Firstly, libnss-dns-udeb is already available, and the ugly hack you mention has already been removed (although it might have to be reinstated for libnss_files if it were only available in libc6-udeb). Secondly, this bug is that libnss_files is not available in d-i at all. > The solution proposed would be to put libnss-udeb onto the boot media > with the reduced glibc. libc-udeb would still get used at a later stage > in the installer. > > I think option (3) is probably the best. I don't mind whether you produce libnss-udeb or two separate libnss-*-udeb packages: although check that nothing depends on the existing libnss-dns-udeb (if so, a provides will be needed), and you'll probably break d-i daily builds for a couple of days if you drop libnss-dns-udeb now. If you go for (3) I think you should still do (1) as well: at least, that's the current arrangement with libnss_dns. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
