I am getting a similar error. First of all whenever I run 'aptitude update' the update wont finish because I get this error:
Get:3 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com lucid/main Packages [1,374kB] E: Method bzip2 has died unexpectedly! E: Sub-process bzip2 received signal 9. E: Method /usr/lib/apt/methods/bzip2 did not start correctly E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. Secondly, whenever I run 'aptitude upgrade' I get an error with initramfs-tools. It tell me to run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'. When I do, I get this: Setting up initramfs-tools (0.92bubuntu69) ... update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-17-generic Killed update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-17-generic dpkg: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Therefore, I can not update or upgrade my system right now on Lucid. I am basically at a standstill. -- update-initramfs fails in mkinitramfs with "cpio: ./different/files: Cannot stat: No such file or directory" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/540686 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
