Packages with Critial Bugs
There are still 23 bugs remaining on the critical list. These are bugs
that were marked as necessary to be fixed before Debian 1.2 could be
released.
The packages these bugs refer to are:
base bootdisk cron dpkg kernel mailx ncurses3.0 smail
gcc imapd lrzsz ssh tcsh wu-ftpd
Those on the first line are required by the system. Somehow I don't
think shipping 1.2 without "base" or "dpkg" would be a good idea.
Those on the second line, while nice and sometimes standard, are not
"required" and can be left out of the distribution if necessary.
So... Unless those bugs are fixed or taken off the critical list within
the next two weeks, Debian 1.2 will either slip or be missing some standard
packages.
I've attached the full text of the critical list to the end of this msg.
