Package: live-initramfs
Version: 1.110.5-1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
The live script uses a mount command that specifies the type of the filesystem
to mount. For some reason this fails dropping me into the initramfs prompt. I
get the following in the live.log file:
debug: Can not mount backev /dev/loop0 (image
= /live/image/live/filesystem.squashfs) on
croot/imagename //filesystem.squashfs
mount: failed ...
I've attached a patch that removes the type which allows the mount to
complete.
