[Bug 1680381] Re: package initramfs-tools 0.122ubuntu8.8 [modified: usr/sbin/update-initramfs] failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  The version of update-initramfs that you likely have
installed is unable to work on a persistent usb stick.  You can resolve
this issue by upgrading the version of casper on your system. This can
be done via the commands:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install casper

Then performing the software update or installation that you were
originally trying.  If this does not resolve your bug please set its
status back to New.  Thanks in advance!

** Tags added: needs-new-casper

** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Bug description:
  Ubuntu16.04.2 LTS_Xenial Xerus_-Release amd64(20170215.2}
  This bug if it is one is as a result of a previous attempt to get Ubuntu to install on this ssd(Samsung 840 EVO). The installation stalled straight after the automated restart( the ubuntu splash screen sat there for 15 minutes!), having downloaded everything. I used standard installation defaults, nothing special, so it shouldn't have done this.

  The installation is a complete installation over Win10, so the disk
  was formatted by Ubuntu.

  THis 'bug' was created by a second attempt to re-install Ubuntu over
  the previous copy which stalled or failed to setup, it apparently
  failed, though being a noob it may be a partial success, I don't  know
  and defer to your better judgement...
