That's not a problem. The only thing to check is that the dependency is correct. > What _is_ mac-fdisk udeb still being used for these days?? Maybe time to > retire it? I have no idea. powerpc is an architecture I know very little about as I've never had the hardware. If it's still useful for anything, it probably is manual troubleshooting and rescue. I've no idea if it offers any advantages over regular fdisk and/or parted. A decision to retire the udebs should be made by the powerpc and m68k [1] porters. Cheers, FJP [1] Note that even though m68k is no longer a release arch, it is still being maintained to some degree, including D-I support for it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I can build it on my powerbook but testing it (short of installing it on that system, which will hardly test whether it works with libc6-udeb) is another matter. What _is_ mac-fdisk udeb still being used for these days?? Maybe time to retire it?

Bug#562190: mac-fdisk: udebs should depend on libc6-udeb instead of libc6
Package: mac-fdisk Version: 0.1-15 Severity: serious Tags: patch d-i The udebs do not get a correct dependency on libc6-udeb, but instead depend on the regular libc6 package. We've ignored this for previous releases, but for Squeeze it's RC because of britney support for udebs. I originally thought this could be solved with a binNMU, but that turned out not to be enough. The basic reason is that the control file does not set the correct package type for the udeb. Doing that also allows to simplify debian/rules a bit as the package type triggers all the necessary magic for udebs in debhelper. I've build tested the attached patch on a porter box and to me the result looks good. diff -u mac-fdisk-0.1/debian/rules mac-fdisk-0.1/debian/rules --- mac-fdisk-0.1/debian/rules +++ mac-fdisk-0.1/debian/rules @@ -164,9 +164,8 @@ dh_strip -p$(packudeb); \ dh_installdeb -p$(packudeb); \ dh_shlibdeps -p$(packudeb); \ - dh_gencontrol -p$(packudeb) -- -isp "-DSubarchitecture=$(mac_subarches)" -fdebian/files~; \ - dpkg-distaddfile $(packudeb)_$(shell dpkg-parsechangelog | grep ^Version: | cut -d ' ' -f 2)_$(BUILDARCH).udeb debian-installer standard; \ - dh_builddeb -p$(packudeb) --filename=$(packudeb)_$(shell dpkg-parsechangelog | grep ^Version: | cut -d ' ' -f 2)_$(BUILDARCH).udeb; \ + dh_gencontrol -p$(packudeb); \ + dh_builddeb -p$(packudeb); \ fi # build pmac-fdisk-udeb on powerpc @@ -174,9 +173,8 @@ dh_strip -p$(packpudeb); \ dh_installdeb -p$(packpudeb); \ dh_shlibdeps -p$(packpudeb); \ - dh_gencontrol -p$(packpudeb) -- -isp "-DSubarchitecture=$(pmac_subarches)" -fdebian/files~; \ - dpkg-distaddfile $(packpudeb)_$(shell dpkg-parsechangelog | grep ^Version: | cut -d ' ' -f 2)_$(BUILDARCH).udeb debian-installer standard; \ - dh_builddeb -p$(packpudeb) --filename=$(packpudeb)_$(shell dpkg-parsechangelog | grep ^Version: | cut -d ' ' -f 2)_$(BUILDARCH).udeb; \ + dh_gencontrol -p$(packpudeb); \ + dh_builddeb -p$(packpudeb); \ fi define checkdir diff -u mac-fdisk-0.1/debian/control mac-fdisk-0.1/debian/control --- mac-fdisk-0.1/debian/control +++ mac-fdisk-0.1/debian/control @@ -38,6 +38,7 @@ interactive tool similar to PC fdisk.
