[Bug 1956831] Re: package initramfs-tools 0.136ubuntu6.6 failed to install/upgrade: installed initramfs-tools package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Anders]

Thank you Brian for getting back.

The problem was indeed that /boot was full -  after cleaning it up
manually the upgrade went through. Since I know that /boot is a problem
with updates, I did clean it before doing the upgrade, but apparently
not enough.

The installation was done long ago (7 years according to the status
dump) and I think it was from a bootable USB stick with online download
of packages. I've never made a reinstall for these years - just upgraded
multiple times.

To me, this problem is solved and it the ticket can be closed. When I
looked it up I found multiple similar bug reports, but for older
versions. So I did send in the auto-report to inform that it occurs in
this version too and hope it could help with clues on what causes the
crash to the upgrade.
