Bug#465760: initramfs-tools: Needs to create /lib/modules/${version}/modules.dep in initramfs in case no modules are required
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.91d
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
this bug is un update to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=393688
If your kernel configuration is such that no modules are required in
the initramfs then /lib/modules/${version}/modules.dep is never created and on boot
you get some noisy message:
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/${version}/modules.dep: No such file or directory
(several times)
the dirty fix is below
