Subject: boot-floppies depends on unavailable package
X-Mailer: VM 6.43 under 20.4 "Emerald" XEmacs Lucid
Message-ID: <[🔎] 14532.60066.137643.862384@muskogee.kewill.net>
Sender: Richard Kettlewell <richard@kewill.net>
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.1.12
The version of the boot-floppies in stable (as checked on
ftp.debian.org just now) is 2.1.12. This lists
debiandoc-sgml (>= 1.1.29)
in its Depends: field.
However the version of debiandoc-sgml in stable is 1.1.12.
This makes it impossible to install the boot-floppies package from
stable without using --force-depends, and causes dselect to complain
about the unsatisfied dependencies.

You're right. But on the other hand, the newer debiandoc-sgml was
required so that the internationalization stuff was handled properly.
I really had to make this requirement for non-English versions of the
boot-floppies.
At any rate, this has been fixed for potato, so I'm closing this bug.
As a workaround, on slink, if your fortunate enough to speak English,
just override the dependancy. Or else just get the potato
debiandoc-sgml.
