Bug#597952: initramfs-tools not up-dating correctly after aptitude full-upgrade today.

09-24-2010, 02:03 PM

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.98.3
Severity: important
Tags: l10n

After doing an aptitude update then aptitude full-upgrade, aptitude installed
two packages dnsmasq-base initramfs-tools. At the end of installing I recieved
the following error.

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-openvz-amd64

I tryed doing an dpkg-reconfigure with the same results.

My real path is /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-openvz-amd64/modules.dep

Testing was installed on a new hard drive about a month ago with one error. Grub legacy and grub2 failed to install to the drive. Lilo would so the install was finished with that and then later I used aptitude to install grub and remove lilo. I believe lilo is gone from my system with the exception of the symlinks in the root directory.
Thanks
