The problem is that we cannot elevate gnumach(-dev)'s priority, as it is only available on i386 (aka. Debian GNU/Linux on i386) and it is imperative that gnumach be not installed by default there. Due to current technical limitations, Priorities have to be the same among architectures, so gnumach(-dev) is Priority: optional on hurd-i386 for the time. Furthermore, there are related issues with Build-Essential I cannot recite fully at the moment. The bottom line is that we let debootstrap install libc0.3-dev as Build-Essential, which drags in hurd-dev and gnumach-dev due to Dependencies. If we dropped the Depends:, we'd lose --variant=buildd feature of debootstrap, which would be a pity and not worth the effort. So I think leaving things like there are for the time being (until "arch-specific overrides" are put into place, so that packages can have different priorities on different arches) is alright. cheers, Michael PS: Thanks for all the triaging! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
