[Bug 1630850] Re: package initramfs-tools 0.125ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Miles Marx]

This just occurred for me after using tasksel to switch from Ubuntu Mate
to Xubuntu. I simply deselected one, waited for the process to finish,
then reinstalled and re-ran tasksel. I did get an intitramfs related
error when reinstalling tassel, but I ignored it and continued to
install Xubuntu. Xubuntu seemed to install successfully with no errors,
and I am currently using it to type this note.

The error occurred immediately after logging into the new Xubuntu
installation. I know nothing else.

Cheers!
