Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.53c Severity: normal When finding the dependencies of the modules listed in /etc/mkinitramfs/modules, the mkinitramfs script uses modprobe with the --show-depends option, but this option is provided by the modprobe from the module-init-tools package, but not the older modutils package.
Moreover the actual call to modprobe in manual_add_modules in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions includes a "2>/dev/null" so the user never sees the error, and doesn't know that no modules have been copied into the cpio archive. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (505, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.15 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii busybox 1:1.01-4 Tiny utilities for small and embed ii cpio 2.5-1.3 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii klibc-utils 1.2.2-3 small statically-linked utilities ii udev 0.085-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
