[Bug 1680381] [NEW] package initramfs-tools 0.122ubuntu8.8 [modified: usr/sbin/update-initramfs] failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Ben Ridgway]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu16.04.2 LTS_Xenial Xerus_-Release amd64(20170215.2}
This bug if it is one is as a result of a previous attempt to get Ubuntu to install on this ssd(Samsung 840 EVO). The installation stalled straight after the automated restart( the ubuntu splash screen sat there for 15 minutes!), having downloaded everything. I used standard installation defaults, nothing special, so it shouldn't have done this.

The installation is a complete installation over Win10, so the disk was
formatted by Ubuntu.

THis 'bug' was created by a second attempt to re-install Ubuntu over the
previous copy which stalled or failed to setup, it apparently failed,
though being a noob it may be a partial success, I don't  know and defer
to your better judgement...
