Sorry for not being -v enough when writing that. The nasty bug I mentioned firstly was #384340 and ucf, not update-rc.d. I guess we can agree on that this is a real but, ucf is in no dependency chain from any essential at all. update-rc.d is used in apache2 in etch, it's a completely different issue. And, your grep is a bit inproper, some of those have an || exit 0 after it ;) (which might be considered b0rked too, depending on the content of the postrm after that line) > I think the requirement that Essential: yes packages be usable when unpacked > but not configured implies that their dependencies must also be minimally > usable when unpacked but not configured, doesn't it? As I mentioned in the preceeding IRC discussion I consider this at most a theoretical bug, but aba might want to have it properly addressed in the release policy if it's considered to be too fuzzy there, which I can understand and think is a reasonable wish. So long, Alfie -- * The "sarge won't release in time" new upstream release. -- Josselin Mouette, changelog.Debian for frozen-bubble (1.0.0-1)
