Package: busybox Version: 1:1.1.2-1 Severity: serious Tags: patch Hello,
the latest version of busybox creates a real /lib64 directory in the busybox-udeb package on amd64 and ppc64. This prevents the creation of the /lib64 -> /lib symlink in the d-i images (the symlink is currently created by the 'rootskel' package for d-i). Without this symlink the dynamic linker is not accessible and consequently the d-i images do not work. Please prevent the creation of a real /lib64 on amd64 and ppc64. Moreover, I think that setting 'libdir' to /lib64 as it is done in 'applets/install.sh' is wrong on all current debian architectures. Even if setting libdir to /lib64 to makes sense on a particular debian architecture, 'uname -m' is not a reliable way to detect the architecture. A Debian 'i386' system may run a 'x86_64' kernel, but /lib64 is the wrong libdir for native 'i386' libraries.
