<joeyh> aj: hmm, debootstrap sid fails now because whiptail depends on libslang2. Wasn't dependency resolution supposed to avoid this kind of problem? <aj> joeyh: only if you use it? <joeyh> sid script uses it, doesn't it? <aj> no <aj> --resolve-deps <aj> for sid, the non dep-resolving fix is to get the overrides changed so libslang2 is the same priority as whatever it depends on <joeyh> hmm, I see. So should d-i start using --resolve-deps to get the added robustness? <joeyh> (libslang2 is already standard, but whiptail is prio important) <aj> d-i betas, yeah; pretty much until the point of release candidates <joeyh> until base is frozen, but not after, because of .. overhead? <aj> the dependency resolver isn't particularly precise or particularly fast
So we need an override to either make whiptail be standard priority, or libslang2 important priority. -- see shy jo
