Re: 22 year old bug will be fixed in Trixie release

Hi Andreas,

[public reply]

Thanks for reminding me!  I'll try to prepare some news item
(micronews/bits/...) about this.  (But there's another one on my plate too,
we'll see...)

#186085 is indeed a very relevant bug in this whole epic story.

On this issue with tasksel and installer and blends, there are/were also:
#485817 , #846002 , #851555 and possibly others.  And mailing list posts and
threads:
https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/[email protected]
https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/[email protected] .  I'll see if
I (or another volunteer! </hint!>) find the time to come up with a short and
good and understandable-for-not-too-technical-people text.

C U!

Bye,

Joost
