Re: Bug#524534: initramfs-tools: returns error when attempting to remove an already removed initrd
Hi, This problem exists because any posrtrm script is called twice when purging a package; first, to remove it, and second, to purge it. kernel-package passes along the maintainer scripts in the standard format proposed by Frans Pop, and the example scripts take care to only try to remove the initrd images in the remove phase. I do not know enough of the upstram make deb-pkg to know ig the patches Frans had were ever accepted into the mainline kernel (since that would enable looking at the maintainer script arguments from dpkg). In any case, this postinst script should probably ignore errors caused by trying to remove the initramfs metadata. manoj -- This login session: $13.76, but for you $11.88.
