[Bug 984688] Re: initramfs-tools depends on initramfs-tools-bin (<< 0.99ubuntu11.1~)

[Steve Langasek]

This error indicates you were trying to update at a time when the
initramfs-tools package had not been built on all architectures.  In
later development releases, this is no longer an issue because packages
are now published to the devel pocket only after they've been built on
all architectures; so closing this report as invalid.

** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid
