mkinitramfs failure on upgrade

[durwoodg]

I know WHY this happened, but I need to know what problems it's going to cause and how I can re-install / fix the problem.

I have my /tmp folder mounted as -noexec ... so when i did a recent update to my 10.04.1 LTS server installation, I got the following errors:

Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...

Press return to continue.

What should I do now? (besides, obviously, removing the -noexec flag from /tmp so this doesn't happen again!)

Thanks!

If (after remounting the /tmp) you do
sudo dpkg --configure -adoes the package install successfully?
