[Bug 1616534] Re: package initramfs-tools 0.122ubuntu8.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Doobleshaft]

Thanks. I'm not sure if this will be possible. I was trying to state but
in my haste typed too quickly that I quit the installer which transfered
me to the "Try Ubuntu" option after I had booted from a 64Gb flash drive
that booted from the ISO downloaded from the Ubuntu site.

Does this mean there is an error in the ISO that needs to be resolved?
I'll attempt it as I do have a persistence file of around 700Mb but such
updates tend not to work in my experience especially if there are
lengthy updates.

As I'm attempting to install though once I have used GParted to get
enough space on the drive I'll do exactly what's recommended once the
install is complete. I assume though that this error won't occur then
anyway though as I won't be running from USB flash drive.
