Re: dependancy problem in potato
What really matters is that when you select the
Kernel-Source package dselect will also select the
bzip2 package (if it isn't already installed). AFAIK
what section the bzip2 is placed in doesn't matter.
Probably at the same level as the kernel-source or
kernel-package would be good.
