[Bug 320626] [NEW] Some problems with mount --bind -o bind syntax

[adrian15]

Public bug reported:

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.

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.
