Package: initramfs-tools-core
Version: 0.142+deb12u1
Severity: serious
Justification: hidden breakage for users, ought to be fixed in stable-pu
X-Debbugs-Cc: tg@mirbsd.de

In bullseye, this would work:

copy_exec /usr/lib/klibc/bin/rnd_shuf /usr/libexec/
copy_exec /usr/sbin/rdate /usr/libexec/

In bookworm, the first line instead of copying the
file rnd_shuf to /usr/libexec/rnd_shuf it copies it
to /usr/libexec and the second does no better.

Incidentally…

copy_exec /usr/lib/klibc/bin/rnd_shuf /usr/libexec/
copy_exec /usr/sbin/rdate /usr/libexec/rdate

… makes the second line fail:

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_eQ7nC7//usr/libexec’: File exists

So copy_exec clearly still i̲s̲ capable of creating missing
intermediate directories, but something made it stop
honouring trailing slashes.

I wonder what else, other than my script to enable the
network interface, get the clocktime, and disable it
again, on an RPi that has no RTC, will break on users’
systems from this. This really needs to be fixed in
stable-pu.
