Bug#1086476: kbd-chooser: diff for NMU version 1.71+nmu1

[Cyril Brulebois]

Adding debian-cd@ to the loop to be extra sure we're not missing anything
obvious


some weeks ago I had some writing with Phil Hands, and
that lead to me noticing, that kbd-chooser is included in our
netboot images

I don't think so? It doesn't show up anywhere in debian-installer build logs
(as in https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=debian-installer), it
doesn't show up anywhere in debian-installer daily build logs (as in
dillon:/srv/d-i.debian.org/www/daily-images).

and as well in mini.iso images built by Phil's branch2repo CI on Salsa.

I can imagine why that would be the case but I'm not going to look into that
given past events.

That will be debian-cd I guess, but I couldn't find any mention of
kbd-chooser in debian-cd...

I don't see why debian-cd would have to care about kbd-chooser specifically,
no.

Will debian-cd builds break, when kbd-chooser is removed from the archive?

I don't think it will, and if it does, we can investigate at that point.

You can check the contents of the amd64 netinst image here:
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/amd64/list-cd/debian-12.8.0-amd64-netinst.list.gz
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/current/amd64/list-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.list.gz

No kbd-chooser there

Hi,

Not in netinst, that's correct, but in netboot (aka mini.iso).
There I can choose kbd-chooser in expert mode via "load installer
components".

It's listed because it's available on the network mirror. That doesn't
mean it's included in any way in there.

If I choose it, it gets loaded and a menu entry appears in the d-i main
menu.
But the step fails, when I choose the menu entry.


So, I will request its removal from unstable (if we don't get other info
from debian-cd).

Given that information, could you drop your NMU from the DELAYED queue?
