Package: debirf
Severity: normal
Version: 0.37
Dear Maintainer,
when I tried building an initrd based upon stretch + stretch-backports,
I noticed that the wrong kernel had been selected: From the apt sources
and preferences I had configured to be used inside the chroot, I would
have expected the kernel from stretch-backports
(linux-image-4.17.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 at the time) to be installed; instead
I got the version from stretch (linux-image-4.9.0-7-amd64).
It turns out that linux-image-* package selection in the default
install-kernel module is fragile if multiple kernel versions are
available because "sort -r" will not always select the newest version.
Please consider my patch that uses apt to determine the version. This
has the added benefit that any a preferences that have been configured
are honored.
Thanks.
Cheers,
-Hilko
