Package: debian-installer, ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal


In todays checkout, we get : 

...
Get:1 http://ftp2.fr.debian.org unstable/main/debian-installer ext3-modules-2.6.18-2-powerpc-di 1.23 [106kB]
Get:2 http://ftp2.fr.debian.org unstable/main/debian-installer kernel-image-2.6.17-2-powerpc-di 1.22 [1871kB]

While the 2.6.18-2 kernels should have been fetched. This is probably due to
2.6.17-2 still being in the archive, and not versioned dependencies doing
strange stuff in these conditions. I have some serious doubts about a d-i
image resulting from such a build working, but haven't investigated further.

This bug report is thus serving a double purpose, first, to ftp.debian.org, to
remove the 1.22 2.6.17 d-i powerpc .udebs from the unstable archive, and
second so, maybe someone with a clue about the kernel .udeb dependencies
coming in and being able to comment on this issue, and maybe propose a fix.

This has never been a problem in the past and I doubt that the mere 
existence of the old packages is the problem here.

Anyway, deleting the packages from the archive is completely the wrong 
solution for this. Therefore closing the BR.
