It helps for the installers to continue to be tolerant of symlinks in / when possible, since then they can deal with either unchanged or changed rootskel. This means that the dependency is only one-way rather than two-way, which gives us more freedom in selecting udebs to propagate to testing. It's also very easy to be tolerant, if my experiences with yaboot-installer are any guide. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
