   Version: 0.150   
   Severity: important

   Dear Maintainer,   
      
   first off: I think this issue is of severity serious, but I relay to   
   your judgment. Cause it also happens after I manually downgraded to:   
      
   - initramfs-tools_0.149_all.deb   
   - initramfs-tools-bin_0.149_amd64.deb   
   - initramfs-tools-core_0.149_all.deb   
      
   What happens?   
      
   % update-initramfs -k all -u   
   update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.18.8-t14g5   
   E: busybox or busybox-static is required but not installed   
   update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-6.18.8-t14g5 with 1.   
      
   Also happened already during upgrade to 0.150.   
      
   So far it seems that I can still boot, cause the old initramfs images are   
   still available. But it does not generate any new initramfs images   
   anymore.   
      
   Busybox is installed. First it was linked busybox, but now I switched to   
   busybox-static.   
      
   It is installed and working:   
      
   % which busybox   
   /usr/bin/busybox   
      
   % /usr/bin/busybox | head -2   
   BusyBox v1.37.0 (Debian 1:1.37.0-9) multi-call binary.   
   BusyBox is copyrighted by many authors between 1998-2015.   
      
   Path in shell for root user where I started update-initramfs manually   
   to verify the issue:   
      
   ~/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin   
      
   I even copied it to /usr/sbin just in case, but to no avail.   
      
   Recently I removed Debian kernel images, cause I use self-compiled   
   kernels. However even installing linux-image-amd64 again does not fix   
   the issue.   
      
   Other packages installed with todays update:   
      
   at-spi2-common             gir1.2-packagekitglib-1.0  libavahi-common3   
   at-spi2-core               git-debpush                libavahi-glib1   
   binutils                   libatk-bridge2.0-0t64      libbinutils   
   binutils-common            libatk1.0-0t64             libbrotli1   
   binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu  libatspi2.0-0t64           libbrotli1:i386   
   busybox                    libavahi-client3           libctf-nobfd0   
   gir1.2-atk-1.0             libavahi-common-data       libctf0   
      
   libdrm-amdgpu1   libindi-data      libpackagekit-glib2-18  unrelated   
   libdrm-common    libindiclient2    libsframe3              unrelated   
   libdrm-intel1    libinput-bin      libxdamage1             openvpn   
   libdrm-nouveau2  libinput10        libxkbcommon-x11-0      python3-brotli   
   libdrm-radeon1   libjs-underscore  libxkbcommon0           python3-tqdm   
   libdrm2          libnbd0           libxkbregistry0         x11proto-dev   
   libgprofng0      libostree-1-1     unrelated   
      
   I likely will not have much time, if any, to do additional research this   
   or next week. If downgrading any other package can help to restore   
   functionality, please advice.   
      
   Best regards,   
   Martin
