Title:
  package initramfs-tools 0.136ubuntu6.6 failed to install/upgrade:
  installed initramfs-tools package post-installation script subprocess
  returned error exit status 1

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04.3 failed.  An upgrade may not succeed your  system may be unusable...etc.
  Retrying install is failing again this time due to space on /boot...will make space and retry.  

  I am presuming that the install pointing to URL generated a message to
  the developers with details.
