Bug#847991: initramfs-tools: upgrade to stretch in kvm image fails when trying to copy 70-persistent-net.rules
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.120+deb8u2
Severity: important
Hi there,
I've tried upgrading a VM from jessie to stretch and I'm having an issue with
initramfs-tools.
The upgrade is from 0.120+deb8u2 to 0.125. The system is a KVM image of debian
jessie (vanilla debian install with only mysql-server installed on top)
During the upgrade I got the following error message:
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.120+deb8u2) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64
cp: omitting directory ‘/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules’
E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev failed with return 1.
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64 with 1.
dpkg: error processing package initramfs-tools (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
initramfs-tools
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
after that, I've tried running apt -f install and got:
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.120+deb8u2) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64
cp: cannot stat ‘/etc/modprobe.d/*’: No such file or directory
cp: omitting directory ‘/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules’
E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev failed with return 1.

Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.24-7) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:

which seems to be blocking on the same error, just with one more warning.
FWIW, 70-persistent-net.rules is a directory but is emtpy.
I've set priority to "important" since it seems to be blocking upgrade, but I
don't know if this applies to more architectures.
