agreed, but that is an dpkg bug not having a "do this last and once" hook. > One idea is to make two commands, update-initramfs-intent and > update-initramfs-delayed, where the former register the packages > intent to run update-initramfs in their config script, and the last > package to call the latter will do the updating in their postinst > script. NACK, that seems to fragile, i would really prefer to get that bug fixed in dpkg than having such a workaround in initramfs-tools. there are other package, who would benefit from such a hook. regards -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
