Comment 14 for bug 314004

I just upgraded 2 July 2009 (yesterday). I never used Lilo. Today it was included in the upgrade (I should have unchecked it, but did not). When I clicked cancel in the pop up window (informing me that it is essential that I run lilo config) it was ignored until the third time, when I received a crash error.

One pop-up: E: lilo: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Quote from upgrade is complete window , details:

   Errors were encountered while processing:
    lilo
   E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
   A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
   Setting up lilo (1:22.8-7ubuntu1) ...

I have removed it using Synaptec. I hope Grub is unaffected.
