On IRC Riku gave the answer: openssh is simply not in testing yet, so this is just an "armel is still a toddler and may sometimes fall down while learning to walk" issue. I agree that D-I could warn when required packages cannot be installed, but that is ATM simply not a feature supported by apt-install. It is something that was recently discussed in this very same BR and some ideas were offered, so it may well be added at some point. The solution for now is to see if openssh can be migrated to testing manually for armel only as openssh should remain blocked for other arches until Beta1 is out. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
