Bug Description
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
The preinst script of initramfs-tools has the (old) bug from Debian: http://
This causes sed to fail with "sed: no input file" and install of initramfs-tools stops.
This bug is only triggered when installing initramfs-tools for the first time and with an existing /etc/mkinitrd/
After removing the old initrd-tools package installing initramfs-tools was possible.

Thanks for reporting it, linking to previous reported bug #68628.
It looks like it has been fixed in versions later than 0.69ubuntu18 version.
