Given that it is C code built on each architecture, we maybe can only enable it on Hurd and GNU/kFreeBSD until squeeze is released. > > The issue appears mainly with partman-*, though other > > non-installable packages are installed anyway.

The package is theoretically not installable (due to loop-aes-modules being outdated compared to the kernel version), so users get the possibility to create a loop-AES partition.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.

Even if the dependency is ignored, it won't work... -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 [email protected] http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
