Title:
  dpkg, apt-get, and update manager (partial upgrade) lock up when
  updating initramfs-tools

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  i was installing updates on my ubuntu 10.10 tower (i686), and it
  always locks when updating initramfs-tools. it is creating some boot
  file (i do not know off the top of my head, i will post it as soon as
  i know what it is) when it locks. i tried apt-get, it made me run dpkg
  --configure -a to resume-installation, no surprise, but that locked
  too. using update manager, of course, made me do a partial upgrade,
  but again, locked at the exact same point.

  now i am stuck with a computer that is incapable of installing
  software or updates...
