[Bug 797506] Re: package initramfs-tools 0.98.1ubuntu6 [modified: usr/sbin/update-initramfs] failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Brian Murray]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  The version of update-initramfs that you likely have
installed is unable to work on a persistent usb stick.  You can resolve
this issue by upgrading the version of casper on your system. This can
be done via the command.

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install casper

Then try performing the software update or installation that you were
originally trying.  If this does resolve your bug please set its status
to Invalid.  Thanks in advance!

** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu)
