Build problem for Alpha bootdisks
Hi,
I'm just trying to build the boot disks for Alpha, but I get:
I: downloading required packages from files /data/src/boot-floppies/scripts/rootdisk/EXTRACT_LIST_all /data/src/boot-floppies/scripts/rootdisk/EXTRACT_LIST_alpha
D: ash base-passwd busybox console-data dhcp-client debootstrap e2fsprogs-bf libnewt0 libpopt0 makedev modutils nano-tiny netbase net-tools slang1 whiptail libc6.1 util-linux aboot dosfstools

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
modutils: Depends: sysvinit (>= 2.71-2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
can't find package, or no such package, 'ash'
can't find package, or no such package, 'base-passwd'
can't find package, or no such package, 'busybox'

can't find package, or no such package, 'e2fsprogs-bf'
can't find package, or no such package, 'libnewt0'

E: ./rootdisk.sh abort
make[1]: *** [root.bin] Error 255
make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/src/boot-floppies'
make: *** [build] Error 2
Do I have to add sysvinit to the package list, or what's the problem?
I also wonder if we shouldn't use the milos from
http://www.suse.de/~stepan/, which are actively being maintained by
the SuSe folks. If nobody objects, I could try it.
