Package: Netinst ISO
Version: daily builds of 02/03/08 and build #1 of 03/03/08

The last Netinst ISOs, at least in my system, are unable
to install Grub (on the contrary, the ISO of stable
work fine). The same trouble with the DVD 1 of Testing.

Morevoer, they have a strange dependencies system.
"Apt-get install kde" installs automatically
the package for Afrikaan version. Tesseract-OCR
installs automatically the not requested package
for German. Muttprint installs automatically a lot
of linguistic packages of Texlive (for example, Hungarian
and Thailandese). SO I had to remove them manually.

Thanx

This is a known problem. A fixed version of grub has been uploaded, but 
needs to migrate to testing to solve this. This will take a few more days. 
You can see when it has been fixed by checking the "current issues" on [1].

As this issue will soon be fixed and the below is not an installer issue, 
I'm closing your report.

This is not during the installation but something you tried manually after 
the installation, correct?
In that case, apt-get will automatically install any recommended packages.

For texlive I've seen the same: it has _very_ broad recommends. For kde it's 
probably something similar.
I'd suggest you either use aptitude interactively to install packages (you 
can then unselect any you don't want), or to use 'aptitude install -R', 
which will _not_ install recommended packages by default (but you will then 
have to manually install any recommended packages that you _do_ want).

If you really feel there are bugs, please file a bug report against the 
relevant package.

tesseract-ocr depends on tesseract-ocr-language, which is provided by a 
number of language-specific packages, of which the German one is just the 
first and thus selected by default. You should probably file a bug report 
against tesseract-ocr for this because it is a lot more normal to have an 
English version as the default (which the maintainer can easily do by 
depending on 'tesseract-ocr-eng | tesseract-ocr-language').

Cheers,
FJP
