[PATCH]? Re: forget LANG_CHOOSER for 3.0.18 (was Re: 3.0.18 testing)
Looks like pb hit the nail on the head.

Anyone want to try removing libnewt0 from EXTRACT_LIST_all and seeing if that helps at all? I tried that but rootdisk.sh wasn't happy, it wants the libraries there. It sort of makes sense because archs that don't do library reduction won't have mklibs run, so they won't even get a copy of an un-reduced library, unless we want to add a dummy mklibs run that would do that.

If all is cool and no one squeals I'll commit the above patch. Okay, cool. We can always change it to use a more refined method later, like maybe actually making library reduction work for newt. But if your patch allows people to build working disk sets again, that's probably good enough for now. What's the status with the base install step, do we still have show-stopper bugs there? p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I committed the newt hack, and filed a number of other bugs, the only complete show-stopper however is this one: http://bugs.debian.org/123387 busybox: wc reading from stdin is broken I believe this is what causes the Packages.gz corrupt problem that aph spoke of this weekend. -David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Very annoying one is 123382 (kernel-image-2.2.20-idepci: need CONFIG_PACKET=y for boot-floppies dhcp-client, which I'll re-open and reassign to boot-floppies shortly). -David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hmm, what's the deal here? We already put af_packet.o on the root disk for the idepci, compact and vanilla flavours, and there should be stuff in rcS to load it. Can you try insmod'ing it by hand and see if you can figure out what's up? p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
