And what is the reason for this failure on your system?
Is the config file of lilo empty? Or not filled? Or without image?
And what is the type of boot partition and its filesystem?
Or is it RAID? What type / version?

Without any of this information nobody can help you and your system.

Have a nice day.

I thought that these info existed with the bug/files

Anyway checking last file log (DpkgTerminalLog.txt) I think it has to do with an external hard disk (/dev/sda4) that was once connected (and may have been used) and now it is disconnected.

Will check in the next system update and will let you know.
