Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.107
Severity: wishlist wheezy
(Orthogonal issues skipped for brevity.) Upgrading from somewhat mixed
squeeze/wheezy-1 to clean wheezy. Upgrading to lilo_1:22.8-8.3 (I
already knew it was needed) with no problems. Upgrading to
linux-image-3.2.0-4-486_3.2.41-2 pulled initramfs-tools_0.109.1. That's
where *it* hit first. Copypasting symptom:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-486
cp: invalid option -- 'n'
Try `cp --help' for more information.
Successfuly fought some problems (I won't report them, not sure what had
happened) -- after upgrade to kmod_9-3 (and friends) I've faced this:
$ zcat /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-486 | cpio -t | grep 'bin/'
sbin/modprobe
sbin/rmmod
sbin/udevadm
sbin/udevd
sbin/blkid
bin/sh
bin/busybox
bin/kmod
45043 blocks
In rescue shell I've found $Subject and (sorry for retyping, serial
console isn't at first place in my todo):
* Almost empty /dev . It had two entries:
+ console
+ null (which was plain file, 5 bytes long)
* In /bin busybox, kmod, and symlink sh
* In /sbin blkid, udevadm, udevd, and two symlinks modprobe and rmod
Just as listed above.
The problem is here (quoting relevant lines of
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/klibc of initramfs-tools_0.109.1):
18 # klibc
19 cp -pnL /usr/lib/klibc/bin/* ${DESTDIR}/bin
20 cp -pL /lib/klibc-*.so ${DESTDIR}/lib
Pay attention to line #19 (it's not #33, as reported at runtime).
'--no-clobber' option of 'cp' has appeared in coreutils_7.1 (if my
reading of
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/tree/NEWS?id=74ba433a14224c9cc77acc55eac568a5a8ab8c2c
is not mistaken).
p.s. initramfs-tools people, you're free to close. This is here just
to be googled.
