[Bug 1659785] Re: package linux-firmware 1.157.8 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Steve Langasek]

I'm sorry, but this was wrongly triaged as a critical bug in initramfs-
tools, when in fact it appears to be a bug in some software not
originating in Ubuntu.  The error in your logs was:

> update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-108-generic
> E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/casper-memdisk failed with return 1.
> update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-108-generic with 1.
> dpkg: error processing package linux-firmware (--configure):
>  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

There is no script named /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/casper-memdisk
as part of any package in the Ubuntu archive.
