Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-29-generic x86_64)

  linux-modules-4.15.0-24-generic linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-24-generic
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

dpkg: error processing package irqbalance (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:
 irqbalance
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

How can I repair it?

Try this: sudo dpkg --configure -a. Somehow there is one package (irqbalance) not yet completely configured. — Jos, Aug 08 '18 at 09:33
Hi Jos, thanks. That gave me this: user11@host11:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a [sudo] password for user11: Setting up irqbalance (1.3.0-0.1) ... ... ... ... ... ... Errors were encountered while processing: irqbalance — Magnus Sundqvist, Aug 08 '18 at 09:47
It looks like irqbalance was downloaded with empty script files (missing this and that). Perhaps doing sudo apt install --reinstall irqbalance may help. — Jos, Aug 08 '18 at 10:01
Thanks but it gave me this Reading state information... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: linux-headers-4.15.0-24 linux-headers-4.15.0-24-generic linux-image-4.15.0-24-generic linux-modules-4.15.0-24-generic linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-24-generic Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used. E: Internal Error, No file name for irqbalance:amd64 — Magnus Sundqvist, Aug 08 '18 at 10:03
Perhaps the first (but unaccepted) answer to this question will help. At this point, it is safe to reboot. — Jos, Aug 08 '18 at 10:05
rebooted, apt-get update, then hit the same apt-get upgrade issue, then the same error when --reinstall irqbalance. — Magnus Sundqvist, Aug 08 '18 at 10:11
Can you try removing irqbalance (which, as far as I can tell, doesn't have anything depending on it)? Try using apt remove irqbalance -s to simulate removal and see what will happen. If nothing awful appears like removing ubuntu-desktop go ahead and try sudo apt remove irqbalance. If it fails, try it with the lower level package manager sudo dpkg --purge irqbalance. If that works, run sudo apt update to see if it comes out clean or if there's an underlying problem. You can reinstall irqbalance if all is well... — Zanna, Aug 08 '18 at 11:51
Thanks Zanna, that uninstall did it. If I try to install irqbalance I get the error so I'll let it be uninstalled — Magnus Sundqvist, Aug 08 '18 at 12:35
OK, good news, thanks for adding your solution as an answer :) — Zanna, Aug 08 '18 at 12:54

sudo apt remove irqbalance

That command did remove the errors and I'm satisfied. Thanks everyone involved.

If the problem is reproducible, consider filing a bug against the irqbalance package. It's supposed to work out-of-the-box. – user535733 Aug 12 '18 at 23:14

Upgrade to 18.04, now sudo apt-get upgrade produces loads of insserv errors as irqbalance is not configured
