Posted: Jun 21, 10, 5:09    initramfs-tools 0.97 fails to update
I, and a few others, have had a problem updating initramfs-tools from 0.96.1 to 0.97 (see www.sidux.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=21195 ). Not everyone has the bug and I've updated hypnos in virtualbox without any problems. I've reported the bug (
bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=586554 ) but am struggling to provide the developer with a clue to what's causing it. From the sidux thread there are 4 people with the issue (bot 32bit and 64bit). I've gone back to a testing version as an interim.

Is anyone else having the problem here?

Running antiX with Sid repos. No problems with initramfs-tools 0.97.

seems fine though I do see one small glitch report, probably the result of sloppy pre/post install script testing or something:

This is 32 bit system, check to see if users are running 64 bit, and make sure you find issues with non sidux systems in case sidux screwed something up.

From the sidux thread it looks like three 64 bit and one 32 bit. How 'old' is your install that you're checking the update? I had no problems with a fresh virtualbox hypnos install, just an older pomtos install.

this is an old modified 2005-04 32 bit. Less and less sidux stuff left on it though. No slh kernels.

The problem appears to be failing hooks from iscan - so the only advice is remove iscan which isn't helpful to those with sane unsupported scanners
