Package: linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-22etch2 Severity: minor
Every time a new kernel installs, I get a warning message about a dangling symbolic link that it decides to remove. This is produced by the linux-image-*.postinst function fix_build_link when it finds a dangling link - which it always does. Either this warning is irrelevant, in which case the user should not be troubled with it, or it means something, in which case the package building process should be fixed so that you stop shipping packages that contain this dangling symlink. (Forwarded via a different host, since the machine which is old and slow enough to let me read the message has no mail connectivity. It's also running an older kernel, since it fails to find network with the newer kernel - whereas the older kernel's failure to find the mouse is easilly fixed by modprobe psmouse !) -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-3-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7 depends on: ii coreutils 5.97-5.3 The GNU core utilities ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11etch2 Debian configuration management sy ii initramfs-tools [linux-initr 0.85i tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.3-pre4-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii yaird [linux-initramfs-tool] 0.0.12-18 Yet Another mkInitRD Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7 recommends: ii libc6-i686 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i -- debconf information: linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/preinst/initrd-2.6.18-6-k7: linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/prerm/removing-running-kernel-2.6.18-6-k7: true linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/postinst/kimage-is-a-directory: linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/postinst/depmod-error-2.6.18-6-k7: false linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/preinst/abort-overwrite-2.6.18-6-k7: linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/preinst/failed-to-move-modules-2.6.18-6-k7: linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/preinst/lilo-initrd-2.6.18-6-k7: true linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-2.6.18-6-k7: false linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/postinst/old-system-map-link-2.6.18-6-k7: true linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/preinst/abort-install-2.6.18-6-k7: shared/kernel-image/really-run-bootloader: true linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/postinst/create-kimage-link-2.6.18-6-k7: true linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/postinst/old-dir-initrd-link-2.6.18-6-k7: true linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/postinst/bootloader-test-error-2.6.18-6-k7: linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/preinst/lilo-has-ramdisk: linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/preinst/already-running-this-2.6.18-6-k7: linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/preinst/elilo-initrd-2.6.18-6-k7: true linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/prerm/would-invalidate-boot-loader-2.6.18-6-k7: true linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/preinst/bootloader-initrd-2.6.18-6-k7: true linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/preinst/overwriting-modules-2.6.18-6-k7: true linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/postinst/bootloader-error-2.6.18-6-k7: linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7/postinst/old-initrd-link-2.6.18-6-k7: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
