Great. 1. It's a good thing I'm already registered or I may not have stopped to file a report. Please allow non-registered bugs to be filed and do so in such a manner that if it is duplicate or inconsequential is can be quickly dismissed.

2. I could not easily tell is a similar bug has been filed.

3. Now that I'm here trying to report the details, I can NOT cut the text because it is being held up by the dialog that says its about to run a "dpkg --configure -a" (At least l can paste that). Once I click OK the details will surely be gone.

Processing trigger for initramfs-tools...

Seems to be the gist of it.
