Dear Maintainer,

After updating coreutils from 9.1-1 to 9.4-1+b1 the following lines appear when
running update-initramfs -u:

cp: not replacing '/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_vZS3YW/bin/umount'
cp: not replacing '/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_vZS3YW/bin/uname'

The lines seem to be a cosmetic issue only, but I cannot be entirely sure.

FWIW, this has been triggered by the following changes in coreutils:

,----
| * Noteworthy changes in release 9.3 (2023-04-18) [stable]
|
| ** Changes in behavior
|
|   'cp -n' and 'mv -n' now issue an error diagnostic if skipping a file,
|   to correspond with -n inducing a nonzero exit status as of coreutils 9.2.
|
| * Noteworthy changes in release 9.2 (2023-03-20) [stable]
|
| ** Changes in behavior
|
|   'cp -n' and 'mv -n' now exit with nonzero status if they skip their
|   action because the destination exists, and likewise for 'cp -i',
|   'ln -i', and 'mv -i' when the user declines.  (POSIX specifies this
|   for 'cp -i' and 'mv -i'.)
`----

I looked for 'cp -n' in the initramfs-tools source and could not find
it.  It turns out that the actual culprit is the file
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/klibc-utils which uses the -n option,
apparently with good reason, namely not to overwrite files from busybox.

> The lines seem to be a cosmetic issue only, but I cannot be entirely sure.

There do not seem to be any ill effects beside the warnings.

Cheers,
       Sven

Ouch! Nonzero? That’s harsh, and bad as it’s impossible to distinguish
between error and declining to copy/move.

There is a good example in diff(1) for how to handle this better:
use distinct errorlevels for each case.

Michael, could you perhaps throw that upstream?

There is already an upstream bug report for this, see

Where do we stand on this after coreutils 9.4-3? The autopkgtest is 
failing, but I think at this point that's bogus (because of the new 
deprecation warning), and the functionality is actually ok?

Failing autopkgtest:
https://ci.debian.net/packages/i/initramfs-tools/testing/amd64/41469415/

"Good" reference:
https://ci.debian.net/packages/i/initramfs-tools/testing/amd64/41379006/

The autopkgtest now probably "just" fails because of the
deprecation warning on stderr. Might be best to update cp usage in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/klibc-utils, then it should be
good?

Dear Maintainer,

I found a small typo in initramfs-tools klibc-utils script:

 		fi
 		;;


With this change "if" works ok detecting file exists and don't try to overwrite.

Greetings

But the code doesn't match the comment ("in /bin or /sbin").
What is actually expected?
