Package: initramfs-tools-core
Version: 0.130
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Context is that this is a minimally-installed chroot (minimally installed
with `debootstrap`)
containing stretch.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Attempted to use `apt-get` to install the following package list with
'--no-install-recommends' specified:
cryptsetup
firmware-bnx2
firmware-bnx2x
firmware-linux
grub-pc
linux-image-amd64
lvm2
openssh-server
sudo
* What was the outcome of this action?
During the `apt-get` processing of the above package list,
`update-initramfs` died with an error:
E: busybox or busybox-static, version 1:1.22.0-17~ or later, is required
but not installed.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected it to work -- if `update-initramfs` depends on busybox or
busybox-static in order to
complete successfully, then those packages should be a _dependency_, not a
_recommendation_!

The dependency on busybox is conditional on the configuration.
