In the interests of clarity ....
The error was as follows:
Package console-data has no available version, but exists in the database. This
typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never
uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of
sources.list.
I believe this was caused because console-data was in unstable, but not testing
and I had unstable pinned so that I can only explicitly download from unstable
(e.g., apt-get -d install console-data/unstable).
/etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing,o=Debian
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable,o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -10
The preferences file I'm using for boot-floppies as provided by my patch is
non-existent.
The patch you applied fixes this problem
Thanks,
Stephen
