Comment 52 for bug 828731

This bug was fixed in the package kexec-tools - 1:2.0.1-1ubuntu5

---------------
kexec-tools (1:2.0.1-1ubuntu5) lucid-proposed; urgency=low

  * Backport changes to fix kdump functionality. LP: #828731.
    - debian/kdump.initramfs: call /usr/bin/makedumpfile via a chroot command,
      so that if makedumpfile is statically linked, we get proper library
      resolution. Thanks to Louis Bouchard <email address hidden> for
      the patch. LP: #785425.
    - debian/kdump.initramfs: handle the possibility that /usr, /boot, or
      /var is on a separate filesystem and needs to be manually mounted before
      calling makedumpfile. LP: #828731.
    - Depend on makedumpfile, without which the initramfs script doesn't work.
    - Fix an unnecessary bashism.
    - Only install the kdump initramfs script and depend on makedumpfile on
      architectures that makedumpfile supports.
