[Bug 1009330] [NEW] package initramfs-tools 0.99ubuntu13 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Carla Sella]

Public bug reported:

I launched an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and got an error.
Do not know exactly what caused it.
I launched apt-get clean and again apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, now everything seems fine.
