I've been using Ubuntu 18.04 since 2018. Almost all updates/upgrades have been performed from Software Updater. During the updates I get:
Setting up linux-firmware (1.173.19) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-112-generic
Fatal: open /boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-76-generic: No such file or directory
run-parts: /etc/initramfs/post-update.d//runlilo exited with return code 1
dpkg: error processing linux-firmware (--configure):
installed linux-firmware post-installation script returned error exit status 1
And at the end:
After restart (it is asked):
Some weeks ago I started a new thread that ended in 58 posts without a solution. We tried to clean-remove old kernels but sudo apt-get full-upgrade always ends in:
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
It seems that something is invoking vmlinuz-4.15.0-76-generic, an old kernel. We couldn't find what it is.
