cp: cannot stat ‘/module-files.d/libpango1.0-0.modules’: No such file or directory

Hey list,

My question is specific to the gnome3-team, but I see that they've
moved their list here.

Ever since upgrading my libpango to the latest on the aforementioned's
GNOME3 PPA, I have had issues every time update-initramfs is run to
rebuild the system's initial ramdisk. I am running Xubuntu 13.04
(amd64). Aptitude reports the following when the appropriate package
hook is executed:

        update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
        Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
        ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
        Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
        update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.8.0-27-generic
        cp: cannot stat ‘/module-files.d/libpango1.0-0.modules’: No such file or directory
        cp: cannot stat ‘/modules/pango-basic-fc.so’: No such file or directory
        E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth failed with return 1.
        update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-3.8.0-27-generic with 1.
        dpkg: error processing initramfs-tools (--configure):
         subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
        No apport report written because MaxReports has already been reached
        Errors were encountered while processing:
         initramfs-tools
        E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I'm guessing one of the pango packages may be missing some files needed
to generate the ramdisk. Granted, the PPA is a use at your own risk,
but this is something that was probably unintentional and can easily be
patched. Otherwise, this could be dangerous if it leaves the user in an
unbootable state.
