[Bug 1743572] [NEW] package linux-image-4.13.0-25-generic 4.13.0-25.29 failed to install/upgrade: run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 143

[Drew Balliet]

Public bug reported:

update-initramfs fails to finish update process and hang apt
indefinitely. In other order to continue process must be killed. Then
apt and dpkg goes into unusable state.

Only way to resolve is to hard shutdown system and reboot in different
kernel. Issues follows the linux-image-extra package.
