Package: base-config
Version: 2.35
Severity: normal
'apt-get install foo bar' only succeeds if foo and bar are both
available; if bar is missing, it doesn't install foo.
At the moment, read-edid only exists on i386.
The combination of these two facts means that
base-config/lib/menu/pkgsel never installs mdetect on non-i386
architectures. It should install the two separately so that it can cope
with either one being missing.
Here's an untested (sorry) patch:

- if [ "$extra" ] ; then
- apt-get -y -f install $extra >/dev/null 2>&1 || true

if which tasksel >/dev/null 2>&1; then
if [ "$1" = new ]; then
By the way, why the redirection of useful information to /dev/null? It
would have been easier to find this problem if the output had been
visible. I guess the error messages about read-edid not being available
might confuse some people or something.
Thanks,
