Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.97
Severity: normal
If a portion an existing (but older) initrd image is non-numeric like 'trunk'
in the example below exists in the /boot directory, the default image will be
built for that kernel and not the actual most recent one. (-5 in the examle).
It wouldn't be much of a problem except most of the install scripts depend on
-u reliably identifying the correct version to update without using the -k
option.
ls -lh /boot/initrd.* :
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.4M Apr 19 2009 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-amd64
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11M Dec 23 2009 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.9M Apr 19 2009 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64.bak

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11M Jun 29 22:56 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-trunk-amd64
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M Dec 23 2009 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-trunk-
amd64.bak
The -5 image shows a current date because I corrected the problem using the -k
option before starting this report.
(apparently -trunk was a left over kernel from sid I was trying out a few
months ago - it's not a name I would personally have chosen)
Thanks

this has already been overdiscussed. no we won't enhance the sorting
algorythm. it is meant to be quick and simple.
just deinstall trunk it was a mistake to have it in testing and
won't happen again. trunk is totaly out of age and unsuported.
just nuke it. thus closing.
