Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.109.1
Followup-For: Bug #636697
Dear Maintainer,
I ran into a problem with wheezy.
* What led up to the situation?
Updating from squeeze to wheezy in the running system was successfull
except for
the error as given below when trying to generate the initrd for kernel
3.2 on amd64 (multiarch with i386)

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I tracked down the problem to the script pcidetect that trys to
copy_exec some
libs/bins to the new initrd-root. E.g. libresolv, libpci and lspci
directly from /lib or /usr/lib or /usr/bin without considering that
in multiarch on amd64 the libs are in sub-dirs.
I worked around this by creating symlinks, e.g. in /usr/lib:
libpci.so.3 - /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpci.so.3
* What was the outcome of this action?
Now, initramfs completes without a hitch and the systems boots. :-)
* What outcome did you expect instead?
-
Request: would it be possible to fix this or tell me, what I should do
to correct this problem in a systematic and reliable way? I guess my solution
might break anytime... :-(
Thanks
Joachim
