Package: discover1 Version: 1.7.17 Severity: normal Tags: d-i discover1-udeb currently depends on Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1), libdiscover1 (>= 1.7.10), discover1-data-udeb (>= 1.2004.09.24) The dependency on libdiscover1 is unncessary and should be removed. This udeb already includes a copy of libdiscover.so.1.0.0, which should be all it needs to run. The dependency on libdiscover1, which is not available as a udeb anyway, just makes the debian-installer package unnecessarily build-depend on that library, which in turn can break daily builds of the installer from time to time as the version number in the dependency increases. So removing this unneeded dependency will make d-i builds simpler and more robust. (I was actually in the middle of writing a patch to make discover produce a libdiscover1-udeb and make discover1-udeb depend on it etc, when I discovered that discover1-udeb already included the udeb. That patch would still be a cleaner fix, but the effort to do it is probably too great.) -- see shy jo
