It shouldn't affect netinsts, no - the popcon numbers only affect ordering of packages that come after the tasks. >All I see in my logs are > + Trying to add doc-linux-text... > @dep before checklist = doc-linux-text > @dep after checklist = doc-linux-text > $output_size = 49686668, $size = 7814144 > >Also my mirror was only updated at the end of June so I guess something >there may have changed?
