Package: linux-base Version: 4.5 Tags: patch I wanted to get rid of the /vmlinuz and /initrd symlinks. It took me a while to find out that they are managed by linux-update-symlinks, and then a trivial but crucial typo in the manpage did cost me even more time to figure out that the parameter I needed to set is called do_symlinks rather than no_symlinks. Patch attached. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: amd64 Kernel: Linux 4.13.2-nouveau (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages linux-base depends on: ii debconf 1.5.63 linux-base recommends no packages. linux-base suggests no packages.

Patch attached. Right! This is really a thinko, not a typo - we used to support a 'no_symlinks' setting which would result in file copies rather than symlinks. Thanks for the patch. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Make three consecutive correct guesses and you will be considered an expert.
