James Clarke dixit: >I agree, this is bad. However, if this is only affecting sarge chroots,
I never said that. That’s just where I noticed it. Every time anything listed in REMOVEPACKAGES has a different state between the host system and the chroot, and when the chroot’s distro doesn’t actually have that package at all, this makes --update fail. >If it's problematic for wheezy+ chroots, please feel free to change >the severity back to serious. It’s about 50% likely to do that. I can’t construct a realistic case right now, but I think if you add libeatmydata1 to REMOVEPACKAGES, an --update of a wheezy sans backports chroot will fail. Honestly, just quickly upload a fix and let’s not hang ourselves up on the severity. Thanks, //mirabilos -- <igli> exceptions: a truly awful implementation of quite a nice idea. <igli> just about the worst way you could do something like that, afaic. <igli> it's like anti-design. <mirabilos> that too… may I quote you on that? <igli> sure, tho i doubt anyone will listen ;)
