There is another problem like this with base-passwd. Package are using /etc/passwd and /etc/group before base-passwd has been configured without Pre-Depends, specifically they for example chown root:root.
While base-passwd is essential it only creates /etc/passwd and /etc/group in postinst. Therefore base-passwd being essential is not enough. As a workaround one can tell cdebootstrap to force the configuration of mawk and base-passwd by adding an action to /usr/share/cdebootstrap /generic-ubuntu/action Action: dpkg-install Flags: force, only What: dpkg +Action: dpkg-install +Flags: force, only +What: mawk + +Action: dpkg-install +Flags: force, only +What: base-passwd + Action: helper-install What: cdebootstrap-helper-rc.d -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524448 Title: [lucid] initramfs-tools should depend on awk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdebootstrap/+bug/524448/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
