[16:19] <rsalveti> maybe someone can help, but for some reason I don't know yet the package uboot-mkimage is not available anymore at natty's archive, and because of that the arm images are currently failing
[16:19] <rsalveti> as jasper depends on this package
[16:19] <rsalveti> it was available at the archive until dec 14
[16:20] <rsalveti> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/uboot-mkimage shows that the package should be available for natty, but it's not listed at the archive metadata, and apt can't find it
[17:06] <cjwatson> it was deleted per bug 674904
[17:06] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 674904 in uboot-mkimage (Ubuntu) "Please remove uboot-mkimage from the archive (affects: 1) (heat: 106)" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/674904
[17:07] <cjwatson> you can find this out at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/uboot-mkimage/+publishinghistory
[17:08] <cjwatson> oddly, removed *in advance of* the Debian removal
[17:08] <cjwatson> bdrung: ^- I think you should have been more patient before filing that Ubuntu bug, no?  as well as breaking jasper, it breaks debian-installer's build-deps in natty
[17:08] <cjwatson> Riddell: ^- FYI since you executed the removal
[17:18] <rsalveti> hm, ok, let me check the bug
[17:22] <rsalveti> cjwatson: I'm ok for removing this package, as long as we fixed the u-boot one first
[17:22] <rsalveti> to provide this same binary
[17:51] <bdrung> rsalveti: it provides the same binary - or do you want the same binary package?
[17:56] <rsalveti> bdrung: the current u-boot package available at the archive doesn't provide this binary yet
[17:59] <rsalveti> and for arm we need this tool to properly generate the uImage and uInitrd files
[18:50] <bdrung> rsalveti: u-boot and uboot-mkimage both provide mkimage. can't you change the dependency and be happy?
[18:58] <rsalveti> hm, ok, it's on universe
[18:58] <rsalveti> don't know if it needs to be main so we can generate the image
[18:58] <rsalveti> but sure, if we want to use it we first need to change jasper and other tools
[19:03] <bdrung> rsalveti: oh, u-boot needs a MIR
[19:04] <bdrung> rsalveti: which tools are affected?
[19:24] <stgraber> according to rdepends, at least linaro-image-tools (universe) and jasper (main)
[20:12] <cjwatson> if u-boot replaces uboot-mkimage, it doesn't necessarily need an MIR
[20:12] <cjwatson> but u-boot is only built for amd64 right now!
[20:13]  * cjwatson is half-tempted to put uboot-mkimage back in until this is resolved
