Package: flash-kernel Version: 3.104 Severity: normal I have some image building scripts that installed flash-kernel in a chroot (on unrelated hardware; user mode qemu), then configured /etc/flash-kernel/machine, then ran flash-kernel. That used to work (in 2018), and now fails: Creating config file /etc/default/flash-kernel with new version Setting up flash-kernel (3.104) ... Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.32-4) ... Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.140) ... Warning: root device does not exist Unsupported platform ''. run-parts: /etc/initramfs/post-update.d//flash-kernel exited with return code 1 dpkg: error processing package initramfs-tools (--configure): installed initramfs-tools package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: initramfs-tools This left initramfs-tools half-configured, and apt-get install flash-kernel exited nonzero. It seems unreasonable for installing the flash-kernel package to leave the system in this state when a file that is only documented in that package does not exist before the package is installed. Also "Unsupported platform ''" is not the best error message. -- see shy jo
