Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.130
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

initramfs-tools-core recommends busybox, but it appears to be required.
I got this with an update after it was removed:
  
  Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.130) ...
  update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-3-amd64
  E: busybox or busybox-static, version 1:1.22.0-17~ or later, is required but not installed
  update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-3-amd64 with 1.
  dpkg: error processing package initramfs-tools (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   initramfs-tools
