Hi Matthieu, hi Adam,
The set of packages you uploaded contains uninstallable udebs, as they
depend on sgml-base, which doesn't exist in the installer context
(there's no udeb for it. Current dependencies are as follows:
$ dpkg --info libnl-3-200-udeb_3.7.0-0.1_amd64.udeb|grep Depends
Depends: sgml-base (>= 1.28), libc6-udeb (>= 2.34)
$ dpkg --info libnl-genl-3-200-udeb_3.4.0-1+b1_amd64.udeb|grep Depends
Depends: libnl-3-200-udeb (= 3.4.0-1+b1), libc6-udeb (>= 2.28)
This leads to the following build failure for the daily builds of the
installer:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libnl-3-200-udeb : Depends: sgml-base (>= 1.28) but it is not installable
libnl-genl-3-200-udeb : Depends: sgml-base (>= 1.28) but it is not
installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
(Note that I'm filing this bug report against only one of those udebs.)
This is not your fault, that's debhelper's #1015263:
https://bugs.debian.org/1015263
but I thought I'd loop you in so that you know about this issue, and
about my current plan: the installer team (X-D-Cc'd) doesn't require an
immediate fix, but since I'm not sure when the debhelper bug is getting
fixed (and packages binNMU'd), I thought I'd prepare a workaround to
make sure this source package isn't a blocker when we plan for a Debian
Installer release.
I'll upload shortly, source debdiff attached. Please let me know if you
have any comments or questions.
In passing, thanks for your work on this package!
Cheers,
