dpkg-multicd, slink_cd and Extra virtual packages
I did a test install of Slink today using the CD images from
www.netgod.net; the results were mostly positive except for an
interesting problem I ran into with virtual packages and Extra
priority.
The following packages are on Disk 1 of the slink_cd-produced
CD images, but Depend upon mail-transport-agent:
exmh
smartlist
xmh
mailx
inn
at
mailto
fmirror
innfeed
I decided to install sendmail instead of exim. dpkg-multicd turned out
to not support this very well, as the installation of all the above
packages errored out because their dependancy upon
mail-transport-agent was not fulfilled (since sendmail, which would
have fulfilled it, was on Disk 2 because it was extra priority).
This wasn't a HUGE problem, but I had to run [C]onfigure from the
dselect menu after the install happened.
Is there any way dpkg-multicd can deal with this?
