Bug#462872: initramfs-tools: install/update on hppa fails during post-installation with exit status 133"
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.91d
Severity: important
Hello,
I experience problems after an apt-get dist-upgrade of my hppa machine
with the initramfs-tools package, and I did not find anything in the
BTS concerning this problem. I got the following error:
--8<------------------------------
$ sudo apt-get install initramfs-tools

initramfs-tools is already the newest version.

required:

--8<------------------------------
Innitially, only the initramfs-tools package returned an error and i
tried to install the new kernel only later. I had a look in the
/var/lib/dpkg/info/initramfs-tools.postinst file, and I excecuted the
"update-initramfs -u" by hand, and that gave no error...
Let me know if you require further information.
