This is why CD1 has tetex-* on it, for example (dependency of texinfo). > From "Gnome desktop environment" practically nothing is installed: > - only libtheora0 is installed No, gnome-desktop-environment in its entirity gets onto CD1 (log.list2cds line 18549). Again, the Key packages in the task are all included, while the rest are not. What I don't understand is why this is happening, since Debian_etch includes first task-essential-etch, then interesting-fromcd23, task-full-etch, and only at the end popularity-contest-etch. And yet it seems to be including packages from popularity-contest-etch before task-full-etch. As far as I can tell, /org/cdimage.debian.org/setup/tmp/i386/etch-i386/list lists the packages in the correct order, with gnome-desktop-environment before gimp before texinfo, so it seems that list2cds must be scrambling this ordering somehow. > - for gnome-desktop-environment a number of recommended packages is > unavailable, which is probably what causes the problem: > - dasher > - gnome-accessibility-themes > - gnome-mag > - gnopernicus > - gok debian-cd does not look at Recommends; d-i does not install recommends. > For the laptop task it looks like only libsysfs1 is missing which is > depended on by pcmcia-cs -> pcmciautils. + Trying to add pcmcia-cs... @dep before checklist = pcmcia-cs pcmciautils psmisc @dep after checklist = pcmcia-cs pcmciautils psmisc $cd_size = 346973580, $size = 400332 Adding pcmcia-cs pcmciautils psmisc to CD 1 ... pcmciautils has already been included. + Trying to add libsysfs1... @dep before checklist = libsysfs1 @dep after checklist = libsysfs1 $cd_size = 281692506, $size = 28524 Adding libsysfs1 to CD 4 ... Apparently something includes pcmciautils w/o including its deps, which seems very broken of debian-cd to do. -- see shy jo
