Bug#587928: quik-installer: fails to detect ext2 boot partition
Quoting Vagrant Cascadian (vagr...@freegeek.org): this makes debian-installer fail with the default partitioning, at least when using qemu-system-ppc. any concern if i upload an NMU to fix this? Seems fair. So, unless someone else from the D-I team objects, please go ahead. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#589213: Do not install Exim in minimal system
Package: debian-installer Version: 20100211+b1 (Note: I'm not sure that d-i is the correct package for this bug; please reassign if needed.) I want to install a minimal Debian/squeeze system. When the installer presents the tasksel screen, I unselect everything, even Standard system utilities. Yet when the install is finished, I see that a complete exim4 installation is present, and running. This is, to say the least, inappropriate for a minimal install. I found a couple of discussion threads referencing this issue: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=17t=49816 http://www.pubbs.net/201003/debian/1016-fresh-debian-install-wo-exim.html From the looks of it, exim4 is installed because of a Recommends: by the cron package: Recommends: exim4 | postfix | mail-transport-agent, lockfile-progs I believe the right thing to do would be to include in the base install a minimal, non-daemon-ized, dumb MTA capable only of forwarding and local delivery, to satisfy the mail-transport-agent dependency. (Forwarding won't work out of the box, obviously, but for cron and other system facilities, local delivery is all that matters anyway.) It would make sense to install Exim if the user selects the Mail server task, or perhaps even Standard system utilities. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I doubt it is cron as Recommends are not installed during base system installation (debootstrap). The only correct way to check what pulls exim in is to check the syslog for the installation. Please send a (gzipped!) copy (you can find it on the installed system in /var/log/installer).

Why do you find exim4 inappropriate for a minimal install? From the looks of it, exim4 is installed because of a Recommends: by the cron package: This can be verified by running 'aptitude why exim4' in the installed system. I suspect the change you propose can not be implemented by debian-installer, but instead would have to be done by changing cron or any other package pulling in the mta package.

Bug#589213: Do not install Exim in minimal system
[Frans Pop] And on what do you base that statement? I base it on many years of experience with debian installer and mine observations of its inner workings. And as far as I know there is nothing in debian-installer asking for exim to be installed. The packages installed is mostly decided by debootstrap, tasksel, the archive priorities and the set of dependencies and recommends of the packages in Debian, as far as I know. The d-i packages request a few packages to be installed, but exim is not one of them. To make things simple: it's false. I trust you to know the facts better than me, and if you believe you have sensible way to solve this in d-i, I am happy to be wrong. :) There are differences in the way Recommends are handled and options to tune whether Recommends are installed in some stages. Sure. That is correct. Not quite sure why that would be related to a correct fix for this, given that Debian is moving to installing recommended packages by default, and d-i is moving in the same direction. Please make some effort to understand how things work before making wild guesses. I've spent an effort over several years to understand how d-i is working, but thank you for voicing your concern.
