Package: kernel-package
Version: 10.019
Severity: grave
kernel-package 10.0xx does a db_stop before calling the /etc/kernel/*.d
snipplets, which breaks packages providing debconf using snipplets like
mkvmlinuz.
Since mkvmlinuz is depended upon by the powerpc kernel, and this means not
only new kernels will be uninstallable on powerpc, but the package will be left
in a dire state at upgrade time.
Furthermore, kernel-package calling db_stop before running the snipplets is
done in order for make allowance for /etc/kernel/*.d scripts doing non-debconf
friendly interaction (writing to stdout directly and such), which breaks the
spirit of the policy, which say that all interaction during a kernel
installation has to be done through debconf, and thus making allowance for
postinst hooks doing non-debconf interaction while breaking debconf using
scripts is a violation of the spirit of the policy.
Friendly,
Sven Luther

Description:
kernel-package - A utility for building Linux kernel related Debian packages.
Closes: 344413 344740
Changes:
kernel-package (10.025) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: latest unstable version breaks linux-2.6
build on amd64", thanks to Frederik Schueler. Now we let the
architecture still be whatever DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU says it should
be. Just set KERNEL_ARCH correctly on amd64/x86_64 machines early, so
that make-kpkg clean does not flake out when there is no ./debian dir.
Accept either x86_64 or amd64 as the architecture, just in case, when
selecting the correct Makefile snippet. So it is perfectly fine to
still say --arch=amd64, like linux-2.6 does (Closes: #344740).
* Bug fix: "[powerpc] k-p 10.00x breaks debconf based /etc/kernel/*.d
scripts like mkvmlinuz", thanks to Sven Luther. Well. In the recent
10.X series, kernel package has started producing image packages whose
maintainer scripts use debconf for user interaction. Unfortunately,
this meant that any hook scripts called in the maintainer scripts for
the image package (update-grub comes to mind), if they wrote anything
at all to the STDOUT, would cause debconf to throw hissy fits, since
it was expecting commands on STDOUT, not random chatter from the hook
scripts.
.
One solution was to call db_stop before calling the hook scripts, and
redirecting stdout to stderr in hte invocation of the
scripts. Unfortunately, this made any scripts that used debconf
impossible.
.
So, either we ban scripts that are interactive, or scripts that
scribble on stdout. Since the former makes some functionality
impossible (some scripts can delicer added functionality and
flexibility of they can interact with users), and the latter just
needs a code change, I would prefer to ask packages that provide
scripts to be used in kernel image postinst/postrm to use debconf for
user interaction, and to send diagnostics to STDERR
(Closes:
#344413).
