linux-2.6 deprecates kernel-latest, afaict. It provides the same binary packages as transition packages that depend on the s/kernel/linux/ equivalents. The remaining problem is that the version string used by the linux-2.6 transition packages is < the kernel-latest counterparts. I would think d-i could avoid that problem by using the linux-* metapackages instead of the transition packages. I only looked at x86; not sure that all archs that used a kernel-latest have switched. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
