Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.123
Upgrading initramfs-tools creates non working initrds if you don't upgrade
coreutils;
Adding config /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
Adding binary-link /sbin/modprobe
ln: invalid option -- 'r'
Try `ln --help' for more information.
Adding binary /bin/kmod
Adding library-link /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
(...)
Fix was:
Unpacking coreutils (8.24-1) over (8.13-3) ...
But initramfs-tools should have a dependency on the minimal coreutils it
needs to avoid such issues.
Thanks,
Marc

You must upgrade fully to stable before installing anything from
unstable. There is no requirement in policy to add versioned
dependencies in unstable when the minimum version is less than that in
stable.
