anna resolver and non-installable packages
Hi,
While testing the netboot version of debian-installer on GNU/kFreeBSD, I
am facing an issue with non-installable packages that are installed
anyway. The issue appears mainly with partman-*, though other
non-installable packages are installed anyway. For example partman-lvm
and partman-md complain that there is no lvm or raid support. The issue
might at some point arise on GNU/Linux, as for example partman-ufs is
not installable but installed.
This way of resolving the udeb dependencies differ from the one used to
create the d-i initrd, and this can cause some surprises depending on
the d-i flavors.
I am therefore proposing a small patch to the resolver:

The first part mark remove the "want install" status of packages that
are not installable and emit a warning in that case. The second part
change the check about non-existant packages, so that a non-existant
package is not ignored. Currently the only difference between an
existant and a non-existant package is the message in the logs.
While the first part seems to be a bug, the last part seems to be
something wanted. It is something that has been changed a few years
ago, but I don't know the reason.

- Make anna dependency resolver permissive again.
- Add an option to enable extensive debugging output.
Any comment on that?
Cheers,

Size of partition made by installer.
Hi, The partition made by installer with the option two partition (/ and /home) are not optimal in squeeze. Update made bring / to 100% very often and /home is half empty. My disk is 500 Gb and installer kept 6.5 Go for / (including /usr and /var), i think 10 Go should be a better choice.

If I remember correctly, Debian Edu depend on this behaviour to ensure the same udeb can be used to order the main-menu entries for both DVD and netinst CD installation. The Debian Edu udeb have dependencies that are missing on the DVD and only used when installing using PXE and the netinst CD. Because of this, I believe this should not be changed just before the release and after the freeze, but instead early in the next release cycle.

Bug#472704: Failure while configuring base packages -- But why?
Could someone change the title of this bug to something more explicit,
like:
"Dependencies not fetched; unexplained failure"
(I know they are explained in debootstrap.log), and maybe raise its
priority.
Btw, I don't really understand the following concept:
--no-resolve-deps
By default, debootstrap will attempt to automatically
resolve any missing dependencies, warning if
any are found. Note that this is not a complete
dependency resolve in the sense of dpkg or apt,
and that it is far better to specify the entire base
system than rely on this option. With this
option set, this behaviour is disabled.
What is the point of partially resolving deps ?
The issue is likely to be in the functions script :
resolve_deps () {
local m1="${MIRRORS%% *}"
# XXX: I can't think how to deal well with dependency
resolution and
# lots of Packages files. -- aj 2005/06/12
c="${COMPONENTS%% *}"
This only keeps the first component, so if multiple components are used,
--components=main,contrib
and a package from contrib is added in the list of required packages,
its dependencies _will_not_be_fetched_,
thus resulting in the error.
Sincerely

The package is theoretically not installable (due to loop-aes-modules being outdated compared to the kernel version), so users get the possibility to create a loop-AES partition. When they validate the partition, a cryptic error message appears only explaining that the operation has failed, but not explaining why. Users should simply not be presented the option in such case.

partman-auto: partition sizes too small
We recently had installation reports where the size of either the root
partition (in the "separated / and /home" recipe) or the /usr
partition (in the "multi" recipe) are too small to fit a full desktop
installation.
Attached is a rather conservative patch to those recipes that raises
the max size of / to 10Gb (in "home" recipe) ad that of /usr to 9Gb
(in the "multi" recipe).
I didn't make any precise calculation: I just roughly guessed this
would be OK.so feel free to alter these sizes to whatever is
appropriate. But, what's important: we MUST change these defaults.
PS: there is at least one reported bug, which I assigned to
partman-auto, that mentioned these "too small partition" problems.
PS2: the same should probably done to partman-auto-lvm
PS3: sorry for sending this without any full check, without the
rightbug numbers...and for not committing the needed change, but
working offline with a 5 minutes connection window each day at the
local McDonalds restaurant doesn't help working very efficiently..:-)

Sounds good to me. The current sizes led me to troublesome musical chair games with some packages to avoid hitting ENOSPC, a few times already, even though I'm not a heavy user of desktop packages… > PS3: sorry for sending this without any full check, without the > rightbug numbers...and for not committing the needed change, but > working offline with a 5 minutes connection window each day at the > local McDonalds restaurant doesn't help working very > efficiently..:-) sd to the rescue! http://syncwith.us/sd/ http://penta.debconf.org/dc10_schedule/events/591.en.html (OK that's still WIP but you get the idea ;)) Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Bug#593806: os-prober: os-prober creates an unbootable entry
Package: os-prober
Version: 1.39
Severity: important
On an old computer I still use Sarge from time to time (my TV card
doesn't work in any later version...). I can boot the system with no
problem with chainloading, but I'm unable to boot it directly,
although the entries look correctly, e.g.
menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux (3.1) (on /dev/sdb2)" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd1,msdos2)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set f5ce7115-77d3-433c-9abc-a604aba64dce
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-3-k7 root=/dev/sdb2
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.20-3-k7
}
After selecting the entry the computer reboots with no error message.
Regards
JSB
