[Bug 1730630] [NEW] package linux-image-4.10.0-38-generic 4.10.0-38.42 failed to install/upgrade: run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 2

[James Blandford]

Public bug reported:

Updating Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 to 17.04 gives me a serious package error
about "unable to install linux-firmware, linux-image, etc."

Possibly has broke my installation, not sure.

lsb_release -rd returns "Ubuntu 17.04" so I think the upgrade worked but
as this is my work computer I will restart when I have some time just in
case it has broken the install
