Whenever I update my packages on my Ubuntu 20.04 Server installation with sudo apt-get upgrade or install a new package with sudo apt-get install, I get notified that there are 2 packages not fully installed. However, everytime I try to install them, once it starts running the update-initramfs tool, it encounters a segmentation fault.

I have tried sudo apt autoremove, but I still get the same error. It doesn't seem to affect my system more than just adding a good 20 seconds to any install of packages. What can I do to resolve this issue, and is it important?
