Package: initramfs-tools
Followup-For: Bug #395069
update-initramfs exits with code 1 during the update (-u) switch.
this causes failures installing every package that runs it in its
scripts (udev, linux-image-*, initramfs-tools...).
the error code is returned while executing run_bootloader().
my configuration has lilo and grub installed. so configuration files for
both bootloaders are in place. the system was installed with lilo and
then i switched to grub.
i've not deeply debbugged the script but it seems that the error is
caused wither by run_lilo or mbr_check. i did not saw any message from
lilo so probably the incriminated function is the latter.
after saying all these things the workaround is to remove lilo.
the real problem is that no information is given by the script, so it
can be difficult to track down what is causing the error.
