[Bug 814329] [NEW] package initramfs-tools 0.98.8ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Phil Ayres]

Public bug reported:

I was running an upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 (all successful) to 11.04.
I got to the final steps of the upgrade when this error appeared that
initramfs-tools failed to install and that my system might be in an
unusable state.

I haven't tried to reboot yet, but I'm hoping that I'll be back in and
this was just a glitch. Given the opportunity to report this, I chose
to, since this is not the kind of error most people want to be seeing.
If its a duplicate, or I'm just being stupid (not sure how I had
anything to do with this, but still...) just ignore me.
