Bug#213900: pcmcia-udeb: Provide on ethernet-card-detection prevents ethdetect from being selected
Package: pcmcia-udeb
Severity: important
File: pcmcia-udeb
Tags: d-i
pcmcia-udeb and ethdetect both provide ethernet-card-detection. Since
main-menu will skip packages who provide something that is already
provided by an installed package ethdetect will never be selected (be
default).
On non pcmcia system it will result in netcfg-dhcp complaining that
there are no network devices.
I imagine the following solutions:
- Remove ethernet-card-detection Provides
- Detect in an isinstallable script, if pcmcia is supported
