[Debconf-devel] Bug#581808: This bug could be a live-initramfs problem

[Jiří Paleček]

Hello,

this bug is apparently caused by this code in scripts/live from  
live-initramfs:


         DEBCONF_TMPDIR="$(chroot /root mktemp -dt debconf.XXXXXX)"
         cp -a /root/var/cache/debconf/config.dat "/root$DEBCONF_TMPDIR/"
         cp -a /root/var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat "/root$DEBCONF_TMPDIR/"
         sed "s,^Filename:  
/var/cache/debconf/\(config\|passwords\).dat$,Filename:  
$DEBCONF_TMPDIR/\1.dat,; /^Name: templatedb/a\
+Readonly: true" /root/etc/debconf.conf  
>"/root$DEBCONF_TMPDIR/debconf.conf"

I'm not really sure if the "+" has to be there, but if debconf never  
required (or allowed) "+" in the beginning of debconf.conf line, it  
probably shouldn't.

Regards
    Jiri Palecek
