[Bug 1256486] Re: package initramfs-tools 0.99ubuntu13.4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Jeff Vincent]

I just had this happen when I had insufficient disk space on /boot.
That doesn't seem to be your problem.  However, I have also had a
similar problem when there was enough disk space, but the file system
had reached the limit for the maximum number of files allowed -- try
looking into that.  My solution was deleting old kernel files.
