Hello everyone.
In Debian sid, aptitude full-upgrade leads to this error:

    Setting up initramfs-tools (0.150)…
    update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
    Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.150)…
    update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.18.5+deb14-amd64
    E: busybox or busybox-static is required but not installed

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?
