Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.107
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
initramfs-tools failed to configure in postinst stage because /usr/sbin/update-initramfs was not found.
There is, however, a executable /usr/sbin/update-initramfs.initramfs-tools.
The obvious workaround is
ln -s /usr/sbin/update-initramfs.initramfs-tools /usr/sbin/update-initramfs
and solves the problem.
Please consider that a failing initramfs-tools configuration leads to failing linux-image-* configurations, too.
So, I'd call it pretty severe, as it prevents the linux-images from being upgraded, possibly leaving security holes unfixed.
Sincerely,
Malte Dik

There is no /usr/sbin/update-initramfs.initramfs-tools. Maybe something
diverted them, like live-tools.
