Good night folks,

normally cdrom drives are marked with `noauto' in the /etc/fstab file
to provide a smooth booting process.  Does Debian provide a tool that
regularily tries to mount the cdrom drive?  If not, I would be happy
to contribute with one and its manpage.

I'm not sure to which package it then should belong.  The cron
package?  Another base package?  A package of it's own?  I won't do
that, just ad an option to one of the base packages.

Have a nice sleep,

	Joey

Subject: copyright occurs twice

Package: mkisofs
Version: 1.05-1

The files /usr/doc/copyright/mkisofs and /usr/doc/mkisofs/README.DEBIAN
are exactly the same.  I'm sure the first of them is enough.

Regards,

	Martin

As the subject states ... uucp programs are still a.out (read: need
libc4:
	$ ldd /usr/bin/uucp
	libc.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.6pl27) => /lib/libc.so.4.6.27

I tried to compile uucp-1.06.1-2.tar.gz ... compilation was ok,
but ./debian.rules binary doesn't go through.  It complains about
missing conffiles.

Is the maintainer still alive?

Subject: mkisofs stops if an error occurs

Package: mkisofs
Version: 1.05-1

mkisofs unfortunately stops if a permission problem occors on the 
source filesystem, like a directory isn't world executable or readable.

I would appreciate if it would report a warning and go on.  Some users
(like myself) can't provide two times 650 MB for creating an image, instead
they have to nfs-mount all the stuff somewhere.  If there is "confidential"
stuff in a dirctory

Package: mkisofs
Version: 1.05-1

Mkisofs unfortunately stops if a permission problem occors on the
source filesystem, like a directory isn't world executable or readable.

I would appreciate if it would report a warning and go on.  Some users
(like myself) can't provide two times 650 MB space just for creating an
cd image, instead they have to nfs-mount all the stuff somewhere.  If
there is "confidential" stuff in a dirctory that should not occur on the
cdrom then mkisofs suddenly stops.

Regards,

	Martin

PS: If there is another bugreport beginning like this than it should be
reportet as a bug against mailx, because I pressed Ctrl-C to abort. Mailx
must not send that mail out...

Package: mkisofs
Version: 1.05-1

I would like to add this as a hint to the existing bugreport
but as usual I can't find it.  I even haven't received a
confirmation.  Anyway...

I would appreciate if mkisofs would test each file for read access
while it builds its directory structure and _before_ it tries to
create the image (and would stop after it has built 600 of 650 MB).
This could save the user a lot of time, especially if the machine
that builds the image isn't the fastest one.

Regards,

	Martin

Good day folks,

I have worked with the mSQL database engine for some time now and
decided to package it for Debian Linux.  Unfortunately I'm not the
only one that works on this, but my counterpart seems to be quite slow
with answering his mails so I steped forward and finished the package
without waiting for his replies.

I'm now at the point where I for myself use the package and where I
would like to invite everyone to take this package into her/his
personal betatest and send me comments and enhancements.

There is a todo-list but I think I will release it even without having
done everything noted there. :-/

a) I have splitted the package into 4 parts to provide a maximum of
   flexibility.

   - libmsql1
     contains the shared library (only a static lib on a.out systems)
     all other packages depend on it.

   - msqld
     contains the database engine itself

   - msqladmin
     contains some programs to maintain the engine and databases

   - msql
     contains user programs to manipulate databases

   - msqlperl
     contains a library for perl that provides an easy environment for
     programing database applications

b) This mSQL package needs a special user id `msql' to maintain
   databases.  Please make sure that a user and a group with that name
   exists. (on my system they are uid=gid=25, if you choose different
   values, you HAVE TO recompile the package)

   Unfortunately Bruce hasn't reallocated one for me but it's on his
   list. I would recommend an entry similar to the following in your
   password file:

   msql:password:25:25:mSQL Database Manager:/var/lib/msql:/bin/sh

   Then the whole engine can be controlled by a special user account.
   This account may receive some mails so please also make sure that
   they are read. ;-)

c) Does it make sense to put msqlperl into the misc section (it's as
   free as perl itself), while libmsql1 on which it depends has to go
   into the non-free section?


You will find the package as source, diff and .deb's at the following
location: ftp.infodrom.north.de in /pub/people/joey/debian/beta.

Please send me comments about it.

Have a pleasant weekend,

	Joey

Good evening folks,

as the m68k people are coming and working harder, many of us are
willing to provide packages that also run on their machines.

Is there a way to test-compile those packages on a m68k machine that
is online and that could be accessed just like master?

Regards,

	Joey

Hi,

The next Release of Lilo will not depend on mbr. liloconfig will look
for mbr.b and provide an option to use it interactively. Therefore
I will change it to Suggested: mbr

Hi,

the new liloconfig I'm currently writing will be included in lilo_18-1 and
should be able to install a MBR to solve this problem. It will interactively
generate the lilo.conf and install the mbr if needed.

Greetings
Bernd

It will be in the next release...

Yes, we may have a unique solution, but i'm not sure that _all_ the Debian
mail reader packages could be configured to use this solution.

   (If you're installing libpaper, be warned that it _will_ overwrite
    your /etc/papersize without asking).
 - gs patched so that it _can_ be installed setuid for people using
   svga a lot (not adviced though). If installed setuid, gs will
   always issue the message "using svga driver ...", whatever
   driver you are using.
 - the wrapper around gs will add "-sDEVICE=lvga256" if you're starting
   gs from the console, to the front of the argument-list (so that it's
   still overridable by the user).
 - GNU version gs-3.33 comming up soon (promise)

there is no compress programm. 
news is not working o.k. (send-uucp depends on compress if you want to
use compress (that's default)). 

compress should be a link to gzip ?

The next wg15-locale package must provide a symbolic link then
 (/usr/share/i18n -> /usr/share/nls) .

   workaround for this.

Sorry, too late... But, I'll repair this...

Yes, this problem is not with 9wm...
Indeed, I have also reproduce the problem without any window manager. 
But, there is no problem with fvwm and twm...

RTMUE>If this is not resolvable, perhaps xcoral should have a dependency
RTMUE>on fvwm?

No, because xcoral + twm (xbase) work together.
I think, we might forward this bug to the upstream maintainer...

Xosview should be able to monitor the /dev/ttyS* lines too; since nowadays
(with the advent of mgetty) a lot of people use /dev/ttyS* for dialout.

Package: xosview
Version: 1.3.2-6

Xosview only reads the file XOSView (and ~/.Xdefaults) when evaluating 
its X resources. It does this by doing all the reading by foot (calling
XrmGetFileDatabase() etc.). 
This is IMO the wrong way to do it; the application should use 
XtGetApplicationResources() (as xsysinfo does it).  Using 
XtGetApplicationResources() makes it possible to have a set of
Application-Default-files which can conditionally be used; the classic
use of this is to have a 'Foo' and a 'Foo-color' resource file, where
'Foo' contains only black & white stuff and 'Foo-color' contains the color
definition and #includes 'Foo'. By doing it this way you can put 

#ifdef COLOR
*customization:	-color
#endif

...

into your /etc/X11/XDefaults line and all (correctly configured) 
applications look their color configuration up in *-color application 
definitions.

David

PS:  This bug should probably forwarded to the upstream maintainer.
PPS: If I knew enough C++ and if I understood the code dependencies,
     I had fixed this myself.

Oh, bad news.

I do not want you anything :) , but

i'd vote for 2.

Subject: index.html ist installed a+x

Package: apache
Version: 1.0.5-1

I don't know why but the index.html file that is installed
in /var/web/webspace is of mode 755 instead of 644. I think
this is a bug, right?

Regards,

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.3.10

you should add +clearsig to the pgp paramterers 
(pgp is callen when i start dpkg-buildpkg). on my system,
pgp doesn't create clear sigs, and changing /etc/pgp-i.conf doesn't
help. but that's a diffrent problem. dpkg should use +clearsig in any
case, because it doesn't work without.

It looks reasonable, but I have the following complaints:

Your `debian/README' should be called `debian/copyright'.

Your binary-root target scheme is redundant - this is now handled by
dpkg-buildpackage.

The copyright file should be in /usr/doc/metamail/copyright, not in
/usr/doc/copyright.

You must install the changelogs.

Your libc dependencies don't use dpkg-shlibdeps.

Your Standards-Version is old, of course - get dpkg 1.3.14 (which will
be out later today) and check the differences to 2.1.0.0 (available in
/usr/doc/dpkg).

Your upload (.changes file) doesn't include the .orig.tar.gz.

You should probably read the final chapter of the policy manual and
use it as a checklist.

It has already done this for you - and it has guessed wrong.  The
first time, when you're converting the package, you have to use the
`-sa' option to dpkg-buildpackage or dpkg-genchanges to get it to
include the .orig.tar.gz.

Oh, and there's no need to post the .dsc.  The .changes is adequate.

I have clarified the policy in 2.1.0.0 (dpkg 1.3.14), which will be
out later today.

Packages which Recommend non-free or contrib packages must (almost
always) go in contrib.

No, it wouldn't have any problems.  You'll still find that dselect
complains rather, but it's better to make software available than not,
if we can.

If people don't like that they can deselect all `contrib' packages.

My comments:

4.4 How should I install a non-Debian package?                        

The hyperlink to the guidelines is broken and should in any case refer
to the new manuals instead.

5.9 How can I check that I'm using a Debian system?                   

Your check for whether something is a Debian system is wrong.  If you
want to know whether the system has dpkg you should check for `dpkg'
on the path or in /usr/bin.  Data formats and files in /var/lib/dpkg
may change without warning.  If you want to know whether the system is
a real Debian system then /etc/debian_version is the answer.

6.1 What is a Debian package?

The source package format is changing.  You should tell people about
dpkg-source, and/or give the instructions for unpacking a Debian
source package without it.

6.2 What is the format of a Debian package?

The internal structure of a .deb file is NOT a generally published
interface.  Please DO NOT put it in the FAQ (it's fine to refer to the
deb(5) and deb-old(5) manpages

Instead, tell people to use dpkg-deb.  dpkg-deb is the supported
mechanism for manipulating .deb files.

6.4 What's a Debian control file?                                      

Refer to the programmers' manual, not to deb-control(5).  The latter
is wildly out of date.  If you wish to give an example, please use
mixed case in the field names (this is conventional now, and all upper
case can give some obscure problems in some obscure situations).

6.6 What's a Debian preinst, postinst, prerm, and postrm script?      

The layout of /var/lib/dpkg is internal to dpkg and may change without
announcement at any moment.  You should at least say this - though it
can be useful for users to know where to find scripts for debugging &c
they should not write programs that look at /var/lib/dpkg.

The supported way to get a list of files in a package is dpkg -L.

6.7 What's a Required/Important/Standard/Optional/Extra package?        

This information is also in the policy manual, phrased slightly
differently.  I don't know what you want to do about this, if
anything.

6.8 What's a Virtual Package?                                            
6.9 What is meant by saying that a file                                         
Depends/Recommends/Suggests/Conflicts/Replaces/Provides another package ?
6.10 What is meant by Pre-Depends?                     

These things are now documented in the programmers' manual.  You could
perhaps at least mention these.  Obviously they have a different
significance for users than for programmers, so perhaps it's
reasonable to have two different descriptions.

7.1 What program(s) does Debian provide for managing its packages?      

You've mentioned /var/lib/dpkg again.

Removing a package (as opposed to purging it) leaves _all_ the
configuration info, not just those marked as dpkg conffiles.  Other
kinds of configuration are managed by maintainer scripts, but they
should behave the same way wrt purge vs. remove.

8.7 How can I get/install the Debian distribution from my own hard disk?

Hard disk based installation (ie, mounting a hard disk partition and
installing the packages from it) is supported by dselect.

8.10 What's the latest version of Debian?

You have no information here about 1.1.x (aka buzz-fixed).  Also, you
say `three months from today' where `today' means about 2 months ago.

11.4 How do I override a file installed by a package so that a different
version can be used instead?                                          

Your invocation of dpkg-divert (not dpkg-override) is entirely wrong.
You mean
  dpkg-divert --add /bin/login
or
  dpkg-divert --divert /bin/login.debian /bin/login
or
  dpkg-divert --rename /bin/login
or some combination of these.

The documentation is in the usage message for dpkg-divert and in the
appropriate section of the programmers' manual.  The diversions.txt.gz
file is obsolete and not installed any more.

11.5 How can I have my locally-built package included in the list of available
packages that the package management system knows about?                

You can use dselect's idea of `local hierarchies' here too.

13.1 Are there logs of known bugs?       

debian-bugs/text no longer exists; debian-bugs/html is simply a link
into WebPages.

I have added

 which are buggy and no longer maintained, but are preserved for
 backward compatibility, or
to the policy manual's list of kinds of package which go in contrib.

Mmm.  We already have dpkg --print-architecture which prints `i386' on
those systems, and putting i386-debian-linux-gnu (or whatever)
together yourself is fine.

Is GCC really such a special case ?  If so I'll take dpkg
--print-gnu-build-architecture out again ...

Date: Fri, 30 Aug 1996 04:52:11 GMT

Following up my previous message...  Another message from bugtraq,
which contains a patch to fix the libXt buffer overrun.  I haven't
verified if the fix is indeed in the (just released) XFree86-3.1.2F
- - can't get to ftp.xfree86.org right now (too many users), and can't
find this version on mirror sites yet.

Marek

[REW: I'm not sure that this made it into 3.1.2F. The X consortium
fixed a similar bug, which very likely came in too late (the 27th) to
make it into 3.1.2F. As an aside, the release of 3.1.2F was MUCH too
hasty. (These security bugs have nothing to do with that though.)]

Why does movemail need to be setuid root ?!

You mean:
 dpkg --fsys-tarfile .../editors/emacs_19.31-2.deb |tar tzvf - |grep movemail
or even, since you just wanted it listed:
 dpkg --contents .../editors/emacs_19.31-2.deb |grep movemail

The `ar' format is a piece of internal knowledge which you shouldn't
need to make use of.

With the new source format obsoleting it, dchanges should be removed

I've just done some experiments and with the function
  (defun spong (&optional x)
    (interactive "p")
    (message (prin1-to-string x)))
calling it interactively with no prefix arg gives x=1.  With a prefix
arg x is the prefix arg.  You can call it non-interactively with `nil'
or `t'.

dpkg-gencontrol creates no priority and section entries in

is this ok or is this a bug ? 

example :

 Mpage  reads  plain text files or PostScript documents and prints them

I'm trying to decide if this is a bug in mt, or my relative
inexperience with tape drives.  If it's a bug I'll report it, and
it'll probably have to go to the upstream maintainers.

Basically I have a HP SCSI-II DAT drive (C1533A) that, according to
HP, supports the Read Position command.  However "mt --tell" which
supposedly depends on that command fails.

# mt --file /dev/nst0 tell
mt: /dev/nst0: Function not implemented

Any idea why?

Thanks

Thank you!

Well, my point was that newaliases isn't _on_ my system, and if it
fails the postinst exists with an error -- meaning dpkg thinks it is
failed.

