Looks like bug #948257.

The above says that installing firmware-misc-nonfree fixed a problem
with firmware-misc-nonfree, which can't be right.

Your subject says something about initramfs-tools-core, so I infer that
installing (or upgrading) that fixed the error messages.  But I think
you already had initramfs-tools-core installed, as otherwise that error
message wouldn't have appeared.

Check in /var/log/dpkg.log - that will show whether initramfs-tools-
core was newly installed or upgraded.

The program is absolutely right; therefore, the computer must be wrong.
