Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-image
I used Synaptics Package manager to perform a complete removal of "linux-image-2.6.22-9", "linux-image-2.6.22-10" and "linux- image-2.6.22-11" in order to free up space in /boot. When watching with ls I saw the uninstall procedure first creating a new initrd file (and making a backup of the old one) before actually deleting the linux-image package files. This happened with all three linux-image packages. It seems to me that creating an initrd image just before removing it makes not much sense. Especially since on my aged hardware creating an initrd image takes quite a while. All this was observed on Ubuntu 7.10 Beta. Synaptic Package manager says "synaptic 0.60ubuntu4". ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Uninstall of linux-image package first creates initrd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152548 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
