Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected] Control: affects -1 + src:initramfs-tools User: [email protected] Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package initramfs-tools [ Reason ] An optimisation to avoid redundant initramfs updates turned out not to be entirely correct. [ Impact ] The initramfs is not always updated after a package triggers an update. Depending on when this happenes, this could result in boot failure, security updates not being applied to the initramfs, or cosmetic changes missing. [ Tests ] Many boot configurations are covered by autopkgtests. There isn't a specific test for the operation of triggers. [ Risks ] This reverts trigger handling to the simpler version used in earlier versions (including in bullseye and bookworm), so there is nothing new being introduced. The only risk I see is that some users or tests may have started relying on the faster operation since v0.147. [ Checklist ] [X] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [X] attach debdiff against the package in testing [ Other info ] unblock initramfs-tools/0.148.3
