Bug#588915: postinst: /usr/sbin/update-initramfs: line 199: do_b: unbound variable
I can confirm that, having upgraded initramfs-tools, my system now manages to configure the package correctly and build a working initrd.

Bug#588915: postinst: /usr/sbin/update-initramfs: line 199: do_b: unbound variable
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.97.2 When configuring initramfs-tools, this happens: wraith:~# dpkg --configure initramfs-tools Setting up initramfs-tools (0.97.2) ... update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686 /usr/sbin/update-initramfs: line 199: do_b: unbound variable dpkg: error processing initramfs-tools (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: initramfs-tools Until recently, this system has been running locally-compiled kernels. I recently installed a packaged kernel, linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 version 2.6.32-15, and this pulled in initramfs-tools for the first time, which failed on configuration. I suspect there's _something_ unusual about my system that causes this problem, but better reporting of what it is would be nice. -- Ben Harris, University of Cambridge Computing Service. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Well, there (pointed via [1]) it is. :) But sadly you didn't provide details about your configuration as suggested by reportbug. So please provide at least content of /etc/kernel-img.conf and /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf regards, -mika- signature.asc Description: Digital signature

So please provide at least content of /etc/kernel-img.conf and /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf Sorry. This bug (in combination with a bunch of other circumstances) means that my normal home directory is AWOL on that machine, and reportbug doesn't like being run as root, so I constructed the bug report by hand. Anyway, I don't have an /etc/kernel-img.conf. I've attached /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf. FWIW, all the other conffiles for initramfs-tools appear to be unmodified as well. -- Ben Harris, University of Cambridge Computing Service.
