Public bug reported:

I encountered a problem trying to install 4.3 kernel on Wily.  (This is
not the bug I'm reporting.) http://pastebin.com/Lp6ZgWV0


Investigating the complaint that initramfs-tools was not configured, I tried the command listed in the summary.

> dpkg --configure initramfs-tools

The result was this.  http://pastebin.com/X2Bg4YWs

The line "ln: error: /proc/mounts: file is empty" seemed very strange,
because /proc/mounts is a symlink to /proc/self/mounts, which is not
empty.

The error occurs even after purging all the 4.3 kernels, uninstalling
all microcode and proprietary drivers.  Note the error is encountered
when processing the 4.2 kernel, not 4.3.
