2009-02-12 10:02:13 Oliver Grawert description Binary package hint: ubiquity between copying the filesystem and removal of packages it can happen that the initramfs is rebuilt. in such cases the file /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/compcache (owned by casper which wasnt removed yet) is still in place which results in an installed system with compcache enabled ... since compcache should only be used by the liveCD or if the user explicitly sets compcache size in initramfs.conf this is unexpected behavior which should be fixed. Binary package hint: ubiquity between copying the filesystem and removal of packages it unconditionally happens that the initramfs is rebuilt. in such cases the file /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/compcache (owned by casper which wasnt removed yet) is still in place which results in an installed system with compcache enabled ... since compcache should only be used by the liveCD or if the user explicitly sets compcache size in initramfs.conf this is unexpected behavior which should be fixed.
2009-02-12 10:06:23 Colin Watson description Binary package hint: ubiquity between copying the filesystem and removal of packages it unconditionally happens that the initramfs is rebuilt. in such cases the file /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/compcache (owned by casper which wasnt removed yet) is still in place which results in an installed system with compcache enabled ... since compcache should only be used by the liveCD or if the user explicitly sets compcache size in initramfs.conf this is unexpected behavior which should be fixed. ubiquity builds the initramfs after copying the live filesystem, but before removing casper. One consequence of this is that /conf.d/compcache is left around in the installed system's initramfs, resulting in an installed system with compcache enabled. This is unexpected: compcache should only be used by the live CD, or if the user explicitly sets a compcache size in initramfs.conf.
