Bug#845967: initramfs-tools: Don't print warning if /etc/modprobe.d is empty

[Chris Lamb]

Source: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.125
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

If /etc/modprobe.d is empty, we print a warning that might be misleading
to users:

  […]

  update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.8.0-1-amd64
  cp: cannot stat '/etc/modprobe.d/*': No such file or directory
  Setting up linux-image-amd64 (4.8+76) ...

  […]


Patch attached.


Regards,
