Public bug reported:
While upgrading my Raspberry Pi 4B last night from 24.04 to 26.04 (`do-
release-upgrade -m server`), the upgrade ended with this error.
The upgrade proceeded fine otherwise.
RPi 4B is listed as supported, as far as I know.
I updated EEPROM before beginning the upgrade.
update-initramfs succeeds after manually installing `piboot-try`, and
that clears the error.
