To update the firmware? Besides, shouldn't i be able to, or have one that can be like it used to?

I did this as advised on an askubuntu page;
:~$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/initramfs-tools/
:~$ sudo dpkg --force-depends --purge initramfs-tools
:-$ sudo apt-get install initramfs-tools
Now on reboot
; :~$ sudo update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: /boot/initrd.img-4.2.0 has been altered.
update-initramfs: Cannot update. Override with -t option.
I hope i will not be grudged a solution because i've no idea what i am doing or because you find my justification for updating initramfs or initrd "frivolous".

Truly contrite, i only read your question, missed the link above completely. need new glasses..among other things.
In the end, the solution turned out to be quite trivial;
:~# update-initramfs -u -t
:~# update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.2.0
:~#
