Error upgrading to linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 (4.9.88-1+deb9u1)

Hi there,
I can't complete the upgrade process. When ever I tried I got stuck with these messages

Re: Error upgrading to linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 (4.9.88-1+deb9u1)

First try to upgrade grub in terminal:
$ sudo update-grub
and post back the output to analyze.

Re: Error upgrading to linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 (4.9.88-1+deb9u1)

Hi there,

Thanks for the speedy reply. This is the output of update-grub

root@vmq4os21:~# update-grub
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-6-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-6-amd64
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-4-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-4-amd64
done
root@vmq4os21:~#

I did retry the apt-get upgrade ... with the same result as yesterday
The only slight difference, I think I noticed, is some stalling at this line

Generating grub configuration file ...

but then...

run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub exited with return code 1
dpkg: error processing package linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 (--configure):

PS: maybe this is relevant: I'm running Linux in a VMware virtual machine

Re: Error upgrading to linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 (4.9.88-1+deb9u1)

Well, try to run another command in terminal:
$ sudo /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub
and post output here.

Re: Error upgrading to linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 (4.9.88-1+deb9u1)

You could try

sudo apt install -f

which should fix any broken dependencies, if it doesn't work you could post the output to see if that gives any better information.

Re: Error upgrading to linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 (4.9.88-1+deb9u1)

Have you disabled your swap partition? I have read a user with similar problem that was resolved by re-enabling the swap. They disabled it due to upgrading RAM but it seemed to cause the error for them. You can simply issue this command to turn it on (if it is set but disabled)

sudo swapon -av

This will turn on any swap files available and tell you the location (or error messages).

Another possibility is lack of space in your boot partition (depending how it is set-up) you could post the output of

df 

to show this info.

You could also try removing old kernels with this command

sudo apt autoremove --purge

This will remove old kernels and orphaned packages that are no longer required.

If you go through these steps you could now try the fix-dependency command again

sudo apt -f install

and let us know the output again.

Re: Error upgrading to linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 (4.9.88-1+deb9u1)

First can you try this

sudo dpkg --configure -a

and if that does not appear to resolve it can you post the output of

uname -a

and also if possible can you install inxi and post the output of

inxi -F

EDIT: and could you post the output from

cat /etc/default/grub

Re: Error upgrading to linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 (4.9.88-1+deb9u1)

Another option would be manually edit the failing script '/etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub' , add the "exit 0" line just after the first line "#! /bin/sh", and next try to run:
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt dist-upgrade
$ sudo update-grub
and remove the exit line from the script again.

Re: Error upgrading to linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 (4.9.88-1+deb9u1)

I can't see anything obviously wrong (to me) apart from the errors that is, so would recommend following the Q4OS team's advice of disabling the zz-update-grub script.

Re: Error upgrading to linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 (4.9.88-1+deb9u1)

Now I removed the "exit 0" just after the first line in '/etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub' again and did the sanity check

root@vmq4os21:/etc/kernel/postinst.d# head zz-update-grub
#! /bin/sh
set -e
which update-grub >/dev/null 2>&1 || exit 0
if type systemd-detect-virt >/dev/null 2>&1 &&
...
root@vmq4os21:/etc/kernel/postinst.d#

Am I back on track again? Everything is fine?
Is there a way to see whether "linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64" is installed correctly?

Many thanks to all of you
Regards,
Max

Yes, you should be fine. Reboot and check the active kernel:
$ uname -a

and to check the Apt integrity:
$ sudo apt-get check
$ sudo dpkg --audit

Feels good!  
We just happend to do a new package update without complains from the system.
(We did this before I saw your response - we will do the sanity check in a minute!)

Maybe we can relax again (after the sanity check )
