Hi Lance! On 12/1/22 17:54, Lance Albertson wrote: Unfortunately this is a major issue when trying to get a system installed using the debian-installer. I am trying to support ppc64 (Big Endian) for our users, and Debian is the only platform that still provides a modern ppc64 environment. Thanks for the praise ;-). It is possible partially through the support of OSUOSL ;-). I've created my own netboot install images using the latest sid environment, and I am unable to work around this and get a system installed. While the solution above works for debootstrap itself, it makes it impossible to get a system installed. Could you change pmac-utils to Suggests instead of Depends? That way it should get things working again. AFAIK this isn't a hard requirement anymore on ppc64 at least. Yes, I will demote the package to Suggests or even remove it. I don't think it's necessary anymore. Adrian -- .''`. John Paul Adrian Glaubitz : :' : Debian Developer `. `' Physicist `-GPG: 62FF 8A75 84E0 2956 9546 0006 7426 3B37 F5B5 F913
