conf.d/resume creation in preinst doesn't work

[Jan Mynarik]

In preinst, conf.d/resume is created if file $RESUME exists but this doesn't work if RESUME was previously set to UUID=<something>. The test should be changed from -e to -n . Changed here and works.

Forgot to mention I found this while experiencing other problems:

Nice catch. It's too late to get this fix in for Edgy but, thankfully, in the majority of cases, conf.d/resume should be written by the installer(s), and the preinst being somewhat braindead won't be a huge issue. Will get it fixed first thing in feisty, though.

OK. By the way, I suggest moving conf.d/resume creation (if doesn't exist) to postinst. That was my problem, I had no conf.d/resume (probably due to some upgrades) and I had to create it either manually or by uninstalling (with --force-depends) and installing initramfs-tools.

This bug was fixed in the package initramfs-tools - 0.92bubuntu1

---------------
initramfs-tools (0.92bubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - Change Build-Depends to Build-Depends-Indep.
    - Use busybox-initramfs for Depends.
    - Do not source udev.conf.
    - Set BUSBOXDIR properly.
    - Keep kinit and gzip in initrd.
    - Use -Qb for for module loading to honor blacklists via the use of
      MODPROBE_OPTIONS.
    - all_generic_ide script.
    - Remove lvm local-top script (conflicts with lvm-common).
    - takeover=1 in update-initramfs.
    - Allow the mounting of a root filesystem as a loop device on top
      of a host filesystem, used for wubi installs.
    - Add vfat support to the initramfs.
    - Reduce timeout to 30 seconds -- corner cases (giant
      disk arrays, clusters) will need to provide their own rootdelay=
      boot arg.
    - Keep more meaningful text for no root device panic.
    - Provide a clearer error on mount failure of the Windows host
      filesystem.
    - Add 2>&1 to the run-init line.
    - Source /scripts/functions in resume script.
    - resume UUID upgrade.
    - Add mountroot failure support, to allow meaningful messages when
      no root device can be found.
    - Panic if either the root device doesn't exist, or vol_id cannot
      identify it. Allows for mountroot failure hooks for md devices
      to be displayed.
    - Ignore blacklist for forced vga= usage.
    - Loop for 5 seconds waiting for $suspend to show up, adjustable
      with the resumedelay= command-line arg.
    - Load virtio_pci for MODULES=most.
    - Usplash pulsates until the real init takes over.
    - Drop scripts/init-premount/thermal as force_load can do this
      for us during initramfs creation.
    - Load thermal modules on lpia.
    - Allow for alternative PREREQS to be specified using | as the
      separator.
    - Add udf to auto_add_modules. It was originally added to
      dep_add_modules, however dep_add_modules now auto-detects the
      modules needed for the root filesystem.
  * hook-functions:
    - Refer to /lib/firmware/${version} where version is the kernel
      version we are building an initramfs for.
    - Do not copy /lib/udev/firmware.agent to the initramfs. Ubuntu's
      udev has /lib/udev/firmware_helper instead, and the udev hook
      copies this to the initramfs for us.
    - Dropped the manual_add_firmware function, as initramfs-tools now
      checks the firmware field in the module it is copying, and copies
      the firmware required by that module if its available.
  * Drop hooks/keymap and the KEYMAP variable setting in
    conf/initramfs.conf as console-setup takes care of keymap loading.
  * hooks/udevhelper: Drop, udev already copies what it needs.
  * hooks/legacylvm: Drop, as it refers to binaries and directories our
    lvm package doesn't have.
