Wrong. It's debootstrap installing base-files and base-passwd on the same dpkg run. It should install base-passwd first, then all the remaining packages. > Neither dpkg nor debootstrap are at fault: that this problem did not > show up before was an issue akin to relying on hash order. Wrong. debootstrap is at fault for installing base-files and base-passwd on the same dpkg run. Sorry, I'm not going to apply a patch which is based on a twisted interpretation of policy. Your interpretation of policy means base-passwd should not be essential and we should add a lot of depends on base-passwd every time we do a trivial chown in a maintainer script. Since that's a stupid thing to do, I can't consider that to be the correct interpretation of policy, sorry. It's not a bug in base-files (or any other package) to use chown in its postinst. Lot's of packages do that and none of them have to use hardcoded uids in the postinst. That's a STUPID thing to do and that's the reason we made base-passwd essential. Again, this is debootstrap job, and the patch for debootstraop is reasonable and clean. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
