Package: lvm-common Version: 1.5.18 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
I ran an upgrade this morning and picked up this package, among others, including a new kernel image. This generated a new initrd which rendered my "Root on LVM" system unbootable into the new kernel. Fortunately, I had a recovery kernel on hand that still worked. After some frantic recovery work, I have determined that rolling back lvm-common to 1.5.17 enables the generation of an unbroken initrd that can be booted. The error reported during the boot process is "No program "vgchange" exists for your LVM version". Root is unmountable and the kernel panics shortly afterward. Frankly, this is a bit of a surprise- I didn't think this particular package would be the problem cause. Sorry to create an RC bug, but this almost hosed my system completely and my guess is it will break anyone who uses lvm on root after a kernel upgrade.
