Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.97
Severity: normal
Hi.
Same problem occured here during upgrade from 0.96 to 0.97.
Now, I am not even sure the machine will boot properly next time as apparently
rebuilding the initramfs failed.
root@halucigenia:~# sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/initramfs-tools.postinst
+ set -e
+ [ ! -e /etc/initramfs-tools/modules ]
+ [ x != xtriggered ]
+ dpkg --compare-versions ge 1.14.5ubuntu10~~
+ DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE= update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686
Eventually I found the notice in a previous post of this thread saying iscan
was the culprit.
I purged iscan, but the problem remained.
I purged iscan-data, too. Now, finally, it was possible to upgrade initramfs-
tools successfully.
I have emailed Epson support to inform them of the interference of their
drivers with the Debian system.
Regards
Andreas
