Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.59
Severity: important


when upgrading kernels, I get the following error:

Setting up linux-image-2.6.16-1-686-smp (2.6.16-3) ...
Running depmod.
Finding valid ramdisk creators.
Using mkinitramfs-kpkg to build the ramdisk.
Other valid candidates: mkinitramfs-kpkg mkinitrd.yaird
/usr/sbin/mkinitramfs-kpkg: line 55: supported_host_version: unbound
variable
mkinitramfs-kpkg failed to create initrd image.


Looking at line 55, it checks if $supported_host_version is empty or
not.  However, it is in fact unset, which causes a fatal error due to
"set -eu" in the beginning fo the script.

This is possibly a bug due to non-posix'nes of sh-bash under which the script
was developed under?
