Bug#926875: initramfs-tools backward compatibility removal
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.130 When ifdown is invoked, it still checks for IFDOWN beeing supplied within /conf/initramfs.conf. Due to the nature of evolution, this has been moved to /etc/dropbear-initramfs/config within the release of stretch. ### if grep -q ^DROPBEAR_IFDOWN= /conf/initramfs.conf; then # XXX backward compatibility; remove once Stretch is the current stable . /conf/initramfs.conf IFDOWN="$DROPBEAR_IFDOWN" fi if [ -e /etc/dropbear/config ]; then . /etc/dropbear/config fi ### I suggest to move the checks to the accordingly right file which is now /etc/dropbear-initramfs/config. Further a backward-compability check for upgraded systems should be in place or a warning (like when setting up cryptotools) to move already set variables like "IFDOWN=" to the appropriate new configuration-path (see above).
