Hi Manoj, Sorry for the late response - had some other projects to finish. Your latest fix in kernel-package (short: k-p) v12.009 to "/etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs" works fine, here:
[...] # try and remove the initramfs, and do not care if it fails update-initramfs -d -k "$version" $bootarg || true ---EOF--- Again, we learned "purge" and "remove" of Debian-packages are not the same. Are you planning to update the documentaion and man-pages of k-p? Seems to be missing, parts. As an addendum, it would be worth mentioning the creation/deletion of the according initrd-image while installing/removing/purging a linux-image Debian-package built with k-p (see this bug-report thread). It should mention the interaction of 1. /etc/kernel-img.conf 2. /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs 3. /etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs I see "/usr/share/kernel-package/examples/etc/sample.kernel-img.conf" as a sample which has no similarity with the "very old" one of mine [1]. IMHO, "oldschool-users" of k-p will run in this pitfall. As an idea, you could put a second sample-file "sample.kernel-img.conf-with-initramfs" to honour this thread :-). Thanks again for your help (Jean-Luc's ideas) and your work, Manoj.
