Package: linux-image-2.6.12-1
Version: 2.6.12-1-k7
Severity: important
Hi,
the postinst for linux-image-2.6.12 contains an error that creates
symlinks /boot/vmlinuz* and /boot/initrd.img* that point into the void.
$ ll /boot/vmlinuz{,.old} /boot/initrd.img{,.old}
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-07-26 08:21 /boot/initrd.img -> -2.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-07-22 18:49 /boot/initrd.img.old -> -2.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-07-26 08:21 /boot/vmlinuz -> -2.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-07-22 18:49 /boot/vmlinuz.old -> -2.6
I guess the couse of these dangling symlinks is the line
my $image_name = $kimage-$version;
in the postinst's image_magic function.
This line would be correct in a shell script, but since this is Perl
this line must read:
my $image_name = "$kimage-$version";
to be correct.
Hope this helps
Peter
