Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.109.1 Severity: normal File: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools
The script /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools checks for the existence of /usr/sbin/update-initramfs using an absolute path, but later invokes it without any path. Among other possible dangers, this causes problems when /usr/sbin is not in one's PATH. I discovered this when trying to build a kernel with kernel-package, fakeroot, and zsh (which by default does not include /usr/sbin in PATH for ordinary users). -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -- /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-686-pae root=/dev/mapper/host-root ro quiet -- resume RESUME=/dev/mapper/host-swap_1 -- /proc/filesystems ext4 ext2 -- lsmod Module Size Used by nfsd 173901 2 nfs 265953 0 nfs_acl 12463 2 nfs,nfsd auth_rpcgss 32143 2 nfs,nfsd fscache 31978 1 nfs lockd 61373 2 nfs,nfsd sunrpc 143904 6 lockd,auth_rpcgss,nfs_acl,nfs,nfsd ext2 49826 1 loop 17810 0 snd_hda_intel 21786 0 snd_hda_codec 63477 1 snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 12943 1 snd_hda_codec i2c_piix4 12480 0 snd_pcm 53461 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd_page_alloc 12867 2 snd_pcm,snd_hda_intel virtio_balloon 12720 0 psmouse 59609 0 virtio_console 17883 0 processor 27565 0 thermal_sys 17752 1 processor pcspkr 12515 0 evdev 17225 2 snd_timer 22356 1 snd_pcm snd 42761 5 snd_timer,snd_pcm,snd_hda_intel,snd_hwdep,snd_hda_codec soundcore 12921 1 snd joydev 17010 0 i2c_core 19116 1 i2c_piix4 serio_raw 12803 0 button 12817 0 ext4 306996 5 crc16 12327 1 ext4 jbd2 56426 1 ext4 mbcache 12938 2 ext4,ext2 usbhid 31554 0 hid 64284 1 usbhid dm_mod 57386 18 sg 21476 0 sr_mod 17468 0 cdrom 34813 1 sr_mod ata_generic 12439 0 virtio_blk 12754 3 floppy 48125 0 virtio_net 17527 0 ata_piix 25271 0 libata 125014 2 ata_piix,ata_generic scsi_mod 135081 3 libata,sr_mod,sg uhci_hcd 22337 0 ehci_hcd 39631 0 virtio_pci 13015 0 virtio_ring 12988 5 virtio_pci,virtio_net,virtio_blk,virtio_console,virtio_balloon virtio 12933 6 virtio_ring,virtio_pci,virtio_net,virtio_blk,virtio_console,virtio_balloon usbcore 104555 4 ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd,usbhid usb_common 12338 1 usbcore -- /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 keymap klibc kmod lvm2 thermal udev -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii cpio 2.11+dfsg-0.1 ii klibc-utils 2.0.1-3.1 ii kmod 9-3 ii module-init-tools 9-3 ii udev 175-7.2 Versions of packages initramfs-tools recommends: ii busybox 1:1.20.0-7 Versions of packages initramfs-tools suggests: ii bash-completion 1:2.0-1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
