Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.82~bpo.1

Hi,

13:root@taz:/boot> rm initrd.img-2.6.18-1-xen-vserver-686         
14:root@taz:/boot> update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.18-1-xen-vserver-686
Cannot create version 2.6.18-1-xen-vserver-686: already exists
zsh: exit 1     update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.18-1-xen-vserver-686
15:root@taz:/boot> update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.18-1-xen-vserver-686
sha1sum: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-1-xen-vserver-686: No such file or directory
/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-1-xen-vserver-686 has been altered.  Cannot update.
16:root@taz:/boot> update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.18-1-xen-vserver-686
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-1-xen-vserver-686


- Line 14 is simply false, the file has been deleted on line 13.
- Shouldn't line 15 exit with >0 and at least suggest update-initramfs -c,
  since there is "no such file or directory"?
- Line 16 creates the initrd sucessfully.

I used yaird, if that makes a difference.

Regards,
Carsten
