[Bug 810075] Re: package initramfs-tools 0.98.8ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 137

[Ubuntu Foundation's Bug Bot]

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

Title:
  package initramfs-tools 0.98.8ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade:
  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
  status 137

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  After attempting to install simple-ccsm (which also failed, something
  with compiz-core), Ubuntu Software Center crashed.

  I was told to update the following packages:
  software-center app-install-data apt apt-utils glib-networking initramfs-tools initramfs-tools-bin libcups2 libpam-modules libpam-modules-bin libpam0g libplymouth2 perl-base plymouth python-apt python-apt-common python-gobject tzdata ubuntu-sso-client x11-common

  And then initramfs-tools failed to update.

  Notice that I use Ubuntu from a USB drive (Persistent yes)
