This bug was reported against the linux-meta package when it likely should have been reported against the linux package instead. We are automatically transitioning this to the linux kernel package so that the appropriate teams are notified and made aware of this issue.

If this bug really is a bug in the linux-meta package you can move it back to linux-meta and set the Status to Confirmed, or contact us on the #ubuntu-kernel channel on the FreeNode IRC server. Thanks.

Hi RajeshTN,

Is this still an issue for you? Examining your DpkgTerminalLog.gz file I notice the following which seems to indicate this may be related to nvidia-glx-180:
