Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.107
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

initramfs-tools failed to configure in postinst stage because /usr/sbin/update-initramfs was not found.
There is, however, a executable /usr/sbin/update-initramfs.initramfs-tools.

The obvious workaround is

ln -s /usr/sbin/update-initramfs.initramfs-tools /usr/sbin/update-initramfs

and solves the problem.

Please consider that a failing initramfs-tools configuration leads to failing linux-image-* configurations, too.

So, I'd call it pretty severe, as it prevents the linux-images from being upgraded, possibly leaving security holes unfixed.


Sincerely,

Malte Dik

This looks like the bug from live-tools:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=684423

This is not an initramfs-tools problem therefore as noted
by Bastian 'waldi' Blank already.
