Package: live-build Version: 4.0.4-1 The installer_debian-installer script, on line 67, tries to ensure that the wget package is installed and available by using the custom dependency manager facilities built into live-build. However, this check is insufficient.
Live-build's custom dependency checking system only ensures that dependencies exist within the chroot environment, unless the user has opted out of using a chroot environment (only applicable where possible), in which case it checks the host. The wget package is always run from the host however, so checking its existence within the chroot is pointless. furthermore, no check at all is applied for the chroot_firmware script, which also uses wget in a similar way. As long as wget is used from the host and not within chroot, the existing check should be scrapped, and wget added as a dependency for the live-build package itself. I feel that 'depends' is the correct section to place it in, since it is necessary for a significant portion of functionality (installer and live fs firmware components), as per debian policy. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
