Title:
  package initramfs-tools 0.99ubuntu8 [modified: usr/sbin/update-
  initramfs] failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-
  installation script returned error exit status 1

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Hello, I just created this bootable USB flash drive on a 4GB Kingston
  flash drive in Windows 7 x64 using the Windows utility. I booted from
  the thumb drive and installed almost 300 updates then rebooted. All
  was well until I started receiving error messages. I have received 3
  so far. This is the 2nd one and I will submit the 3rd one in a moment.
  The first error I couldn't send because I got a message saying Firefox
  is still open and please close or restart it before sending this
  report. I'm paraphrasing from memory so that's not exactly what it
  said but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, it usually appears
  if you close Mozilla Firefox as try to reopen it too fast.

  If you tell me how then I can try to resend the first error report for
  the error I received.

  None of these error messages that popped up seem to have caused any
  apparent issues other than the messages notifying me that there was a
  problem. I took screen shots of every error I received so you need
  only ask and I will give them to you. Ask anything and it will be
  given to you promptly. I don't know much about these errors so I will
  refrain from speculating and in no way is this an angry rant to get
  your acts together to the opensource community. I understand that this
  is an community project and you don't have to give me anything. The
  complete opposite, I am a fan and I am only sending this error report
  in for the community because I know that every person that sends in a
  report is helping to make ubuntu linux all the more better for all of
  us and not only me.

  I will leave you to it, please don't be shy to ask me questions and
  more information that will help you understand this bug. Linux is very
  interesting to me and I would like to wish you luck in taming and
  grooming this OS to becoming more stable and suitable for global
  dominance in the future.
