  Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
+ Binary package hint: busybox
+ Binary package hint: live-initramfs
  
- This is a somewhat vaporware bug because it is not very clear to which
- package it is the bug from.
+ 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://forja.rediris.es/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=255&group_id=428&atid=1577
  (A tar.gz with the patch is available to download in the url).
  
  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.
