Package: base-config Version: 2.69 Severity: important Tags: patch base-config is not installable on GNU/kFreeBSD due to dependency on console-data and console-tools (which are Linux-specific).
The attached patch fixes it to conditionalise the dependency. Please note that due to limitations in dpkg the Architecture field is set to "any". -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Versions of packages base-config depends on: ii adduser 3.64 Add and remove users and groups ii apt 0.6.38 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii bsdutils 1:2.12p-4 Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite ii console-data 2002.12.04dbs-49 Keymaps, fonts, charset maps, fall ii console-tools 1:0.2.3dbs-56 Linux console and font utilities ii debconf 1.4.52 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.14.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii gettext-base 0.14.5-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii passwd 1:4.0.3-37 change and administer password and base-config recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded
