Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.52b Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
I have both initramfs-tools and yaird installed on my system. Yaird is explicitly defined as the default to use in /etc/kernel-img.conf. Updating to initramfs-tools an hour ago my yaird-generated initrd image was silently overwritten with an image generated by initramfs-tools. That's BAD! I believe the best long-term solution to this is for a separately packaged kernel-install-helper tool to be considered the owner of initrd images, instead of each ramdisk-generator trying to be smart about them. I believe best approach to a kernel-install-helper is for Manoj to find time to move the kernel-package maintainer scripts out into such tool. Until then I see no sane way of non-interactively replacing initrd images not created by same package. - Jonas -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-powerpc Locale: LANG=da_DK, LC_CTYPE=da_DK (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii busybox 1:1.01-4 Tiny utilities for small and embed ii cpio 2.6-10 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii klibc-utils 1.2.2-3 small statically-linked utilities ii udev 0.084-5 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo initramfs-tools recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
