I'm really not worried about the source debdiff. The fact we've had
a new upload, and new builds, with possibly other packages getting
updated, is why I err on the side of caution.

(That being said, a diffoscope on say the amd64 binaries is really
clean. See libdatrie1 for a prime example of a one-line Makefile
debdiff's leading to less obvious changes on the binary side.)

I don't think that was ever in doubt? I was trying to communicate
“please go through the motions of a proper unblock request, I'm not
taking responsibility for hinting this on my own”.

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to report this or if I should 
have created a completely new bug report.

Stable is also affected by this bug. I'm downloading a post install 
script via https from my preseed file, and this does not longer work on 
stable - while it still does work on oldstable. I just tested this a few 
minutes ago:

Jun 23 12:13:15 log-output: wget: not an http or ftp url: 
https://<redacted>/host/post_install.sh

The wget binary from wget-udeb is also replaced by the symlink from 
busybox-udeb. This is probably related to the update from

busybox-udeb 1:1.35.0-4+b3 amd64

to

busybox-udeb 1:1.35.0-4+b4 amd64

that happened on 2025-05-12 - according to the timestamps of the shown here:

https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm/main/installer-amd64/

It would be great if this could be fixed as well.

Best regards,

Roland Schwarzkopf

This is the same bug, except for another version, so that can be tracked
with the same report (via appropriate found/fixed metadata).

If it were a theoretical problem, I wouldn't be too concerned about it,
but seeing how busybox indeed receives rebuilds (or updates) in stable,
getting the bugfix in there as well would look like a good idea to me.

Maybe it can be batched together with security fixes? (See thread at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts/2025/05/msg00044.html)
