CC'd to debian-cd, because that's probably the relevant list.



The following script checks for validity of priority/section (and 
I think this is what should be done, please tell me if something looks wrong) :

for A in $(/usr/sbin/debootstrap --arch $ARCH --print-debs woody); do (apt-cache show $A | awk '/^Package:/{package=$2} /^Section:/{section=$2} /^Priority:/{priority=$2} END{print package " " section " " priority}') ; done | awk '{if ($2 != "base" && $3 != "required") {print "Bad base program: " $0 }} '



I believe, if the section is "base", or is "required" priority,
it should be found in the first CD. Would "important" suffice?

If this seems like a good check, I would add this check to 
the debian installer check so that things will get clearer.


The following is my check (against current testing)

Bad base program: debconf admin optional
Bad base program: libdb2 libs optional
Bad base program: libgdbmg1 libs standard
Bad base program: apt-utils admin optional
Bad base program: at admin important
Bad base program: bsdmainutils utils important
Bad base program: console-common utils important
Bad base program: cpio utils important
Bad base program: cron admin important
Bad base program: dhcp-client net optional
Bad base program: ed editors important
Bad base program: exim mail important
Bad base program: groff-base text important
Bad base program: info doc important
Bad base program: libident libs important
Bad base program: libldap2 libs important
Bad base program: liblockfile1 libs important
Bad base program: libpcre3 libs important
Bad base program: libsasl7 libs important
Bad base program: logrotate admin important
Bad base program: mailx mail important
Bad base program: man-db doc important
Bad base program: manpages doc important
Bad base program: nano editors important
Bad base program: net-tools net standard
Bad base program: netkit-inetd net standard
Bad base program: netkit-ping net standard
Bad base program: nvi editors important
Bad base program: pppoe net optional
Bad base program: libpcap0 libs optional
Bad base program: telnet net standard
Bad base program: pciutils admin optional
Bad base program: psmisc admin optional
