  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
  status 1

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Seems similar to #1578762 but this error message says "initramfs-tools
  0.122ubuntu8.1".  This error first appeared when attempting to upgrade
  my distribution.  After the failure to upgrade which this error
  message announced my system is in fairly flaky condition.  uname -a
  returns "Linux <my system name> 4.4.0-31-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Wed
  Jul 13 00:07:12 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux".

  I will now do a fresh installation, if I can get my machine to
  download 16.04.1.
