Package: base-files Version: 4.0.5 4 Severity: important Hi Santiago,
In version 4.0.5 you write: > * Changed awk from Depends to Pre-Depends. Closes: #314571, #469552. > This is required to make the awk virtual package to be truly essential, The same situation happened in etch with mktemp. I think it would make sense to: - add such a pre-dependency to base-files for lenny aswell, so people that used sarge, then etch and now upgrade to lenny and still miss mktemp, will actually pull it in so we know this inconsistency is out of the way for the future, and: - perhaps to the same for a stable update for base files ? It's quite late indeed, but isn't it better to still try to fix what we can here? thanks, Thijs