Yeah, hostname 1.9 accepted the single dash, even though it doesn't
claim to in its help -- 2.0 works the standard GNU way of wanting
double dashs for any long option name.

Or you could filter it out by redirecting stdout and stderr through
sed or something.

You need to ask the base disk maintainer (Bruce?) to add the user to
the passwd entry.

Ugh, I've been reading about problems with this (getting ahold of the
list mainter). It looks like they might be switching servers so
somebody with more time can handle all the devel requests...

You have better things to do than to stamp about for the rest of your
life. Also, you will never get anyone's attention when you address them as
"Hey stupid!".
No matter that I understand your desire to have sortable dates, I will
continue to write my checks with middle-endian dates, if for no other
reason than that, otherwise, my "stupid" bank will not be able to cash it.

hostname 1.9 and 2.0 both use the standard gnu way but hostname 1.9
only checked for one option (it just takes the option -f from -fqdn
and ignores the options -q -d -n). hostname 2.0 checks the other
options too and prints an error message for the unknown option(s).


Thanks,

Note that if menu-bar-mode uses (interactive "p") the default argument
from M-x would be "1".

1) Middle endian dates *are* stupid.  Ian didn't say the people using
them were (though I have my suspicions about what he really thinks :>)

2) For now (probably forever), we in America, in many areas, are stuck
with them.

3) People should be encouraged not to use them.

3) If you use the format "23 Aug 1996", even the bank can figure it out.

4) This is not a big deal.  Use the better format when you can, and
use the stupid one when you have to.

5) Debian should use either the big or little endian format and always
use four digits for the year.  That way we won't have trouble when the
millenium hits, and you can always tell by looking if it's big or
little endian.

Package: kernel-source
Version: 2.0.6

The kernel headers /usr/include/{linux,asm,scsi,net} should
be a symlink to /usr/src/linux/{linux,asm,scsi,net} and
not installed as "real" files. Or maybe something like
/lib/modules/current?
When compiling a new kernel version, one often forgets to
update the kernel headers. I did.

> Why does movemail need to be setuid root ?!

Well, the package as I inherited had the following in debian.rules:

	# movemail is installed setuid so that POP can work.  (This is
	# safe.)
	chmod u+s  \
	  debian-tmp/usr/lib/emacs/$(v)/$(t)/movemail

I suspect this has to do with using movemail locally on a machine
which is also a pop server, but I haven't verified that. (The emacs
build "blessmail" process will only make it setgid mail.)  Anyone else
remember?

> dpkg --fsys-tarfile .../editors/emacs_19.31-2.deb |tar tzvf - |grep movemail

Nope, doesn't work.  Ahh -- it's tar tvf, not tar tzvf.

> dpkg --contents .../editors/emacs_19.31-2.deb |grep movemail

Ah, indeed.  For some reason I thought it didn't give the modes, but I
was probably confusing it with --listfiles, which doesn't.

Still haven't heard from the original reporter what, if anything,
explains why his movemail wasn't installed properly...

That's because (interactive "p") converts to a number. Not sure why
that's relevant, since menu-bar-mode uses (interactive "P"):
	p -- Prefix arg converted to number.  Does not do I/O.
	P -- Prefix arg in raw form.  Does not do I/O.
which, as I suggested earlier, passes nil for no argument.

Since noone has answered my question I've done what seemed the right
thing:

The next dpkg upload will be accompanied by the manuals in gzipped
PostScript (formatted for A4) and HTML in gzipped tarfiles, as
separate files in the upload.

Ian.

debian-manuals (2.1.0.0) unstable;

  * Upstream changelog must be installed too (was just recommended).

  * Modification to use dpkg-shlibdeps added to conversion instructions.
  * Packages which are buggy and orphaned but which are preserved for
    compatibility go in contrib.

  * Programmers' manual source package section refers to conversion
    instructions in policy manual.
  * Make it clear that recommending a non-free or contrib package puts a
    package in contrib.

debian-manuals (2.0.1.0) unstable;

  * varargs.h and libtermcap are obsolete - use stdarg.h and ncurses.
  * Shared library link/library ordering corrected (aargh).
  * When to byte-compile Elisp files.
  * Missing final newlines not represented by dpkg-source.

  * Must post upload announcements to debian-changes.
  * Moved some sections into new `configuring and building' chapter.
  * Typo fixes.

Ian,

Would you consider splitting dpkg into runtime and developers packages?
It's getting big, and the space on the base system is limited.

	Thanks

I've done a quick check of which files would go in which package, and
the results are (see below):
 dpkg:         476K

I'm inclined to make the change.

This is not a bug but a failure to read the documentation - see below.
I'm closing the report.

Ian.

>From the Debian policy manual:
  3.1.5 Including Priority and Section in the .deb control file         

   If a user installs a package which is not part of the standard       
   distribution, or without downloading and updating from a new Packages
   file, the information about the priority and section of a package will
   be absent, and the dselect package listing will have the package   
   listed under `unclassified'. In order to improve this it is
   permissible to use the -is, -isp or -ip option to dpkg-gencontrol, so
   that the Section and/or Priority is copied into the actual control
   information in the .deb file. However, if you do this you should make   
   sure you keep the information up to date so that users are not shown  
   conflicting information.                                 

>From dpkg-gencontrol's usage message:

The web pages are in a bit of flux right now; see recent mail on
debian-private.  I've been keeping the latest docs in
debian/doc/package-developer on the ftp site at least.  I just dashed
off a quick script to do that.

He wasn't the guy on linux-security who unsetuidded everything and

Forgive my ignorance, but could it not use `p' rather than `P' ?

Package: mount, kernel
Version: 2.5j-1.1, 2.0.0 (upstream)

I did a df while I had NFS partitions mounted which were inaccessible
due to network lossage:

Sep  2 01:06:15 chiark kernel: NFS server nfs-uxsuale/%/%N.cat not responding, timed out.
Sep  2 01:06:15 chiark kernel: nfs_statfs: statfs error = 5

The server was called nfs-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk.  This error message is
bizarre and corrupted.

Subject:      rwhod buffer overflow
Date: 	Wed, 21 Aug 1996 16:38:57 -0400

There is a remote buffer overflow in the path variable in rwhod.c in the
line: (void) sprintf(path, "whod.%s", wd.wd_hostname);

Although wd_hostname is defined to be only 32 characters, it is read as
part of the wd structure from a remote host through a UDP packet and can
be as large as the remainder of the structure starting at that point.

Through examining the source this appears to be a problem in current
OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, and Linux distributions.  Through penetration
testing I have also found this problem present on AIX; I have not examined
other platforms running rwhod and so do not know about their potential
vulnerability.

I have succesfully exploited this remotely to produce undesirable effects
(segfaults and overwriting argv[0] on different OSes), I have not spent
sufficient time on this to determine exactly how/if to compromise root
directly with this overflow, but it is definitely something that should be
corrected.

I would suggest prior to the sprintf line you add something to the effect:
if(strlen(wd.wd_hostname) >= sizeof(wd.wd_hostname)) {
  syslog(LOG_WARNING, "possible hostname overflow attack apparently from %x",
         from.sin_addr);
  continue;
  }

                   Program: /usr/sbin/rwhod
Affected Operating Systems: OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Linux, AIX, others.
                            rwhod must be running on the system
              Requirements: Ability to send UDP packet to target host
       Security Compromise: Possible denial of service, Possible annoyance,
                            Possibly root compromise?
                    Author: Dave M. (davem@iss.net)
                  Synopsis: rwhod reads a structure from a udp packet and
                            does not check the hostname member of the
                            structure for being the expected size.

There's no easy way to back out a bug that has been recently submitted.

Eventually, it can be disabled by submitting a "done" on the bug, but
that doesn't work until the bug has been assigned a number -- which can
take a very significant piece of time.

Suggestions:
(a) provide a never-mind@bugs.debian.org, which dequeues the most recently
submitted bug (sending a copy back) based on the sender's email address,
or (if the most recently submitted bug report has been assigned a bug 
number) provide a "done" from the submitter.

(b) or, just speed up the system so that turn around time is on the order
of a couple minutes or less.

Ack -- I'm embarassed.  VM found another movemail in my path, a broken
one, and used that instead.

But this seem to have exposed a real bug: why *is* the real movemail
suid root?

This is really off-topic, but it's one of my pet peeves. Sorry.

I've had some experience with how people from all over the world
write dates. I used to fix dates by hand for the LSM database
(it's automatic now, and people who send them must check
them). The only official LSM date format is ddMMMyy, where dd
is two digits for day of month, MMM is first the letters of the
English name of the month, and yy is the last two digits of the
year (which lets us reach the 2090's). All other date formats
seem to invite a large number of errors. For reasons unknown,
people _will_ write dates in the form yyyy-dd-mm. Don't ask me
why, but they do. Up to several percent of them.

Having the month spelled out as text is the only way to make
dates unambiguous.

(I don't care if date formats are stupid or not, just whether
they work.)

Why in the world wouldn't you want to require 4 digits for the date?
Storage is not that expensive, and who wants to always have to special
case the weird wrap around at 00?  

Without the special casing, things break in 4 years.  By requiring 2
extra characters, you buy yourself an extra eight thousand years or
so, and if humans are still using any of these systems by then I'd be
surprised (if I weren't dead).

It's because they will sort properly with a standard alphabetical
sort, like that used by "ls", or perl's default "sort", etc.

As long as you disallow middle endian, the four digit year makes
little or big endian unambiguous.

Because of all the usual bad reasons, and one good one: it
doesn't matter.  The LSM dates are always past tense, and
making the new requirement is trivial, all of thirty seconds
of coding.  Converting all old dates (once they've been checked)
is also trivial.

Ambiguity is the problem with LSM, not Y2K.

yyy-mm-dd will sort properly, but yyyy-dd-mm will not.

Only if you assume people don't make errors. If I tell you that
I wrote something 1996-10-09, you must either assume I _really_
meant 1996-09-10, or that I am a liar. With 10SEP96 (or 10SEP1996)
there is no problem.

That's the problem, isn't it? People do make mistakes, and the
date format might as well guard against it, if the checking
can't be done at the input stage.

Hello Ian,

I  diskussed that with Richard in private email earlier and what i proposed
was:

1. Provide a link /usr/lib/<package>/local pointing to /etc/local/<package>.
   (One might as well use /etc/alternatives ...)

2. At installation time ask the installer where the local directory is
   located and make create a link /etc/local/<package> to the location
   given by the installing person.

Thus there is a well-defined path at compile time which is configurable
at run-time.  The reaseon for the redirection through /etc is the support
of read-only media (CD-ROM or NFS-shares).

Comments?

Package: hello
Version: 1.3-12

1) Line 196-201 contain the following loop:
	  d = dirs;
	  do
	    {
	      sprintf (mailname, "%s/%s", *d, user);
	      mailfd = open (mailname, O_RDONLY);
	    } while (mailfd == -1 && (errno == ENOENT || errno == ENOTDIR));

The loop variable, d, is not incremented. Hello will not exit if
a) $MAIL is not set, and b) /usr/spool/mail is not the user's mailbox.

2) `hello' looks under /usr/spool rather than /var/spool.
(Not serious, but IMHO, should be corrected.)

3) `hello' lacks a manpage.

No. *Everything* is platform independent except the executable binaries
(of course) and .base and .fmt files, but the latter are generated at
installation time anyway.

Much care had been taken by D.E.Knuth to make .dvi .tfm and .pk files
platform and especially endianness independent. All other files of the TeX
system are simple ASCII textfiles.

Package: vm
Version: 5.95beta-2

vm's postinst follows /usr/lib/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el and
modifies the file it ultimately points to in order to arrange for its
initialization code to be run at startup.

It should, instead, place the vm-init.el file in the directory
/etc/emacs/site-start.d.  When this is done it should depend on emacs
being >= 19.34-2 (unless someone knows earlier versions of the emacs
package which have this directory.)

Do not forget that upgrading to a later version of vm shouldn't cause
it to install itself twice.

(I'll find some time to sort all my packages out soon, honest.. l-)

Package: bootdisk
Version: boot1440.bin (1996_7_14)

The following happened twice on two different systems (a 486 and a P6)
while attempting to make a fresh installation of Debian 1.1.7:
When installing the kernel, I selected the module for nfs filesystem
support. I was then asked to insert again the boot-disk, got a couple of
error
messages which went by too quickly to read (something 'unresolved'),
and when attempting to include the module for nfs, it said:
'module symbols (2.0.6) do not match your linux (2.0.6)'.
It seems to me that the modules on the boot-disk are broken.

(I was able to work around this problem by installing a kernel with
full network support, which I needed for proceeding with the
installation,
by hand.)

Further suggestion: It would be helpful for everybody to have a log-file
of the
installation process being generated automatically.

Package: ftp.debian.org
Version: 1.1.7

Repeatedly, I faced problems with a new installation and with
upgrades coming from an out-of-date Packages file and/or of
an incomplete set of packages.
I have ignored missing packages when they were just recommended
but not available. Currently, however, there is the package gs_4.01
in /non-free, which *depends* on gsfonts (>=4.01), libpaper (>=1.0-1),
both of which are not availabe, however, in the stable tree.
An older version of gs, which is in /buzz and which would do with
the existing gsfonts package, cannot be installed, because dselect
picks only the newest version.

Perhaps it would be possible to automatically generate up-to-date
Packages files and to automatically check whether all the packages
others depend on are really there.

Package: dselect
Version: 1.2.12 (a.out) and 1.2.11elf

In upgrading from 0.93R6 to 1.1 I had the following problem running
dselect: The installation of perl failed because libgdbm was not
installed,
although the latter was selected. Instead of proceeding with the
installation,
which would obviously have solved the problem in a second run, it
terminated.
Only after stepping out and installing libgdbm by dpkg -iB by hand could
I
resume the installation by dselect. Fortunately, there was no similar
problem
with the other packages.
The very same problem but with different packages (sorry, I forgot
which),
happened recently by making a fresh installation on a new computer.
This time, the version of dselect was 1.2.11elf. Again, I solved the
problem by dpkg -iB on the missing package which was selected but not
processed because the installation stopped prematurely. (Rerunning it
stopped always at the same point)

I guess that a quick fix would be to let the installation proceed and
to ask for a further run at the end.

I didn't see anything wrong with this the first time you posted it.
(Apparently no one else did either) I have assumed that the seperate
packaging was for those who only want the documents and don't wish to
unpack dpkg to get it. It should also allow linking it with the web site,
without the rest of dpkg.
Thank you, Ian, for your wonderful effort in producing this fine manual.
I'm sure we will be reading it any time we are uncertain (or challenged)
about proper package building. I know that I will.

That's probably why he didn't address anybody that way. I'll never  
understand why people can't distinguish between "this idea is stupid" and  
"you are stupid". It's not a very difficult concept, after all.

Make that understandable dates. The xx/yy/zz dates all too often aren't.

Which day is 10/11/12? Unless you know which part of the world the writer  
lived in, it's impossible to say.

I have no idea about your checks, but I really don't care. I do care about  
what people write, say, on mailing lists.

And really, the xx/yy/zz date formats are only very slightly more  
intelligent in such a place, than addressing everybody as "you" and  
ignoring names.

Package: wu-ftpd
Version: 2.4-23
Package: netstd
Version: 2.06-1

The man pages ftpd(8) and wu-ftpd(8) are both present on my system [Debian 1.1
kernel 2.0.0. #8] and they slightly differ from each other. However, both say,
that for anonymous ftp you need to "have ls(1) in ~ftp/bin with mode 111".
That's not enough. I had to download fileutils source and recompile ls to be
statically linked [using LDFLAGS=-static ./configure]. Without this step the
anon ftp does not return directory listing, neither it reports any error message.
It's a trap for beginners (like me).

Suggested steps:
 1. remove one of the man pages above and make it a link to the other, and
 2. include a note about the neccessity of further investigation regarding ls linking,
or
 2. include the statically linked ls in wu-ftpd package.

Anyway, what's the doubled *ftpd good for? The in.ftpd [or ftpd(8)] seems to
me the same as wu-ftpd(8)..... And the same maintainer...

Guy Maor:
> > Did we reach any conclusion on reorganizing the devel directory?

> No, the suggestions got a bit silly at the end though.

Here's one more suggestion. I think it makes sense to view
Debian users as either end-users or programmers.

End-users need easy access to whatever run-time support various
languages need. They should not have to download all of the
current devel.

Programmers (including people who are just compiling stuff)
can be assumed to download all of devel.

The current devel can therefore be divided into two or three
classes:

	libraries
		run-time libraries (.so, and those for the interpreted
		languages); these may be needed by programs

	interpreters
		also needed by programs; it probably makes sense to
		join this with libraries and call the result run-time

	devel
		needed for compilation or other program development tasks,
		never necessary to run ordinary programs

Here's a quick-n-dirty division of the current devel into the
above classes:

	libraries:
	
		CGI-modules blt id-utils libc4 libelf libg++27 libident
		libobjects libpam libwww-perl tcl74 tcl75 tclX tk40 tk41
	
	interpreters:
	
		expect gcl guile intercal j1 perl perl-suid perl-tk
		postgres95 python python-base python-curses python-dev
		python-doc python-examples python-gdbm python-misc
		python-mpz python-net python-stdwin python-tk gclinfo
		postgres95-docs
	
	devel:
	
		autoconf automake bin86 binutils bison byacc c2man
		cflow dchanges ddd-smotif dejagnu dist dld dlltools
		electric-fence flex ftnchek gcc gdb gettext gmp gnat
		ilu indent libc4-dev libc5-dbg libc5-dev libc5-pic
		libdb1-dev libelf-dev libgdbm1-dev libreadline2-dev
		make ncurses3.0-dev ncurses3.0-pic p2c perl-debug pmake
		ratfor77 slang-devel slang-lib strace tcl74-dev tcl75-dev
		tk40-dev tk41-dev xxgdb glibcdoc cpp m4 cvs rcs
		
Also currently in devel (but misplaced, I think):

	editors:
	
		xwpe
	
	admin(?):
	
		boot-floppies	

I suggest that we break out the run-time support from the current
devel, giving:

	run-time
		programs and files needed to run applications
	devel
		programs and files needed to develop applications

Opinions?

That's a very reasonable suggestion.  It makes a clear division in
devel, and moves about half of the packages out.

I'm sure you know that both of those packages are available in the
unstable tree.  I don't know of a longterm solution short of
duplicating the contrib and non-free trees into stable and unstable
versions.  Our ftp hierarchy is already too complicated.

It seems overloading the gs name is causing problems.  Joost, the
maintainer of both gs's, offered several times to rename them to gnu-gs
and alladin-gs and let them conflict.  Perhaps this needs to be done.
Ian?

An automatic dependency check would be useful.

Except that that's not true. yyyy-mm-dd is the thing that will sort ok.

I suspect that a significant percentage of people who are used to middle  
endian will use it even in the 1996-09-02 version.

As long as none of these is here to get offended, I'll say that this  
proves that the combination of stupid formats with stupid people is  
harmful.

Also, I'll suggest that 01Jan02 *will* be gotten wrong by some people. Use  
4 digit years, Lars.

(Oh, one minor point. 4 digit years actually buy a lot more than 8000  
years iff there are delimiters around the number. Both 123456-12-31 and  
31Dec123456 are perfectly parsable, should you ever need them, and also  
very obvious extensions.)

My mistake.  I misread.  That's what I meant to type.

Very true, and convenient.  I suppose it wouldn't sort properly with
the naive algorithm, but I guess we'll probably have systems that can
handle it by the year 9999 :>

: I don't know of a longterm solution short of

During the time when I was "master of master", I was working on a proposal for
restructuring the hierarchy... and this is the same conclusion that I came
to.  Right now, the contrib and non-free trees are, by definition, "unstable"
since they aren't frozen at release time.  I don't think this is very nice
for folks who are trying to run "latest stable" bits all the time.

As an aside...

Another way of looking at it that I spent some time on one weekend is that 
what you really want on the FTP server is something like a versioned filesystem
effect, where you could have an "object pool" of packages with potentially
multiple revisions per package present.  Each "release", and indeed the
"unstable" tree, would just be symlink trees pointing to the appropriate
revisions in the object pool.  If you picked a reasonably sized amount of disk
for the object pool, you could then treat it sort of like a cache, ensuring
at all times that any object which is the target of a currently-maintained
symlink stays around, and all other versions of objects get tossed out using
an LRU strategy as new objects are uploaded.  It's a very neat idea, and 
solves a handful of problems, but it presents a problem for mirror sites or
users who want to get just the objects associated with a given revision.  It's
not clear to me how you'd train an ftpd to know when it should return a tree
of symlinks, and when it should return a tree populated with the objects that
the tree of symlinks on the server point to.  Oh well, next time I'm resting
I'll think about it some more...

: Our ftp hierarchy is already too complicated.

Flexibility often drags complexity along.  I thought it would be easy to make
'contrib' and 'non-free' be directories at the same level as 'base', 'devel',
and so forth... but met some reluctance about "making it harder" for CD-ROM 
folk to do the right things by having these trees exist inside a release tree.

It'd be nice, in my mind, if they were 'gs-gnu' and 'gs-alladin' so they sort

: An automatic dependency check would be useful.

Yep.  Seems like a report to the owners of packages in question indicating
issues with the dependency tree for files installed in the stable/unstable
hierarchies would be generally useful.  I don't have time right now, or I'd
offer to write it.  A release criteria should certainly be that all of the
dependencies specified by packages in the stable tree can be resolved by
packages in the stable tree.  Our recent discussions about dependencies
crossing the boundaries between normal/contrib/non-free trees indicate that
some checking up on what's really being done is probably a good idea...

Why not just have rex-non-free rex-contrib and rex, etc.

Can we strip shared libraries? I don't know whether that's possible but I
just found out that 'nm /lib/libc.so.5.4.4' (yes, I know this is not the
Debian version) on my system gives:

/lib/libc.so.5.4.4: no symbols

However, almost all other shared libraries come with symbols, some even with
debugging sysmbols (at least strip -g is able to reduce the library size).
If these symbols are not needed I'd like to ask all libraries to be stripped
since it saves an awful lot of disk space. If for some reasons the symbols
are needed could anyone tell me why my libc works?

It's not that difficult. I'll take care of it when I release a new version.

Okay IMO.

'Distribution: experimental' means unstable, doesn't it? Or do you really mean
the experimental subtree under project?

Here's a rundown on my packages. Remember I habe to give away most of it
since I might not have the time for it in my new job.

Here are the one I found new maintainers for. Is there a list where we have
to enter the packages? Also some of these are listed as 'maintainer wants to
give away'. I take it this should be changed.

lshell		- Heiko Schlitterman	<heiko@lotte.sax.de>
joe 		- Dale Scheetz 		<dwarf@polaris.net>
shadow		- Guy Maor		<maor@ece.utexas.edu>
sudo		- Bdale Garbee		<bdale@gag.com>
symlinks	- Bernd Eckenfels	<lists@lina.inka.de>
xcolors		- Syrus Nemat-Nasser	<syrus@ucsd.edu>
xsysinfo	- Syrus Nemat-Nasser	<syrus@ucsd.edu>
mtools		- Mark Eichin		<eichin@cygnus.com>

The packages I still have are:

adjtimex	1.2-4
fdutils		4.3-5
gccbeta		2.7.2.l.3
hkgerman	2-5
html2latex	0.9c-1
lyx		0.10.1
metamail	2.7-8
modules		2.0.0-8
perforate	1.0-3
quota		1.55-3
xautolock	pl10-2
xforms		0.81-1

Anyone's interested?

Michael

This is most certainly a bug!

Try debug a dynamically linked binary using gdb and you will see lots of
messages about loading symbols from the shared libraries ...

I would prefer to keep the symbols in the libraries.

Package: tkps
Version: 1.2-0

The binary is installed into /usr/local/bin. However, no package should do
that. Since tkps doesn't run without X it should be installed into
/usr/X11R6/bin.

Valid point. But then the bug should be filed against mime-support that
contains install-mime, not metamail that only uses it.

VM maintainer,

when fixing this bug, it would also be a good idea to upgrade to
5.96beta.

Kind regards, Emilio.

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.64-1

Remote filesystems are mounted by a command in /etc/init.d/boot.

However, this runs before named is started (/etc/rc?.d/S19bind).
Therefore, if hostnames are used in /etc/fstab, remote mounts fail.
Remote file systems should be mounted after the name server is
started.

netstd_nfs or netstd_misc may be a sensible place to do this.

(It's not clear to me that this is a bug in precisely one package.)

With \LaTeX2e you shouldn't need A4.sty. Just say a4paper in the 
\documentclass
options.

Just a silly question: Which flavour of \TeX is Debian shipping?
How far is it away from e.g. teTeX?

Sidenote: I've packaged some things from teTeX for myself, for example the
rsfs fonts, which are badly needed.
But: Is somebody knowledgeable on the copyright terms on the rsfs's fonts?

I suppose this would be ok, but my own reasonableness trigger would jitter
less if it were something more like

	rex/free
	rex/non-free
	rex/contrib

You end up with fewer symlinks for the 'stable' and 'unstable' pseudo-trees,
too.

Fine with me, and I think that still answers the CD-presser's
concerns.  Are we actually considering this, or is it just an academic
exercise?

Let's please not add unnecessary questions in the postinst.
I think /usr/local should be a symbolic link to /local, but it should
always exist.

Why? It works without a problem. I got this libc by using David's Debian
files with HJ's sources.

As for the static libraries they have to be kept but the for the shared
ones? Also I don't see any reason why debugging symbols are kept. I ran
`strip -g` on my libraries and saved about 500K (sorry don't know the
libraries that had the debugging symbols).

gcc_2.7.2.1-1.deb & g77_0.5.18-2.deb are incompatible.
g77 package puts f771 compiler to the ..../2.7.2 directory instead to
.../2.7.2.1

In texbin_3.1415-5.deb there is a request for manfnt.mf font which is
not there. I linked it to some other file and then dpkg -i works fine.

Hallo Brian!

}When I try to run any of the msql programs, it fails to connect to remote
}databases.  Connecting to these from a 1.0.14 client works fine.
}
}$ relshow -h gate
}Connect: Connection refused

Could you please give me more information? What you gave me, isn't
enough.  I work with the msqld on three machines: Linux 1.2.13
(a.out), Linux 1.3.100 (elf) and SCO ODT 2.3. I can connect to all
three engines from all three machines.  I have installed the Debian
sources on them.

Does your remote engine run on the same port as the local one?
I.e. 4333.  Does the other machine run Debian Linux?

Have a look at the manpage, you can specify a host using '-h
gate:1222' if the other engine runs on port 1222.

Regards,

	Joey

Dear Bruce,

> always exist.

We will not gain anything with this! I am sure if you think about it
you will recognize that this will just shift the problem to a different
location in the file system.

On all my Linux systems /usr/local is a mount point of a READ-ONLY AFS or
NFS volume. And we have our own site-wide /usr/local structure which is
shared by all 12 architectures.  As it stands right now, Debian is not 
well-behaved in a heterogenous environment.

Please take a short time to consider the arguments of others and credit
them with some intelligence and experience.  My proposal resulted from
several years of experience fitting Linux systems into an existing network.

The bottom line is: no package shall ever make any assumption about anything
regarding /usr/local.  If that package needs a COMPILE TIME definition
where local files reside, my proposal is a reasonable way to avoid hacking
the sources.

Dominik

Package: mirror
Version: 2.8-6

If you configure your mirror to be careful with deletes (e.g.
max_delete=20%) you might get the following messages:

NEED TO unlink /pub/buzz-fixes/disks-i386/1996_7_14/kernel-headers-2.0.6-0.all.deb
NEED TO unlink /pub/buzz-fixes/disks-i386/1996_7_14/kernel-image-2.0.6-0.i386.deb
NEED TO rmdir /pub/buzz-fixes/disks-i386/1996_7_14

The original mirror program provides a tool do_unlinks through which
you can pipe such a mail if you wish to remove those files/directories.

The Debian mirror package only provides this script as an example.
I would appreciate movin it into the /usr/lib/mirror direcotory
and linking it to /usr/bin/do_unliks.

Thanks,

	Joey

I'm using Emacs under X and font-lock mode is turned on.  If you write
`cc:' or `Cc:' in the headers it appears in black (or the default
face); however if you write `CC:' then it appears in purple.

However, RFC822 headers are case-independent, so it should be the same
colour independent of letter case.

Hallo Brian!

}Version: 1.0.16-2
}
}After upgrading from v1.0.14...

I have tried this, too, but haven't had any problems.

}The /var/log/msql directory is:
}
}drwxr-x---   2 operator msql         1024 Aug 23 15:11 /var/log/msql/
}
}It should be owned by "root.msql" and have the permissions "775".

It is owned by msql.msql. There might be a problem with your uid/gid
that I don't understand because the postinst is testing and correcting
them. I change it to mode 755.

}The /etc/msql.acl file is:
}
}-rwx------   1 operator msql          300 Aug 23 15:08 /etc/msql.acl*
}
}It should be owned by "msql.msql" and have the permissions "775".

It _is_ owned by msql.msql and should never be a+x. As this file
contains rules for accessing databases that no everyone should know I
don't believe that is should be world-readable.  Especially because of
miserable access rules every user could easily think of spoofing.

}*** The install script removed the existing "msql.acl" file I had made.
}Good thing I make backups!

I'm awfully sorry, this seems to be the case because of msqld replaces
msql-server. This didn't happen here.

}Fixing these and restarting using "/etc/init.d/msqld start" gives
}the following error (repeatedly)...

}>Can't start server : UNIX Bind : Permission denied

Then another msqld is already running, kill it with killall.

}>
}>mSQL Server 1.0.16 starting ...
}
}
}The unix socket is:
}
}srwxrwxrwx   1 root     root            0 Aug 21 15:52 /dev/msql=
}
}This should probably be owned by "root.msql", but shouldn't be the
}cause of this problem.

No, my msql-package doesn't provide a socket in /dev but in
/var/run/msql.  This socket was used by the old msql package.

}Trying to stop these repeated message by doing "/etc/init.d/msqld stop"
}gives the following error:
}
}callandor:/etc# /etc/init.d/msqld stop
}ERROR : Can't connect to local MSQL server
}rm: /var/run/msqld/shutdown: Permission denied
}rm: /var/run/msqld/shutdown: Permission denied

This all seems to be a result of incompatibilities betweeen these two
packages.

}The shutdown file is:
}
}-rw-r-----   1 root     root            5 Aug 23 15:52 /var/run/msqld/shutdown
}
}Since I ran the stop command as root, the only thing I can think of here
}is that something is running as user/group "msql" and could thus not access
}the shutdown file.

Do you still have any problems after rebooting? (this erases every
eventually running old daemon)

Regards,

	Joey

I'm planning to do a new release of g77 which will include the gcc source to try
and solve this problem.  The idea was suggested to me by Joost.  The fundamental
problem is that g77 requires gcc to be g77 aware, and this changes with the versions
of gcc.  At the moment I'm not in the best position for a new release as my own 
machines are net-connected via a 1200 baud modem.  When term recommences I'll
certainly do a new release.  Alternatively I could fix the source (on my SGI box),
if someone else had the time (and disk space!) to do a recompile.

No, because you need to first edit do_deletes locally to adapt the $del_only
variable to your site. Or change your $max_delete_files setting.

I close this bug.

Are we supposed to use dpkg-shlibdeps for all dependecies upon shared libs?
Or is it just for the three (or so) installed in /etc/dpkg/shlibs.default?

So what do I do with xpm for instance?

This was corrected with the latest mfbasfnt (1.0-5).  I would think it to 
be at the mirrors since the upload date was Aug 9th.  It worked for me 
anyway.

There are prominent notices in both the contrib and non-free
directories that software contained there is not an official part of
Debian.  It's therefore not unreasonable to require users to install
packages from unstable to use contrib and non-free packages.

This is just a more general restatement of the problem.  It is more
complex and has advantages which we don't require, among them allowing
other than two versions per package and a small cost for more than two
releases.

And it violates our assertion that they are not official parts of Debian.

That's really what the bug is about.  I intend to close it when
something like this is implemented.

Is this the offical Debian slogan??

OK.  Seeing that GNU libc, aka Linux libc 6.x, does not support the
environment variables, does anyone object to me just removing them
altogether?

Probably you are right, but I don't quite understand what you mean.

At the moment, gcc is g77 aware, but just not aware of the right
g77 version. I think the best solution would, ofcource be to merge
the g77 and gcc maintaining, so that new versions of g77 and gcc
will always be released together. Failing that, probably the
best way is to put a symlink from, say /usr/bin/f771 to /usr/lib/gcc/version/..
and to make the /usr/bin/gcc wrapper in the gcc package
"/usr/bin/f771" aware, and not "/usr/lib/gcc/version/..." aware.

What probably would not be a good solution is to put another
/usr/bin/gcc wrapper in g77. This will then make g77 unable to work
with other gcc versions (same problem as now, but other way around
and therefore much more serious). Also, I don't really see a need
for two /usr/bin/gcc wrappers to be provided by gcc and g77.
If I ever gave the impression I favored this, I didn't get my
opinion accross very well.

So, basically I think this is a gcc problem, that gcc should solve
(with a little assistance from g77, (the symlink) to tell gcc where
to look for f771).

But I don't know how David (gcc maintainer) think s about this,
so I cc'd him on this.

David?

No, `experimental' means the experimental subtree under project.
`unstable' is unstable.

Ouch!

What I object to is another question in the postinst. I installed several
Debian systems last week, and there were too many questions - the effect
was that you could not let the installation run unattended. What's worse,
some maintainers have placed questions in the pre-install script - and
then you get questions all during the installation instead of just at the
end.

So please figure out how to do this with adding a question to every package
that uses files in /usr/local.

	Thanks

Well, all that mt does is call `ioctl (desc, MTIOCTOP, &position)'.

If there is a problem, it is probably with the Linux SCSI tape driver.

I believe so, yes.

>Or is it just for the three (or so) installed in /etc/dpkg/shlibs.default?

Ian will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think (under the New Scheme of
Things) packages which provide shared libraries should have a
debian/shlibs file detailing the appropriate dependency information.

Until all packages which provide shared libraries are converted to
provide this file, we could:

(1) Have all the shlibs information in /etc/dpkg/shlibs.default. (This
happened with the X libraries.)

or (2) Temporarily put the appropriate information in
debian/shlibs.local in the package with the dependency on the shared
library.

IMO neither of these is wonderful; thoughts?

Just a suggestion (and probably not a very good one): where a package needs
to ask a question, perhaps it'd be appropriate to have a script
postinst.questions (or some such) which can be run after all the other
packages have been installed and configured? At least that way, all the
questions would bombard you at once, instead of halting installation
halfway through.

By all means, shoot me down in flames if you want to. :-)

(As an incidental aside, the reason I've got a question in the fsp postinst
is that it didn't make a great deal of sense to split fsp into two packages
- fspclient and fspserver, say - when the server is only about 30kB. If
that is wrong, by all means let me know, and I'll correct it; it would be
one way of getting rid of at least one postinst question :-)

I'm currently trying to clear some of Steve Early's backlog of X
package bugs; this'll be among them (though it may be a while longer
before the packages get converted to the new source format.)

The following problem reports have not yet been marked as `taken up' by a
message to done@bugs.debian.org or or `forwarded' by a
message to forwarded@bugs.debian.org.

The maintainer listed against each package is derived from the Maintainer
field of the package as found in the development tree; there is an override
file that can be amended to get the right results if you have taken over a
package and do not expect to issue a new version soon.

Variant versions of the Maintainer field for the same actual package
maintainer will be listed separately.

Maintainers with few outstanding bugs appear first, to avoid those with few
bugs being lost deep in the message.

boot-floppies is only of use to someone who is building a base system
or a custom boot disk. Custom boot disks will be less necessary in 1.2
because it's _fully_ modular, using "initfs" to load modules before mounting
the root. I think this still belongs in devel, unless we make some
distribution developer's category that contains boot-floppies and dpkg-dev.

Yes. There is a different symbol table for shared objects that you can
print with "nm --dynamic".

Another possibility would be to have a script that runs immediately when
you select the package using "dselect", before the package is unpacked, and
squirrels away your input for later. Of course, we'd have to run it from
"dpkg" if "dselect" was not used.

Discussion, please?

On my system, installing wu-ftpd runs /usr/sbin/addftpuser, which puts the
shared libraries in place and "ls" works.

wu-ftpd has features not present in the normal ftp daemon. Some people like
them, some don't. Most used feature is "get directory-name.tar", which runs
tar on a directory and retrieves the output. It can also gzip that tar before
retrieving it.

Ok, you asked for it...

I'd suggest that often (esp. for site specific things) the best thing
would be for there to be an appropriate, documented configuration
file.  Something like /etc/what-to-do-with-local.

In more complex cases, I think we should have something like an
additional dpkg step, maybe call it "customize".  So there'd be three
installation actions for a package "unpack", "configure", and
"customize".  Normally, dselect and "dpkg --install" wouldn't run the
"customize" step for each package.  You'd have to do that manually.
But dpkg could know which customizations have and haven't been run,
just as it does for configures.

Good, bad?

(Sorry to propose more work for you, Ian.)

Execute these commands on the gzip file attached:
	gzip -cd a.gz
	gunzip a.gz; cat a

The output of the former is clearly incorrect.  Note that
if the output is redirected or piped then the errors
disappear.  This occurs in both xterms and virtual consoles.

I played various games with and without redirection.  I don't see any obvious
differences between the output of 'gzip -cd a.gz' in an xterm using ctrl/s to
stop the flow, and a cat of the previously uncompressed file.

Can you cut&paste the output of the above two command strings to a file and
mail it to me, or something, so I can see what you're seeing?  I'd also 
suggest you verify the md5sum of /bin/gzip:

	a10f552f8e26d5c23e61a6a5415e3427  /bin/gzip

$ md5sum /bin/gzip
a10f552f8e26d5c23e61a6a5415e3427  /bin/gzip

What happens is that the first page is displayed over and over again.
The effect should be obvious if you are able to reproduce it.

Some more info about my system:

kernel: 2.0.13
libc5: 5.2.18-10

I've tried this on a 1.2.8 machine with the same gzip and it doesn't
happen.  Although the problem exists for 2.0.12 on an alpha.  And gzip
on SunOS 5.5 doesn't have this problem.

So which kernel did you use?

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.3.14

When using dpkg-buildpackage with the -r option the command "debian/rules
binary" etc. should be quoted IMO. Otherwise using "su -c" as root command
results in debian/rules being called without an argument.

Once or twice I've said that it is not discriminatory to place
a package in non-free or contrib. The quoted sentence makes me
I think I have been mistaken. Sorry.

It doesn't change my opinion, however, of what goes where in
the distribution. I wouldn't mind having stable versions of
contrib and non-free, but I'll leave the decisions to those
who are willing to do the work.

Sounds better than "put up or shut up", doesn't it? :-)

Fine by me. The categorization I did was not a thorough
investigation.  Package maintainers need to think about it
for themselves.

I'd like some (easy) way of storing answers to questions. The
questions and answers could be shared between packages, when
suitable. One such question would be whether the local admin
wants to allow creation of the empty directories in /usr/local.

If we want to be ambitious, we'll create a fancy language for
defining the user interaction. Something similar to dialog, but
something that is not tied to text terminals, so that it can
later be extended to X as well. It's a big project, of course,
and not something that should be undertaken lightly.

Getting answers to these questions before unpacking anything
would probably be a good idea.

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.2.14elf

When using dselect with access method=floppy and filesystem=msdos, and after 
updating to the latest Packages file (Debian 1.1.8), a number of packages were 
selected as requiring updating/upgrading.  Going on to attempt to Install these 
packages gave the message that all packages were up to date.

If the access method was changed to a mounted filesystem and the Install 
attempted again (and after copying the relevant .deb files to the mounted 
filesystem) then a dpkg command is echoed (something like dpkg -iGROEB) and 
the relevant updated packages are found and updated.

It looks like this "dpkg -iGROEB" is not being issued when dselect is using
access method=floppy and filesystem=msdos?

I know that the Linux kernel has already solved that problem with their 
configuration setup programs -- they have three interfaces (text-based, 
curses based, and Tcl/Tk based) running off the same script, to 
generate the configuraton file.  It also allows you to edit the 
configuration using the same tools, by reading and parsing its own 
output.  It also allows the definition of arbitrary complex things and 
has the ability to handle interactions between items.

Could this be adapted for our needs?  It might not be perfect, but it 
-is- a start.  Some modifications I could see being necessary would be 
to create a way of handling separate config scripts for each package 
that need them, and a few other minor issues.

This is useful for global options (what to do with /usr/local, for instance), but what about package-related options?

Or are we thinking of two separate (but related) problems?

So could we please add this in the guidelines? I didn't check the guidelines
on this but we should also ask the libraries (static and dynamic) to not
contain debugging symbols. If this is already noted should I report it as a
bug if I find some?

Also, if done in a careful manner, this 'answer' database could be
moved to another machine to help automate it's customization.

Just noticed this old bug report. In my opinion it's a bug in the
kpathsea library (which is linked statically in bibtex and is not
included in the kpathsea package, but in the kpathsea package source).

You can verify this behaviour by using kpsewhich (included in package
kpathsea):

  ernie:~$ touch /tmp/foo.bst
  ernie:~$ KPATHSEA_DEBUG=8 TEXMFCNF=. TEXINPUTS=/tmp kpsewhich foo.bst
  kdebug:Search path for .cnf files (from TEXMFCNF environment variable)
  [...]
  kdebug:Search path for .bst files (from compile-time paths.h)
  kdebug:  = .:/bibtex/bst:/usr/lib/texmf/bibtex/bst
  kdebug:  before expansion = .:$texmfloc/bibtex/bst:/usr/lib/texmf/bibtex/bst
  kdebug:  font override var applies = 0
  kdebug:  application config file path = (none)
  kdebug:  texmf.cnf path = (none)
  kdebug:  compile-time path = .:$texmfloc/bibtex/bst:/usr/lib/texmf/bibtex/bst
  kdebug:  suffix = .bst
  kdebug:  search only with suffix = 0
  kdebug:  runtime generation program = (none)
  kdebug:  extra program args = (none)

BSTINPUTS gets used correctly:

  ernie:~$ KPATHSEA_DEBUG=8 TEXMFCNF=. BSTINPUTS=/tmp kpsewhich foo.bst
  kdebug:Search path for .cnf files (from TEXMFCNF environment variable)
  [...]
  kdebug:Search path for .bst files (from BSTINPUTS environment variable)
  kdebug:  = /tmp
  kdebug:  before expansion = /tmp
  kdebug:  font override var applies = 0
  kdebug:  application config file path = (none)
  kdebug:  texmf.cnf path = (none)
  kdebug:  compile-time path = .:$texmfloc/bibtex/bst:/usr/lib/texmf/bibtex/bst
  kdebug:  suffix = .bst
  kdebug:  search only with suffix = 0
  kdebug:  runtime generation program = (none)
  kdebug:  extra program args = (none)

The -ggdb flag is supposed to give extra debugging info to gdb.  I've
used it on Solaris, and under RedHat Linux.  When I try to use it on
my Debian box, however, I get:

~/test/c> gcc -ggdb hello.c
ld: cannot open -lg: No such file or directory

Using locate, I can't find a "libg.a".  On a RedHat install, this
library is found in "/usr/lib/libg.a".  Thanks for any info on this
problem.

one of amstex's file seems to conflict with amsfonts, and it can't
seem to find a tfm file it needs.  This is the same error that was
triggering massive multi-megabyte log files before, and I am thinking
that error might related to xypic overwriting mflib's
install-fmt-base, because at least with mflib's it does not go into an
endless loop.

I think dpkg may be broken -- when installing dvipsk it seems to
either ignore or eat some files in the deb file.  I manually unpacked
the dvipsk.deb file with dpkg-deb --extract, and the config.ps file
was there.  Yet when I install it with dpkg -i, it either isn't
unextracted or it gets removed.  The dvipsk postinst just calls
install-info.

Provides: kpathsea

Whenever I run dvips or xdvi I get a long list of "Errors" which show
MakeTeXPK trying to create fonts that already exist.  I'm really not
sure if this is kpathsea's fault, but it is the one running MakeTeXPK.
I guess it has some way of looking to see if the fonts exist or not,
and this is not being done?

Kernel is 2.0.6, libc5 is 5.2.18-9.

It's OK with me if the guidelines specify that shared libraries be

Ok. I will try to get it to run with 16bpp. Everybody seemed just to run
8bpp. Perhaps I am not current.

The pcmcia-modules stuff complains on startup that the modules to be

My preference is to find someone (other than me) to maintain both gcc
and g77 and let him/her decide how to handle it.

That is the best idea so far.

Back when the perl/sh postinst script discussion started i tried to add a
TCL/TK interpreter to the dialog core to provide a common script language
coupled with fancy interfaces both for character and graphics based usage.

This could as well be the foundation for complete system administration
tool like SMIT or SAM - no not ADMINTOOL :) ...

But that is really a hard job: Getting the first code together and add some
simple dialog widgets was easy but then the problems started... Unfortunately
i ran out of free time to further pursue this project and killed it (literally,
no code left - that's the only way to stop me from wasting time with it)

> Its not compiled for 16bpp.

Could such programs then have a note telling us about that in the
description?  It looks bad when one downloads software and gets a core
dump trying to run it.  I think many people are running 16bpp, and
many more will be running it as 2meg become the default -- is this a
major problem with most fancy X programs (games and stuff)?  Do they
need to be compiled for different depths?

After getting pgp up and running, I only had to try dpkg-buildpackage
about 4 times before I got it right. (That's actually very easy) At each
step of the way the errors were informative enough to get me down the
road. 
I got several errors about the failure of getpwd to return a path.
Diff -u appears to choke on files that do not end in proper newlines. For
the changelog this required the addition of a "bare" newline at the end of
the file.
I also had to move my pgp keys into /root/.pgp so I could sign the proper
files. I think, from what I have seen in the documentation that I could
have built this as dwarf (rather than root) but the setup for "getting
root privilage" wasn't clear, so copying the keys was the "quick fix".

So far, I really like the new source format. Thank you Ian for all the
fine work and documentation effort! I really like the way that
dpkg-buildpackage (or more likely dpkg-source) packs up the original tree
in a tar.gz file and then gets rid of the tree. Nice space saving,
specialy since it uses the tar.gz file whenever it needs to reference
anything in the original source.
I am still a little foggy about how pre-depends are handled (or if they
are even necessary any longer) and the issues of depends in general, but I
have more complex packages that will surely teach me these points ;-)

As soon as master gets back within my reach, I will upload the new ae
package to incoming. Although there is some discussion about announcing
new Debian packages, it isn't clear if our announcement policy has changed
in general. Do I need to announce the upload to master anywhere besides
here? Do I even need to do that here? It might me nicer if the
announcements were generated when the package was moved from Incoming to
it's host tree. That way they would be less pre-mature.

Thanks,

Dwarf

Package: mh
Version: 6.8.4-2

rcvtty looks for utmp in /etc/utmp, rather than /var/run utmp, which
causes it to fail.  This can be worked around by making a symbolic
link, but that's an incorrect solution.  It should be checking
/var/run/utmp for a utmp entry.

Also, after fixing that problem, it will not work without the "-biff"
option.  I suspect that this indecates a mismatch between the
permission bit(s) it checks, and the permission bit(s) that mesg sets,
since it never attempts to notify the tty.

Setting up fsp (2.71-3) ...

If you want, I can configure FSP so that the daemon runs on UDP port
21, as user "ftp", providing access to the files stored in /home/ftp.
Some manual configuration of the daemon, and customization of the FTP
directory, may be required for the daemon to function as desired.

Note that setting up fspd is _not_ required to access FSP archives.
You only need to do this if you want to set up your own FSP archive.
If in doubt, say "no" for now, and read the documentation.

I know one can have a big file containing customization for all the X apps,
but I'd like to be able to modify the app-defaults/xxx file for the xxx
app. without having it being overwritten when a new release of xxx is
available? Is this a bad idea?

YA.

Package: abuse
Version: 1.10-4

Great game, but I am having quite a few problems with its configuration.
(1) X-Version
    Runs ok without options. Instructions suggest to use 
    -grap_pointer -2 -size 640 400
    The program hates this, and says something like
    "grabbing pointer... pausing for -2 seconds" and then
    hangs up.
(2) X-Version
    Cannot save the game. Falls over with an error message
    about writing gamma.lsp. Tries setting the umask. I don't
    know where it is trying to write to, but my guess must be a
    permissions problem
(3) Console Version
    abuse should have a dependency on aout-svgalib, as this is needed to
    get it to execute from the console. Maybe to seperate .deb files would
    be better, one for X and the other for console execution? That way the
    dependencies could be kept relatively clean.
(4) Console Version. 
    Has anyone ever got this version to run? It dies on me complaining
    about the mouse. It asks me to set MOUSE_TYPE is I have no MS compatible
    mouse, so;
      (i) If I use a MS mouse and set the conf file in etc/vga correctly
          it says that it could not find the mouse driver.
      (ii)If I set MOUSE_TYPE then it either says that the mouse type
          is unrecognised (I tries a MouseSystems), or that it is recognised
          but that the mouse driver is not present.
    What is wrong here is anyones guess...

I am using the standard buzz-fixed distribution.
Thanks
  Gordon

PS Great game!
   (I can still play it under X if I have a small screen and don't save, but
    it is hard!)

Package: aout-svgalib
Version: 1.28-6

This package installs its libraries in
  /usr/i486-linuxaout/lib
But all the other aout libraries seem to be in
  /usr/lib/i486-linuxaout/lib

Unfortunately /usr/i486-linuxaout/lib is not present by default
in /etc/ld.so.conf, and so the libraries cannot been found. As a fix I
added it to ld.so.conf and reran "ldconfig -v".

I am using the standard buzz-fixed distribution.

Thanks
  Gordon

Package: boot1440-1
Version: buzz-fixed

I need to use the custom boot disks (custom no 1) to start my installation
process. However, the modules.tgz file is broken (unexpected EOF during the
detar process). I looked at the other boot disks, but all the modules.tgz files
seem to be in the same position. What it means is that you do not get any
of the ethernet modules with the installation process.

The fix for me was complicated; I obtained an image*.deb file, used pkzip
on another machine to split it up so that I could get it onto floppies, ran
win95 and used pkunzip on the destination machine to extract the .deb file,
switched to debian, and used dpkg to extract the modules.tgz file. Then
I could get my ethernet card running and continue the installation by ftp.

This was using the buzz-fixed installation disks, and as I said custom
boot no 1.

Thanks
  Gordon

Package: kernel-image
Version: 2.0.5-1

The post-install seems to look for /vmlinuz, and since I don't have one of
those it dies off rather quickly! All my kernels are in the /boot directory,
as this is a partition on my IDE drive, and / is on a SCSI drive (which 
would be difficult to boot from). Surely this is not an unusual setup? This
used to be the standard method a few years ago (I have been using linux for
many years, and debian for a year or so).

As a fix, why not first look in /, and then in /boot?
I am using the buzz-fixed distribution.

1. Does anyone want to take over the job of maintaining these
packages?

2. How badly do we need an aout-svgalib package?  Are linuxsdoom &c

Package: cflow
Version: 2.0-1

 PACKAGE: cflow
 DESCRIPTION: cflow - print a function call hierarchy
  The cflow command reads the given program source and attempts to print a
  graph of the program's function call hierarchy to the standard output.
 ARCHITECTURE: i386
 MAINTAINER: Dominik Kubla <Dominik.Kubla@Uni-Mainz.DE>
 PRE-DEPENDS: libc5 (>=5.2.18-1), gcc (>=2.7.2-1)
 ^^^^^^^^^^^
 PRIORITY: standard
 SECTION: devel
 VERSION: 2.0-1

1. cflow should not use Pre-Depends at all.
2. The situation
     A =Pre-Depends=> B =ordinary-Depends=> C
   as in
     cflow =Pre-Depends=> gcc =Depends=> binutils
   causes dselect to break.  I may be able to do something about this,
   but not soon, and I don't want to do it in the forked stable
   version of dpkg.

This has broken dselect-based installation from `stable', and should
be fixed forthwith.  I suggest that the cflow package in stable be
removed pending the fix.

Ian.

Bibtex has nothing to do with TEXINPUTS. As you can see here from the file
/usr/lib/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, bibtex is supposed to listen to its own
variables:

	% BibTeX bibliographies and style files.
	BIBINPUTS = .:$texmfloc/bibtex/bib//:$TEXMF/bibtex/bib
	BSTINPUTS = .:$texmfloc/bibtex/bst//:$TEXMF/bibtex/bst

By root? Pwd works ok. I'll keep an eye out. Next time I see these errors,
I'll capture a log and investigate it more closely.

Then the kpathsea doku is wrong and the bug should be reassigned to
kpathsea (I think it should be reassigned to kpathsea anyhow). From
/usr/info/kpathsea.info.gz:

    TeX environment variables
    =========================

      Kpathsea defines a sequence of environment variables to search for
    each file type it supports.  This makes it easy for different programs
    to check the same environment variables, in the same order.

      The following table lists the environment variables searched for each
    file type in the order they are searched (and a brief description of the
    file type).  That is, only if the first variable is unset is the second
    variable checked, and so on.  If none are set, various other things are
    checked; *note Path sources::..

I have just checked out the bugs web site, and notice that I have quite
a few outstanding reports on setserial. I will try and update it, but
a lot of changes seem to have been made to the administration of the
packages. Is there a new guide to the format of the .deb files and their
submission?

Thanks,
 Gordon

Ian Jackson and I have had several exchanges by private email 
having to do with the dependencies in dpkg, following my bug reports:
#4262 (dpkg-source requires cpio) and #4263 (dpkg-source requires patch).

We have now come to an impasse.  Ian suggested if I were to bring this
to debian-devel "perhaps someone there will set you straight."

Here are the arguments:

I> cpio is only required by dpkg-source, and not to install packages.

I> I've added it to Suggests and mentioned it in the Description.  This
I> will be in 1.3.10.

   (ditto for patch.)

S> Now I'm confused.  I would have thought that since a command within the
S> dpkg package requires cpio in order to operate, that the whole dpkg package
S> would be said to "Depend" on cpio.  

I> No.

S> This is not my reading of the programmer's manual, which says:
S> "Suggests:
S> This is used to declare that one package may be more useful with one
S> or more others.  Using this field tells the packaging system and the
S> user that the listed packages are be [sic] related to this one and can
S> perhaps enhance its usefulness, but that installing this one without
S> them is perfectly reasonable."

I> The manual is correct.  I believe dpkg is in accordance with it now.

S> It is unreasonable to install software (dpkg-source) which won't 
S> function at all without additional files.  

I> So are you suggesting that I should split dpkg up into half a dozen
I> packages ?  Since debian-changelog-mode.el won't work without Emacs I
I> have to make dpkg depend on Emacs ?  Since you can't use
I> dpkg --print-architecture to determine the build architecture unless
I> you have GCC and libc installed I should make dpkg depend on those ?
I> Since dpkg's NFS installation method won't work without NFS loaded
I> into the kernel I should refuse to allow dpkg to install properly if
I> you don't have that configured in ?

S> Yes.

S> In any case, what is the mechanism to warn the user that only 1 
S> (or perhaps 0, 2, or some other number) of components of a package 
S> he's got installed ought to be expected to work?

I> Suggests, plus the Description, and the manuals for the package
I> components if this is thought necessary.

S> I find this logic absurd.  If it is "reasonable" to install software that
S> won't work, then what is the reason?  Just to remind oneself of its
S> existence?  

S> Debian users should be told during the initial installation they will
S> have 2 choices:
S> -- realize that some, most, or perhaps all of the software they just 
S>    thought they installed won't work at all, and that they'll need to read 
S>    every doc and every man page and every info page associated with the 
S>    package in order to identify the components that won't work, or 
S> -- follow religiously every suggestion made by every package.

S> I doubt this is the common understanding of the word "suggests", except
S> perhaps in the world of organized crime.

OK, will someone please "set me staight"?

I think it's a bad idea, and it is also contrary to the current Debian
policy (look in /usr/doc/X11/debian.README).

Not that policy can't change, but I think this one should stay as it
is, unless someone's going to come up with some magic way for
maintainers of X-based packages to generate "intelligent patches" for
the app-defaults files.  Otherwise there is no way for maintainers to
be assured that existing app defaults files contain all the necessary
items without writing tedious, demonstrably unnecessary shell scripts.

I have read your bug report regarding setserial... are you
still having problems? As far as I know, no other person
is having similar problems setserial...

If you are still having problems, could you get back to
me within the next few days, otherwise I will consider the
bug report closed.

Thanks in advance,
  Gordon

Thanks.  One suggestion: this particular bug is a quite serious
one (uid 0 exploit for FreeBSD has been posted to bugtraq; it
probably wouldn't be too hard for someone to adapt it for Linux).
So I think the fix should go in the "stable" tree as well, before
converting to the new format...

LPRng has a limited emulation for lp-style commands, though it uses
lpd style configuration and such.  It doesn't sound like that's what
you're looking for, though.

I use the word dependency in the general sense - to refer to Depends,
Recommends, Suggests, and Pre-Depends.

The crux of your disagreement is how you define dependencies between
packages.

Susan argues that a package is composed of individual files.  A
package's dependency is the least restrictive dependency which fulfills
all the files' dependencies.

Ian argues that a package is composed of files of varying degrees of
importance.  A package's dependency is the dependency which fulfills
the more important files' dependencies.  The secondary files'
dependencies may be mentioned as Suggestions or Recommendations based
on their relative importance.

The more important files are those which provide the package's
functionality to a majority of users.  Unfortunately this distinction
is somewhat arbitrary.

I agree with Ian's definition.  The alternative is unpleasant - a
multitude of tiny packages.  Perhaps a paragraph explaining the
relationship between file dependencies and package dependencies could
be added to the Programmer's Documentation.

So? Dpkg-source is a program that will not function without the proper
version of cpio, or patch, or diff. This program, by your own definition
depends on these other programs/packages. Since it is a delivered
functionality of dpkg, it seems only logical that the package should
reflect this dependance.

Well, maybe not a half dozen ;-) However, dpkg and dpkg-dev sounds like a
good start. Put all the installation programs, dpkg, dselect, etc, into
dpkg and all the development tools like dpkg-source into dpkg-dev. This
should make it clearer to you that dpkg-dev does, in fact, depend on the
packages in question. WRT the emacs piece, this is not a program, but a
thing (script?) that emacs can run to look at dpkg files and as such
represents "enhanced" functionality, so at the most, it might need to
appear in the suggests list. On the other hand, if one of the programs
providing functionality in the package actually needs this file to
operate, then yes, emacs should be in the dependancy list.

Luck,

Dwarf

Try just -2 -size 640 400

I'll take a look at this.

It depends on either X11R6 or aout-svgalib - if any wants me to set it for
both, I'll consider it. I don't think separate .deb's are a good idea.

I'll try to get a fixed abuse out with a week or two (hopefully I can fix

Hmm ... I installed this, wrote the classic hello world program and:

$ i386-unknown-cygwin32-gcc -o hello.exe hello.c
$ file hello.exe
hello.exe: MS-DOS executable (EXE), OS/2 or Windows

May I suggest you use the i386-unknown-cygwin32-gcc front-end.

BTW, I have no way to test this hello.exe as I don't have access to
any proprietary OSs right now :)

The package /does/ have a serious bug however:  no extended
description which could, perhaps, indicate how to use it!

Package: cern-httpd
Version: 3.0-6

My hostname is 'ilm' and my FQDN is 'ilm.mech.unsw.edu.au'.

'hostname' on my machine works as described in the man page as
shown in the following interactive bash transcript:

# hostname -s
ilm
# hostname -f
ilm.mech.unsw.edu.au
# hostname ilm
ilm
# hostname
ilm
# hostname ilm.mech.unsw.edu.au
ilm.mech.unsw.edu.au
# hostname
ilm.mech.unsw.edu.au

When 'cern-httpd' starts it executes 'hostname' to find the FQDN
instead of 'hostname -f'. 

My debian configuration had 'hostname' set to return 'ilm' when
'/etc/init.d/cern-httpd' was executed at boot time to start
'cern-httpd'. 'cern-httpd' then thought that my FQDN was 'ilm'.

When http clients requested a directory listing, the html 'cern-httpd'
sent to the clients had icon URLs with 'ilm' as my FQDN. The clients
received no icons. Some clients complained and substituted a default
icon, e.g. X Mosaic 2.7b5, but others, e.g. Netscape, failed to list the
directory completely.

As a temporary fix I replaced '/etc/init.d/cern-httpd' with:

#!/bin/sh
# start or stop the http daemon
test -f /usr/sbin/cern-httpd || exit 0
case "$1" in
start)	
  # Save old hostname and set 'hostname' to give FQDN for cern-httpd. 
  oldhostname=`hostname`;
  hostname `hostname -f`;
  start-stop-daemon --start --verbose --exec /usr/sbin/cern-httpd;
  # Reset hostname to give $oldhostname. 
  hostname $oldhostname;;
stop)	start-stop-daemon --stop  --verbose --exec /usr/sbin/cern-httpd ;;
*)	echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/cern-httpd start|stop"; exit 1 ;
esac
exit 0

If 'hostname -f' reliably gives the FQDN under debian then the
'cern-httpd' source should be patched to use it.    

My debian version is 1.1.7, kernel version 2.0.7 and libc 5.2.18.

Hello,

When I build libpaper trying to follow the new guidelines and packaging
stuff, I have:

        dpkg-shlibdeps src/paperconf
	dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unable to find dependency information for shared library libpaper (soname 1, path /usr/lib/libpaper.so.1.0.2, dependency field Depends)

but I don't know why there is a warning here. In addition, I'd like to
know if I have to copy a shlibs file like this:

	libpaper 1	libpaper (>= 1.0.2-1)

in debian/tmp/DEBIAN before building the binary package?

Yves.

P.S.: BTW, the help message should say "Use C-c C-e" not "Use ^c^e", which
is not Emacs usage.

nevertheless dpkg should be divided into two binary packages:
dpkg (which is the most esential base package of all :-), and
dpkg-source, which only the developers will want to have.

this way the dependencies (while different) could eventually 
become simpler?

This works, but does not grab the pointer...

Running the program as root solves this problem. On
inspection, the abuse.x version is SGID root, which
should instead probably be SUID root. This seems to solve
my problems. Too bad the games and gamma.lsp files are not saved
to the user's home directory instead, but then I don't expect you
have the source code to make this possible ;-).

The problem I had was I had not installed aout-sgvalib, and on running sabuse
ldd complained about svgalib being the wrong exec format (it picked up the
elf version instead). It took me a while to figure out what was wrong.
Perhaps even pointing this out in /usr/doc/abuse would be a
distinct improvement.

Package: netstd
Version: 2.07-1

rwho doesn't limit the tty name field ``out_line'' to 8 characters. This
leads to strange output lines if the line field in the utmp entry of any
host uses 8 or more characters, as it's often if xdm creates an utmp
entry.

e.g.:

	gfullner batian:ibm16.lpgfullner02batian Sep  6 14:24
			<-o.k.-><---- overflow ---->
	                12345678

In this example, ``ibm16.lp'' are the first 8 characters of the full
hostname of an X terminal which was served by batian's xdm. This example
is extremely bad as the user name has 8 characters too, so not only
out_name gets printed after out_line, but out_time and some more data
following it in memory. From /usr/include/protocols/rwhod.h:

	/*
	 * rwho protocol packet format.
	 */
	struct	outmp {
		char	out_line[8];		/* tty name */
		char	out_name[8];		/* user id */
		long	out_time;		/* time on */
	};
	[...]

Its easy to limit the tty name as it is done already for the user id.
The patch for rwho.c follows.

This error occurs on all UNIX variants we have in our network (SunOS
4.1.3, AIX 3.2.5, Digital Unix 3.2, MIPS RISC/os 4.52b) and can be found
in OpenBSD sources too, so Debian is not alone :-)

Regards
	Herbert.

The problem with packages is that they can be used for so many
things.  Other packages should be depended on only if it's needed for
the package to serve it's basic, most mainstream functions.

Secondary activities might not work if you have a minimal
configuration.  Then again, if you have a minimal configuration you
might not care much about secondary activities.

Finally, if the person is using dselect (which should be presumed, if
the person isn't reasonably expert at unix command line stuff), then
a suggested package will present itself for installation when the
package which suggests it is selected.

Package dependencies are a rather crude mechanism, only useful for
preventing the most blatant configuration mistakes.

There is a version of xfishtank in sunsite.unc.edu that was patched to
work in "truecolor" mode. I include bellow the README.TrueColor
file from the file xfishtank2.0-truecolor.tar.gz.

Hope this helps, Emilio.


======================================================================
    When I switched to TrueColor on my Linux box, I found that
    xfishtank just crash with a segmentation fault, how
    frustrating. Digging into the code, I found that it only support
    depths 1-8. Thanks to John Cwikla's article:
    
        The X Color Context: Color Management For (Almost) Any Occasion
         in The X Advisor: June 1995 - Vol 1 No 1. http://www.unx.com/DD/advisor
    
    I got xfishtank to support TrueColor. I've only tested it on Linux
    running XFree86-3.1.2 in 16 and 24 bpp. If anybody can get it to
    work on other platform or other video modes, please drop me a
    line.
    
    I have no idea what this version will do in DirectColor modes
    because I have no way of testing. This version ignores the -C
    (color limit) flag when running in > 8 bpp modes. There's no need
    for limitting the number of color in TrueColor modes right?
    
    You may use, redistribute this version as long as you keep all the
    READMEs and copyright stuff with the code. This is to ensure
    credit goes to those deserve.  After all, I did not write this
    code. I only add TrueColor support.
    
    There no warranty of any kind. Use this code at your own
    risk. Don't blame me for any damage it may cause. Bugfixes and
    comments are welcome.

There ios a new release on debian.org of xfishtank that hopefully
addressed the problem.

Eeech, what a messy kludge you're suggesting.  This isn't like you,
Raul ...

Do you think the bug system deliberately sits on messages for ages
before processing them ?  I don't see any point in this.  The bug
would still go out onto debian-devel, &c.

The turnaround now is between 5 and 20 minutes, plus the time taken
for master's qmail to deliver the mail (which can be as long as half
an hour under bad conditions).

I'm afraid you'll just have to wait for the ack to come back.

Ian.

Package: gcc
Version: 2.7.2-8

since i didn't find debian netperf package, i decided to compile netperf
myself.
however, when compiling the first file, i got

lohi:/usr/src/netperf-2.1pl1# make
cc -O -Ae -DDEBUG_LOG_FILE="\"/tmp/netperf.debug\"" -DUSE_LOOPER    -c
netperf.c -o netperf.o
*Initialization*:1: missing token-sequence in `#assert'
make: *** [netperf.o] Error 1

this looks like an error in the gcc system itself, since it didn't give
any
error message related to the file being compiled.

my environment should otherwise be ok, since, for example, the kernel
compiles without problems.

i'm using debian 1.1-fixed, kernel version 2.0.18.

That's a violation of Debian policy.  If abuse needs to write to the
gamma file, you should make the files writable by group 'games' and
make abuse.x sgid games.

Will you please reduce the problem down to a small, reproducable test
case.  There's not much I can do with this little information.

   case.  There's not much I can do with this little information.

i don't know how to reproduce this error, except by downloading

ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/benchmarks/netperf/netperf-2.1pl1.tar.gz

unpacking the tar archive and typing 'make'.

Actually, it shouldn't use either -- it should use the magic
substitution strings, which would cause the message to be displayed
not only in the correct format, but to have the correct content even
if the user had rebound the keys.  *Note (elisp)Keys in
Documentation::.  Isn't Emacs neat?

I found the problem. Remove The "-Ae" flag from the Makefile. It's for
another compiler than GCC. "cc -Ae" any .c file will report the same
problem.

Please kill this bug, David.

Package: gcc
Maintainer: David Engel <david@ods.com>
Version: 2.7.2.1-1

I don't know whether or not this is a gcc bug, but after I installed
the latest rex stuff, gcc stopped being able to find cc1.  After I
added /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.1/ to my path it worked, but I
never needed to do that before (and gcc should know the path,
shouldn't it?)...

Sorry about the lack of information, but I posted a question to
debian-devel and never got a response (too much traffic I guess...).

Package: cpio
Version: 2.4.2-7

Bug report, and a patch to fix it.

mt tell does not work on my HP DAT drive.  After investigation, it
turns out that it's because GNU mt.c uses wrong syscall.

  if (rmtioctl (desc, MTIOCTOP, &position) == -1)
    error (2, errno, "%s", dev);
  printf("At block %d.\n", position.mt_blkno);

This will not get the position.  According to "man st" this should be:

  if (rmtioctl (desc, MTIOCPOS, &position) == -1)
    error (2, errno, "%s", dev);
  printf("At block %d.\n", position.mt_blkno);

which appears to work fine.

I guess this is worth forwarding to the upstream maintainer.

GCC could validate the format of the -A flag better. The message
currently generated by a badly-formatted argument is less than
informative.

Package: cpio
Version: 2.4.2-7

Assuming that with the new packaging standard, you're supposed to
build the package with ./debian/rules binary, cpio's build dies
because the permissions on some of the debian scripts are too
restrictive.

  ./debian/rules binary
  [...]
  dpkg-deb: maintainer script `postinst' has bad permissions 751 (must be >=0555 and <=0775)
  make: *** [binary-arch] Error 2

This can be fixed with:

  chmod o+r debian/postinst debian/prerm

Thanks

Package: cern-httpd
Version: 3.0-7

/etc/cron.weekly/cern-httpd contains:
 grep -Eqi '^\W*port\W+[[:digit:]]+' /etc/cern-httpd.conf \
    || grep -Eqi '^\W*servertype\W+standalone+' /etc/cern-httpd.conf \
    && /usr/sbin/cern-httpd -restart 2> /dev/null

This is obviously done to try to spot inetd-run servers, but the
regexps match even if there are lines like
 # Port	80
in /etc/cern-httpd.conf.

And did it some harm?  The kernel headers below /usr/include 
are (should be) the headers most close to libc.  The headers below
/usr/src/linux are really kernel related and should be used for
compilation of KERNEL parts (as driver modules and so on) while the
other (libc related) under /usr/include should be used only for 
constants and #defines.  As far as I got told when I had a similar
question.  And now I think, it's quite acceptable.

I would (naively?) think that pre-depends must be used if (and only if)  
the installation of the package, without having first completed  
installation of the dependency, would break the installation process.

That is, it should be used iff a simple depends won't do the right thing.

The difference in functionality between depends and pre-depends, as I  
understand it, are that a pre-depends guarantees that your package won't  
even be *unpacked* unless the pre-depends is already completely installed.  
On the other hand, a depends only guarantees that the other package will  
be completely installed before *configuration* of your package starts.

So - if unpacking your package before completely installing the dependency  
will break, then you obviously need pre-depends.

For example, IIRC, an elf dpkg needs a pre-dependency on libc5 for that  
reason - unpacking a new elf dpkg over an a.out dpkg without having a  
functioning libc5 means a completely broken dpkg - desaster!

On the other hand, unpacking an elf editor in the same situation means  
that while your editor is now broken, you can still use dpkg to install  
the library. A simple depends will obviously DTRT here.

Now, Ian, how badly did I miss the point?

Package: lynx
Version: 2.4-FM-960316-1

Lynx 2.6 is out, and version 2.5 has been available for quite some
time now - but we still have the outdated, pre-release version.
One user here needed a newer version (improved ISO-8859-2 support
etc.), so I packaged it myself, fixing two of the numerous package
bugs in the process (3105 and 3606 - they seemed easy to fix).

Note that I am not the official maintainer of this package (so I'm
not closing bug reports), but until the "real" release is there,
lynx-2.6 packaged by me is temporarily available from
ftp://ftp.ists.pwr.wroc.pl/pub/linux/debian-local/lynx-2.6-1.deb

Source and diff are available here as well, of course.

Are you sure you don't have another gcc or cc1 in your path?  The gcc
provided in the gcc package knows its own path.

Some of us aren't on the debian-devel list and it's not by choice. :-(

The /etc/X11/window-managers file constructed by xbase.postinst
contains fvwm but omits fvwm2.  This is somewhat disconcerting if the
fvwm2 package is installed, but not the fvwm package.

Another option would be for the fvwm2 package's installation scripts
to add an appropriate entry to /etc/X11/window-managers

The program /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config contains a typo.  When it asks
about the mouse device, it suggests as a possibility the nonexistent
/dev/tty00.  The proper suggestion would be /dev/ttyS0.

Package: taper
Version: 6.2-1

The taper package recommends the ftape package, which is not available
(at least on the cdrom distribution I have, or on the debian archives
I searched.)

Since ftape is covered by the GPL, if it is recommended then it should
be provided.  Unless it is bug ridden --- in which case naive users
should not be recommended to seek it out, and instead an explanatory
warning should be given.  Or if it integrated into Linux 2.x kernels,
then perhaps the recommendation should be deleted, or perhaps the
kernel package should provide ftape.

Package: kernel-source-2.0.6
Version: 2.0.6-0

The package currently

 Depends: binutils | gas

but actually gas isn't enough: as86 is needed to compile the kernel,
and that program is in the bin86 package.  Which should at least be
recommended.

Similarly recommending the gcc package might not be a bad idea.

Package: kernel-source-2.0.6
Version: 2.0.6-0

I am an experienced linux person.  Even have a little code in the
kernel.  Decided to give debian a shot.  But I'd like to avoid
learning about debian internals, to the extent possible.  On the other
hand, sometimes it is necessary to install the absolute latest kernel
on my system.

There should be a SHORT and SUCCINCT explanation of how to do that,
that starts with "cd to /usr/src, rm linux, untar
linux-2.0.xxxx.tar.gz, rename linux to blah" and ends with "reboot
into the new kernel."  It could assume familiarity with linux in
general and how to compile a kernel in particular, because its job is
to explain what is special about a debian system in this regard.

(Because the documentation in the debian kernel sources package
concerning how to debianize a kernel was so long and complicated and
full of jargon specific to debian package maintenance, I was unable to
follow it.  I tried just compiling and installing the kernel and its
modules as usual, and putting putting the kernel image and System.map
in locations parallel to the ones that were already there, and it all
seemed to work out okay, except for having to munge around with some
module autoloading stuff to get the network rolling.  But guessing
should not be necessary here.  And of course, I am not sure if I did
things the right way, and updated all the right files.  Maybe there's
some script I should have invoked, which would have done the work
automatically?  Please, do tell!)

Ah hah! gnats or dpkg seem to be the culprite:

[lestat:~/.www/unabomber/unabomber_writings]$ locate gcc|grep "gcc$"|xargs file|grep -i exec
/usr/bin/gcc: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1
/usr/bin/gcc.orig-gcc: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, stripped

dpkg --search gcc.orig-gcc
diversion by gnat from: /usr/bin/gcc
diversion by gnat to: /usr/bin/gcc.orig-gcc

[lestat:/home/jimr]# vi hello.c
[lestat:/home/jimr]# gcc hello.c
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1': No such file or
directory
[lestat:/home/jimr]# gcc.orig-gcc hello.c
[lestat:/home/jimr]# 

So is gnats is scr?wing over gcc?

I think newsgroups are the way to go... :)

Package: mfbasfnt
Version: 1.0-5     

Building a tex.fmt fails, as a new debian user here just experienced, because
the file "manfnt.mf" is in the "buzz" release 1.0-3 of mfbasfnt, but not in
the "rex" release 1.0-5.

I remember that this was reported some days ago, sorry if I duplicate it, but
it doesn't seem to have been resolved.

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.2.14elf

When one fires up dselect, puts all packages on hold, chooses one tiny
little package to install --- say, jgraph --- then hits the big
install button ... it takes FOREVER as a long long list of "skipping
deselected package mumble ..."'s scrolls by at an agonizingly slow
pace.  This should not take so long.  And also (unless some internal
dselect extra verbosity switch is enabled) it's pretty useless
verbiage.

It seems to me that installing one package using dselect should be
about as pleasant and fast as installing it directly using dpkg (which
I am making a point of not learning, to preserve my purity as naive
debian critic).

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.2.14elf

When you go through lots of dselect work editing the package selection
menu, then you're done (whew!) and you hit the big INSTALL button ...

before dselect goes ahead and installs stuff, it should give you a
very short description of what it's about to do, and give you a chance
to back out if you want.  Eg:

    The following will be installed:
     foo-1.1-1a, bar-2.2-2b, taper-6.2-1
    and the following will be upgraded to new versions:
     lyx-0.9.23-1

    lyx-0.9.23-1 recommends dvips, which is not installed, but is available.
    taper-6.2-1 recommends ftape, which is not available.

    Proceed?

This is particularly important because the whole selection process is
succeptable to error, given the wealth of packages, one-keystroke
commands, modes, conflict resolutions, automatic posting of install
requests due to dependencies and recommendations, etc.

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.2.14elf

dselect knows about upgrades (packages on the currently available
medium that are upgrades of currently installed version) and offers
the user the option of taking advantage of them.  But it doesn't have
much notion of packages that are available on the current medium but
are *less* current than the currently installed versions.  dselect
should make a point of preventing users from inadvertently downgrading
packages, and (in order to ease their nerves) should, when
appropriate, make the user aware that this functionality is present.

The current behavior, with lines like

 *== Req base     mount        2.5l-1      2.5j-1      Tools for mounting and m

listed as simply among

    --- Up to date installed packages ---

is scary.  It should be under something like

    --- Super-current installed packages ---

so the user knows that dselect won't go off downgrading things without
serious explicit user overrides of default behavior being applied.

Ftape is now integrated into the linux kernel, so yes, it is provided (tho
it might be nice if someone generates a ftape package with some ftape
utility programs in it that don't come with the kernel, but are in the
ftape package).

Anyhow, I'm the new maintainer for taper, and I've fixed this bug
(previously reported as #3115), by removing the ftape dependency from
taper. So I'm closing this bug report. The new version of taper,
taper_6.7.4-1, will be available as part of debian soon, until then, you
can get it at ftp://kite.preferred.com/pub/code/debian/

in dselect's package selection smorgasboard menu, there's this great
big list of packages, one per line.  Which is wonderful.  But when
scrolling through it for the very first time, during setup of a a
brand new debian gnu/linux system, the user doesn't know how far
through it they are.  Uh oh, it might go on forever!  Will I be done
before dinnertime?

A simple indicator on the current package summary line in the middle
of the screen would give a big psychological boost:

Subject: Debian contact in Ann Arbor


I just got a message saying this didn't get through when I sent it to the
debian alias back in July...

Is there someone in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area contributing to the
Debian project who might be willing to take some time to present an
overview of the distribution?  There's a SEMiSLUG meeting on the second
Thursday of each month; a group of system and network administrators get
together once a month for a presentation and general discussion. 

It would be particularly great if someone could present this month (this
Thursday), since we don't yet have a presenter lined up!

Thanks.

Ok, since I've done already some (somewhat successful) attempts to
debianize qt, I'll take an alternate gui devel framework :-):

I take the xforms.  
(Anybody out there knowing somewhat more about a possible source licence

And since quota and perforate are somewhat related to lshell, I'll take
'em.

So, if there's no race condition:

I tried to bootstrap from the installation disks (3.5") but it does not
recognize my SONY CD76S (SCSI) CDROM.
I already used the same configuration for a Slackware distribution and
it perfectly worked (as it does under dos).
The problem seems to be connected with my SCSI card, the NCR53c810.

I also tried to bootstrap with the special kernels provided, but:
no one allows to access the cdrom; if I continue the installation, when
I try to install the Kernel, I get:
"installing the kernel...reinsert the boot disk:
error in archive format
something went wrong..."

 Related problem: the make-floppies utility presents a choice between 6
disks, the 6th being the kernel for the NCR53c810; but there are only 5
kernel files! the kernel for the NCR53c810 isn't simply there.

Installation data:
Debian 1.1.4, from the September 1996 Infomagic Linux developer's
resource cd
Pentium, HD conner SCSI, CDROM sony 76S SCSI. Configuration working with
slackware; and now working with red hat (sadly!) :-( 

Thank you very much for any help you can give me.

I have tried the above, and it works very well -- thanks!

It fell over once, but that was because of a cron job (standard with debian
linux) that caused it to perform a "find" on every fileserver on the
campus! Since there are rather a lot of them (we have two map files here,
totalling over 4500 lines), this could well have been because one or more
servers were down.

Could you let me have the patched source code? (We also use RedHat and
Slackware for which the .deb file is of little use). Alternatively, is 
there likely to be an official release of amd soon, with these patches 
applied? (Where is the primary source for amd anyway?).

Thanks again for your help.

Tim.

It's *gnat* , not *gnats*.  GNAT is the GNU Ada Translator; GNATS is
the Problem Report Management System :-)

If you've upgraded the gcc package to 2.7.2.1, then yes, gnat won't
work.  I suppose the next gnat package I release should have some sort
of exact-match dependency to avoid this problem, or it should drop the
override altogether (perhaps supplying an ada-gcc executable, which
would fail to compile C code if the gcc installation didn't
match... making it *much* clearer where the blame belongs.)

Go ahead and reassign this bug to gnat.  If you actually *use* gnat,
let me know, and in the meantime downgrading gcc will get it working
again.

(either very very few people use gnat, or those that do don't also
build C programs :-)

Does anyone have a path that make /sbin/clock work? I vaguely remember someone
posting it a while ago. Right now s /sbin/clock -w just gives me a segfault.

Right, sorry -- I was coming down off of being wired on expresso and
not thinking/reading/associating very clearly.

Probably...  Part of the problem is that dpkg doesn't summerize
warnings about overrides -- if I run dselect and it chugs away, I'm
likely to miss something important like this because it a) scrolls by
too quickly or b) I'm off getting a glass of water.

No, I don't use it -- and I don't think anyone using my system does
either.  But thanks for the info.

Please don't override the gcc from the gcc package in any case.
Instead, please send me the appropriate files to make the normal gcc
Ada-aware.  Look at how fortran is handled in the current gcc package.

This is probably a good idea.  Gcc's handling of compiler versions is
nice for C, C++ and ObjC, since they are fully integrated, but it
breaks down horribly for other languages because of different release
cycles.

Well, it's kind of hard to validate the free-form argument to the -A
flag, since any error will look the same as any other, obscure, syntax
error.  I'll pass you suggestion along anyway, though.

Please don't override the gcc from the gcc package in any case.
Instead, please send me the appropriate files to make the normal gcc
Ada-aware.  Look at how fortran is handled in the current gcc package.

This is probably a good idea.  Gcc's handling of compiler versions is
nice for C, C++ and ObjC, since they are fully integrated, but it
breaks down horribly for other languages because of different release
cycles.

Package: ftp.debian.org

When I uploaded debiandoc-sgml 1.0.5 the .changes file below was
included.   As you can see it said `Distribution: unstable'.  However,
I see that the package has not been installed into unstable but into
project/experimental.  It should be moved, and steps should be taken
to stop the problem from recurring.

$ find -name 'debiandoc*'
./project/experimental/debiandoc-sgml_1.0.5.dsc
./project/experimental/debiandoc-sgml_1.0.5.tar.gz
./project/experimental/debiandoc-sgml_1.0.5_all.deb

IMHO, teTeX is a very good package.  I think it should be used as the
base for Debian TeX, if that's possible at all.

Could reasonable defaults be provided?  If not, then certainly there
are more trivial questions asked by postinst scripts?

I had already packaged and uploaded popclient before noticing this.
I'm not sure it needs to be in netstd; if we take it out, I can
trivially upload another version that Replaces: netstd.

I will move debiandoc-sgml, but dinstall's behavior was correct.

The override files instructed dinstall to put debiandoc-sgml into
experimental, overriding what was in the .changes file.

This problem will recur whenever a package moves from one section or
distribution to another.  dinstall cannot handle this case because it
doesn't know where to look for the older version to unlink it.

Instead it assumes that the .changes file listed incorrect sections and
distributions (a fairly frequent occurrence actually), and installs the
package into the old location.  Since package movements are much more
rare than .changes files with incorrect locations, dinstall's assumption
is the right one.

dinstall could, alternatively, require human intervention in this case.
But it was written to run as automatically as possible.  It will make a
recoverable error, which is usually the right thing to do, rather than
do nothing at all.

A third alternative is to turn the `Override file lists section as
... overriding your choice of ...' message into an error, so the package
would get rejected.  But this is illogical as it would require MORE
intervention: maintainers would be forced to reupload new .changes
files and the distribution maintainer would still have to edit the
override file.

So I would like to close this bug, as it's not a bug.  Of couse, you
may be able to suggest a fourth alternative which is better.


Guy

PS - I can't seem to log in to master right now, but I'll move
debiandoc-sgml when I can.

Package: popclient, netstd
Version: 3.05-1, 2.07-1

The netstd package provides popclient 2.21, and the popclient package 
provides popclient 3.05.  These two versions aren't completely 
compatable.

Neither package conflicts with the other, yet both provide 
/usr/bin/popclient, /usr/man/man.1/popclient.1, and 
/usr/doc/copyright/popclient.

Dselect is still configured to automatically override conflicts like 
this, so when I installed the popclient package, I had to modify my 
scripts, and when I installed a new version of the netstd package, I 
had to remodify my scripts.

Suggestions:

1) Remove popclient from netstd, or
2) Update the popclient in netstd and eliminate the separate package.

The executable should be recompiled.  There are a few outstanding bugs on the fortune package, some dating back over a year, that could easily be fixed by a repackaging.  I could be wrong, but it seems as if the maintainer has abandoned it.

I will not, as mirror maintainer, change this. IMHO doo_deletes is not
important enough to warrant questions in the postinst. The mirror package
requires local finetuning. Life's too short to take care of everything.

Package: diald
Version: 0.14-4


This is what happened when I tried to upgrade to the new diald.  I _do_
have a slip device in my kernel.     I _didn't_ press return at the
first prompt below, I didn't have a chance to before the script continued.


============

Do you want to install the files fetched [y]: 
Installing files...
(Reading database ... 21460 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace diald 0.14-3 (using .../net/diald_0.14-4.deb) ...

                        -*- ATTENTION -*-

Your kernel does not seem to have SLIP devices.

diald must be able to set up a SLIP device to do its work, even
if you only plan to use PPP connections.

If you know your kernel has SLIP devices, then this is a bug.
Please report it.

If you know your kernel has SLIP devices you can override my judgment
by entering <y> or <Y> below. The installation of diald will then
proceed as if nothing had happened.

Proceed with the installation? [n] Can't open upgrade: No such file or directory
Can't open 0.14-3: No such file or directory
Aborting installation.
dpkg: error processing debian/unstable/binary-i386/net/diald_0.14-4.deb (--install):
 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

Please check the script /etc/init.d/diald. This is configured
for a modem on /dev/ttyS0 and it should be changed to match your
set up.

IMPORTANT
Users have reported that using the diald/pppd combination on
/dev/cua? devices causes problems. Use a /dev/ttyS? for diald.
Let me repeat this: the man page shows several examples with /dev/cua1.
THESE WILL NOT WORK (pppd willcomplain about the device being busy).
Use /dev/ttyS? devices instead.
Look into the doc directory (debian.device) for a possible explanation.

Also read the diald(8) man page and edit the configuration file
/etc/diald.options according to your system setup.

Work is in progress on an auto-configuration script.

Press <Return> to continue ...

I'll remove it from the netstd package. There is one open bug report
against the popclient in netstd. I'll reassign it to the popclient
package to make sure it won't get lost.

The home page at 

   Linkname: Debian GNU/Linux
        URL: http://www.debian.org/

has a link to

   Linkname: Mailing List Archives
   Filename: http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/

The latter pages seems not to have been updated since June 96.

I used to be able to follow disccusion and learn about current
developments regarding Debian by reading articles there, without
having to subscribe to the (fairly high-volume) lists - no more so.

This is aggravated by coinciding with reported problems to subscribe
to (at least one of the) lists, see bug #3978 and messages to 
debian-users.

fvwm2 doesn't include the FvwmClean (aka NoClutter) module, even
though it references it in the system .fvwm2rc.  Preferably it should
include this module, but if not it shouldn't be referenced.

I may say something stupid, in which case please excuse me, but: could
not debian.announce and debian.changes be merged? It will be easy to
distinguish between announces of new releases and announces of new
packages or changes, and I'm not sure there's room/need for two
separate newsgroups.

Also (but here I'm less sure) why not have debian.admin instead of
debian.install? If I understand it, debian.tech is for developers only
despite its more open name, and debian.nontech does not look like a
place where to discuss technical administration issues because of its
name. I understand too that the aim is to have people starting
installing/administering a Debian system find a place where to ask
their questions. But will they really be answered if the group is
only read by people who installs first or volunteers wanting to help
(which may not do that all their time)? I think if the group discusses
administration stuff in general, including first-time installation,
people asking for help on this installation process will certainly
find more help; in addition they will also be able to monitor the
group for administration problems that interest them (for example
printing, PPP, dial on demand, etc.) as first-time or long-time users.

