Package: quik
Version: 2.1-9
Severity: serious
Tags: d-i
Justification: Policy 3.9.1, breaks debian-installer
Currently when a user does an installation using debian-installer on a
PowerPC OldWorld machine, the installation will hang during the
installation of quik.
Reason is that quik prompts on stdout and the user has no way to
respond to that prompt.
Policy 3.9.1 says:
| Prompting should be done by communicating through a program, such as
| debconf, which conforms to the Debian Configuration management
| specification, version 2 or higher. Prompting the user by other means,
| such as by hand[8], is now deprecated.
Please change to using debconf for the prompt to avoid breaking installs,
or at least do not prompt the user if debconf is in use. The later
solution is implemented in the patch below.
