Package: kernel-package
Version: 9.000
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/kernel-package/image.postinst
Hi, Manoj.
When attempting to install a recently built kernel image, I got the
nonsensical message
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.9 points to /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.10 -- doing nothing at
/var/lib/dpkg/info/kernel-image-2.6.11.10.postinst line 559.
Comparing this postinst to the one from my 2.6.11.9 package, which
built with kernel-package 8.135 and proceeded to install normally,
suggests an accidental nesting error in the logic involving
$force_move. In particular, it appears that when adding the logic
involving $real_old_target, you accidentally terminated
if ($real_old_target && -f "$real_old_target") {
with the
} else {
$force_move = 1;
}
that had previously terminated
if (-l "$kimage.old") {
and then compensated by adding an extra } around line 597, associating
several intervening blocks of code with the wrong conditionals.
