Proposed change to initramfs-tools: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel- team/initramfs-tools/-/merge_requests/139
Let's see what upstream thinks about that approach. For the SRU: Changing the interface of copy_libgcc to not take any parameters any more is safe, because specified parameters are just ignored. copy_libgcc is only called by initramfs-tools itself and multipath-tools according to codesearch.debian.net. I don't see any `uname -m` calls in the code or the hooks (except for one in dep_add_modules). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2085157 Title: mkinitramfs fails with copy_file binary '/libgcc_s.so.[1-9]' not found Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: New Status in multipath-tools package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I recently did an 24.10 install and was surprised that the system hangs during the post-install reboot. Investigation showed that this happens if the installer applies updates, which is done by default, if there is proper network connectivity and archive access. In case of an install where I disabled the network, hence an offline install was done, the installation incl. post-install reboot was successful. So I took such a successfully installed system (where no updates were applied) and noticed that currently the available updates are: $ apt list --upgradable iproute2/oracular-updates 6.10.0-2ubuntu1 s390x [upgradable from: 6.10.0-2] linux-generic/oracular-updates 6.11.0-9.9 s390x [upgradable from: 6.11.0-8.8] linux-headers-generic/oracular-updates 6.11.0-9.9 s390x [upgradable from: 6.11.0-8.8] linux-image-generic/oracular-updates 6.11.0-9.9 s390x [upgradable from: 6.11.0-8.8] linux-libc-dev/oracular-updates 6.11.0-9.9 s390x [upgradable from: 6.11.0-8.8] linux-tools-common/oracular-updates 6.11.0-9.9 all [upgradable from: 6.11.0-8.8] So seemed to be kernel related, hence tried to update the kernel manually: $ sudo apt install linux-image-generic/oracular-updates Selected version '6.11.0-9.9' (Ubuntu:24.10/oracular-updates [s390x]) for 'linux-image-generic' Upgrading: linux-generic linux-image-generic linux-tools-common linux-headers-generic linux-libc-dev Installing dependencies: linux-headers-6.11.0-9 linux-modules-extra-6.11.0-9-generic linux-headers-6.11.0-9-generic linux-tools-6.11.0-9 linux-image-6.11.0-9-generic linux-tools-6.11.0-9-generic linux-modules-6.11.0-9-generic Suggested packages: fdutils linux-tools Summary: Upgrading: 5, Installing: 7, Removing: 0, Not Upgrading: 1 Download size: 65.3 MB Space needed: 165 MB / 21.2 GB available └─ in /boot: 43.1 MB / 1,876 MB available Continue?

Running kernel version: 6.11.0-8-generic Diagnostics: The currently running kernel version is not the expected kernel version 6.11.0-9-generic. Restarting the system to load the new kernel will not be handled automatically, so you should consider rebooting. Failed to check for processor microcode upgrades. No services need to be restarted. No containers need to be restarted. No user sessions are running outdated binaries. No VM guests are running outdated hypervisor (qemu) binaries on this host. I noticed these two lines, that have been spit out by update-initramfs: update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.11.0-9-generic mkinitramfs: copy_file: binary '/usr/lib/udev/dmsetup_env' not found█████▋ ] mkinitramfs: copy_file: binary '/libgcc_s.so.[1-9]' not found Hence I tried to ran update-initramfs on the release kernel 6.11.0-8-8 and it happened there as well: $ sudo update-initramfs -k all -u update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.11.0-8-generic mkinitramfs: copy_file: binary '/usr/lib/udev/dmsetup_env' not found mkinitramfs: copy_file: binary '/libgcc_s.so.[1-9]' not found Using config file '/etc/zipl.conf' Run /lib/s390-tools/zipl_helper.device-mapper 252:1 Building bootmap in '/boot' Adding IPL section 'ubuntu' (default) Run /lib/s390-tools/zipl_helper.device-mapper 252:1 Run /lib/s390-tools/zipl_helper.device-mapper 252:1 Preparing boot device for LD-IPL: dm-0. Done. So it's a initramfs-tools (mkinitramfs) issue rather than a kernel issue, somewhere in copy_libgcc() (or before). Seems to be a small issue, but is causing a big impact, since it leads to a broken default installation.
