Hmmm. That's very odd. The weekly builds are currently set up to use daily d-i builds rather than what's in the archive, and they've been that way for a long time. As such, we also use sid udebs for debian-installer, as that should match what we'll be getting from the daily d-i builds which are built using sid. Are you sure that the kernel there is old? If so, that's the bug I think. It's difficult for me to check exactly right now what that kernel version is. We've been using the daily d-i builds for a long time, to guard against exactly this kind of breakage with kernel version mismatches.

ACK. That's old wording, and has always been confusing. Given we don't tend to upload to the archive like normal packages anyway, it's best to just remove the "sid" mention altogether I think. Ditto the mentions of sid etc. in the daily-builds area coule do with fixing up I think? -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "Further comment on how I feel about IBM will appear once I've worked out whether they're being malicious or incompetent.
