[Bug 1077598] Re: package plymouth 0.8.2-2ubuntu30 failed to install/upgrade: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

The error in the log is:

Setting up initramfs-tools (0.99ubuntu13) ...

dpkg: error processing initramfs-tools (--configure):

This is probably a known (and since-fixed) bug in the casper hook.
There is no reason to have the casper package on an installed system
unless you're using a live image (which doesn't appear to be the case
here); you should be able to work around this by removing the casper
package.

** Package changed: plymouth (Ubuntu) => casper (Ubuntu)
