Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.87b Severity: critical Tags: patch Justification: make any xen system unbootable Latest glibc package moved optimized libraries from /lib/tls/i686 to /lib/i686, so the copy_exec function's euristic fails to translate it to a non optimized version. With libc6-i686 installed the resulting image is still working because the installed libraries are on search path, but with libc6-xen installed the resulting image is unbootable because some libraries required by busybox are in /lib/i686/nosegneg instead of /lib The attached patch solves the problem on my system, but a more robust solution is auspicable.
