Package: flash-kernel Version: flash-kernel Followup-For: Bug #1148115 X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected] User: [email protected] Usertags: armhf
Dear Maintainer, I can confirm this bug on a Cubietruck 3 (Allwinner A20, armhf) running Debian 13 Trixie with a kernel from trixie-backports. **Affected packages:** - flash-kernel 3.110~bpo13+1 - linux-image-7.2.11+deb13-armmp-lpae 7.2.11-1~bpo13+1 - initramfs-tools 0.148.4 During kernel installation, flash-kernel failed with: ``` dpkg-query: no packages found matching run-parts: /etc/initramfs/post-update.d//flash-kernel exited with return code 1 ``` The problem originates in `get_kernel_status()` in `/usr/share/flash-kernel/functions`. The function uses `dpkg-query --search` to identify the package owning `/boot/vmlinuz-$version`. With the new split kernel packaging, this file is no longer owned by a package. Instead, `linux-binary-7.2.11+deb13-armmp-lpae` provides the kernel binary at: ``` /usr/lib/modules/7.2.11+deb13-armmp-lpae/vmlinuz ``` I implemented a local workaround in `get_kernel_status()` that retains the existing package lookup and falls back to `/usr/lib/modules/$ver/vmlinuz` if the first lookup returns no package. **Results:** - `flash-kernel` completed successfully. - `dpkg --configure -a` completed without errors. - Both `flash-kernel` and `initramfs-tools` are fully configured. - The regenerated `boot.scr` successfully booted Linux 7.2.11 on the Cubietruck. The running kernel is now: ``` Linux cubie 7.2.11+deb13-armmp-lpae #1 SMP Debian 7.2.11-1~bpo13+1 (2026-10-18) armv7l GNU/Linux ``` This confirms that the fallback lookup resolves the installation failure and that the resulting kernel boots successfully on real armhf hardware. -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.7 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: armhf (armv7l) Kernel: Linux 7.2.11+deb13-armmp-lpae (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_CRAP Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
