Package: initramfs-tools-core
Version: 0.125
Severity: important
mkinitramfs does:
# Remove any looping or broken symbolic links, since they break cpio.
[ "${verbose}" = y ] && xargs_verbose="-t"
(cd "${DESTDIR}" && find . -type l -printf '%p %Y\n' | sed -n 's/ [LN]$//p'
\
| xargs ${xargs_verbose:-} -rL1 rm -f)
The comment used to be true when we used the cpio --dereference option,
but we have not done so since version 0.99.
vmdebootstrap installs packages in a chroot without /proc mounted, thus
${DESTDIR}/etc/mtab is a broken link and this command deletes it. We
should remove this code.
Ben.
