Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The Ubuntu version this bug was reported against reached
end-of-life. We appreciate that this bug may be old and you might not be
interested in discussing it anymore. But if you are then please upgrade
to the latest Ubuntu version and re-test. If you then find the bug is
still present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here
telling us which new version it is in.
I recently applied a patch to handle missing modules IIRC. So I assume
that it is fixed in Ubuntu 24.04 or 24.10.
** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)

Title:
initramfs-tools trigger fails if modules aren't installed
Status in initramfs-tools:
New
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I upgraded a system from gutsy to hardy. Before starting the do-
release-upgrade -d, I removed all the kernel and modules packages that
were installed under gutsy (I use my own kernel, because 2.6.24 has
kernel bug 10118, and I was running out of disk space on /boot).
During the "setting up" stage, I hit problems: apt refused to do
anything further and told me to run dpkg --configure -a. but dpkg
--configure -a failed because the initramfs-tools trigger couldn't
find the appropriate /lib/modules directory.
I eventually found a workaround:
rm /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/initramfs-tools
If initramfs-tools can't install without kernel modules installed,
shouldn't it have a dependency on some modules package? Or, better
still, maybe have the initramfs-tools trigger exit gracefully if it
doesn't see any modules.
