Bug#518145: Missing dependencies on official Lenny installation CDs
Package: debian-cd
Version: 3.1.1
Severity: normal
The package gnome depends on gnome-app-install. gnome is located on CD1,
gnome-app-install on CD2.
$ wget -qO -
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.0/amd64/list-cd/debian-500-amd64-CD-1.list.gz
| zgrep ^gnome_
gnome_2.22.2~5_all.deb
$ wget -qO -
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.0/amd64/list-cd/debian-500-amd64-CD-2.list.gz
| zgrep ^gnome-app-install
gnome-app-install_0.5.5.1-1_all.deb
This seems to apply to more packages, though (amd64 disks):
CD1:
gnome (= 1:2.22.2~5) depends on gnome-themes-extras {NOT AVAILABLE}
CD3:
k3b (= 1.0.5-3) depends on k3b-data (= 1.0.5-3) {NOT AVAILABLE}
CD17:
debian-edu-doc (= 1.2~20080715) depends on debian-edu-doc-es {NOT AVAILABLE}
CD20:
ocaml-core (= 3.10.0.1) depends on camlp4-extra {NOT AVAILABLE}
This also shows you that all the missing packages are provided by the next disk,
because when adding the packages from the next disk to edos-debcheck, the errors
disappear. The DVDs are correct.
You should run edos-debcheck on the packages files in the images, and verify
the results.

I would say if you only have CD1, gnome is not installable, because some of its dependencies are missing. And this is not good, because at least in my opinion, any package on any disk should be installable by using only the previous disks and the disk it is located on. -- Julian Andres Klode - Free Software Developer Debian Developer - Contributing Member of SPI Ubuntu Member - Fellow of FSFE Website: http://jak-linux.org/ XMPP: juli...@jabber.org Debian: http://www.debian.org/ SPI: http://www.spi-inc.org/ Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/ FSFE: http://www.fsfe.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-cd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

On Wednesday 04 March 2009, Julian Andres Klode wrote: I would say if you only have CD1, gnome is not installable, because some of its dependencies are missing. That's very simply not true. The gnome meta package is not required to install the gnome desktop environment. The key package for the gnome desktop task is gnome-desktop-environment, not gnome. (It is of course true for the meta package gnome itself, but that's not a very important issue.) And this is not good, because at least in my opinion, any package on any disk should be installable by using only the previous disks and the disk it is located on. Sure, that would be nice. But it's not a hard requirement. For debian-cd it is mostly true, except that near the end of a CD it is possible that a package makes it onto CDx while some dependencies end up on CDx+1. For packages with huge dependency trees such as gnome the risk that this happens is larger than for most. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-cd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

The code is supposed to make sure that dependencies are included first. I'm going to take a look to see how this can happen... -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.st...@einval.com Because heaters aren't purple! -- Catherine Pitt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-cd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

This is more a feature than a bug. I.e, it's just a consequence of how packages are added to images and does not cause any problems during installation. This is definitely not a feature. This is a regression compared to what list2cd used to do. While it might not have a big practical impact, it is a real bug in the application logic.
