[Bug 1313085] Re: E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/kmod failed with return 1

[dino99]

** Description changed:

  This happen after trusty migration to utopic and purging an old installed kernel.
  Then initramfs fail to configure the kernel(s)
  
  oem at dev32:~$ sudo update-initramfs -u
  update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-24-generic
  cp: cannot stat ‘/lib/modprobe.d/*’: No such file or directory
  E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/kmod failed with return 1.
  update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-24-generic with 1.
+ 
+ Trying to reinstall it, i get: 
+  E: Internal Error, No file name for initramfs-tools:i386
+ 
  
  So it seems that the latest kmod (16.2ubuntu1) upgrade into utopic have broken the not yet upgraded initramfs-tools package.
  The problem also exist with a newer kernel:
  
   run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms 3.14.1-031401-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.14.1-031401-generic
  dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-image-3.14.1-031401-generic:

   Package initramfs-tools is not configured yet.
