Bug#879755: debootstrap fails with current sid without apt-transport-https and https URLs

2017-10-25 Thread Petr Cech
Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.91
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi,
apt 1.6~alpha removed binary package apt-transport-https and therefor 
debootstrap with a https URL fails with dependency error:

I: Checking component main on https://deb.debian.org/debian...
E: Couldn't find these debs: apt-transport-https

Following patch fixes it for current sid distribution.

No. The standard one has almost all SCSI drivers, but the others don't.

 drivers for SCSI drives, so you can't boot it on a IDE-only
 system.

yes, you can.

I was going to stop after the last email, but I found something
interesting:

If you use the (potato) udma66 floppy images, do a system install, and then
choose "make a boot floppy"...

that floppy WILL NOT WORK, to boot off an hpt/udma66 drive.

You have to change the syslinux.cfg to add the appropriate
APPEND ide2=0x,0x
hack.

( then it presumably wont be using the proper HPT updated driver, but at
  least you can get to the hpt drive again)


and since I'm replying publically after all now;

[ Petr Cech writes ]
 IIRC there is such script in every flavour dir
 there is a toplever install.bat, but ther are also
 {compact,idepci,udma66}/install.bat batch files to boot the correct
 kernel/root images

but that is not user-friendly at all. There should be a *single* unified
 .bat file at the top level, that prompts the user, with a brief
explaination as to why there is a choice.

Bug#73690: boot-floppies: apt configuration downloads package lists several times

 Installing latest stable (potato) on i386 servers during apt configuration
 after each apt source is added the package list is downloaded from each
 server. Then when dselect is started the package list is downloaded again.

it is? I think dselect only does it when you hit [U]pdate.

 This is no problem when installing on a 100 Meg link with one apt source,
 but is terrible on a shared modem with 4.

and anyway apt caches the Packages file and only downloads it if it's changed

Re: Installing with 2.4.0-test8 and devfs, problem with floppy

 So instead of having 2 different inittabs to choose from I changed
 init.c to cope with it. I also changed getty to cope with it (diff is

couldn't the rescue floppy have devfs packagem that installs the
"compatibility links" in /dev, so if init discovers it's running 2.4 kernel
with devfs it executes it and we have /dev/hda again.
And the documentation stays the same. You'll still have /dev/hda1 and not
/dev/ide/0/1 (or whatever).

 Hello world,
 
 Congratulations guys: -testing seems to hold nothing but praise for potato
 upgrades, looks good.

cool

 Is there anything more you're intending to do to b-f for potato,
 beyond 2.2.15? Alternately, do whatever changes you already have in CVS

I think m68k people wanted to do a release and there are some minor
enhacements and mostly doc updates.

 account for:
 
 critical bugs - outstanding
  * #64371: Smart Array RAID Compaq do not see at boot; 31 days old

1) I don't see, why it's critical
2) the -compact flavour should solve this

  * #64823: incorrect LILO automatic placement on i386; 22 days old

I think the subject is missleading. It only doesn't want to put LILO into
extended partition. Let's call it a feature :)

  * #65515: boot-floppies: update-modules requires /bin/bash; 8 days old

fixed modutils are in Incoming

 ? Or are these not really RC? (If the latter, please downgrade them
 appropriately)
 
 Basically, what I'm asking is, as far as source is concerned, are you
 ready to go? I realise you need to wait for updated base packages before
 you update all the arch dependent bf stuff. If you're not ready to go,
 you really really need to get that way in the next day or two.

I think we wait to tausq to upload -compact and -idepci flavor and for
corresponding pcmcia packages. And b-f has to be updatet for 2.2.16

 Feel free to reply to this list; I'm on it, I just don't follow it
 too carefully most of the time.
 
 Cheers,
 aj (acting release manager)

 Hello, found you on some archives... regarding boot problems
 
 are you aware that the current install disks, if one uses the hard drive
 method, using the larger .tgz files, the drivers.tgz contains 2.2.15
 kernel modules, while the vanilla and idepci kernels report being

really? That's strange.
(all files are relative to debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/2.2.15-2000-06-07)

linux - is vanilla 2.2.15 (with some patches)
drivers.tgz - modules for the above kernel. I've just checked, and they appear
to be the correct ones
idepci/linux - is the -idepci flavour
idepci/drivers.tgz - the same

 2.2.15-idepci. There's a mismatch and nothing can get configured for a
 proper install.

Are you sure, that you have the correct files?
idepci/linux - 610691 Jun  7 18:05 linux
idepci/drivers.tgz - 875868 Jun  7 18:05 drivers.tgz

48295d5826e00e857b4906ce55dfcf47  drivers.tgz

 I have a new machine I need to install today, and am looking for a
 drivers.tgz file that has the 2.2.15-idepci kernel modules.
 Any suggestions?.

try to get the correct files . It should work.

OK. Again wrong. The 2.88 images are really only for CD installs. They are
bootable themself and contain root.bin and the files from rescue.bin.

 panic, where it can't mount 01:00 , seems RAMDISK cant find valid ramdisk

of course, you need root.bin and NOT rescue.bin. So just get them from
images-1.44.
 no good.
