Title:
  update-initramfs with a full /tmp isn't handled...

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

  When doing an apt-get dist-upgrade, during the update-initramfs
  couldn't create the image due to lack of space in /tmp, it just
  continued on anyway ignoring the errors. Fortunately I was awake
  enough to spot the problem, free space in /tmp and manually generate
  the image but unattended updates, or ones hidden amongst heaps of
  other updates could cause problems.

  I think this is different to #300742 since that seems to be for
  putting generated images into /boot

  Latest Jaunty as of 12 Apr 2009.
