After an apt-get upgrade today, I wasn't able to boot anymore, lvm
complains that can't find libncurses.so.5, and it's right, the only
libncurses.so.5 file in initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64 is in
/32bit/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5.
I solved by patching initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64 with a symlink to the
proper path: /lib. That's the second time it happens after an upgrade.
I don't have records of the first one.
Here's the culprit (from /var/log/apt/history.log):

What version of initramfs-tools? You'll need to trace the execution of
update-initramfs and figure out why it picks up that version of ncurses.
Cheers,

Thanks for the reply.
`apt-cache show initramfs-tools` says version 0.98.8
I tried to run `update-initramfs -v -t -u -k 2.6.32-5-amd64` and I noticed:
where `/32bit/` is a chroot I've created some time ago, well I assume
that's the culprit but can't figure out of how it can mess
`initrd.img`. It's worth to mention that I've added a file to
`/etc/ld.so.conf.d/` with:
