Your message dated Thu, 01 Dec 2022 12:35:57 +0000 with message-id <e1p0inf-0003ii...@fasolo.debian.org> and subject line Bug#30972: fixed in dpkg 1.21.10 has caused the Debian Bug report #30972, regarding dselect: RMS dislikes language of the prompt for non-free CDs to be marked as done.
This means that you claim that the problem has been dealt with. If this is not the case it is now your responsibility to reopen the Bug report if necessary, and/or fix the problem forthwith. (NB: If you are a system administrator and have no idea what this message is talking about, this may indicate a serious mail system misconfiguration somewhere.

--- Begin Message ---Package: dpkg Version: 1.4.1 RMS: > * The installer complained about the absence of the non-free directory > on the CD-ROM. It asked me what directory to use, and I had to answer > "none". The implication of this, to a user, is that something which > should have been prsent was missing. > > I think that should be considered a bug in the installation procedure. > If someone chooses to distribute only free software, installation > should not act as if something were missing. I think he's referring to the cdrom access method of dselect here. I'll bet this could be corrected by a modification of the language used in the prompt so it stresses the non-free cd is optional. -- System Information Debian Release: slink Kernel Version: Linux paper 2.0.35 #1 Sun Jul 26 18:14:13 PDT 1998 i586 unknown Versions of the packages dpkg depends on: ii libc6 2.0.7u-7.1 The GNU C library version 2 (run-time files) ii libstdc++2.8 2.90.29-2 The GNU stdc++ library (old egcs version) ii ncurses3.4 1.9.9g-8.11 Video terminal manipulation - shared librari
