Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.98.4
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

If I try to install a non-modular kernel
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools tries to build an initrd image
and fails, because no modules are found. Please apply the attached patch
(or a similar one) to disable it for that case.

Thanks,

Guido

Subject: [PATCH] Don't try build initramfs on non-modular kernel

If the kernel is build without modules support (for example for a
virtual machine) then there's no point in trying to build an initrd
image.

If INITRD is set to 'No', postinst hook just exits, thus closing.

thank you for your report.
