    [Solved!] Memtest86+ Upgrade Error

    Upgrading to Karmic went fine -- with one exception. Synaptic now shows memtest86+ needs to be upgraded from version
    2.11.3ubuntu1 (now)
    to version
    2.11.3ubuntu4 (karmic)

    Attempting this produces the error:

    E: /var/cache/apt/archives/memtest86+_2.11-3ubuntu4_amd64.deb:
    subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 1


    Doing it manually with sudo apt-get upgrade I get basically the same thing:

    Code:
    Preparing to replace memtest86+ 2.11-3ubuntu1 (using .../memtest86+_2.11-3ubuntu4_amd64.deb) ...

    Any suggestions?

    Turns out not to be memtest86+ at all!

    I decided to check out those grub errors instead. Working through this post http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=473340 I discovered I didn't have grub installed! A ...

    sudo apt-get install grub

    followed by

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade

    fixed everything!
