[Bug 1605941] Re: package initramfs-tools 0.122ubuntu8.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Benjamin Drung]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The relevant dpkg terminal log says:

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-28-generic
cp: omitting directory '/etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules'
E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev failed with return 1.
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-28-generic with 1.

This failure can be easily reproduced by creating a directory in the
udev rules directory:

```
$ schroot-wrapper -p initramfs-tools,udev,linux-image-generic,zstd -u root -c noble
[...]
$ mkdir /etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules
$ update-initramfs -u
cp: -r not specified; omitting directory '/etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules'
E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev failed with return 1.
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-6.5.0-9-generic with 1.
```

/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev is shipped by udev. So re-
assigning to the corresponding source package systemd.

** Package changed: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) => systemd (Ubuntu)

** Description changed:

- NOT SURE WHAT IT IS  SORRY
+ update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-28-generic
+ cp: omitting directory '/etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules'
+ E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev failed with return 1.
