Bug#829280: initramfs-tools: "cannot stat '/etc/modprobe.d/*'" warning from empty /etc/modprobe.d/

2016-07-01 Thread Christoph Biedl 
Source: initramfs-tools
Version: Warning upon empty /etc/modprobe.d/
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

when /etc/modprobe.d/ exists but is empty, update-initramfs issues
a warning:

| # update-initramfs  -k all -u
| update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.6.0-1-amd64
| cp: cannot stat '/etc/modprobe.d/*': No such file or directory

Besides cosmetical issues I wonder what happens if there are files that
just are a reminder of dpkg conffile handling, like e.g.

/etc/modprobe.d/pptpd.conf.dpkg-remove

since appearently update-initramfs happily processes them. Which is
probably not the right thing to do.

Christoph

The machine from the original report has been working stable for
a while now, so I confirm this is probably fixed in wheezy kernels:
linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 version 3.2.78-1 running at the moment.
