[Pkg-raspi-maintainers] Bug#968621: raspi-firmware: installing via vmdb2 now fails with Debian testing

[Florian La Roche]

Package: raspi-firmware
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: florian.laroche at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

using vmdb2 to cross-install a raspberry-pi image used to work fine,
but fails now with Debian testing:


/etc/kernel/postinst.d/z50-raspi-firmware:
findmnt: can't read /proc/mounts: No such file or directory
run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/z50-raspi-firmware exited with return code 1


The following is the relevant source code. Seems it tries to cope with
an empty "ROOTPART", but still the script is exited with an error and
installation is aborted:


# Default configurations, overridable at /etc/default/raspi-firmware
CMA=64M
ROOTPART=`findmnt -n --output=source /`
if [ -z "$ROOTPART" ]; then ROOTPART=/dev/mmcblk0p2;fi
KERNEL="auto"
INITRAMFS="auto"
CONSOLES="auto"
if [ -r /etc/default/raspi-firmware ]; then
        . /etc/default/raspi-firmware
fi


best regards,

Florian La Roche
