Steps to reproduce:
run `sudo apt install linux-image-extra-4.10.0-30-generic`
run `sudo apt remove fonts-dejavu-core`
run `sudo apt remove linux-image-extra-4.10.0-30-generic`
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 17.04
Release: 17.04
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
Installed: 4.10.0-30.34
3) What you expected to happen
linux-image-extra-4.10.0-30-generic is removed.
4) What happened instead
cp: cannot stat '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSerif.ttf': No such file or directory
E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth failed with return 1.
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-4.10.0-30-generic with 1.
run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 1
dpkg: error processing package linux-image-extra-4.10.0-30-generic (--remove):
subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-image-extra-4.10.0-30-generic
This is especially annoying because when you run `sudo apt install fonts-dejavu-core`, apt attempts to remove linux-image-extra-4.10.0-30-generic, then fails, then doesn't install fonts-dejavu-core. This also happens when you try to install any other package.
