update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.2.0-16-generic
Warning: /sbin/fsck.btrfs doesn't exist, can't install to initramfs, ignoring.

gzip: stdout: No space left on device
E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 gzip 1
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-4.2.0-16-generic with 1.

Eh -- I meant to type "1000" MB for /boot, not "100", sorry. Changing to
a low-prio ubiquity bug, it couldn't hurt to warn about/disallow to
small /boot size.

** Summary changed:

- [ubuntu 15.10 ubiquity install] package initramfs-tools 0.120ubuntu6 [modified: usr/sbin/update-initramfs] failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
+ installer or initramfs-tools crashes when size of /boot is too small -- warn/disallow?

** Package changed: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) => ubiquity (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

Title:
  installer or initramfs-tools crashes when size of /boot is too small
  -- warn/disallow?

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I got this crash on today's (20151014) amd64 wily desktop image while
  trying to reproduce bug 1506139. I did a manual partitioning with this
  layout:

  Partition 1: plain ext4 boot partition mounted on /boot
  Partition 2: luks-encrypted swap
  Partition 3: luks-encrypted btrfs for /

  and auto-login (should hardly matter).

  The installer crashed with this initramfs-tools error (and an unclose-
  able error window in ubiquity).
