--- Begin Message ---Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.93.4 Severity: normal mkinitramfs needs mktemp, but initramfs-tools doesn't have a dependency on mktemp or coreutils >=7.4-1. mktemp is no longer a "Priority: required" package.

There is no way to get into this situation during an *upgrade* as both mktemp and coreutils are essential. And explicit dependencies on essential packages are not allowed.
