No this is not about uptime at all. The uptime diversion is a different bug. What happens here is the following: - The version of live-tools in wheezy does not depend on initramfs-tools, but calls the original version of update-initramfs (diverted) without checking it's actually there. This is the underlying bug. This is bug #729810, fixed in jessie by adding the correct dependency. - On upgrade initramfs-tools is pulled in as a new dependency of live-tools. But util-linux is configured before live-tools and initramfs-tools are even unpacked. This is completely valid as util-linux does not depend on either of them and checks before calling update-initramfs if it exists. - The util-linux postinst no calls update-initramfs from the old version of live-tools. This version of update-initramfs is broken and thus the postinst fails. Voilà. In theory the best solution would be to add a Breaks: util-linux (correct version) to live-tools in wheezy, but that's not practical. So the second best option is probably to add a Breaks as suggested to util-linux. I'll prepare a patch for this now. Gaudenz
