[Bug 1512026] Re: package initramfs-tools 0.120ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

 

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  The version of update-initramfs that you likely have
installed is unable to work on a persistent usb stick.  You can resolve
this issue by upgrading the version of casper on your system. This can
be done via the commands:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install casper

Then performing the software update or installation that you were
originally trying.  If this does not resolve your bug please set its
status back to New.  Thanks in advance!

** Tags added: needs-new-casper

** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

  package initramfs-tools 0.120ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade:
  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I'm trying to install Ubuntu onto a new SSD with non-functioning Windows partitions.
  The Windows OS partitions were cloned from another drive using Clonezilla.
  I'm hoping that installing Ubuntu will write a new boot sector or something like that and make everything bootable.

  The whole process is in order to migrate Ubuntu and Windows from two
  separate SSD's in the same laptop onto a single (larger)  SSD so that
  I can use the DVD writer again.

  Thanks for any help!
