[Bug 343735] [NEW] hooks/live tries to copy non-existing udevinfo

[Thilo Uttendorfer]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: live-initramfs

This problem happened to me when creating a NFSROOT with fai-setup
(package fai-server) with the result that no initrd.img is created. Here
is what I discovered:

The packkage udev used to ship udevinfo. It is at least since version
140-1 (jaunty) removed and you should use udevadm, as described in this
changlog:

---------------------------------------------
udev (117-3) hardy; urgency=low

  * Ship symlinks of old udevtrigger, udevsettle, udevinfo and udevmonitor
    tools to udevadm in the udeb.  Use of these should be replaced with
    calls to udevadm itself as soon as possible.

---------------------------------------------

The scipt /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/live in the package live-initramfs contains the following line:
   copy_exec /usr/bin/udevinfo /bin

This should be changed to udevadm. But I'm not sure if there are other
scripts that still call udevinfo instead of "udevadm info". If so, these
scripts should use udevadm, too.
