Yes, I am upset, because I've explained too many times already why it is not a bug in base-files, and why trying to fix it in base-files would be a complete and ugly hack, and yet people keep filing bugs about base-files, killing the messenger, so to speak. > A bug is nothing bad, it's just an id to track things... > > Also, you ignored a quite significant part of Adams mail: I decided to reply in a second email that you can read now. > So, I'd also propose to revert this in base-files _and_ then also fix it in > debootstrao for jessie. Please tell me what do you mean by "revert". Do you still think that jenkings discovered this because of a change in base-files? You should also read the full logs for the other bug. Please do so, really. Tbe most probably reason for jenkings discovering this now and not before are the recent changes in *dpkg*. But of course that's just a trigger, the real bug has always been in debootstrap. > BTW, I also fail to see why this change in base-files is _needed_ _now_ at > all... What change do you refer? I have the feeling that you still don't understand the reason why debootstrap fails. It's not because of recent changes in base-files. > Not surprisingly, just saying Adams proposal is insane didnt really convince > me. OTOH, I too can see the problems pointed out by him... I'm not calling Adam's proposal insane. His proposal is just wrong. What I was calling insane is the fact that we are still having this discussion instead of making a debootstrap upload for stable.
