I can confirm that Penn's solution does work in creating the /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-24-generic file. The symlink is also created properly. However, with the symlink still there, it must be removed or moved first or the above solution will not work.
Steps I did to complete without errors:
$ sudo rm /initrd.img $ 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
