Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.150 Followup-For: Bug #1126841 I'm experiencing the same. busybox-static 1:1.37.0-9 is installed and in path. I also see that busybox|busybox-static is only Recommended in initramfs-tools-core, but this error makes it imply that it should be a Depends. -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -rw-r--r-- 1
