[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#668650: sysvinit: mtab link breaks some setup with initramfs

[Vincent Danjean]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.88dsf-22
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

  Hi,

  As explained in #668616, replacing /etc/mtab by a symlink to /proc/mounts
can make initramfs unable to create initrd with some setup (ie when MODULES=dep
that is not the default setup).
  Can you add "Breaks: initramfs-tools << version_where_668616_will_be_fixed"?
It will avoid problems during squeeze->wheezy upgrades if package were
installed in the wrong order with the MODULES=dep initramfs setup.

I will add a 'block' relation as soon as I will have the bug number of this one.

  Regards,
    Vincent
