Package: initramfs-tools

Severity: normal

Hi,

mmdebstrap is a replacement for debootstrap and also supports fakechroot
as a way to avoid becoming root to produce a chroot tarball. Currently,
the postinst script of initramfs-tools fails during installation of a
linux kernel package. I inserted a "set -x" before installing
linux-image-amd64 and this is the result:

As you can see, the postinst script tries to copy libfakeroot-sysv.so
into the initramfs. This fails because libfakeroot-sysv.so is only
available outside the chroot but not inside of it. Additionally,
libfakeroot-sysv.so should probably not be part of the initramfs. Maybe
some code should be added to skip inclusion of the library?

Thanks!

cheers, josch

It seems not only the fakeroot library but also the fakechroot library were
wrongly attempted to being copied. With these changes the postinst script
finishes successfully:
