Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: wishlist According to Policy s.2.5, packages with "required" priority are "necessary for the proper functioning of the system", that is to say, they provide "enough functionality to allow the sysadmin to boot and install more software".
But dselect does none of that. It's just a frontend to dpkg and (optionally) apt; and according to: - its own description: "Many users find dselect intimidating and new users may prefer to use `apt'-based user interfaces." - popcon (regular users): dselect=7209, aptitude=16399, apt=56340 not a very popular one. I'd suggest lowering its priority to "important", equiparating it to its more popular equivalent "aptitude". I'm CCing the dselect/dpkg maintainers, in case they have an objection or something to add. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-amd64 Locale: LANG=ca_AD.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ca_AD.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
