Bug#557322: --exclude='ing essential packages
Ivan Shmakov
Version: 1.0.10lenny1
Severity: minor
debootstrap(8) reads:
--cut--
--exclude=alpha,beta
Comma separated list of packages which will be removed from
download and extract lists. WARNING: you can and probably will
exclude essential packages, be careful using this option.
--cut--
However, it seems that it doesn't allow, say, initscripts &
co. to be excluded:
# debootstrap --verbose --variant=minbase \
--exclude=initscripts,sysv{-rc,init{,-utils}},login,mount \
--include=bind9-host,bzip2,gawk,less,psmisc,tree,zip \
--keep-debootstrap-dir \
--print-debs \

To you exclude a package you also need to exclude all one that depends
on it otherwise it will be added back into the installation list by
the dependency resolution code.
I'm changing the title of the bug to improve this part of the manpage
since it ought to be cited there to avoid confusion.

Is it really the whole problem? What other package(s) I should
--exclude= as well considering the case above?

Please note that:
* the ``Found additional base dependencies:'' line doesn't
report any of the `--exclude='d packages among those brought
by the dependencies;
* chroot(8)ing into the system and `apt-get remove'ing the very
same set of packages:
# apt-get remove initscripts sysv{-rc,init{,-utils}} login mount
doesn't remove any package out of this set; (though it
complains on essentiality, of course.)
TIA.

It is added when debootstrap adds the required packages.
I've prepared a patch to allow it to be removed on the required list
however it is added back in dependency resolution code. I didn't play
with it to check the package that depends on that and will leave it to
you.

Please also consider the case of virtual packages. E.g. --exclude
exim4 should not add exim4 back in due to dependencies on
mail-transport-agent. Instead some other MTA should be used, idealy
one added with --include.

If you wish to drop exim4 you can do it but will also need to drop any
package depending on it otherwise it will be added back.

Please reread what I said. It should not add exim4 back in just
because something depends on mail-transport-agent. Exim4 is also just
an example for a virtual package.

Hi,
Now --exlucde works properly and it is not added again (and maybe
break dependency).
