Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.4
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/update-initramfs
Hi,
update-initramfs considers linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 to be newer
than linux-image-2.6.32-3-amd64 causing the initrd of an outdated kernel
to be updated.
Even though the 2.6.32-trunk kernels are no longer available in the
archive, they are probably installed on some machines tracking sid or
squeeze and are not going to be removed automatically (that is a good
thing), so they will continue to confuse update-initramfs unless they
are uninstalled manually. From popcon I got the following counts:
$ zgrep image-2.6.32-trunk all-popcon-results.txt.gz | sort -nr -k 3
Package: linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686 4075 756 313 7
Package: linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 2907 611 200 6
So there seems to be a significant amount of machines having them
still installed (only looking at the main variants amd64 and 686).
See also bugs #568160 and #570318 covering grub-legacy/grub2 to wrongly
sort the -trunk kernel ahead of the newer kernels.
