Title:
  initramfs-tools 0.142ubuntu12 fails on upgrade: wrong multiarch libdir
  Edit

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  I just upgraded my system from Lunar to Mantic. initramfs is
  systematically producing messages such as:

    E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/dhcpcd failed with return 1.

  Looking into the corresponding bash script shows that the penultimate
  line produces an incorrect result:

    multiarch_dir=$(ldd /usr/sbin/dhcpcd | awk '/libc.so./ { print $3 }'
  | cut -f3 -d/)

  stores "lib" instead of x86_64-linux-gnu in my case.

  the correct line (tested) should be:

    multiarch_dir=$(ldd /usr/sbin/dhcpcd | awk '/libc.so./ { print $3 }'
  | cut -f4 -d/)

  
  since ldd produces 

          libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
