Package: debirf Version: 0.35 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
Running debirf in a sid chroot results in the following error : $ debirf make minimal ... extracting kernel package linux-image-4.3.0-1-amd64_4.3.5-1_amd64.deb... Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Package module-init-tools is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'module-init-tools' has no installation candidate run-parts: minimal/modules/install-kernel exited with return code 100 It seems that 'kmod' superseded 'module-init-tools'. (https://packages.qa.debian.org/k/kmod/news/20151220T175002Z.html, "* Remove the module-init-tools transitional package.") There is no error message with the attached patch applied.
