Title:
package initramfs-tools 0.98.8ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade:
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
status 1
Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 from a LiveUSB created in Universal USB
Installer. I attempted to activate the Broadcom driver and was
presented with this error message.
This is the version of initramfs-tools I'm running:
initramfs-tools:
Installed: 0.98.8ubuntu3
Candidate: 0.98.8ubuntu3.1
Version table:
0.98.8ubuntu3.1 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 Packages
*** 0.98.8ubuntu3 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
I then tried to configure the package using dpkg in Terminal, and was
given this output:
ubuntu at ubuntu:/usr/bin$ sudo dpkg -C
The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems
configuring them the first time. The configuration should be retried using
dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:

I then tried to update casper, since I found that that may have been the problem, and was given this output:
