As soon as you mix an unstable suite with a stable suite, you can no longer expect repeated builds to give you the same results each time. Unstable changes all the time, that's why it's unstable. If you want reproducible results, create your own repository which contains exactly the versions you want to add to the stable base. You should probably also convert the packages you want from Debian to work as Emdebian Grip (using apt-grip) and put those into the repository. Mixing Debian unstable with Emdebian stable is a particularly bad idea because all the strict dependencies will change - twice a day. You were lucky for a while - that kind of luck doesn't last. multistrap cannot solve problems like this. Create a stable repository containing the mix of packages which you need and you'll get stable results. > Maybe some linkage error after the Squeeze release No, probably a change in the versions available in unstable. >, so I > switched from suite=squeeze to suite=stable.

The package data has changed for unstable. It will change twice a day, every day. > Is some multistrap option important now, which i didn't set before? No. It's that you're mixing unstable with stable, so the results will change constantly. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
