I would file two bugs, one for busybox not supporting the new syntax and another for initramfs-tools using the old syntax with a mount binary that doesn't like it. In both cases, reference the other bug so that people can see the situation. But I would get the bugs filed, even if it's not clear where it should be fixed, since that will hopefully start the process of converging on a good solution. > I do not want to bother other packages till someone repeat my debugging > process in order to make work a vanilla Ubuntu 8.10 fai package to > server Ubuntu 8.10 to the install clients. That's laudable but I think too conservative in practice. Bugs don't hurt anything, and I think you've been quite thorough. You've certainly done way more testing and research than go into most bug reports. I'd like to duplicate your work, but unfortunately I don't have the time to do so just at the moment. I may be able to find the time over the next few weeks, but the more people who are aware of the issues, the better. > If you think that FAI-only developers as the ones who might be > subscribed to this mailing list are not enough/sufficient to track the > problem, well, we can discuss asking the other packages' developers. I think it's fairly clear from your messages and analysis that there are problems here that can't be fixed in FAI itself, which means that the developers of the other packages will need to be involved sooner or later. > And let's not forget my ldconfig.real call, in my opinnion it is a > bug,... but someone will have to track which mount call does the bad > job, if it is a dinamic mount (What's the dinamic mount's package ) or > an static mount (busybox). Or is it maybe a ld bug? As I recall, this was the problem that the ld.so.cache file was out of date and hence the system wasn't seeing newly available shared libraries? Or am I misunderstanding the problem? -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
