Description: Debian Live initramfs hook
live-initramfs is a hook for the initramfs-tools, used to generate a
initramfs
capable to boot live systems, such as those created by live-helper.
This
includes the Debian Live isos, netboot tarballs, and usb stick images.
.
At boot time it will look for a (read-only) media containing a "/live"
directory where a root filesystems (often a compressed filesystem image
like
squashfs) is stored. If found, it will create a writable environment,
using
aufs or unionfs, for Debian like systems to boot from.
.
You probably do not want to install this package onto a non-live
system,
although it will do no harm.
.
live-initramfs is a fork of casper
<http://packages.ubuntu.com/casper/>.
This happened while doing a full Mint 12.04 LMDE LXDE 32bit reinstall
trying to recover from fatal usb storage reboot non-flush data corruption
(quite likely kernel issue, f*ck).
I installed base ISO, completed a dist-upgrade,
then grabbed the package list of the previous broken install
and installed all of those packages that were installable,
and at this step things failed.
Possibly something is missing a Conflicts: header somewhere,
or something else?
Thanks!
Andreas Mohr
