Bug description:
[impact]
setting MODULES=list in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf results in
an error/warning when running update-initramfs
[test case]
edit initramfs.conf to change MODULES=list and run update-initramfs:
$ grep MODULES /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
# MODULES: [ most | netboot | dep | list ]
MODULES=list
$ sudo update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.8.0-48-generic
find: ‘/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_Yr04uh/lib/modules/5.8.0-48-generic/kernel’: No
such file or directory
[regression potential]
any regression would likely result in an initramfs that did not
include the correct/required modules, and/or failure to build a new
initramfs
[scope]
this is needed for f and g.
this is not fixed in debian, but is fixed in h and i.
the code in b is different and doesn't include this bug, so this
doesn't apply to b.
for debian, MR open:
https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/initramfs-tools/-/merge_requests/48
[other info]
this caused some of the 'amd64-*' autopkgtests to fail in h until it
was fixed. those autopkgtests don't exist in g and earlier so this was
not noticed until now.
