[Bug 838060] Re: package man-db 2.5.7-2ubuntu1 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 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: man-db (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

** Tags added: needs-new-casper
