Bug#427656: linux-image-2.6.21-1-686: The sub run_hook is something strange
Package: linux-image-2.6.21-1-686
Version: 2.6.21-4
Severity: important
I'm using debian unstable. Since some time ago, when I try to upgrade my kernel (like: aptitude install
linux-image-2.6.21) i get the message:
Could not find postinst hook script [usr/sbin/update-grub].
Looked in: '/bin', '/sbin', '/usr/bin', '/usr/sbin'
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.21-1-686 (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-image-2.6.21-1-686
The problem lies on the sub run_hook on the postinstall script.
The trouble part is that:
# Look for it in a safe path
for my $path ('/bin', '/sbin', '/usr/bin', '/usr/sbin') {
if (-x "$path/$script") {
&exec_script($type, "$path/$script");
return 0;
}
}
If I strip the path thing from the script like that:
&exec_script($type, "$script");
it works ok.
