[Bug 846459] Re: package initramfs-tools 0.98.8ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Robert David Hodson]

Removing old linux images etc freed up sufficient disk space for initramfs-tools to be re-installed with Synaptic. Problem caused by insufficient disk space on /boot partition during upgrade. This in turn was  caused by allowing the number of available linux images to build up during updates. 
It would be useful if a disk space check were performed prior to upgrade.
