Package: debian-cd Version: 3.2.1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: mikeonthecompu...@gmail.com
Debian 12, bookworm, images are missing the contrib section of the repositories in their entirety. This prevents the use of, for instance, installing ZFS on an offline computer. There is quite a lot of useful software in the contrib section and excluding it from the media sets are a burden, especially for archival purposes of releases. Using the current mirrors can be fine and all, but eventually 12 won't exist in the current mirrors anymore, including all the software in contrib. (Maybe there's an argument that contrib is used for many things that don't really belong in it. Hypothetically, it's software that depends on non-free, but in practice, much of it is completely usable without non-free dependencies.) -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-17-amd64 (SMP w/32 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages debian-cd depends on: ii apt 2.6.1 ii bc 1.07.1-3+b1 ii bzip2 1.0.8-5+b1 ii cpp 4:12.2.0-3 ii curl 7.88.1-10+deb12u5 ii dctrl-tools [grep-dctrl] 2.24-3+b1 ii dpkg-dev 1.21.22 pn libcompress-zlib-perl <none> pn libdigest-md5-perl <none> ii libdpkg-perl 1.21.22 ii libfile-slurp-perl 9999.32-2 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.86+ds-1 ii lynx 2.9.0dev.12-1 ii make 4.3-4.1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.36.0-7+deb12u1 ii pigz 2.6-1 ii tofrodos 1.7.13+ds-6 ii uuid-runtime 2.38.1-5+b1 ii wget 1.21.3-1+b2 ii xorriso 1.5.4-4 Versions of packages debian-cd recommends: ii dosfstools 4.2-1 ii hfsutils 3.2.6-15 ii isolinux 3:6.04~git20190206.bf6db5b4+dfsg1-3 ii mtools 4.0.33-1+really4.0.32-1 ii syslinux-common 3:6.04~git20190206.bf6db5b4+dfsg1-3 debian-cd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
