Bug#692333: initramfs-tools: update-initramfs creates absolute symlink to /boot/initrd.img-..
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.109
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
After updating the kernel (via aptitude), update-initramfs is
called to generate a new initrd.img file:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-686-pae
Symlink /initrd.img is also created, but it points to
/boot/initrd.img-.. rather than to boot/initrd.img-.. This causes
a problem when, e.g., lilo is run with the filesystem mounted at
/foo, in which case /foo/initrd.img points to the wrong location.
(The kernel is set up correctly: /vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-..)
