This means...?
Do you have initrd-tools installed?
dpkg -l|grep initrd-tools
Hmm, I updated it via apt-get upgrade, and it seemed to work, but now I think it has a dpkg prob?

It's the same exact error you posted first. Did you install initrd-tools?
Oh, it is the same error...
Yes, I have initrd-tools installed (according to apt-get).
seems to be fixing the problem. well actually i did the same with kernel image, but i think only initrd-tools makes the differenceCode:apt-get remove initrd-tools ; dpkg -P initrd-tools ; apt-get install initrd-tools
Thanks much; these commands saved me much frustration in dealing with the "mkext2fs: command not found" error when apt-get'ting a new kernel. Didn't know about the dpkg -P option, or that such a thing might be handy.Code:apt-get remove initrd-tools ; dpkg -P initrd-tools ; apt-get install initrd-tools
