Bug#421078: linux-image-2.6.10: Does not find initramfs-tools

[Tobias Frost <tobi@coldtobi.de>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.20.3
Version: 3
Severity: normal

If initramfs-tools are installed, the kernel fails to install with this
message: 

Setting up linux-image-2.6.20-1-k7 (2.6.20-3) ...
Running depmod.
Finding valid ramdisk creators.
Failed to find suitable ramdisk generation tool for kernel version
2.6.20-1-k7 on running kernel 2.6.18 in /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.20-1-k7 (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 9


Interesting is, that it looked for yaird, but I purged yaird recently in
favor for initramfs-tools. 
According the dependencies, initramfs-tools should be an alternaive to
yaird and sufficient. 

dpkg -l intiramfs-tools yaird
