Package: login
Version: 4.0.13-7
Severity: normal
Hi,
debootstrap installs all packages with a priority of required, including
the login package. As we discussed earlier, login itself is provided by
the Hurd package, and su is provided by coreutils for the GNU/Hurd port,
so the login package is not getting used much if at all. As there are
no arch-specific overrides yet, debootstrap fails like this:
dpkg: error processing var/cache/apt/archives/login_1%3a4.0.13-7_hurd-i386.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/su.1.gz', which is also in
package coreutils
Thus I think we should cease to build the login package on hurd-i386 at
all, at least until arch-specific overrides have been put into place
(I've been told somebody is working on them, but it might take time).
What do you think?
Michael
