- Subject: initramfs-tools: returns error when attempting to remove an already removed initrd
- From: Arthur Marsh <arthur.marsh@internode.on.net>

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.2
Severity: normal
I was trying to remove a 2.6.27 kernel I had built from source and somehow the
initrd was removed before initramfs-tools tried to remove it.
This resulted in a failure to remove the kernel from the packaging system.
See also bug #524499. The error message I was left with was:
> > Cannot delete /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27, doesn't exist.
> > run-parts: /etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 1
> > dpkg: error processing linux-2.6.27 (--purge):
> > subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1
> > Errors were encountered while processing:
> > linux-2.6.27
> > E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
>
> So this is a problem with
> /etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs-tools
>
> > I temporarily added "exit 0" to the start of
> > /etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs-tools to force the removal of
> > kernel-2.6.27.
>
> Right. We need to get the script in
> /etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs-tools
> fixed. Any idea where it came from?
