Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92o
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Whenever a new RAM disk is created (for instance with "update-initramfs -u -k
all"), the above mentioned "libc" files are missing in the image. If I use the package
"busybox", the kernel will panic because "libm.so" is not found, if I use
"busybox-static", it fails to find "libc.so.6" at an even earlier stage. The
computer has been running Etch with backports, and has been upgraded to Lenny
after Lenny became "stable". The two files are actually not included in the
generated RAM disks, while those RAM disks created with earlier versions of
"initramfs-tools" do contain them, and they work as expected if I replace any failing new one
with such an old one.

fiddling with libc6 is quite dangerous indeed.

closing as this box was clearly broken with ldd pointing
to an nonexisting libc6.
