My computer wouldn't boot after upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10. Picking an older kernel resolved that bit, and then the error reporting lands me here.

Not sure if the problem are related really, but maybe it helps someone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1469167 Title: package linux-image-3.16.0-41-generic 3.16.0-41.57 failed to install/upgrade: run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 1 Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I got the error while running apt-get upgrade.
