On another look, although it is technically still a bug for other reasons, u-boot-sunxi actually does include u-boot-tools in Recommends, so it is not appropriate to say it has a missing dependency! Recommends are expected to be installed in all but unusual situations. If Recommends are disabled, it is up to the user to handle the problems that arise from missing Recommends. >> Test 3 : Install u-boot-sunxi >> ---------------------------- >> root@hn-cubietruck-120:~# TARGET=/usr/lib/u-boot/Cubietruck >> /usr/bin/u-boot-install-sunxi /dev/mmcblk1 >> /usr/bin/u-boot-install-sunxi: mkimage: command not found.

Though the real problem is that it does not use mkimage at all anymore, but still checks for it. But thank you for pointing this out; I may need to check if there are any other reasons it should Recommend u-boot-tools! live well, vagrant
