The problem/cause seems to be that "initramfs-tools-core" package has no direct or indirect hard dependency on "e2fsprogs". I believe either the package dependency should be added, or the fixrtc hook script should be rewritten so that it just outputs a warning instead of aborting with a failure if missing "dumpe2fs" is not a critical problem. This issue seems to affect at least Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04.
