Mint 17.1 apparently pranged a couple of weeks ago. Didn't find out until I rebooted a couple weeks later. Had to use Live DVD and pull old Feb 12 initrd.img-3.13.0-37-generic and named it initrd.img-3.13.0-37-0generic.20150517SAFE to reboot.
The initramfs-tools error persists but can install other packages OK. What is/was my malfunction? Thanks, Chris root apr01 # apt-get install initramfs-tools --reinstall Reading package lists...
