package linux-image-2.6.32-25-generic 2.6.32-25.44 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127

[Lon]

Binary package hint: grub2

Ubuntu has been trying for about a week to update with the same
problems, but this is the first time I was offered to send a crash report.

Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS

apt-cache policy packagename
W: Unable to locate package packagename

Sorry, that's all I got...
Still s nOOb after a year and a half.

Thanks,
Lon

The terminal log says:

  /etc/default/grub: 10: quiet: not found

It seems that you've edited /etc/default/grub in a way that made its syntax invalid. You need to edit it again and fix it. You can test whether you've got it right using 'sh -n /etc/default/grub', which should produce no output if the file has valid syntax.

Bug 484499 is about the fact that the upgrade crashed rather than warning you about this and giving you the opportunity to fix it.

Hi Colin,
Thank you for your reply.
I'll go look.
