Package: initramfs-tools-core Version: 0.135 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When unmkinitramfs is used on prepended initramfs images, such as the initrd.img-5.3.0-2-amd64 generated by the linux-image-5.3.0-2-amd64 package, the symlink at main/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 is broken. This seems to be a result of the use of the "--no-absolute-filenames" flag with cpio. If I remove this flag and run unmkinitramfs again, the symlink to the linker is intact, and it's possible to chroot into the extracted initramfs image and run binaries in main/bin . I don't know if it's the intention of unmkinitramfs to create functional binaries in the extracted images, but it's very helpful in my use case! Thanks for your assistance. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.3.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IE:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages initramfs-tools-core depends on: ii coreutils 8.30-3+b1 ii cpio 2.13+dfsg-1 ii e2fsprogs 1.45.4-1 ii klibc-utils 2.0.7-1 ii kmod 26-3 ii logsave 1.45.4-1 ii udev 244-3 Versions of packages initramfs-tools-core recommends: ii busybox 1:1.30.1-4 ii pigz 2.4-1+b1 Versions of packages initramfs-tools-core suggests: ii bash-completion 1:2.9-1 -- no debconf information
