---Problem Description---
apt-get upgrade process is hung when it comes to update the initramfs and it 
never finishes with any error messages.  So I have to kill the process and 
restart it. But the system asks run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the 
problem if I run 'apt-get upgrade' again. I got the same problem with running 
'dpkg --configure -a'.
