Mkosi's own dracut hook, which is triggered from `dpkg -i`, calls `dpkg-reconfigure` causing dpkg frontend lock conflict. But `initrd.img` is generated correctly. Workaround by ignoring `dpkg-reconfigure` errors in the hook. dpkg: error: dpkg frontend lock was locked by another process with pid 5 Note: removing the lock file is always wrong, can damage the locked area and the entire system.

Description
I did not investigate thoroughly all internal workings of
dpkg -i/dpkg-reconfigureand what is changed since last week in Ubuntu (old action logs are not enough to clarify this.)How Has This Been Tested?
Locally.
