Bug Description
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
Binary package hint: busybox
Binary package hint: live-initramfs
This is a somewhat metabug because it is not very clear to which package it is the bug from.
The bug is explained here: https:/
Here there is a summary:
Whenever you try to set up: Fully Automatic Installation (FAI) package in Ubuntu 8.10 to server Ubuntu 8.10 (instead of default Ubuntu 8.04) the initramfs-tools scripts that are run at boot uses sometimes the new mount syntax:
mount --bind syntax instead of the old one mount -o bind that should one. Sometimes it is viceversa.
In my opinnion FAI uses live-initramfs package but it does not matter because live-initramfs uses some of the initramfs-tools scripts whenever running its mkinitrd equivalent.
The patch it is designed so that you can use it interactively whenever you try to install an installation client.
There are also problems about ld.so.conf configuration being lost without any apparent reason.
