Public bug reported:

This installation of 10.10 is on a 4gb flash drive running on a Dell M90
with nvidia 3500m graphics card. The driver installation failed with
just a basic message which is not very informative for troubleshooting.

Sorry, the package "initramfs-tools 0.98.1ubuntu6" failed to install or
upgrade" was the message.
