Package: kernel-image-2.6.9-1-k7
Version: 2.6.9-2
Severity: important
On installation of this package, installation fails because it cannot
find mkext2fs.
A search on the net revealed the shell script attached below. Installing
this in /usr/local/sbin made the package installable.
(My system is latest debian unstable, installed a while ago from
Knoppix)
#!/bin/bash
# similar to mkcramfs (for use with debian mkinitrd)
# mkext2fs dirname outfile
#
# no options are parsed
#
# Written by: Fabian Franz <mkext2fs@fabian-franz.de>
# GPL v.2 - See: `locate gpl.txt`
if [ $# -lt 2 ]
then
echo "Usage: $(basename $0) dirname outfile"
exit 1
fi
TMPDIR=/tmp/$(basename $0).$$
mkdir $TMPDIR
function clean_exit
{
umount $TMPDIR 2>/dev/null
rm -rf $TMPDIR
}
trap clean_exit EXIT
COUNT=$[$(du -s $1 | awk '{ print $1 }' )*2+1000]
dd if=/dev/zero of=$TMPDIR/image count=$COUNT
mke2fs -F $TMPDIR/image
