It seems it broke powerpc as well.
amiga-fdisk problems are reported left and right, maybe I should do something about it. I don't know much about the debian-installer, for the boot-floppies we have an amiga-fdisk-bf package, which does not require libreadline4, can't we use this package instead of amiga-fdisk? libreadline4: is it a bug that it was removed from debootstrap, or is it a bug that amiga-fdisk needs it? I know there is a problem with libreadline4 not be of priority required, my favorite solution would be to make libreadline4 required, would it be included in debootstrap then? Another solution might be to create an amiga-fdisk udeb, with or without libreadline4, but I don't know if that would help in making sure that a full featured amiga-fdisk (ie using libreadline4) would be installed on the system after the installation has finished. I will try to release an amiga-fdisk package that fixes most of these problems, any suggestions, hints to create a udeb, if needed, welcome.
