to use a rescue disk and chroot etc...

Innitially, only the initramfs-tools package returned an error and i
tried to install the new kernel only later. I had a look in the
/var/lib/dpkg/info/initramfs-tools.postinst file, and I excecuted the
"update-initramfs -u" by hand, and that gave no error...
this makes it more mysterious, this file is really abysmall.
and really does not more then this.
i'll leave that open for now in case someone else can reproduce.
so now initramfs-tools is installed and aboves is not reproducable?
nope, it is installed, but not correctly, each time i install something
it reconfigures:
