Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.85h Severity: important mkinitramfs (called by update-initramfs, called in postinst) does not work properly if the config files to be included in the initramfs are symlinks:

Since I didn't find anything about udev in /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs, I don't know how to proceed further to fix this bug. -- Package-specific info: -- /proc/cmdline root=/dev/md2 ro console=ttyS0,115200 TERM=vt100 -- /proc/filesystems cramfs ext3 ext2 -- lsmod Module Size Used by sha256 11104 0 aes 28160 4 dm_crypt 10888 1 nfs 202828 0 nfsd 197936 17 exportfs 5600 1 nfsd lockd 54344 3 nfs,nfsd nfs_acl 3584 2 nfs,nfsd sunrpc 138812 13 nfs,nfsd,lockd,nfs_acl button 6672 0 ac 5188 0 battery 9636 0 iptable_mangle 2880 0 ipt_MASQUERADE 3712 1 iptable_nat 7044 1 ip_nat 16876 2 ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat ip_conntrack 49088 3 ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat,ip_nat nfnetlink 6680 2 ip_nat,ip_conntrack ipt_LOG 6112 1 xt_limit 2752 1 ipt_REJECT 5248 2 ipt_TCPMSS 4096 1 xt_tcpudp 3136 18 iptable_filter 3104 1 ip_tables 13028 3 iptable_mangle,iptable_nat,iptable_filter x_tables 13316 8 ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat,ipt_LOG,xt_limit,ipt_REJECT,ipt_TCPMSS,xt_tcpudp,ip_tables ipv6 226016 26 bridge 49404 0 tun 10336 0 ext2 59048 2 loop 15048 0 snd_via82xx 26008 0 gameport 14632 1 snd_via82xx snd_ac97_codec 83104 1 snd_via82xx snd_ac97_bus 2400 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm 68676 2 snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 20996 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 9640 2 snd_via82xx,snd_pcm snd_mpu401_uart 8064 1 snd_via82xx snd_rawmidi 22560 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 7820 1 snd_rawmidi pcmcia 34140 0 firmware_class 9600 1 pcmcia snd 47012 7 snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device evdev 9088 0 via82cxxx_audio 24296 0 uart401 11172 1 via82cxxx_audio sound 69768 2 via82cxxx_audio,uart401 soundcore 9248 3 snd,via82cxxx_audio,sound ac97_codec 17196 1 via82cxxx_audio parport_pc 32132 0 floppy 53156 0 parport 33256 1 parport_pc pcspkr 3072 0 yenta_socket 24460 1 rsrc_nonstatic 11840 1 yenta_socket rtc 12372 0 hisax_fcpcipnp 11392 0 hisax_isac 8116 1 hisax_fcpcipnp hisax 413248 2 hisax_fcpcipnp,hisax_isac psmouse 35016 0 serio_raw 6660 0 isdn 120608 1 hisax slhc 6528 1 isdn via_ircc 23188 0 irda 162588 1 via_ircc crc_ccitt 2240 2 hisax,irda i2c_viapro 8244 0 i2c_core 19680 1 i2c_viapro shpchp 33024 0 pci_hotplug 28704 1 shpchp via_agp 9664 1 agpgart 29896 1 via_agp pcmcia_core 36852 3 pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic ext3 119240 10 jbd 52456 1 ext3 mbcache 8356 2 ext2,ext3 dm_mirror 19152 0 dm_snapshot 15552 0 dm_mod 50232 31 dm_crypt,dm_mirror,dm_snapshot raid1 21056 4 md_mod 70388 5 raid1 ide_generic 1408 0 [permanent] ide_cd 36064 0 cdrom 32544 1 ide_cd ide_disk 14848 5 generic 5476 0 [permanent] sd_mod 19040 6 via82cxxx 8388 0 [permanent] ide_core 110504 5 ide_generic,ide_cd,ide_disk,generic,via82cxxx via_rhine 22664 0 mii 5344 1 via_rhine ehci_hcd 28136 0 uhci_hcd 21164 0 sata_sil 11464 5 usbcore 112644 3 ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd libata 89396 1 sata_sil scsi_mod 124168 2 sd_mod,libata thermal 13608 0 processor 28840 1 thermal fan 4804 0 -- kernel-img.conf do_symlinks = yes relative_links = yes do_bootloader = no do_bootfloppy = no do_initrd = yes link_in_boot = no postinst_hook = update-grub postrm_hook = update-grub -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii busybox 1:1.1.3-4 Tiny utilities for small and embed ii cpio 2.6-17 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii klibc-utils 1.4.34-1 small statically-linked utilities ii module-init-tools 3.3-pre4-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii udev 0.105-4 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo initramfs-tools recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
