Bug#532049: readlink error in mkinitramfs-kpkg
Hi,
hits me too. This is what happened when I updated to 5.0.2:
[smc@oberon][~]% LANG=C sudo aptitude -y safe-upgrade

(Okay, actually this is not what happened when updating to 5.0.2…
everything else installed fine, but linux-image-2.6.26-2-ixp4xx is
reproducibly stuck, as can be seen here.)
This is _very_ annoying as I don't know if I could successfully reboot
my NSLU2 at the moment…
Greetings,
