Package: qemu Version: 0.8.1-1 Severity: important Hello,
I was trying to start the ppc system emulator and found that the video.x file was removed from the package since it was a binary blob only. I understand that decision, but that makes the qemu-system-ppc useless, since the user is not guided in any way on the path to make the emulation work. Please provide a set of debconf questions that would allow the user to download himself the video.x file, which is needed for ppc system emulation. An idea would be to create a non-free package which does the actual download, stripping and all (if the file is distributable, of course), and add that package as a suggests to qemu. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=ro_RO.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ro_RO.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages qemu depends on: ii bochsbios 2.2.6-2 BIOS for the Bochs emulator ii libasound2 1.0.12-1 ALSA library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.11-3 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii openhackware 0.4.1-2 OpenFirmware emulator for PowerPC ii proll 18-2 JavaStation PROM 2.x compatible re ii vgabios 0.6a-1 VGA BIOS software for the Bochs an ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages qemu recommends: ii debootstrap 0.3.3 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii sharutils 1:4.2.1-15 shar, unshar, uuencode, uudecode -- no debconf information -- This message was scanned for viruses by BitDefender for Linux Mail Servers.
