Package: busybox
Version: 1:1.27.2-3
Severity: important
Hi,
Since a few days ago I am getting:
$ sudo update-initramfs -u -k all -v
Available versions: 4.18.0-2-amd64
Execute: /usr/sbin/update-initramfs -u -k "4.18.0-2-amd64" -b /boot -v

Removing /boot/initrd.img-4.18.0-2-amd64.dpkg-bak
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-4.18.0-2-amd64 with 1.
Adding a few debugging statements shows that:
/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_mSMoqa/usr/bin/busybox -> busybox
If it helps:
$ ls -l /usr/bin | grep busybox
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 654,048 2018-07-13 05:19 busybox
$ ls -l /bin | grep busybox
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2018-11-26 17:23 busybox -> /usr/bin/busybox
Any ideas? Sounds very usrmerge related... Setting severity to
"important" as I'm a little worried to reboot. :)
Best wishes,
