Bug#1082137: E: Unimplemented function failure on qemu virtual machine.

[Charles Curley]

Package: debian-installer
Version: Weekly build 20240916-09:57
Severity: important
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,

I pulled in the latest weekly build. I then went to install "Debian GNU/Linux testing "Trixie" - Official Snapshot amd64 NETINST with firmware 20240916-09:57" on a virtual amd64 qemu machine. The initial menu came up, and I simply hit the first option. A message of some sort appeared briefly, but scrolled away so fast I was unable to read it. I then had a blank screen with the error message "E: Unimplemented function". None of the CTL-ALT-F keys worked, and I could see no way to examine any log files.

The installer is provided via an ISO image which appears to be a CD-ROM to the virtual machine. There is plenty of virtual RAM (3072 MiB) and disk space (7.0 GiB). A USB stick provides a preseed file and other goodies. The boot process never got far enough for the USB stick to matter.

Using an installation from an earlier weekly build (20240909-03:16), I mounted the image, and ran md5sum on the md5sum.txt file. This reported no errors. Digital signatures and SHA[512|256]sums all checked out at download time, and the checksums just now.

Previous weekly releases have worked just fine on this virtual machine, up to and including 20240909-03:16.

This is fixed in espeakup 1:0.90-15 and should have been included in
today's daily build, but it seems it didn't get built, I don't know why?

Because:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libalien-wxwidgets-perl : Depends: libwxgtk3.2-dev (< 3.2.6~) but 3.2.6+dfsg-1 is to be installed
Depends: libwxgtk-media3.2-dev (< 3.2.6~) but 3.2.6+dfsg-1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

See the #1081978 / #1081979 pair.


Cheers,

This bug appears to be fixed. I pulled in this week's d-i (30
September), and got a good installation from it.

As far as I am concerned, you are welcome to close this. However I note
that #1081978 / #1081979 don't seem to be closed.

Thank you all.
