I don't think our loader will mind the move (it should look in both
places), I'm just a little bit worried about anything that would
hardcode paths. That might not be the case in a debian-installer
context, but we know various packages in the archive rely on that…

Unless someone else from debian-boot@ objects, maybe go ahead, and we'll
fix what breaks (if anything), now that we know the change is coming up?

(I suppose the reason for the move is to keep the diff between debs and
udebs small? Not moving in the first place would be an option… ;p)

The util-linux udebs will move their libraries from /lib to
/usr/lib; mbiebl claims this is no problem. FTR, the list of udebs
is:

  fdisk-udeb
  libblkid1-udeb
  libfdisk1-udeb
  libmount1-udeb
  libsmartcols1-udeb
  libuuid1-udeb
  util-linux-udeb

I hope the "no problem" bit is true; I'd like to hear back from you
though before actually uploading.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Holger

My situation is the following:
- I do use static IPv4's in the LAN
- no DHCP server
- the router does IPv6 auto-config
- I do provide a list of IPv4 addresses of DNS servers

So, technically the network card is configured, for IPv6 networking, but
with IPv4 DNS servers, making name lookup a guaranteed failure.

After back, back, backing and entering the IPv4 config for the machine,
installation continues to completion.

Peter.
