Package: kernel-package
Version: 12.031
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Since a few builds using kernel-package, I get a nasty
error during install.
The message (for a second try) is:
LC_ALL=C sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.32_2_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 121446 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace linux-image-2.6.32 2 (using
linux-image-2.6.32_2_amd64.deb) ...
The directory /lib/modules/2.6.32 still exists. Continuing as directed.

Done.

Internal Error: Could not find image (/boot/bzImage-2.6.32)
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.32 (--install):
A first try does give the same error, it's just not saying it replaces the
2.6.32
kernel with itself.
The error comes frfom the fact the .deb still ships a vmlinuz-2.6.32 file, but
no
bzImage-2.6.32 file. I find myself editing the postinst script in the
/var/lib/dpkg/infos/linux-image${kernel version}.postinst
to replace the line
my $kimage = "bzImage"; # Should be empty, mostly
with
my $kimage = "vmlinuz"; # Should be empty, mostly
then i must issue this command:
$ sudo apt-get -f install
So that postinst is executed and gets the name correctly guessed.
The kernel has been built as follows:
$ hg clone http://kernel.org/hg/linux-2.6
$ cd linux-2.6
$ hg up -C v2.6.32
$ cp $data/linux-2.6.32.config .config
$ CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=2 make-kpkg \
--bzimage --initrd --rootcmd fakeroot --revision 2
My kernel-img.conf is as follows:
# Kernel image management overrides
# See kernel-img.conf(5) for details
silent_modules = yes
