Bug#429530: initramfs-tools postinstall calls mktemp which is not installed (missing dependency)

2007-06-18 Thread Holger Berger 
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.88
Severity: normal

After apt-get update/upgrade initramfs-tools failed in postinstall
when attempting to call mktemp which is not installed on the system.
Installing mktemp package and reconfiguring initramfs-tools solved
the problem.
This seems to be a missing dependency of the package.

There is something unusual on your system, because all the required packages
must be installed.

Installing mktemp package and reconfiguring initramfs-tools solved

the problem.
This seems to be a missing dependency of the package.



There is no need for a dependency because the package 'mktemp' has the
'required' priority.

Incorrect. Only essential packages needs to be installed.

It is essential.
