I installed 17.10 since beta and been having some issues when updating the system.
Apt hangs on some packages postinst scripts.
First it was `console-setup` if I remember correctly. Later dkms modules started showing the same symptom (e.g. Virtualbox's).
Now I can't update the kernel.
It just hangs there for hours and I end up having to kill the postinst scripts. Otherwise it just hangs (left it for 12+ hours twice, nothing happens).
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms 4.13.0-16-generic /boot/vmlinuz-4.13.0-16-generic
dpkg: error processing package linux-headers-4.13.0-16-generic (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script was killed by signal (Terminated)
Setting up virtualbox (5.1.30-dfsg-1) ...
dpkg: error processing package virtualbox (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script was killed by signal (Terminated)
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-signed-image-4.13.0-16-generic:
linux-signed-image-4.13.0-16-generic depends on linux-image-4.13.0-16-generic (= 4.13.0-16.19); however:
Package linux-image-4.13.0-16-generic is not configured yet.
This is getting obnoxious.
