[Karol Szkudlarek]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

upgrade packages (after apt-get upgrade) finishing with errors and give
me note that I have to to "dpkg --configure -a" to get system work.
After I execute: dpkg --configure -a I got the following errors:

root at karol:~# dpkg --configure -a
