Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.98.7 Severity: normal
Installing initramfs-tools version 0.98.7 on squeeze (=debian testing) I get the following error messages: /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 296: /tmp/mkinitramfs_6qmV4K/scripts/init-top/all_generic_ide: Permission denied /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 296: /tmp/mkinitramfs_6qmV4K/scripts/init-top/blacklist: Permission denied /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 296: /tmp/mkinitramfs_6qmV4K/scripts/init-top/keymap: Permission denied /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 296: /tmp/mkinitramfs_6qmV4K/scripts/init-top/udev: Permission denied /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 296: /tmp/mkinitramfs_6qmV4K/scripts/init-bottom/udev: Permission denied /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 296: /tmp/mkinitramfs_6qmV4K/scripts/local-premount/resume: Permission denied /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 296: /tmp/mkinitramfs_6qmV4K/scripts/local-bottom/cryptopensc: Permission denied /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 296: /tmp/mkinitramfs_6qmV4K/scripts/local-top/cryptopensc: Permission denied /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 296: /tmp/mkinitramfs_6qmV4K/scripts/local-top/cryptroot: Permission denied /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 296: /tmp/mkinitramfs_6qmV4K/scripts/local-top/lvm2: Permission denied ->the postinst fails because /tmp is mounted noexec, and the script can't set the executable bit for the listed files Found this thread which indicates that m...@sro.at fixed the problem: http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2010/04/msg00481.html I can work around this for now given the hints in the thread (I'll just point $TMPDIR to another director for the install), but would like to know if this will get fixed for final sqeeze? I'll definitely run into problems otherwise, as /tmp is set to noexec on all servers... Many thanks in advance, and a happy new year -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
