[Bug 1185300] Re: package linux-image-3.9.0-2-generic 3.9.0-2.7 failed to install/upgrade: run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 1

[Robie Basak]

I can see that a change that affects this issue was made in
0.8.8-0ubuntu7 - presumably this is where this bug was fixed?

I hit this with an upgrade from Raring to Saucy just now. The upgrade is
still in progress; plymouth is still on 0.8.8-0ubuntu6.1 and hasn't been
upgraded yet.

The bug caused a popup window telling me that the initramfs-tools
postinst failed.

Given that this affects the upgrader UX, would it be an idea to SRU this
to affected releases? Otherwise people upgrading from Raring to Saucy
will hit this if plymouth isn't upgraded early enough in the process.
