Package: initramfs-tools-core

Severity: normal

Hi,
Two days ago, I upgraded the s390x ci.debian.net host from bookworm to
trixie. The system was already running the kernel from backports, so
the upgrade was mostly of the userland. That upgrade hasn't been a
nice experience, because the system failed to boot afterwards. I was
able to boot the previous kernel eventually, but while trying to
figure out if the initramfs was somehow missing pieces I tried to run
lsinitramfs on both the old (current) and new (failing) initramfs, but
that failed on the old one:
$ lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img.old
cpio: premature end of archive
Running the same command on the new (but non booting initramfs) worked
as expected.

This was incidentally fixed by the rewrite of unmkinitramfs, because it
now passes a compressed image to a decompressor as stdin rather than as
a filename.
