Bug Description

Hi,

I'm using Colony CD 5, including archive-copier version 0.3.5.

Postinst script uses '-S' (large S) for language-pack-?? and language-support-??.
But package-cache-names takes '-s' (small s) option for ship packages.
It seems '-S' is for task name.

There are synthesised Task headers (actually, nowadays, Archive-Copier-Set
headers) for language-pack-* and language-support-* on the CD to arrange for
archive-copier to be able to copy these packages without having to work out
their dependencies itself.

Instead of guessing, could you describe in more detail exactly what you were
doing (type of install, language, etc.) and exactly what went wrong? Thanks.

I think i had the wrong idea. I'm sorry.

I made Japanese Colony CD 5 that contained language-support-ja, scim(Smart
Common Input Method - this is essential for Japanese user to input Japanese
character) and some other packages.

This CD image works roughly well, but language-pack-ja and language-support-ja
were not installed without the Internet connection.
I tryed changing the postinst script of archive-copier from "-S (package)" to
"-s (package)", and these packages were installed on second stage.

I check dists/breezy/main/binary-i386/Packages on original Colony CD 5 just now,
it includes "Archive-Copier-Set: language-pack-*" field, but my Packages file
doesn't.

OK; if you aren't using my cdimage scripts, then you'll need to add appropriate
Archive-Copier-Set headers yourself.
