Bug#345949: initramfs-tools: mkinitramfs does not copy klibc library



Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.47.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Hi, 

After upgrade my system and installing a new kernel my system would fail while 
booting because the initramfs image was missing the klibc library. 
The last version of libklibc has moved the library from /usr/lib/klibc/lib to
/lib and mkinitramfs does not look there.
Attached is a patch which fixes this.
