Error on Kernel updates?

[animaster]

Hi,
I got this error when updating from 2.6.28-12 to 2.6.28-13.
When I try "sudo apt-get install -f" command, I get the following output:


me@laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install -f

Anyone can help me with this?

Thank you in advance.

I get that error when trying a new install of 9.04. Tried kubuntu 9.04, ubuntu 9.04, and netinstall CDs of each. :/

Must be a bug.

I have the same issue, and may have installed a restricted-modules kernel earlier on. (So long ago I don't really remember.)

Synaptic, apt-get and so on can't be used, stating I have to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" manually first.
Attempting this, however, causes a segmentation fault, and results in exactly nothing except "error exit status 1."
As far as I've been able to trace, the segfault seems to happen in update-initramfs, but really happens in mkinitramfs as update-initramfs calls "mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-13.generic.new 2.6.28-13-generic"

I haven't been able to find the exact spot where things go pear-shaped, but perhaps someone with a little more experience can help me out a little? ](*,)
