Hi Paul, I've cc'd quite a number of folks/lists to make sure the netcfg part is tackled sooner than later (plus a few others for information).
Paul Schlüter <nemo.pa...@web.de> (2017-02-10): > * Packages network-manager-gnome (recommended by task-xfce-desktop) and > net-tools were not installed; > the installed package rdnssd is in conflict to network-manager. > (=> To setup a network connection I had to edit /etc/network/interfaces) This seems due to the Conflicts added in rdnssd indeed, because of: https://bugs.debian.org/740998 Unfortunately it doesn't seem like debian-boot@ people were available at the time to give some feedback… I think we need to be a bit more careful in this particular section of src:netcfg's netcfg/autoconfig.c: | /* And now we cleanup from rdnssd */ | if (ipv6) { | read_rdnssd_nameservers(interface); | if (nameserver_count(interface) > 0) { | di_exec_shell_log("apt-install rdnssd"); | } | } since that interferes with n-m's getting installed. Something we could do in netcfg would be: 1. Stop installing rdnssd forcefully at this point, and only set a flag for later use. 2. In finish-install.d/55netcfg-copy-config, where the /e/n/i and other settings copy is performed, we could check that flag and n-m's status; if the flag is set and n-m wasn't installed, install rdnssd. This should let n-m get installed even if netcfg detected that rdnssd /could/ be needed, and should let rdnssd get installed when n-m wasn't. Comments/better ideas? On a side note this shouldn't affect jessie since I had been skeptical of the ndisc6 pu request (#778492), which might not have been a bad idea… > * aptitude was not installed; I missed it. You can still apt-get install it. > * The touchpad behaves strange: I can move the mouse pointer but cannot > click. However, this may be a hardware problem. We've had several such reports but bug triaging still needs to happen… :/ KiBi.
