--- Begin Message ---Package: loadlin Version: 1.6c.really1.6c-1 Severity: serious The DOS executable loadlin.exe is not rebuilt in the maintainer scripts, and it appears it even cannot be built with programs in Debian since the makefile in the src directory starts as follows: # Makefile for LOADLIN-1.6 (C) 1994..1995 Hans Lermen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> # # To compile with Borland TASM 3.1 # LISTING = , #CCFLAGS = -ml -v -1 -w-pia -f- -y -G -IC:\TC\INCLUDE -LC:\TC\LIB CCFLAGS = -ml -1 -w-pia -f- -G -IC:\TC\INCLUDE -LC:\TC\LIB AS = tasm ...etc This suggests that one needs Borland's TASM to assemble loadlin. There are two possibilities to resolve this: (a) Try if loadlin.exe can be built with one of the free assemblers in Debian, e.g. NASM, and update debian/control and debian/rules accordingly. (b) Failing that, move the loadlin package to the contrib section, see sections 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 of the Policy Manual.
