Error building initramfs

MNT Pocket Reform
1

Hi all,

not Pocket-specific but maybe due to sid/unstable on aarch64:

After apt upgrade I can’t build initramfs because of “missing busybox-static” - although it’s installed and working:

Trigger für initramfs-tools (0.150) werden verarbeitet …
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.18.5-mnt-reform-arm64
E: busybox or busybox-static is required but not installed
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-6.18.5-mnt-reform-arm64 with 1.
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten des Paketes initramfs-tools (–configure):
»altes postinst-Betreuerskript des Paketes initramfs-tools«-Unterprozess mit Exit-Status 1 fehlgeschlagen
Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
initramfs-tools
Fehler: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The Pocket is still booting, so it’s not leathal. Do you have an idea on how to fix it? Or should I just wait :slight_smile:

Error message after apt update && upgrade

Possibly same or related phenomenon on both classic and pocket: Error message after apt update && upgrade

That looks like this bug: I Challenge Thee

But that one should be fixed already. Which version of busybox do you have right now?

BusyBox v1.37.0 (Debian 1:1.37.0-9)

After upgrade it changed to BusyBox v1.37.0 (Debian 1:1.37.0-10) and the bug is fixed.

Thx

Claus
