[Bug 1735088] Re: package initramfs-tools 0.125ubuntu12 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script was killed by signal (Terminated)

[Drew Balliet]

Had to boot to 4.10.0.42 or 4.14.0-11 to get command to run. Issue seen
on both 4.13.0-17-generic and 4.13.0-19-generic.

Another issue that accompanied this issue was that after updating to
17.10 PC would no longer reboot or shutdown. Updating kernel manually to
4.14.0-11 and manually booting to  4.14.0-11 linux-image resolved issue.
I was then able to install software needed, update-initramfs, boot, and
reboot normally. Currently running with 17.10 package set and newer
kernel.
