Bug#944207: d-i netinst image with firmware: should NOT be labeled "Official amd64 NETINST" image

[Holger Wansing]

Package: debian-cd
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-boot@lists.debian.org


Discovered with image "firmware-10.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso"
from 
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/10.1.0+nonfree/amd64/iso-cd/

That image is labeled 
» Debian GNU/Linux 10.1.0 "Buster - Official amd64 NETINST 20190908-01:08" «

Should be something like
"UNOFFICIAL netinst with firmware" or the like, right?

I just noticed that the relevant message currently appears with netinst image,
too (because build badly broken).

So, maybe we should not restrict the above proposed changing to the "netboot"
installation method?
(means: skipping the "check if you are using an up-to-date netboot image" part)

Right, adjusting bug title to reflect the actual problem you were
getting and that I'm fixing; it's just been uploaded with a
source-only upload, which should also help transition-wise.

Details are in:

Ugh, yes. I missed that, seeing what looked like an obvious fix. It
was, just a fix for a different bug... :-)

Hi Steve,

(Spotted because I've been a subscriber of the haveged package since
some upload earlier this year…)

As mentioned on IRC, rebuilding will likely not fix the actual problem,
which is the udeb depending on the library. That the migration is
prevented because of a missing source-only upload is another topic.

It's caused by haveged not migrating into testing as expected - see

  https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/haveged 

for more. I've just uploaded an NMU to fix this, so things should
settle shortly I hope.
