Package: boot-floppies Version: N/A; reported 2002-04-24 Severity: critical Tags: patch Justification: breaks unrelated software
I did a new install of woody using the cvs from a few days ago. After rebooting and configuring the base system, I saw a few conflicts as packages were being unpacked. I wrote some bugs against those packages, and it turned out that base-config was installing potato packages, not woody. Those conflicted with the woody packages that had already been installed by debootstrap. After investigation, I found that the dbootstrap_settings file created by dbootstrap did not have executable permissions. This causes base-config to assume a stable system, because the variables contained in the file are not set. I patched util.c in cvs to chmod the file after creating it. Woody must not release without a new build of boot-floppies! This would be serious egg on the face. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: powerpc Kernel: Linux iMacBlue 2.4.16-newpmac #1 Mon Jan 7 20:51:25 EST 2002 ppc Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
