You could look at   dpkg -l   or   apt-get check
and see whether the problem lies with just the one package.

If there are several, you could try    dpkg --configure
one by one rather than en masse.

You could try reinstalling initramfs-tools with   dpkg -i
(might need force as it's partly done).

One of the configuration steps is    update-initramfs -u
so it might be worth checking if there's a damaged
initrd.img that's causing it to stall.

Cheers,
David.
