Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.98.8
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch natty
We had a rather obscure Ubuntu bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728611) which presented as Plymouth not
being able to display text at boot time, which of course is nasty in
cases where the user needs to answer a prompt in order for boot to
complete. This turned out to be restricted to configurations where
Plymouth is built into the initramfs, so I chased this down.
The problem is that /lib/plymouth/label.so now transitively links to
libGL, which (on Ubuntu, at least) lives in /usr/lib/mesa/libGL.so.1 or
some other subdirectory of /usr/lib depending on the GL implementation
in use (fglrx, nvidia, etc.). This directory isn't on the linker's
default search path; instead, it relies on /etc/ld.so.cache having been
built appropriately from a configuration including
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/GL.conf, which is managed by update-alternatives. The
thing that's going wrong here is that /usr/lib/mesa/libGL.so.1 is copied
into the initramfs, but it isn't on the linker's search path so
/lib/plymouth/label.so fails to load.
I looked at fixing this by copying in /etc/ld.so.conf* and running
ldconfig, but this turned out to be very difficult due to the way
mkinitramfs symlinks libraries during initramfs creation, and I ended up
giving this up as infeasible for the time being. I think it's better to
have copy_exec check whether the target directory name is only on the
linker search path by virtue of /etc/ld.so.conf*, and if so, install to
/lib or /usr/lib as appropriate instead.
I don't know whether you'll want to take this patch exactly, or refine
it, or do something else entirely; but I've tried to make it relatively
safe and it may be worth it for robustness even if you aren't running
into this problem in Debian right now.
* If copy_exec finds libraries to copy which are only accessible to the
runtime linker by virtue of being listed in /etc/ld.so.conf*, then
install those libraries to /lib or /usr/lib as appropriate instead
(LP: #728611).
