[Bug 524448] [NEW] [lucid] initramfs-tools should depend on awk

[steven_shiau]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

Two days ago I had an issue when using cdebootstrap to bootstrap lucid. To solve this, I guess that the package initramfs-tools on Lucid should depend on awk (and maybe some more else), otherwise when running cdebootstrap, it will fail in:
==========
O: Selecting previously deselected package initramfs-tools.
O: Unpacking initramfs-tools (from .../initramfs-tools_0.92bubuntu65_all.deb) ...
P: Unpacking package initramfs-tools
D: Updating initramfs-tools to status 2
O: /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: 59:
O: awk: not found
O:
O: /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: 59:
O: awk: not found
O:

O:  subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 127
==========
lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS
Release:        8.04

LANG=C apt-cache policy cdebootstrap
cdebootstrap:
  Installed: 0.5.5ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.5.5ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.5.5ubuntu1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

How to reproduce:
1. On Ubuntu system, install cdebootstrap 0.5.5ubuntu1
2. Append the following in /usr/share/cdebootstrap/suites:
     ============
Suite: lucid
Config: generic-ubuntu
Keyring: ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg
     ============
3. Run:
   LANG=C cdebootstrap --verbose --debug --arch=i386 --flavour=minimal lucid lucid-chroot http://tw.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

BTW, about 3 days ago I could successfully cdebootstrap lucid on the
same environment with same command.

The results are attached.
