#52510 — Bug#813229: initramfs-tools: '/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf' is marked as obsolete conffile

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.122
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

since latest update of initramfs-tools 0.122
'/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf' is marked as
obsolete conffile:

% command dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | command grep 'initramfs.*obsolete$'
/etc/bash_completion.d/initramfs-tools 7eeb7184772f3658e7cf446945c096b1 obsolete
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf 42161705437308c44abc6d46395889c1 obsolete

Usually the local admin can safely rm obsolete conffiles, thats not the case
with '/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf' as this breaks update-initramfs.



kind regards,

     Thilo

This is bug #811496.

It has moved to initramfs-tools-core.  If you run:

    dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | grep 'initramfs\.conf'

you should see:

 /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf 42161705437308c44abc6d46395889c1 obsolete
 /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf 7690949b00a8a2c0fad84fa4e965b00c

Indeed.  I'll investigate how to handle the package split in a way that
dpkg doesn't get confused like this.

confirmed. I attach the output as file, so that my MUA does not mangle it.
