Bug#429530: initramfs-tools postinstall calls mktemp which is not installed (missing dependency)
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.88
Severity: normal
After apt-get update/upgrade initramfs-tools failed in postinstall
when attempting to call "mktemp" which is not installed on the system.
Installing mktemp package and reconfiguring initramfs-tools solved
the problem.
This seems to be a missing dependency of the package.
