As does kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp. I was getting ready to file this
same bug report, but happily you beat me to the punch :)
It is apparently this in postrm:
if ($ARGV[0] !~ /upgrade/) {
if (-f $realimageloc . "initrd.img-$version") {
unlink $realimageloc . "initrd.img-$version";
}
image_magic($kimage, $image_dest);
image_magic($kimage . ".old", $image_dest);
image_magic("initrd.img", $image_dest) if $initrd;
image_magic("initrd.img.old", $image_dest) if $initrd;
}
I don't immediately see why it is failing, though. It looks OK to me.
Perhaps it's not getting called with upgrade $old_version?
Not sure,
