Okay, findings with the new install test:
1. autodebathenify wasn't building debathena-system packages for i386,
leading to a few problems. I've corrected this and the i386 packages
should be built later today.
2. During the install of debathena-workstation, some errors involving
exim:
The following packages are BROKEN:
exim4
[...]
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
exim4: Depends: exim4-daemon-light but it is not installable or
exim4-daemon-heavy but it is not installable or
exim4-daemon-custom which is a virtual package.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
exim4 [Not Installed]
exim4 is not cleanly installable because of debathena-msmtp-mta; no
mystery there. I don't know why aptitude wants to install exim4 in the
first place. The most likely candidate seems to be mailx, which Depends
on "exim4 | mail-transport-agent", but even that should be satisfiable
without exim.
3. debathena-workstation includes debathena-build-depends, which pulls
in debathena-debian-dev, which pulls in apt-file. I'm thinking these
should be decoupled; workstation should just be about graphical
integration, and the "will this machine be used for development"
installer question should install debathena-build-depends. Opinions?
4. debathena-cluster-software installs cleanly with the changes I've
made.
