Package: base-config Version: 2.00 Severity: minor The package description for base-config says: """ It can be removed with no ill effects -- once your Debian system is installed, this package's only useful function is to allow you to reconfigure some things. """
This is no longer true now that passwd (a required package) depends on base-config. You would get warnings/errors if you tried to remove base-config at this point. -Ivan -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux debian 2.4.23 #1 Sun Nov 30 21:11:49 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages base-config depends on: ii adduser 3.51 Add and remove users and groups ii apt 0.5.14 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii bsdutils 1:2.12-6 Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite ii console-data 2002.12.04dbs-25 Keymaps, fonts, charset maps, fall ii console-tools 1:0.2.3dbs-44 Linux console and font utilities ii debconf 1.3.22 Debian configuration management sy ii passwd 1:4.0.3-14 Change and administer password and -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
