package linux-image-3.13.0-92-generic 3.13.0-92.139 failed to install/upgrade: run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-runlilo exited with return code 1

[Peter D.]

The only Ubuntu error here is that the real error message from LiLo was hidden in a large number of information messages.

After "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" a large number of packages were installed. Possibly there was an error from LiLo in the mist of that, if so I missed it. There appeared to be a failure installing a new kernel, so I uninstalled it, saw a LiLo error, fixed it (I had referenced an unreadable message file) and reinstalled the new kernel with an error from /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub. I guess that I did not purge that properly. After another couple of uninstall-install cycles all seems well.

Also, why was a stanza for the new kernel added to /etc/lilo.conf? I had to do that manually, and mark and old stanza as "optional". I will uninstall that kernel later. LiLo follows the links that were correctly set up, so it would have worked anyway.

BTW why do you regenerate the initrd of the kernel that is being removed? It seems like a waste of time.
