Bug#324162: lvm2create_initrd.gz does not filter linux-gate.so.1 when calculating library dependencies

[Michael Stilkerich]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.01.14-1
Severity: minor

Linux 2.6 includes some kind of gateway between user and kernel space. This is
realized via a ghost library linux-gate.so.1.

lvm2create_initrd.gz calls ldd to determine the required libraries.
The ldd result includes linux-gate.so.1 in the form
linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
which breaks the following awk expression and makes the created initrd useless.

Please fix this issue, e.g. by adding grep -v 'linux-gate.so.1' to the pipe
between ldd and awk.

Note that linux-gate might be called different on other architectures. See
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0306.2/0674.html
for more information on this topic.
