I can see why this is broken for zlib1g (removing zlib1g results in removing some essential packages), but it works for me with debfoster. In any case, it would make more sense piuparts did not remove the package if it already was installed. The only other way I see for it to get the dependencies separate from installing the latest version of the package (required at least for the current implementation of --warn-on-others) is to generate a metapackage that has the same dependencies as the packages we want to install. This way, piuparts installs the metapackage, runs "apt-get -f install", removes the metapackage, updates the chroot metadata, and then installs the packages we actually want to test. I'm working on this now, but if someone has a better idea, please pipe in! -- John Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
