Package: apt Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system I got the following bug report from a user, so I don't know the used version of apt-cdrom and cannot give a detailed explanation. But the same happened to me a few month ago too.
Please contact Heiko Baums <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for details. OK, lets describe the problem: Whenever you start # apt-cdrom add for recent Sid CD's or DVD's it adds main/debian-installer in addition to main contrib, ... to /etc/apt/sources.list. (I used the unofficial i386 CD/DVD's from fsn.hu.) This makes it absolutly impossible to install or upgrade Woody to Sid. This installs many .udeb's from debian-installer with many (hundreds) of unresolved dependencies and other kinds of errors. Trust me, that's more than ugly! dists/sid/main/debian-installer/binary-i386/Packages contains: Package: libc-udeb Priority: required Section: debian-installer That's bad, libc-udeb should not be installed (it's a module of debian-installer and IIRC should be installed into a ramdisk during the base install only). cvs.debian.org/debian-installer/doc/modules.txt: Unlike regular debian packages, modules for the installer will not be policy compliant. They will not contain documentation in /usr/share/doc. They need not comply with the FHS. They may be statically linked. They may conflict with essential "real" debian packages, and thus be non-installable on a real debian system, although it is recommended that if possible, this be avoided. Remove all debian-installer paths in sources.list to solve this problem. Jens
