Package: debootstrap Version: 0.3.3.1 During a D-I install, I noticed the following error in the syslog:
debootstrap: Warning: obsolete force/refuse option `auto-select' This seems to originate from the following code in the 'sid' script: <snip (extra newlines added for readability)> info UNPACKBASE "Unpacking the base system..." smallyes '' | (repeat 5 in_target_failmsg INST_BASE_FAIL_FIVE \ "Failure while installing base packages. This will be re-attempted up to five times." "" \ dpkg --status-fd 8 --force-auto-select \ --force-overwrite --force-confold --skip-same-version \ --unpack $(debfor $base) 8>&1 1>&7 || echo EXITCODE $?) | dpkg_progress $baseprog $bases UNPACKBASE "Unpacking base system" UNPACKING info CONFBASE "Configuring the base system..." </snip> According to Joey Hess the option was removed in dpkg back in April. The option should at least be removed in the sid script; probably not in scripts for older Debian releases. Unsure about Ubuntu scripts. Cheers, FJP
