X-Debbugs-Cc: busy...@packages.debian.org, debian-l...@lists.debian.org, 1107...@bugs.debian.org It was recently discovered that the wget-udeb package and the busybox-wget from its udeb package both install the same binary. The fix in busybox 1:1.37.0-6 is a targeted fix to disable the busybox-wget, such that the current version of wget is used in the d-i installer. If this unblock is not granted, building the Debian installer from pure trixie code results in FTBFS In live-build, I've explicitly used the -6 version of busybox and was able to have all build tests in Jenkins pass again. openQA shows that the installer is still working as intended. The risks are minimal, only this udeb package, which only affects the Debian installer, is modified. More documentation in #1107392 and debian-live: https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2025/06/msg00003.html
