[Bug 744168] 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

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 commands:

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

Then 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)
       Status: New => Incomplete

** Tags added: needs-new-casper
