Bug#814648: linux kernel backports broken

[Antoine Beaupré <anarcat@debian.org>]

Control: found -1 4.5.4-1~bpo8+1

Hi,

I still see this problem in debian jessie right now. I can't install the
linux kernel backport.

cp: impossible d'évaluer « /boot/initrd.img-4.5.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 »: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

The initrd is simply not in the .deb:

[1043]anarcat@angela:~$ dpkg -c /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-4.5.0-0.bpo.2-amd64_4.5.4-1~bpo8+1_amd64.deb | grep initrd
[1044]anarcat@angela:~1$ 

In fact, it's not in any of the last uploads:

$ for image in /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-4.*bpo8+1_amd64.deb; do echo $image;  dpkg -c $image | grep initrd; done
/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-4.3.0-0.bpo.1-amd64_4.3.5-1~bpo8+1_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-4.4.0-0.bpo.1-amd64_4.4.6-1~bpo8+1_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-4.5.0-0.bpo.1-amd64_4.5.1-1~bpo8+1_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-4.5.0-0.bpo.2-amd64_4.5.4-1~bpo8+1_amd64.deb

I don't understand how anyone can use any of those backports without a
initrd.

Does *anyone* run linux backports on jessie right now?

A.
