Problems with latest Gutsy kernel update

Hello,

I don't see anything about this in Google, so I may have something different
about my setup.  In fact, I suspect that it may be related to having
encrypted my entire hard drive (except grub and /boot).

Here are some symptoms when I ran aptitude dist-upgrade:

First the error message, then I try to configure by hand until I find the
root issue.
============

============

Now there was also an recent update to initramfs-tools, don't know if that
is relevant.

Note that /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs exists, but nothing in /usr/bin.  I would be
surprised if there were supposed to be something in /usr/bin, but what do I
know?

Thanks in advance
