Package: base-installer Version: unavailable; reported 2003-09-26 Severity: normal Tags: d-i
The fix for #210915 seems to have introduced a new bug. Multiple packages seem to apt-install discover, which then gets put in the queue multiple times. Since we do separate installation of every package in the queue, this means discover is first installed once, then attempted installed again like five times (which can take _time_ on a slow machine -- the start-up cost of apt-get install is quite high). I propose that we do one of the following: 1) "sort | uniq" the queue before we start installing it (not sort -u! see bug #167473 :-) ). Is this sane? Do we guarantee anything about the installed order of packages that are queued? 2) make apt-install grep for a package when queueing, and not include it if it's already there. If nobody protests, I guess I'll go ahead and make a patch that implements solution 2 -- I'm a bit busy right now, so I'm adding the bug entry here so we won't forget about it :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux trofast.sesse.net 2.4.22 #7 Fri Sep 5 00:09:43 CEST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
