Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.85b
Severity: minor

I just tried

update-initramfs -k 2.6.18 -u

when I didn't have an initrd, and got the error:

/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18 has been altered.  Cannot update.

It should instead tell me that the file was missing. Changing -u to -c
made it create the initrd as normal.
