[Bug 1388139] Re: package udev 204-5ubuntu20.7 failed to install/upgrade: postinst segfault

 

> /var/lib/dpkg/info/udev.postinst: 15:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/udev.postinst: udevadm: not found

Huh? Can you please try again with

  sudo /sbin/udevadm hwdb --update

Does that crash? If so, we have our culprit (but based on your crash
report list it's not that). So going on with

> E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev failed with return 1.

That's interesting. Can you please run those to get a debugging output:

  sudo sed -i '2 s/^/set -x/' /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev
  sudo update-initramfs -uv 2>&1|tee /tmp/update-initramfs.out
  sudo sed -i '2 s/^.*$//' /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev

and then attach /tmp/update-initramfs.out to this bug report?

dpkg-divert and udev crashing are both very relevant for this bug
report, so uploading them would be appreciated.

Thanks!
