New strings in Debian Installer sublevels 1 to 3
Now that l10n updates and uploads happened in preparation of Debian Installer squeeze beta 1 release, I could add two new packages to the list of packages which templates are aggregated together in Debian Installer PO files: partmand-btrfs and partman-ufs These packages' strings are very similar to strings used in other partman-* packages, so most new strings are already pre-filled for many languages and just need minor updates to be complete again. There is no strict deadline to complete this, but I would urge D-I translators to do the update when possible. I really dream of D-I releases where I wouldn't have to prod late comers..:-) The statistics pages are currently being updated and you should soon get websec notices, for those of you who are subscribed to this "service". -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I suspect exim4 stay because it is the recommends of other packages (cron?).

Recommending an MTA in light of that doesn't seem unreasonable, in the abstract. But given that an MTA is useless for popcon's purposes if it is not configured, and that HTTP submission has a good chance of working "out of the box," I'm inclined to think downgrading that to a suggestion would be sensible. > An alternative would be to change pkgsel/pre-pkgsel.d/90popcon to not > install recommended packages.

Yes, I see that... what is it now, the --no-recommends switch is broken? What source package do these files go into, anyway? Google pointed me to the d-i.alioth.debian.org site, but if I do "apt-get source debian- installer", there's nothing like this in there. (I'd like to verify that the current installer is using the same revision of this script we're seeing in SVN.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I want to install a minimal Debian/squeeze system. When the installer presents the tasksel screen, I unselect everything, even "Standard system utilities".

Recommended packages *are* installed by default. We're just making an exception in this case as discussed in [1]. Given that the issue is already resolved, I'm closing this report.

No, it is not reasonable to ask packages to change functionally correct and policy-compliant dependencies only because of D-I [1]. popcon falls back to mail if the HTTP method fails, which does happen occasionally. Therefore a Recommends of an MTA is reasonable. Why do you feel the need to second-guess me on this? I spent several days analyzing the whole issue of Recommends and making various changes to deal with minor issues that arose from it. All changes where posted for review and discussed on the d-boot list. popcon is not the only package that needed an exception, so the --no-recommends option is needed anyway. Using it for popcon is a perfectly acceptable solution. So: as the reported issue is already fixed in current daily built D-I images and as the Recommends in popcon is functionally correct, there is absolutely zero need to make any changes in popcon. [1] The issue in D-I is mainly one of ordering: we install popcon before running tasksel and installing prio standard packages. The fact that we uninstall popcon if a user chooses not to participate is another weirdness in D-I which should not be reason to make any changes in the package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Installing from Etch floppies would be much > more sensible. So, I made a new try with installing Etch and then upgrading to Lenny. The first step, installing Etch worked fine, booting from Etch floppies and the installing from a Etch netinst cd. Then I upgraded to Lenny, according to the Lenny release notes in three steps: apt-get install apt aptitude aptitude safe-upgrade aptitude dist-upgrade No problems so far, upgrade completed without errrors or any glitches, but the new kernel was unable to boot (more exactly spoken: cannot find the root filesystem). It's an 2.6.26 kernel from debian linux image package (linux-image-2.6.26-486). System boot hangs at "Waiting for root filesystem ..." and then the debug shell comes up. The problem is: there are no ide related modules loaded, only some ACPI modules are loaded. Doing "modprobe ide_generic" makes the harddisk available, and closing the shell with exit let's the system boot continue fine. Can anyone tell me, why this happens? Should I file a bugreport?

Okay, now I'm a little confused. So I see in the pkgsel ChangeLog that you addressed this back in late February. And I see that the current d-i downloads (netboot in particular) are dated early July, the same for both sid and squeeze. So why did this problem come up at all?

I'm not sure what image was used by the bug reporter, but I assume a current "D-I alpha 1" image. The alpha1 images date from mid February. Until today, the version of pkgsel in testing was 0.26, which does not have my latest changes. This also means that current "squeeze_d-i" images still have the old version. As you can see from [1] my final work on Recommends handling in D-I was done _after_ the alpha1 release. I verified earlier today that with a daily built D-I image exim4 does not get pulled in when popcon is installed during pkgsel.

This is good to hear (as well as the fact that everyone wants to keep an MTA out of a minimal install).

Only a date change for some reason. The images are still identical to the alpha1 release from February. One way to see that is to check the kernel version: it uses 2.6.30 instead of 2.6.32. Another is to check the /etc/lsb-release file or the versions of udebs listed in /var/lib/dpkg/status. > But this same error would have occurred if I had used d-i from sid. When > you say "release," do you mean, from daily builds to unstable, rather > than unstable to testing? The error would *not* have occurred if you had used images based on D-I from sid. If you look at http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/, you will see three sets of links: - squeeze Alpha1 release (these are the ones you used) - current weekly snapshot - daily built images The first is the old release I was talking about and will soon be replaced with the new release. The second currently also still has the old version of pkgsel as weekly CD snapshots take udebs from testing and the current build is from last Monday (before the migrations of new versions done earlier today). The next build will use the new version (but is likely to be unusable because of the preparation for the new release which means that temporarily things from the old and new release will be mixed up and that is almost certain to cause breakage). The third set are the images that have the lastest version of all installer components from unstable. The page linked above is the only authoritative source for the various images available to install testing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

My understanding is that these were recently updated to fix the libblkid issue (see bug #587570), which had previously made the installer unusable. I guess they just re-built it from the same source as alpha1, modulo that one bit. > The error would *not* have occurred if you had used images based on > D-I from sid.

But the d-i images that are themselves in unstable and testing, those are formal, infrequently-updated "releases?" > The page linked above is the only authoritative source for the various > images available to install testing.

Oh, right---I see the different set of links, that go to various places (e.g. people.debian.org) not in the repositories.

Ah, so when you say "images based on D-I from sid," you mean a daily build of the installer image (which uses d-i and other components from sid), not the image that is itself in sid/squeeze (which would be the last release). I think I have it straight now :) So I need to wait for the next release of d-i images, and then for those to make their way into testing.
