found the reason for all this : I deleted old kernel from /boot and forgot to update-grub and to remove this kernel from packages . It seems that update-initramfs takes kernels list from packages and it was expecting to find old initrd in /boot
Anyway , this is not a bug - I would describe it as new feature request for update-initramfs to check the presence of required files first . -- package linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic 2.6.32-24.42 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 17 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627909 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
