Hello Tomas, Am 2018-02-06 hackte [email protected] in die Tasten: >> I have installed on my ThinkPad T400 recently Stretch (base, xorg, wdm, >> fvwm, gthumb, blueman, alsa...) only to discover, that 17 Packages have >> missing Dependencies! > > the missing dependencies? I do not know currently, except that blueman depends on glib-x11 which is confirmed by the maintainer. It seems gthumb has the same dependency because sinde blueman is working gthumb too. The dependendies are only satisfait if you install a full DE like Gnome, KDE or other defaults by Debian. If you install the bare minimum like Debian base xorg wdm fvwmg thumb blueman alsa mc you have a non-working system! >> 11 Packages are now working and I try to figure out, WHICH depends are >> missing to write the appropriated Bug Reports. > > what does exactly mean "not working"?

Due to dependencies which are there, but the needed > packages can't be downloaded? yes, if you know, WHICH package you need, it can be installed manually which is already confirmed by 3 Package maintainers. They assumed, that Debian User install always a complete system, but where not thinking on users which do not need a full DE. Hence, some packages missing dependencies. I will install a second stretch in a VM and install only the minimum and then Package by Package to figure out, which dependencies are missing. It is a huge work, especially when I currently work in my 5,6ha forest on my BioFarm in Estonia (-10°C and 30cm snow). > Is this your problem?

So I installed the ISO bootable on the USB Stick and added the second ISO to it. But it does not work. Since my Interanet Server is also not running, I can not even install a local mirror. > Is this your problem? You can set a fixed IP address at install time, > or...
