retitle 343092 linux-image configuration fails
thanks

Hi,

This is a kernel-package bug, fixed in version 10.018. From the changelog:

kernel-package (10.018) unstable; urgency=low
[..]
   * When done with debconf, call stop: this shall help prevent errors if
     the hook scripts write to stdout. Also, when calling the hook scripts,
     redirect stdout to stderr, just in case -- and to ensure that the
     messages do not silently disappear.

I'm pretty sure that in your case the failure to configure is due to the
grub-update script writing to stdout, which was misinterpreted by debconf.
I'll keep the bug open to avoid duplicates and will close it as soon as
the new linux-image packages built with the fixed kernel-package are
uploaded.

Best regards,
