I thought the problem may be related to linux-headers-4.16.0-2-amd64 
wasn't installed. This causes a problem setting up 
linux-image-4.16.0-2-amd64. However, after installing the headers, I'm 
still getting the same problem.

I also removed the various memtest86 packages since I don't really need 
them. Unfortunately the initramfs build still gets stuck.

Next I tried removing old kernel crud from /boot since apt seemed to be 
processing it when running the update-initramfs. Apt remove followed by 
a manual rm of the old files left me with just files related to the 4.16 
kernels.

I even tried rebooting to see if that cleared up the problem. It didn't. 
I did notice however that I had the old grub options, which is expected 
since the update-grub command probably never executed.

Any ideas?

---------

Spoke too soon. After the reboot, the dpkg --configure -a did finally 
complete. It took a couple of minutes but it did finally returned to the 
command prompt.
