[Bug 1486748] [NEW] package uuid-runtime 2.25.2-4ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

 

Public bug reported:

This happened after what appeared to be a weird crash that caused major
issues. On boot both of the screens were flashing on (black screen) and
off (like in sleep mode/computer powered off). I took the computer to a
smaller station with wired Ethernet, and only one monitor. After moving
to this new location I tried in vein to access the recovery mode. Then I
put the Ubuntu 15.04 installer onto a flash-drive from a laptop and ran
a reinstall in place. After that it still would not boot. I was able to
get to the recovery mode. In recovery mode I enabled networking and then
ran the option to fix packages. It said that kernal modules were failing
to load. I then restarted into recovery-mode, enabled networking, then
ran a dpkg --configure -a, an apt-get update, and an apt-get upgrade.
That is when the package started to surface as a potential culprit.
After that it was able to boot into Gnome. I am now moving my files off
with the intention of performing a clean install.
