Package: linux-base
Version: 3.5
Severity: minor

I did the following:

  - basic squeeze install, choose no bootloader,
  - manually do an extlinux install in /boot (extlinux package is NOT installed)
  - set link_in_boot=yes in kernel-img.conf

Those are about the only things I did.  Then I tried to upgrade from
squeeze to wheezy and got

    Not a directory at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-base.postinst line 1177.

...without further helpful output.  That line is part of a generic
function, so I straced dpkg --configure -a and found

    4875  open("/boot/extlinux/options.cfg", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory)

I have not investigated further but I guess this is because linux-base
is finding /boot/ldlinux.sys and assuming it was configured in the way
update-extlinux does it.

FWIW even when I do install extlinux via apt, I typically have a
static /boot/syslinux.cfg and I disable update-extlinux so it doesn't
run.

If you aren't interested in supporting odd extlinux setups, that's OK
with me, but I would appreciate a less obscure error message.

Here is what my system looks like:

    root@debian:~# cat /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 = yes
