Bug#776623: dpkg-reconfigure leaves initramfs-tools in broken 't' state (dpkg)



Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.118
Severity: normal

I just set up a new jessie system and ran dpkg-reconfigure -a -u¹.

This did some stuff to grub-pc (I think) and then left
initramfs-tools broken:

  […]
  update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
  Installing for i386-pc platform.
  File descriptor 3 (pipe:[3115275]) leaked on vgs invocation. Parent PID 9176: grub-install

  # dpkg -l initramfs-tools
  it  initramfs-tools      0.116           all             generic modular initramfs generator


I am failing to reproduce this now, but I'll keep posting news as I find them.


¹) well, since -a was dropped:

     dpkg --get-selections | sed -rne 's,([^[:space:]]+)[[:space:]]+install$,\1,p' \
       | xargs dpkg-reconfigure -u
