Public bug reported: Was using apt upgrade to update multiple components (I believe around 650mb) and towards the end of the installation, it was doing the headers when the error occurred. The system running is a live-boot USB with a 4gb persistence file for storage/updates. I'm thinking this might inherently be the issue, since further errors occurred with fstab telling me that it was unable to determine the root device. I've never had any issues updating headers before, but I've also never tried to perform a header update on a USB system, so I decided to report, just in case there is a larger issue.
