I was not entirely honest while putting up the bug-report. What I had wanted to do was install live-boot (to make a personalized image) which consists of three packages at least live-boot, live-boot-initramfs-tools and rsync Of this live-boot and rsync need each other while live-boot-initramfs-tools is a standalone package which can be installed by itself as well as can be seen by aptitude show . As per the manual given (live-manual) one can install live-boot without an issue. $ aptitude show live-boot-initramfs-tools Package: live-boot-initramfs-tools State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 3.0~a20-1 Priority: optional Section: misc Maintainer: Debian Live Project <debian-l...@lists.debian.org> Uncompressed Size: 176 k Depends: busybox | busybox-initramfs, initramfs-tools, udev Conflicts: live-boot-backend Replaces: live-boot-backend Provides: live-boot-backend Description: Debian Live - System Boot Scripts (initramfs-tools backend) live-boot contains the scripts that configure a Debian Live system during the boot process (early userspace). This package contains the initramfs-tools backend. Homepage: http://live.debian.net/devel/live-boot/ Now I had wanted to install all the packages which are needed by live-boot but since rsync has a grave security bug against it (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=621866) I am not installing it till that gets fixed by somebody. Perhaps the entire bug-report is wrong /invalid then ? If yes, I would close it. But if it still has some merit than Michal would do as you advised. Looking forward for guidance and sorry for the noise. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
