[Bug 1248053] Re: initrd.img symlink is absolute
A candidate fix is to pass the vmlinuz-3.11.0-12-generic (or whatever) filename into the test_relative() function for the 'Test File' parameter, when it's called for the non-existent initrd.img-* file, since the vmlinuz is guaranteed to be present. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248053 Title: initrd.img symlink is absolute To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1248053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1248053] Re: initrd.img symlink is absolute
apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected saucy staging ** Description changed: When the linux-image package is installed, it creates symlinks from the root directory: # ls -l / initrd.img - /boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-13-generic vmlinuz - boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-13-generic This is needed for booting the currently installed kernel (managed from within the distro for security updates etc) in certain environments, such as virtual hosts or root-NFS booting. - The bug is that the initrd.img symlink is absolute, since the - test_relative() perl function checks for the presence of the initrd.img - file, which is created after the postinst scripts runs, so it assumes a - absolute symlink is needed.

[Bug 1248053] Re: initrd.img symlink is absolute
@Daniel -- that 'V' view bug should be reported against apport, that is rather, sad. I think you are saying that if the file already exists then the linking code will emit a non-absolute link, if it is missing then an absolute one. I think this is born out by my system which clearly has a reinstalled kernel at the same version on it: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root32 Nov 4 18:45 initrd.img - boot/initrd.img-3.8.0-32-generic lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root33 Nov 4 18:45 initrd.img.old - /boot/initrd.img-3.8.0-32-generic The first one (.old) would have not had an initrd in place when linking the other would. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248053 Title: initrd.img symlink is absolute To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1248053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1248053] Re: initrd.img symlink is absolute
This actually occurs because test_relative() as used in the really_move_link() call will fail as the destination file actually does not exist, triggering a failure in that incantation. This also highlights we are going to incorrectly indicate that the link is dandling in the case of installing linux-image and linux-image-extra at the same time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248053 Title: initrd.img symlink is absolute To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1248053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
