Couldn't agree more. > https://bugs.debian.org/871045 is somewhat related. The kmod situation has been known for quite a while (see mklibs changes over the year). The bug above was opened by Aurélien so that we don't forget about possibly switching to using more busybox applets instead of fixing kmod. Feel free to file a bug report in the meanwhile though. This has been prompted by the recent interest of two kind developers who stepped up to maintain busybox. > > Ditto: > > Unpacking wget-udeb (1.19.1-4) ... > > dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled: > > dpkg: warning: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/wget', which is also in > > package busybox-udeb 1:1.27.2-1 AFAICT recent busybox's wget does HTTPS so we could think about dropping wget-udeb. Defaulting to busybox's wget right now means archs without wget's udeb (ISTR armel) still have wget (which wouldn't be the case anymore if we were to drop the wget applet from busybox). > > Also note that libkmod2-udeb does not actually ship libkmod.so.2... on > > that note this: > > > > INFO: Using /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 as dynamic linker > > INFO: library reduction pass 1 > > WARNING: Library libkmod.so.2 found in the default path > > /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ > > WARNING: Library libslang.so.2 found in the default path > > /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ > > WARNING: Library libnewt.so.0.52 found in the default path > > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ > > WARNING: Library libgcc_s.so.1 found in the default path > > /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ > > INFO: library reduction pass 2 > > INFO: stripping and copying dynamic linker to > > ..//lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 See first paragraph. > > I've changed mklibs-copy to print a warning whenever libraries are > > pulled from the host instead of the udeb. > > > > Shouldn't the all of the above be shipped in udebs?

It's been worked on over the years (again, Aurélien has been working on this topic), but I think we'll still release a few versions that aren't prefect yet. > Maybe you should file bugs and/or discuss this on -boot. Of course, debian-boot@ is where d-i stuff happens; don't expect people to be subscribed to debian-devel@ (which can be dropped from further replies). KiBi.
