Re: d-i pre-rc2 has support for russian installation broken
I've got it. As far as I see that, the necessary changes for russian have been in both base-config and languagechooser. The changes in languagechooser has been half-deactivated, but not the changes in base-config. Therefore, the tools installation in languagechooser is deactivated (my change), but the language line in languagelist is commented out (old value is active). Therefore, stage2 tries to use console-cyrillic, which is not installed. Can languagechooser get an urgent update to the languagelist file? ATM, I absolutely cannot say yes or no. We can certainly upload a new languagechooser, but the initrd's have been built already so using it means that we make the whole release process slip by a few days. The decision has to be made by Joey, but he's currently sleeping, I guess. So, my proposal is the following: -commit the changes you think are needed to languagechooser un trunk -of some are needed to base-cofnig, commit them to its trunk (NOT to the sarge branch) TEST all that damn thing. Possibly before THIS EVENING 10/8 18:00 UTC If this is OK and if Joey is OK, I'll upload a new languagechooser today around 18:00UTC. But I won't upload something which is not tested. And, even if I upload a new languagechooser, I don't know if it's worth delaying the whole release. OK, Russian is broken, I'm deeply sad for thisbut if I understand correctly, restarting the whole process may mean up to one week delay. So you'll understand the decision will be taken by considering all this.

Possibly before THIS EVENING 10/8 18:00 UTC I've checked the situation in deep. Nikolai's guess was WRONG. In fact, languagechooser currently is set up do use console-cyrillic, AND base-config expects console-cyrillic. However, netinst image does not have console-terminus package, on which console-cyrillic depends, so console-cyrillic fails to install on 1st stage So: - NOTHING should be commited for sarge on this issue either in languagechooser or base-config - Problem is not that bad, because it affects only netinst image. - I hope netinst image can be rebuild at this stage of freeze? - It is probably bad that non-x86 is broken (see Eugeniy Meshcheryakov's mails), but it is definitly less harm (for debian reputation in Russia at least) to have it broken on x86.

As I've said before, repeatedly. - I hope netinst image can be rebuild at this stage of freeze? There is no freeze, and the netinst is certianly nowhere near being frozen.
