Symlink still points to non-existent file, so above solution is not correct. The underlying issue is that update-initramfs is not installed correctly ( see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/974765 ) so the image is not generated.
The correct solution to this problem is: $ sudo rm /usr/sbin/update-initramfs $ sudo dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/sbin/update-initramfs $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1002388 Title: package linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic 3.2.0-24.38 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 17 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1002388/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
