package initramfs-tools 0.103ubuntu0.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 on Toshiba AC100 with 12.10 alpha

[Johan Ehnberg]

The post install trigger in /etc/initramfs/post-update.d/flash-kernel said no Android boot partition could be found.

It seems caused by the removed abootimg through 'apt-get autoremove.' This was after a clean install followed by a 'apt-get dist-upgrade', so it should not happen.

Likely it would make sense to have abootimg a dependency somewhere in what is installed by default.
