I discovered something interesting with the Packages file on the netinst CDs, some packages were missing Priority and Section control fields. I checked the corresponding package files and indeed, dpkg -f revealed they did not have those control fields! Some investigation showed that the packages using dh_gencontrol were immune, while the packages using dpkg-gencontrol directly were the ones with problems. The packages with this problem that I found are: ddetect (ethdetect) lvmcfg netcfg partitioner cdrom-checker di-utils Those of you feeling responsible for these packages, please change to dh_gencontrol, or "fix" the calls to dpkg-gencontrol. (I'd do it myself but I'm a bit busy right now) /M -- Martin Sjögren sjogren@debian.org -- marvin@dum.chalmers.se GPG key: http://www.mdstud.chalmers.se/~md9ms/gpg.html let hello = "hello" : hello in putStr (unlines hello)
