Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock Please unblock package amd64-microcode Unfortunately, both amd64-microcode and intel-microcode can trigger a very nasty bug in initramfs-tools that renders the initramfs unusable, and therefore may make the system unbootable. It will only happen when initramfs-tools is incapable of creating ORDER files (e.g. because of noexec $TMPDIR or noexec /tmp with $TMPDIR unset), so it should be pretty rare. But still, the consequences are dire... kinda like some of the processor errata the packages fix, I suppose :-) This has bitten an user of intel-microcode. Please refer to bug #689301 and #688794. This upload works around the bug in initramfs-tools, which is the safest way to go about it (especially considering backports). debdiff attached. diffstat: changelog | 9 +++++++++ initramfs.init-premount | 2 +- rules | 7 +++++-- 3 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) unblock amd64-microcode/1.20120910-2 -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.31+ (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

That mail should then have been sent to the two bugs instead of d-release. Both are now unblocked, thanks for your work! Kind regards Philipp KernAttachment: signature.asc
