Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A; reported 2002-04-24
Severity: critical
Tags: patch
Justification: breaks unrelated software
I did a new install of woody using the cvs from a few days ago. After
rebooting and configuring the base system, I saw a few conflicts as
packages were being unpacked. I wrote some bugs against those packages,
and it turned out that base-config was installing potato packages, not
woody. Those conflicted with the woody packages that had already been
installed by debootstrap.
After investigation, I found that the dbootstrap_settings file created
by dbootstrap did not have executable permissions. This causes base-config
to assume a stable system, because the variables contained in the file
are not set.
I patched util.c in cvs to chmod the file after creating it.
Woody must not release without a new build of boot-floppies! This
would be serious egg on the face.

I'm closing all bug reports filed on the boot-floppies since this
codebase has reached its end of life. boot-floppies is only in Debian
oldstable now (and temporarily in unstable because of bug #224469).
The new installer for sarge and beyond is of course, the
debian-installer. It solves a great many issues present in the
boot-floppies.
If you believe that your boot-floppies bug is still present in
debian-installer somehow, then please reopen the bug report and reassign
it there, or perhaps better, file a new bug report.
