Bug#972678: initramfs-tools: bad error message when zstd requested but not installed
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.139
Severity: minor
No gzip in /usr/bin:/sbin:/bin, using gzip
When COMPRESS=zstd is in the configuration file but zstd is not installed I get the above error.
It should say "No zstd"
