Package: module-init-tools
Version: 3.10-3
Severity: important
Hello:
On latest changes on the package, the /etc/modprobe.d/arch directory seems to
have been removed. There is also a file inside /etc/modprobe.d/ dir named
arch-aliases.conf which I think has been renamed from arch-aliases. (I got
there from the preinst script, I may be wrong)
That file is currently a dangling symlink pointing to arch/x86_64
ll /etc/modprobe.d/arch-aliases.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 mar 4 19:51 /etc/modprobe.d/arch-aliases.conf ->
arch/x86_64
Since the directory doesn't exist, update-initramfs fails:
LANG=C update-initramfs -c -t -k 2.6.30-toi3 -b /boot/
update-initramfs: Generating /boot//initrd.img-2.6.30-toi3
cryptsetup: WARNING: found more than one resume device candidate:
/dev/mapper/portaka-swap
swap:/dev/mapper/portaka-swap
cpio: ./etc/modprobe.d/arch-aliases.conf: Cannot stat: No such file or
directory
update-initramfs: failed for /boot//initrd.img-2.6.30-toi3
Manually removing the file solves the situation, but I think that should be done
automatically.
Regards,

The problem is that you renamed it, not module-init-tools: there is no
trace of the string "arch-aliases.conf" in the older packages.
