It is not handled by apt. And apt is used to build d-i images. It works only because currently libraries are required to be installed on host to build image, and apt uses information from host's status while resolving udeb dependences. It's complete mess IMO. >> However, this confuses me. Why Depends: of udebs do ANYTHING with what is >> installed on host? Versioned dependency on libdebian-installer4 is not >> the single example.

So why udebs don't depend on libc-udeb, libdebian-installer4-udeb, etc? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
