Package: debootstrap Version: 0.3.3.1 During a D-I install, I noticed the following error in the syslog:
debootstrap: Warning: obsolete force/refuse option `auto-select'
This seems to originate from the following code in the 'sid' script:
<snip (extra newlines added for readability)>
info UNPACKBASE "Unpacking the base system..."
smallyes '' |
(repeat 5 in_target_failmsg INST_BASE_FAIL_FIVE \
"Failure while installing base packages. This will be re-attempted up
to five times." "" \
dpkg --status-fd 8 --force-auto-select \
--force-overwrite --force-confold --skip-same-version \
--unpack $(debfor $base) 8>&1 1>&7 || echo EXITCODE $?) |
dpkg_progress $baseprog $bases UNPACKBASE "Unpacking base system" UNPACKING
info CONFBASE "Configuring the base system..."
</snip>
According to Joey Hess the option was removed in dpkg back in April.
The option should at least be removed in the sid script; probably not in
scripts for older Debian releases. Unsure about Ubuntu scripts.
Cheers,
