Bug#527360: initramfs-tools fails to complete installation with error
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
While updating initramfs-tools today I recieved an error from dpkg informing me that installation had failed.
On running the suggested dpkg --configure -a this is what I recieved
sudo dpkg --configure -a
