Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
WHAT I EXPECTED TO HAPPEN:
For dpkg / adept to finish configuring my packages on updating today.
WHAT HAPPENED / DESCRIPTION:
I'd love to provide more info here, but unfortunately the ubuntu wiki instructions for getting a backtrace on this didn't work for me and there doesn't seem to be a relevant -dbg package. Anyway, what I can provide is that:
On today's updates I get:
=======
Setting up linux-image-
Running depmod.
Failed to run depmod
dpkg: error processing linux-image-
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
=======
* Sudo depmod -a doesn't return anything good or bad. Just back to the command line.
* I've tried apt-get install -f and apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and dpkg --configure -a many times. Same error on dpkg every time.
* The first time it happened I was given the option to "Report a Problem", however after clicking to do that it never came up in any broweser.
SYSTEM:
I'm running:
OS: Kubuntu Jaunty - Dev branch, updated 3 times a day.
ARCHITECTURE: AMD64
RESTRICTED DRIVERS:, I'm using the ati driver, though I did experiment with installing fglrx via jockey and ati .run generated debs. No other restricted drivers anywhere.

Try this:
sudo depmod -a 2.6.28-8-generic
If you run only
sudo depmod -a
it updates the modules database for the running kernel, not the kernel just installed, the command above maybe gives you more information.
Hope this helps.
