Ubuntu 20.04, being Debian-based, doesn't normally use SELinux in the default install. However I'm not familiar with the history of these systems so it's theoretically possible that it was turned on on only this system for some reason. I will investigate that possibility. Thank you.

Most probably root cause is related to selinux. Try to rename semanage before running the bootstrap and rename it back after installation. The root cause that bash script is failing on failing one of the commands inside it on Debian based distros. Will fix it in next releases. Thanks for the notification.

Hi Paul-Andre. The script is inside the package, on installing it's expanding from the package, don't remember exact path on the system. But I've already checked it and it seems it can only fail in case of presence `semanage` on the system while selinux is not configured. Try to check if `which semanage` returns the path to the binary, if so, rename it temporary or remove the package it's shipped with.

Hi Paul-Andre. It's really interesting. Try to check if there is a file on the system: /var/lib/dpkg/info/venv- salt-minion.postinst If it's present, try to run it the following way: bash -e -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/venv-salt-minion.postinst ; echo $? Send me the output, please. If the file is not present, you can get it with dpkg-deb from the package: dpkg-deb -e venv-salt-minion_3002.2-47.3.uyuni_amd64.deb Use -x to extract the files. -e extracts the control files including postinstall script.
