Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-13.4
Severity: normal

The following code in /etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh is flawed and leads to
an error message from chmod:

,----
|       # Mount /tmp as tmpfs if enabled.
|       TMP_OPT=
|       [ "${TMP_SIZE:=$TMPFS_SIZE}" ] && TMP_OPT=",size=$TMP_SIZE"
|       [ "${TMP_MODE:=$TMPFS_MODE}" ] && TMP_OPT="$TMP_OPT,mode=$TMP_MODE"
|       if [ yes = "$RAMTMP" ] ; then
|               domount tmpfs shmfs /tmp tmpfs "-onodev,nosuid$TMP_OPT"
|       else
|               if [ rw = "$rootmode" ]; then
|                       chmod "$TMP_MODE" /tmp
|               fi
|       fi
`----

The root filesystem is read-only while mountkernfs.sh runs, no matter
what the value of $rootmode says, and /tmp does not live on a separate
filesystem (yet).
