it needs to, yes. Otherwise you end up with the interface being
unmanaged from n-m, despite the n-m snippet having been written. I
suppose what we could do is just empty it out. At least trying that out
was successful for me. I also tested the non n-m case and that was fine.

Yeah, I suppose we could do that. Is there already a naming convention
here? Would /etc/network/interfaces.d/${interface}.conf work? (Note that
for n-m we use a generic untranslated "Wired connection 1" with no
adapter matching specified in the snippet.)

Similarly I guess we could pre-configure systemd-networkd in some way,
but right now there's no package to check for. (Which is how we
determine if network-manager configuration needs to be written out.)

Kind regards and thanks
Philipp Kern

 Thanks to the patch from victory, we have managed to switch
 generation
 of PDF files from jade to dblatex.
 
 As a benefit, there are now PDF variants of the installer
 manual for
 Chinese, Greek, Japanese and Vietnamese, which were not
 supported before.
 
 The files can be found here:
 http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/
 (as a preview of the manual for Stretch).
 
 I would be happy, if you could take a look at a PDF for your
 language,
 to see if everything is fine (especially displaying /
 characters / fonts).
 Of special interest would be all non-ascii characters.
 
 
 thanks a lot
 Holger

quote tags are shown as entity in Greek pdf,
whatever becomes whatever
e.g. page viii:
 64-bit PC (amd64). 

in .../dblatex/xsl/common/el.xml, some definitions are double-escaped like:
..dingbat ...startquote... #x201C;
(see around line 200+)

this is dblatex bug: it uses almost-decade-ago files;
docbook-xsl has updated files.

Bug#819092: #819092 win32-loader cannot load dailies because NSISdl doesn't support https

So I've spent a good part of today trying to fix that problem.

The path I've picked was to try to in-Debian build the Inetc plugin, and then 
use that in win32-loader to download d-i assets over https securely. 
Unfortunately, that didn't work out well enough:
* the inetc plugin is not properly licensed, but assuming it is under Zlib …
* it (kinda-)builds under Debian,
* it supports the NSIS 3.0 API,
* but I couldn't manage to make it work in win32-loader, as I was having 
errors such as "Dialog error (1812)", and then "Connection error", which I 
couldn't debug.

Anyway. Here's the nsis-plugin-inetc packaging:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/nsis-plugin-inetc.git/

As for the bug at hand, I will upload a new win32-loader targetted at stretch 
that doesn't permit dailies or alternative architectures' download (as they 
later fail anyway), and get that into stretch.

nfs-common 1.3.4-2.1 jessie-backported for Reiser4 newer kernel

[Jose R R]

Niltze, all-

Jessie-Reiser4 had an issue with nfs-common package from the official
Debian Jessie repositories: it hung a newly installed Reiser4 root-fs
Debian and/or would hang during subsequent installation with message:

Setting up nfs-common (1:1.2.8-9) ...

Creating config file /etc/idmapd.conf with new version


Interesting thing is that Sid-Reiser4 would not be affected upon
installation of Sid nfs-common package.

Accordingly, I jessie-backport'ed the newer nfs-common to address the
bug that hung Jessie-Reiser4. It's my pleasure to communicate that the
port apparently resolved the bug-hang issue ;-)

Jessie-backport nfs-common 1.3.4-1 DEB is at usual location at
SourceForge --if anyone desires to provide feedback.

It will subsequently be integrated into Debian-Reiser4 neboot images
-- using SSL-enabled wget to download from metztli.it


Best Professional Regards.

Since I cannot reproduce that build error here, could you try on your
system, what happens if you install fonts-freefont-otf? Does that fix
the build error for you?

It is in the kernel-image-4.8.0-2-armmp-di package.  So no, it's not
missing.

PPP is not used on packet-switched cellular networks.  Some modems act
as a PPP server for backward compatibiity with dial-up.

Hello Karsten

Is it possible, that the axp20x_regulator is missing in the d-i module
udebs?
Like the same as described in the bug #809521?

Thank you for the support

Hmm, I cannot see such error on my system here, which builds the
manual for http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/.
I performed a rull rebuild this night, and there were no errors.

http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/logs/

fonts-freefont-otf is not installed on that system.
