tools/update_tasks has been broken by tasksel being changed to use task packages. from README.tasksel: > The general sequence in which packages are added for "complete" images is: > 1) Packages required by Debian Installer > 2) Packages required to install the base system (debootstrap) > 3) Any packages with priority "standard" or higher > 4) Packages from tasksel tasks > a) Packages defined as "key" packages for primary tasksel tasks > b) Packages defined as "key" packages for language tasks Down to here should still work ok; the only Key packages now are task-* packages, but they Depend on the packages that used to be listed as Key. > c) Regular packages from primary tasksel tasks > d) Regular packages from language tasks Here's the problem; before this was determined by tools/update_tasks using Task fields. The Task fields are going away, the equivilant now is the list of Recommends of a task package such as task-gnome-desktop: Recommends: gnome-accessibility, gnome-desktop-environment, gnome, iceweasel-gnome-support, epiphany-browser, libreoffice-gnome, libreoffice-evolution, inkscape Since the code is mostly awk, I have not tried to write a patch, but it does not look *too* bad, the same code was already parsing the Packages file to find the Task fields and should only need to parse it differently. -- see shy jo
