Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.115 Severity: critical Tags: upstream Justification: breaks the whole system Dear Maintainer, When I try to purge iniramfs-tools in jessie/sid, it also removes all installed kernels without standard warnings (like sysvinit): ------------------- sudo aptitude purge initramfs-tools Les paquets suivants seront ENLEVÉS : initramfs-tools{p} [0.115] 0 paquets mis à jour, 0 nouvellement installés, 1 à enlever et 0 non mis à jour. Il est nécessaire de télécharger 0 o d'archives. Après dépaquetage, 334 ko seront libérés. Les paquets suivants ont des dépendances non satisfaites : linux-image-3.12-1-686-pae : Dépend: initramfs-tools (>= 0.110~) mais il ne sera pas installé. ou linux-initramfs-tool qui est un paquet virtuel Les actions suivantes permettront de résoudre ces dépendances : Supprimer les paquets suivants : 1) linux-image-3.12-1-686-pae 2) linux-image-686-pae Accepter cette solution ? [Y/n/q/?] y Les paquets suivants seront ENLEVÉS : initramfs-tools{p} [0.115] libuuid-perl{u} [0.05-1] linux-base{u} [3.5] linux-image-3.12-1-686-pae{a} [3.12.9-1] linux-image-686-pae{a} [3.12+55] 0 paquets mis à jour, 0 nouvellement installés, 5 à enlever et 0 non mis à jour. Il est nécessaire de télécharger 0 o d'archives. Après dépaquetage, 108 Mo seront libérés. Voulez-vous continuer ? [Y/n/?] n ------------------- I think that is very dangerous for "simple users" - after deleting "strange packages" their systems fails to boot.

But no single kernel package is essential, nor is it necessary to have *any* kernel package installed inside a chroot, container or certain virtual machine configurations. Neither is initramfs-tools essential, since you can also use dracut (or a custom kernel with no initramfs). You will have seen a warning that you're about to remove the running kernel, with the default response being to abort the removal. If you went ahead, that is your mistake and not a bug.
