Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I find that a restart solves the issue. (sudo apt-get install trousers -> exit code 137 -> sudo reboot -> installed on reboot)
I shouldn't have to restart though.

I encoutnered this problem after installing tpm-tools:
$ sudo apt-get install tpm-tools
...

The TPM module was turned off in the BIOS/UEFI setup.

Same as above. The problem appears to be due to an error in the postinstall script, which references "udevd" instead of "systemd-udevd".

Fixed via this chef recipe, but should really be fixed in the package:
