My case resolved: somehow during upgrade I got /run as symlink to /var/run and /var/run as symlink to /run. After I patched this, the problem is gone. But it took time to spot it.
Regarding bug title: I find this error message to be not too informativeā¦ Providing some detail about the problem (which directory is not empty and what it contains, for example) woudl make resolving problems much easier. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/613273 Title: run-init: nuking initramfs contents: directory not empty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/613273/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
