** Description changed: - The new postinst hook from bug 1877088 currently requires initramfs- - tools installed, or installing a kernel would fail. This happens for me - on a builder chroot trying to build linux-meta of a derivative kernel. + [SRU Justification] - The fix would be to skip running the script if update-initramfs is not - available. + == Impact == + The new postinst hook from bug 1877088 currently requires initramfs-tools installed, or installing a kernel would fail. This happens for me on a builder chroot trying to build linux-meta of a derivative kernel. + + == Fix == + The fix would be to skip running the script if update-initramfs is not available. The check was taken from the /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools script which has exactly that check at the beginning. + + == Testcase == + Building linux-meta in a sbuild chroot which should again work without the messages about verifying links. Reinstalling a kernel on a system with update-initramfs existing should still print the messages. + + == Regression Potential == + Systems with update-initramfs installed and initrd files might for some reason again fail to fix missing links.
