Package: linux-image-2.6-686
Version: 2.6.29+19
Severity: serious

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

The post-installation script for the 2.6.29 kernel fails,
leaving the package not cofigured.

Looks like both update-initramfs and mkinitrd.yaird are
called with wrong arguments (respectively -m and -t).

I have installed initramfs-tools 0.93.2 and yard 0.0.13-5.

Below, the error:


# dpkg --configure -a
Setting up linux-image-2.6.29-2-686 (2.6.29-4) ...
