Description

Hi,

Ive just issued 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade', and it failed badly with:

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.14.0-3-amd64
E: busybox or busybox-static, version 1:1.22.0-17~ or later, is required but not installed
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-4.14.0-3-amd64 with 1.

To fix it I had to manually install busybox-initramfs.

Thx.

Hmm, which version of initramfs-tools-core do you have? That one should have pulled in busybox-initramfs and is default-installed on every PureOS installation (should be >= 0.130pureos2).
Please reopen this issue if you encounter the problem again, or are still having it. Also ensure that you are not accidentally on the landing suite of PureOS, because that's where there was a short time where the necessary dependency on busybox-initramfs didn't exist.

By then I had initramfs-tools-core=0.130 0.130pureos1 installed. Then just after I've manually installed busybox-initramfs, initramfs-tools-core upgraded to 0.130pureos1 0.130pureos2.
