Bug#512413: Missing program (wc) in initramfs hook for live-initramfs
Package: live-initramfs
Version: 1.154.3-1
Severity: normal
The following error is displayed during a debug live boot.
/init: line 191: wc: not found
In order to solve the problem I added the following line in initramfs
hook for live-initramfs (hooks/live).
copy_exec /usr/bin/wc /bin
Note: wc is used by scripts/init (in the initramfs) to count lines and
words.
-- Package-specific info:
I discover the error on a live-initramfs installed in ubuntu (while
trying to replace casper by live-initramfs), but as the same program (wc)
is missing on the version 1.154.5-1 2009-01-12 just downloaded from the
git repository I think it worths to be reported here as well.
