intel_microcode package is available from multiverse, and does work on
saucy (via late loading of the codes)

if update to that package is required, it would fall under SRU/hwe
requests, please file a separate bug report against that package.

it's good that this error is preventing package installation on stable
releases, as early firmware would not be loaded on boot with kernels
present in stable releases at the moment and thus drivers would not
work.

Dimitri.

Title:
  intel_microcode: prepend_earlyinitramfs: not found

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “intel-microcode” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Not sure about the package to be blamed

  thats what i get with a new kernel installation:

  update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.10.0-0-generic
  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/intel_microcode: 115: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/
  intel_microcode: prepend_earlyinitramfs: not found
  E: intel-microcode: failed to prepend early firmware to initramfs
  W: intel-microcode: will try to use late initramfs update mode...

  Note: earlier, i've seen a warning saying something like "initramfs is
  pointing nowhere", so it seems that initramfs need to be updated for
  pointing to the path now used.
