[Bug 1765757] [NEW] package initramfs-tools 0.130ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: installed initramfs-tools package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 139

[Malachi de AElfweald]

Public bug reported:

update-grub hangs entire system at found initrd indefinitely.
If I temporarily hard-reboot and add `acpi=off` to kernel params, update-grub finishes.

This is a fresh "Erase disk and Reinstall" of a Minimal from yesterdays
bionic iso
