If they require the kernel-latest packages, and those packages are uninstallable, isn't d-i beta2 currently already broken on s390? FWIW, seeing that they were uninstallable and "pending removal", I went ahead and hinted them out of testing (before this further subthread). I don't see that this does any harm at all; they can certainly get back in if they become installable again, but they're useless to have in testing until then. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
