package linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic-pae 2.6.32-24.42 failed to install/upgrade: le sous-processus script post-installation installé a retourné une erreur de sortie d'état 143

[Nicolas Marchildon]

Binary package hint: grub2

upgrade was stuck in grub update script, ps auxf showed it was into probing a device (sorry, lost the info). I killed it, but it didn't unblock. I killed its parent and the upgrade unblocked. I then rebooted.
