Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.140 When run as a non-root user, such as when installing a package which triggers this post install to a different root, the post install will fail. This is in part due to update-initramfs needing privileges to succeed. The simple fix would be to exit the script early if not run as root. The proper fix involves respecting PKG_ROOT, which probably would require an update to update-initramfs to allow specifying an alternate fs root. Unfortunately, chroot can't be used here because it also requires privileges.
