During my test installs for s/390 (which I'm happy to say is fully supported again), I noticed a regression in the default installation. S/390 uses partitioner and partconf instead of partman, but partman is still included in the menu because it is priority standard. For Sarge installs, partman would be automatically skipped because everything it "Provides:" is also provided by partitioner/partconf. Package: partman Provides: made-filesystems, mounted-partitions, partitioned-harddrives, created-fstab Package: partitioner Provides: partitioned-harddrives Package: partconf Provides: made-filesystems, made-swapspace, mounted-partitions, created-fstab Using current daily installs, partman is no longer skipped. I _think_ this is an unintended side effect of the partman -> partman-base rename. partman-base now has: Provides: partman, made-filesystems, mounted-partitions, partitioned-harddrives, created-fstab My guess is that main-menu thinks it needs to run partman-base as partman is not yet provided by another package. So what is the best solution here? - Drop the 'Provides: partman' from partman-base; this is probably possible as AFAIK nothing depends on partman anymore. - Add a 'Provides: partman' to partitioner; IMO less elegant. Unrelated question Why does partman not provide made-swapspace? Is this an obsoleted virtual package?
