I'll make e2fsprogs-udeb and libblkid1-udeb both be priority "standard" and deal with getting the override file fixed. - Ted -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It's not a question of "IMHO", e2fsprogs-udeb should be at least standard, PERIOD! If someone builds a custom d-i and doesn't want ext[23], they can create a udeb_exclude file, so there's really no reason whatsoever for the priority to be lower than standard. I wish the ftp masters would consult us on udeb priorities. :-/ /Martin -- Martin Sjögren [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: +46 (0)31 7490880 Cell: +46 (0)739 169191 GPG key: http://www.strakt.com/~martin/gpg.html signature.asc Description: PGP signature

udebs of priority >= standard are automatically loaded by d-i. e2fsprogs-udeb should have a priority of standard, to ensure that mkfs.ext[23] are present; IMHO the override file should be corrected or we won't be able to make a filesystem without a user manually loading the udeb. As a library, libblkid1-udeb shouldn't matter: it should be pulled in as a dependency by whatever uses it - e2fsprogs-udeb, I suppose.
