Package: extlinux
Version: 2:4.05+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Upgrade of extlinux fails if the system works on AUFS and upgrade is being done
in an environment chrooted to the underlying real (persistent) filesystem. This
is because extlinux.postinst uses df to determine which block device contains
the /boot/extlinux directory. Df returns "aufs", while findmnt finds the block
device correctly. I propose a patch to use findmnt (from mount package).
There is a patch for findmnt being implemented upstream[1] which will simplify
the postinst script. It will then look like the df version now (no path
chopping). But it's going to need some time before it gets to Debian.
