[Bug 2037156] [NEW] initramfs-tools 0.142ubuntu12 fails on upgrade: wrong multiarch libdir Edit

[Thomas Schiex]

Public bug reported:

I just upgraded my system from Lunar to Mantic. initramfs is
systematically producing messages such as:

  E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/dhcpcd failed with return 1.

Looking into the corresponding bash script shows that the penultimate
line produces an incorrect result:

  multiarch_dir=$(ldd /usr/sbin/dhcpcd | awk '/libc.so./ { print $3 }' |
cut -f3 -d/)

stores "lib" instead of x86_64-linux-gnu in my case.

the correct line (tested) should be:

  multiarch_dir=$(ldd /usr/sbin/dhcpcd | awk '/libc.so./ { print $3 }' |
cut -f4 -d/)


since ldd produces 

        libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
(0x00007f5baec00000)
