** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic
  
  unaltered ibex, ran from usb pendrive - prepared by "create a usb
  startup disk". I ran update manager to update packages and played some
  mp3 file from hard disk, when the update manager reported an error,
  moreover the totem player hang.
  
  The kernel upgrade fail with the following message:
  Setting up linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic (2.6.27-7.14) ...
  Running depmod.
  update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD
  Failed to symbolic-link /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic to initrd.img.
  dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic (--configure):
   subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 17
  
  :: Rationale ::
  If it's not possible to upgrade the kernel, that's fine. But in that case, 
the kernel version should be locked for live CD / live USB bootups. (e.g. in 
Synaptic via "Lock Version" in the "Package")
  
  Currently, "sudo apt-get upgrade" is forever broken, because it always
  tries & fails to install the kernel update. This is a huge turn-off for
  anyone trying out "usb-creator"-built persistent USB installations.
  
+ :: Workaround ::
+ Workaround discussed here: 
http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3096170
+ in brief
+ "A bit of digging has revealed that the /usr/sbin/update-initramfs script is 
a stub on the live CD (or the bootable USB drive made from a live CD). The 
original version can be found in:
+ 
+ /rofs/usr/sbin/update-initramfs
+ so you can (as root):
+ mv /usr/sbin/update-initramfs /usr/sbin/update-initramfs.old
+ and then:
+ ln -s /rofs/usr/sbin/update-initramfs /usr/sbin/update-initramfs
+ "
