pre-depends and the base archive
Now that pre-depends are in place, dpkg has to be dragged kicking and
screaming into building the base archive. If I use --force-depends I can
get it to build with lots of complaints. I would have thought that
it would sort out the order in which things should be installed when given
a long list of packages so that pre-depends in that list would not
be a problem, but that's not happening. Note the complaints from this
dpkg run.
Thanks
Bruce

Saving GMT setting from /etc/init.d/boot ..
Dpkg might ask you if you want the new configuration files in /etc/init.d.
This is generally a good idea, unless you have really changed any of these
files. The GMT setting in /etc/init.d/boot will be saved anyway.
