Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.91e
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Attempting to run update-initramfs is giving me the following result:
snowball:552$ sudo update-initramfs -u 2.6.22-3-k7
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-3-k7
awk: /^md/2/{print substr($5, 1, 3)}
awk: ^ syntax error
The resulting initrd image apears to be corrupt -- at any rate, my
kernel panicked shortly after trying to mount it.

that was what i was wondering about, with current initramfs-tools
your mentioned error shouldn't be seen - marked above fixed version.
closing as fixed.
