Package: netselect-apt Version: 0.3.ds1-24 Severity: grave Tags: squeeze Justification: renders package unusable
If netselect-apt/testing is used with netselect/stable, the following error occurs: Using distribution stable.

Or the servers test are actively blocking ICMP and/or UDP traceroute probes. ===================================================================================== Apparently, the -D option is only in the testing branch of netselect. I can see two solutions: 1. Make sure netselect-apt can use netselect with or without the -D option. 2. Create a dependency link between netselect/testing and netselect-apt/testing. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers testing APT policy: (1000, 'testing'), (1000, 'stable'), (995, 'stable'), (750, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'oldstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages netselect-apt depends on: ii netselect 0.3.ds1-24 speed tester for choosing a fast n ii wget 1.12-2.1 retrieves files from the web Versions of packages netselect-apt recommends: ii curl 7.21.6-3 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS or Versions of packages netselect-apt suggests: pn dpkg-dev <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
