Public bug reported:
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.133ubuntu10) ...
ln: failed to create hard link '/boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-1045-raspi2.dpkg-bak' => '/boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-1045-raspi2': Operation not permitted
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-1045-raspi2
Unsupported platform.
run-parts: /etc/initramfs/post-update.d//flash-kernel exited with return code 1
dpkg: error processing package initramfs-tools (--configure):
installed initramfs-tools package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
initramfs-tools
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I am assuming that this is due to the /boot partition on the Raspberry
Pi being Fat16 and not supporting hardlinks. Use a copy instead?
Keeps trying to complete every time I run apt-get.
You might find these helpful in seeing how they handled it.

I used these instructions ( https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/how-to-get-
ubuntu-mate-18-04-up-on-raspberry-pi-4/20049 ) and then upgraded some
packages to eoan.
