Thanks for the output.

The error is
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
lzma: Cannot allocate memory

I'm reaffecting to initramfs-tools but this can as well be a problem with lzma.
I noticed that there is no swap space available. Assuming it is a out of memory issue, are you able to setup a swap space on another usb disk and see if it occurs again ?

affects:	fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) → initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
summary:	- package fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess - installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 + update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) / lzma: Cannot + allocate memory
