Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.120+deb8u2 Severity: important Hi there,
I've tried upgrading a VM from jessie to stretch and I'm having an issue with initramfs-tools. The upgrade is from 0.120+deb8u2 to 0.125. The system is a KVM image of debian jessie (vanilla debian install with only mysql-server installed on top) During the upgrade I got the following error message: update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.120+deb8u2) ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64 cp: omitting directory ‘/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules’ E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev failed with return 1. update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64 with 1. dpkg: error processing package initramfs-tools (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: initramfs-tools E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) after that, I've tried running apt -f install and got: Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.120+deb8u2) ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64 cp: cannot stat ‘/etc/modprobe.d/*’: No such file or directory cp: omitting directory ‘/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules’ E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev failed with return 1. update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64 with 1. dpkg: error processing package initramfs-tools (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.24-7) ... Errors were encountered while processing: initramfs-tools E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) which seems to be blocking on the same error, just with one more warning. FWIW, 70-persistent-net.rules is a directory but is emtpy. I've set priority to "important" since it seems to be blocking upgrade, but I don't know if this applies to more architectures. -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16M Dec 12 21:01 /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64 -- /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/jessie--vg-root ro debian-installer=en_US quiet -- resume RESUME=/dev/mapper/jessie--vg-swap_1 -- /proc/filesystems ext3 ext2 ext4 -- lsmod Module Size Used by nfsv3 37551 1 nfsd 262938 2 auth_rpcgss 51209 1 nfsd oid_registry 12419 1 auth_rpcgss nfs_acl 12511 2 nfsd,nfsv3 nfs 192232 4 nfsv3 lockd 83389 3 nfs,nfsd,nfsv3 fscache 45542 1 nfs sunrpc 237364 24 nfs,nfsd,auth_rpcgss,lockd,nfsv3,nfs_acl crc32_pclmul 12915 0 ppdev 16782 0 aesni_intel 151423 0 aes_x86_64 16719 1 aesni_intel lrw 12757 1 aesni_intel gf128mul 12970 1 lrw glue_helper 12695 1 aesni_intel ablk_helper 12572 1 aesni_intel cryptd 14516 2 aesni_intel,ablk_helper evdev 17445 3 pcspkr 12595 0 serio_raw 12849 0 virtio_balloon 13047 0 ttm 77862 0 parport_pc 26300 0 drm_kms_helper 49210 0 parport 35749 2 ppdev,parport_pc drm 249998 2 ttm,drm_kms_helper i2c_piix4 20864 0 i2c_core 46012 3 drm,i2c_piix4,drm_kms_helper processor 28221 0 thermal_sys 27642 1 processor button 12944 0 autofs4 35529 2 ext4 477942 2 crc16 12343 1 ext4 mbcache 17171 1 ext4 jbd2 82514 1 ext4 dm_mod 89405 6 ata_generic 12490 0 virtio_blk 17345 3 virtio_net 26553 0 crct10dif_pclmul 13387 0 crct10dif_common 12356 1 crct10dif_pclmul crc32c_intel 21809 0 psmouse 99249 0 ata_piix 33592 0 floppy 65068 0 uhci_hcd 43499 0 ehci_hcd 69837 0 virtio_pci 17389 0 virtio_ring 17513 4 virtio_blk,virtio_net,virtio_pci,virtio_balloon virtio 13058 4 virtio_blk,virtio_net,virtio_pci,virtio_balloon usbcore 195468 2 uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd usb_common 12440 1 usbcore libata 177508 2 ata_generic,ata_piix scsi_mod 191405 1 libata -- /etc/initramfs-tools/modules -- /etc/kernel-img.conf # Kernel image management overrides # See kernel-img.conf(5) for details do_symlinks = yes do_bootloader = no do_initrd = yes link_in_boot = no -- /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf MODULES=most BUSYBOX=y KEYMAP=n COMPRESS=gzip DEVICE= NFSROOT=auto -- /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf update_initramfs=yes backup_initramfs=no -- mkinitramfs hooks /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks: busybox dmsetup fsck keymap klibc-utils klibc^i-t kmod lvm2 resume thermal udev zz-busybox -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_CA.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_CA.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii busybox 1:1.22.0-9+deb8u1 ii cpio 2.11+dfsg-4.1+deb8u1 ii klibc-utils 2.0.4-9 ii kmod 18-3 ii udev 232-7 Versions of packages initramfs-tools recommends: ii busybox 1:1.22.0-9+deb8u1 Versions of packages initramfs-tools suggests: ii bash-completion 1:2.1-4.3 -- no debconf information
