Removing linux-image-4.15.0-112-generic fails - more errors follow
by jan128 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BKYX)
I am trying to install bluetooth library on Ubuntu 16.
The install saiz it will remove "linux-image-4.15.0-112-generic" but it fails to do so.
Also the primary task to install the library does not complete.
The process also finds problem with grub , gives option to correct it but never stops to take the option.
Running "update " and "upgrade" gives similar results - error code.
I prefer NOT to edit "grub" manually.
Any SAFE suggestions how to recover from these errors would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
