Hello everyone. In Debian sid, aptitude full-upgrade leads to this error:
Setting up initramfs-tools (0.150)…
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)

I understand the issue is that initramfs-tools.postinst couldn't run
update-initramfs -u due to missing busybox.
busybox is installed and was updated from 1:1.37.0-7 to 1:1.37.0-9 by
the same command that raised the error.
Can anyone help me to understand what's going on and how I can fix it? Also, how bad is the error for my system? -- Ceppo https://wiki.debian.org/Ceppo Please, encrypt our messages with the key at the link above and send me yours.
