Bug#389441: installation of image package fails with yaird 0.0.12-14
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.18-1
Hello,
Just now, I installed linux-image-2.6.18-1-amd64. At first try, I got
this output:
Setting up linux-image-2.6.18-1-amd64 (2.6.18-1) ...
Hmm. The package shipped with a symbolic link /lib/modules/2.6.18-1-amd64/source
However, I can not read the target: No such file or directory
Therefore, I am deleting /lib/modules/2.6.18-1-amd64/source
Running depmod.
Finding valid ramdisk creators.
Using mkinitrd.yaird to build the ramdisk.
yaird error: bad value in /boot/config-2.6.18-1-amd64: CONFIG_DEFCONFIG_LIST="/lib/modules/$UNAME_RELEASE/.config" (fatal)
mkinitrd.yaird failed to create initrd image.

I then updated yaird:
...
Preparing to replace yaird 0.0.12-14 (using .../yaird_0.0.12-18_amd64.deb) ...

...and reconfigured:
# dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.18-1-amd64

Not updating initrd symbolic links since we are being updated/reinstalled
(2.6.18-1 was configured last, according to dpkg)
Not updating image symbolic links since we are being updated/reinstalled
(2.6.18-1 was configured last, according to dpkg)
You already have a LILO configuration in /etc/lilo.conf
Running boot loader as requested
Testing lilo.conf ...
Testing successful.
Installing the partition boot sector...
Running /sbin/lilo ...
Installation successful.

If I understand everything correctly, this means that the kernel image
package needs version in the dependency on yaird to be updated. HTH.
Much love,
