I agree that i386 should probably get added too. Unless there is something hardware specific about the package, all EFI packages should work on ia64 i386 and amd64. > Note that efi-reader is a D-I component. It is not a regular package.

It just means that nobody has looked at it. Either because of lack of interrest or not having the proper hardware. I would like it to stay until someone can say that it doesn't make sense to have that package on that arch. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
