Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.87b Severity: critical Tags: patch Justification: make any xen system unbootable
Latest glibc package moved optimized libraries from /lib/tls/i686 to
/lib/i686, so the copy_exec function's euristic fails to translate it
to a non optimized version.
With libc6-i686 installed the resulting image is still working because
the installed libraries are on search path, but with libc6-xen
installed the resulting image is unbootable because some libraries
required by busybox are in /lib/i686/nosegneg instead of /lib
The attached patch solves the problem on my system, but a more robust
solution is auspicable.
Regards
