This hangs, without completing.
From /var/log/apt/history..log :

Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.136) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.4.2-2-pinebookpro-arm64
I have to kill this and clear the dpkg lockfiles, but a 'dpkg --configure -a' continues hanging at the same point. Yes, there's plenty of free space on /boot, and it's mounted rw.
Could this be because it's mixing armhf binaries with a arm64 kernel? Seems unlikely - but your own original is all arm64-native, so I wonder...
Are there suggested fixes, if I need a 64-bit cryptsetup-initramfs?
I don't think so. I was using debian sid armhf for a while to test and didn't have this issue. I recall rebuilding initrd a few times.
I didn't encounter any considerable issue, I was just ready to test arm64 userspace and haven't had any issues there either to change back.
