Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.101
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
When I install dracut - which conflicts to initramfs-tools -
initramfs-tools will be removed. But when doing a dpkg-reconfigure the
script /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools is still executed, which
lead to following error:
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools: 33:
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools: update-initramfs: not found
Here's an easy patch for this:
