Running # apt-get dist-upgrade produced the following warnings/errors:
WARNING: missing /lib/modules/uname
depmod: ERROR: Bad version passed uname (2 times)
dpkg: warning: version 'uname' has bad syntax: version number does not start with digit (4 times)
Everything happened in the dist-upgrade step right after Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.130ubuntu3.8) ... was printed out, so I guess it has something to do with that...
Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong and how I can fix it? Thanks!

uname -a?uname -r-c" manually afterwards and it worked like expected (no warnings or errors reported)unameoutput that’s wrong, it’s that something is using “uname” as a version number.unameis used instead ofuname -rin the course ofapt-get dist-upgrade. This is why I referred to "Processing triggers for initramfs-tools": the next line seems completely wrong:update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-uname. There should be a version string instead of just "uname" I strongly guess. Can anyone shed some light on what are the "triggers" (scripts?) for initramfs-tools?
