[Bug 1009330] Re: package initramfs-tools 0.99ubuntu13 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Carla Sella]

Yes I found out that /etc/initramfs-tools/modules was a broken link, so I removed it and I made a correct link and the problem is solved now.
I canceled this link:
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    53 Jun 20 07:50 modules -> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules.BeforeVMwareToolsInstall
and made a new one to:
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules.AfterVMwareToolsInstall

Probably the problem was related to moving a VM from VMWare to Virtualbox.
Thank you.
