package systemd 219-7ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

From DpkgTerminalLog:

Processing triggers for systemd (219-7ubuntu1) ...
Failed to execute operation: Connessione scaduta
dpkg: error processing package systemd (--unpack):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

In Dmesg we can also see a kernel OOPS which may or may not be related:

 It appears to be a temporary kernel glitch, but can you reproduce this with "sudo apt-get install --reinstall systemd"? If so, attaching the output of "journalctl" would be appreciated. If this reproduces the crash, please also copy&paste the output of

  sudo sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/systemd.postinst configure 219-7ubuntu3

Thanks!

I Think You're right. now with system 219-7ubuntu4 there are no more errors.

Ah, I forgot to give you the command with setting DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME=systemd, but it already went past all the interesting bits. This doesn't seem to be anything which we can fix/work around in systemd itself, at most it's a kernel bug. So I'm closing this report now. Please do yell if you see this again; once this is reproducible somehow we have a chance of investigating and fixing this properly. Thanks!

I got pointed to this bug while I was installing updates on 15.04 and got a crash...
