I have this problem on a ubuntu 12.04.4 server.
Sadly the links provided by Chris are no longer available on the URL
specified above. Please could you confirm if there is an alternative
workaround?
Disk space was full (now cleared) and currently getting:
# apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
initramfs-tools : Depends: initramfs-tools-bin ( 0.99ubuntu13.1~) bbut
0.99ubuntu13.5 is installed