Yves.

Package: fsp
Version: 2.71-4

The distribution fspd uses /var/tmp as cache dir. According to FSSTND
/var/tmp is for 'temporary files, used to keep /tmp small'. However, the
contents files of fspd cached here are not temporary. Unless the archive
changes these files will remain unchanged all the time. If it changes the
files are recreated. I suggest to use a dir under /var/lib instead.

Correct. The scripts that automated the archiving were lost in a disk
crash then.

I hope to recreate them soon.

Hallo Christoph!

}Package: sysklogd
}Version: 1.3-6
}
}klogd seems not be able to find the /System.map file. I get the following
}messages from the kernel on bootup:

Have you tried this with 1.3-11, too? If so I will upload a new
release within the next days.

Regards,

	Joey

That sounds good...  However, please -DON'T- mark popclient as Replaces: netstd.  As far as I understand, Replaces should only be used when one package completely replaces another's functionality, and I don't thing popclient replaces all of netstd.

Package: netdiag
Version: 0.2-3

The postinst script copies the tcpdump binary from the tcpdump
package and the traceroute binary from the netstd package to /usr/bin
and makes them setuid root.adm. This allows all users in the existing
adm group to use tcpdump to get the unencrypted passwords that are
transmitted over the network.

IMHO the netdiag package shouldn't use tcpdump/traceroute
(neither as binaries nor as links). Copying/linking binaries from
other packages just to have them in /usr/bin is a bad idea. Maybe
something like this should be added to the guidelines.


Thanks,

Peter

Alright I tried all the ideas I had. What shall I do to get consistency
with network diagnostic tools that should be be in the hads of
troublemakers?

I know the adm group is not the right one. Shall I try to set up a new
group of users being able to use network diagnostics?

tcpdump and traceroute are essential network diagnostic tools. Somehow
they need to fit into the scheme. Before the netdiag package I manually
changed permissions on all machine I installed because our administrative
staff is doing troubleshooting on campus quite frequently.

Please respond by cc to me since I dont have access to debian-devel.

Package: bootdisk
Version: 

When I boot, the ne2000 clone (a Genius 2000 II) is not
detected.  Other Linux boot disks from Slackware and
Redhat (containing pre-2.0 kernels) both detect the card
no problems.  Subsequent upgrading to 2.0 for Redhat
still finds the card.

Here is the listing for Slackware's case:

NE*000 ethercard probe at 0x340: 00 c0 df 45 07 8b
eth0: NE2000 found at 0x340, using IRQ 3.
ne.c:v1.10 9/23/94 Donald Becker (becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov)

I have tried many different I/O ports and IRQ settings
and also "reserve"ing the right bits.  I have no SCSI.
I have also disconnected my CDROM and sound-card to no avail.

Is the ne2k probe in these boot disks ?

Debian 1.1 (latest stable - is this 1.1.8?)
Kernel: 2.0.6 #2
 
Many thanks

Ian

I am having problems getting date to produce the date in the format for
the changelog. It is probably just ignorance, although I have read the
date manpage frontwards and backwards, there is no definition of datestr.
The closest I have gotten is:

date -d "+%a, +%d +%B +%Y +%T"

which gives the error: "invalid date format"

Ian, how do you do this? Anybody? 

TIA,

Dwarf

Due to circumstances beyond my control my email addresses
@chiark.chu.cam.ac.uk are going to go away very shortly.

The new addresses are:
 ian@chiark.greenend.org.uk - general stuff, dpkg, &c
 owner@bugs.debian.org - bug system
 ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk - if you reply to anything I sent
                                from ijackson@chiark.chu.cam.ac.uk
 debupload@chiark.greenend.org.uk - admin of cron-uploader to master

I'll make a new release of most of my packages before this happens.

Ian.

Hello you out there,

for you in Europe, using chiark as relay to master.debian.org ... since
the procedure of uploading to Incoming and moving to ../queue is
somewhat error prone, I've written a little perl script (using
ftp.pl and lchat.pl from the mirror package) to do this
for me.

If somebody is interested in, please mail me.

Features:

        * using *.changes file to determine the files to be
          uploaded 
        * checking the md5 sums before starting further processing
        * logging of uploads (preventing duplicated uploads)
        * moving around on the ftp server, if necessary
        * sending mail to debian-changes after
          completed upload of every package

Bugs:
        * not too smart about several directories (for now you'll 
          have to put the files (*.changes, *.diff.gz, *.deb,  ...)
          into the directory where you'll fire up `upload'
        * not too (to none) smart about locating the *ftp.pl and
          *chat.pl modules.  (Will be fixed soon.)

Just Use the 822-date Ian provides with dpkg:

edd@miles:~> 822-date
Tue, 10 Sep 1996 11:38:13 -0400          

I'd rather use the emacs changelog mode, though.

> The executable should be recompiled.  There are a few outstanding bugs on the fortune package, some dating back over a year, that could easily be fixed by a repackaging.  I could be wrong, but it seems as if the maintainer has abandoned it.

More likely, he's waiting for the new package specification issues to
settle out.

The NE2000 driver is in a module. Use the "modconf" tool to configure it,
or "modprobe ne io=0xXXXX", where XXXX is the I/O bus address of the card
in hex. You might be able to make it work without the "io=" part, I wasn't
sure if that is possible or not from a glance at the driver source.

We couldn't fit all of the devices in one kernel and still have it boot on
a 4MB system. Thus, almost all network card drivers are modules.

	Thanks

	Bruce

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.3.14

When I try to build a package dpkg-deb complains:

mycroft# dpkg --build debian/tmp-dev ..
dpkg-deb: building package `libtclobjc-dev' in `../libtclobjc-dev_1.1b3-1_i386.deb'.
dpkg-deb: unable to create `../libtclobjc-dev_1.1b3-1_i386.ddebian/tmp-dev/DEBIAN/conffiles': No such file or directory

If I give dpkg a specific file for output it works fine:

mycroft# dpkg --build debian/tmp-dev ../foo
dpkg-deb: building package `libtclobjc-dev' in `../foo'.
mycroft# dpkg --build debian/tmp-dev foo

It's entirely your business what you do on the machines that you admin.

But you are plain WRONG to move binaries from other Debian packages around.
Please don't do that. And Peter is right --- this has to go into the
Guidelines.

> That sounds good...  However, please -DON'T- mark popclient as Replaces: netstd.  As far as I understand, Replaces should only be used when one package completely replaces another's functionality, and I don't thing popclient replaces all of netstd.

I thought it meant the package replaced files in netstd.  If not, what
*should* I be using?

The package maintainer's guide on www.debian.org doesn't seem to cover
Replaces: at all.

You are loading the module for the ne2000 after the system has booted havent
you?  I don't think we 'auto-detect' anything anymore so as to save space on
the installation floppies.  If you load the ne2000 module from the menu what
happens?  My SMC Elite 16C Ultra card doesnt get detected at bootup when I
installed Debian 1.1.6 to test the distribution - I loaded the module and it
found it fine.

Hope that helps.

That's not true.  Replaces should be used whenever one package
overwrites files from another.  See the dpkg programmer's manual for
details.

In this case, popclient should use 
	Replaces: netstd (<= 2.07-1)
assuming that future versions of netstd will not include popclient.

I did so - shouldn't the runtime version depend on elf-x11r6lib?

DEBIAN/control:

Package: xforms
Version: 0.81-3

Excuse my French, but that is bullshit. 

He had six months to do an Elf release when our guidelines were unchanged.
Moreover, both formats are currently allowed, you he could use the old one if
need be.

Aout needs to be extinguished soon rather than later.

Errors were encountered while processing:

I think it should just accept that there is no such thing as a postrm script anymore.

Buddha: Read the policy.html to find information about updates by other
than the current maintainer. Then contribute an upgrade to the fortune
package. I will be happy to provide whatever assistance you may need, if
it is within my skill level.

The new package specifications are available in any of the most recent
dpkg packages. Between the policy and the programmers manuals (in html)
there is now a manual for everyone to read. The new source package
management scheme is easy to convert to, and a dream to execute. One
command builds everything you will need to upload including signed changes
and Debian Source Control files (.dsc). I am sure that there are, as yet
unanswered questions about the implementation. But so far all my
conversions are going "by the book".

True, however, like the ext file system, it will be supported (at least in
the kernel) for quite some time (read forever...).

The following problem reports have not yet been marked as `taken up' by a
message to done@bugs.debian.org or or `forwarded' by a
message to forwarded@bugs.debian.org.

The maintainer listed against each package is derived from the Maintainer
field of the package as found in the development tree; there is an override
file that can be amended to get the right results if you have taken over a
package and do not expect to issue a new version soon.

Variant versions of the Maintainer field for the same actual package
maintainer will be listed separately.

Maintainers with few outstanding bugs appear first, to avoid those with few
bugs being lost deep in the message.

Wow! a user who can give insightful suggestions on how to improve
dselect.  I wish I had the presence of mind to translate my
frustrations in using dselect into useful bug reports.  Thank you very
much!!!

Does anyone use a call-back facility? That is, does anyone phone his/her
company and they call back to establish an internet connection? If so could
you please give me some info on it. I don't like the idea of using Windows
NT.

Package: isp-ppp
Version: 2.2.0f-1

IMO this should have a `Conflicts: ppp' line in its control file so that ppp
is removed by dpkg. As it is right now some files of ppp remain and a
re-installation of ppp will overwrite some files of isp-ppp. And I take it
ppp doesn't have a `Replaces: isp-ppp' line.

Package: file
Version: 3.19-4

There are bad magic numbers for Microsoft's applications in /etc/magic.
The strings that are used works OK for English version of MS Word 6 and
MS Excel 5, but when I run eg.
$ file polish.doc
where polish.doc is created using Polish nationalized version of MS Word I'm
told just that it's data file.
The wrong behaviour is caused by nationalized strings inside Word documents
and Excel worksheets.
The bug appears at least in versions 0.93R6 and 1.1.
I'd suggest changing the magic numbers, as made in the patch below.

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.2.11elf

I run into a problem with dpkg (or what):

I used to have 'cron' and 'at' on my system, but I suddenly realized,
that they are gone. I admit, I could have deleted them in 'dselect'
by mistake. However, it should be possible to install them again.
See bellow

This is the status in dselect
:    ------- Available Important packages in section admin -------
: -** Imp admin    at           2.9b-1      2.9b-1      Delayed job execution
: -** Imp admin    cron         3.0pl1-32   3.0pl1-32   management of regular

This is the status on console (similar results for 'man at' or 'find at'...)
:#type at cron
:type: at: not found
:type: cron: not found

To recover, I tried to delete (remove) at and cron in dselect, now it looks like
: --- Imp admin    at           2.9b-1      2.9b-1      Delayed job execution
: --- Imp admin    cron         3.0pl1-32   3.0pl1-32   management of regular

So now there should NOT be these packages. After I select them again
and try to install, I get from dselect
:Processing status file...
:Processing Package files...
: stable...
: non-free...
:Constructing list of files to get...
:Approximate total space required: 0k
:Do you want to select the files to get [n]:

and NO files are downloaded, installed etc etc.
The status changes to the original state then.

(I got no responses from linux.debian.users)

I think mgetty can be set up to do call back.  Also the LSM shows 2:


Title:
      Callback package for Linux 
Version:
      1.21 
Description:
      This package allows callback for Linux systems which are
      equipped with a modem. Prerequisites are: setserial 2.0.2 or
      higher and getty_ps 2.0.7b or higher. Contained are three
      programs: cblogin, a login-program for dial-in connections,
      cbgetty, a pseudo-getty and cbstat, a user-administrator's
      tool. The package contains a file callback.doc, which provides a
      comprehensive guide to the installation of a dial-in and
      dial-out modem before addressing the callback issue. This guide
      may be valuable even for the `bare' modem installation.

      The Linux Extended Ring Daemon. It matches "sequences" of a ring/timedelay "alphabet" with
      rings and time delays coming from a modem. A fully matched sequence will execute a specified
      command. Thus, commands can be run while your modem stays on-hook. Does not affect getty's
      or other progs using the same port. Source and an aout bin are included.

I've been working on converting the gmp package to the new source format
and adding shared libraries to the package at the same time. Since version
tagging no longer takes place in debian/rules I have had to hard code the
so version numbers into both the rules and the Makefile. I have looked
through the new docs with no success (my index karma again probably). Is
there a method of picking up this information from a central source in the
package?

TIA,

Reply-To: ligs@ssc.com

At Matt Welsh's request, Specialized Systems Consultants has taken over
the maintenance of Matt's book "Linux Installation & Getting Started".

This book can be found on the web at
  http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/LDP/gs/gs.html

It can also be accessed through SSC's Linux Resources Page,
  http://www.ssc.com/linux/
under The Linux Documentation Project. 

"Linux Installation and Getting Started is an installation and new-user
guide for the Linux system, meant for Unix novices and Gurus alike. It
contains information on how to obtain Linux, installation of the software,
a beginning tutorial for new Unix users, and an introduction to system
administration. It is meant to be general enough to be applicable to any
distribution of the Linux software."

Currently, SSC is working on a new installation chapter just for the
Debian Linux release, and has plans to do chapters related to each
of the major distributions.

If you have any suggestions or corrections pertaining to this book,
please send them to ligs@ssc.com.

Package: pine
Version: 3.94-2

Pine, ever since I upgraded to this version, has crashed on me frequently.
It seems to happen if I fail to hit a key for a while, as if it's some
sort of timeout, but that's not the only time it does it.  No coredump,
and no message saying "Pine terminating" or anything like that.

I've been running pine with the `open' command to put it in a fresh VC; I
haven't observed this behaviour when running it from an ordinary shell, so
maybe it doesn't like being a session leader.  Also, I tried running it
under strace, but it wouldn't crash! - that seems to confirm this
conclusion.

This is *very* annoying ...

Nikhil.

Thanks, Guy, for clarifying that issue.  I've added the following to
the programmers' manual:
> When selecting which level of dependency to use you should consider
> how important the depended-on package is to the functionality of the
> one declaring the dependency.  Some packages are composed of

Prompted by the recent problem with ADA and /usr/bin/gcc, I've added
the new rule below to the policy manual in dpkg 1.4.0.

Ian.

<sect>Use of <prgn/dpkg-divert/ and <prgn/update-alternatives/
<p>

Do not use <prgn/dpkg-divert/ on a file belonging to another package
without consulting the maintainer of that package first.
<p>

In order for <prgn/update-alternatives/ to work correctly all the
packages which supply an instance of the `shared' command name (or,
in general, filename) must use it.  You can use <tt/Conflicts/ to
force the deinstallation of other packages supplying it which do not
(yet) use <prgn/update-alternatives/.  It may in this case be
appropriate to specify a conflict on earlier versions on something -
this is an exception to the usual rule that this is not allowed.

Is there some compelling reason for doing it this way? Do you use any
options with the open command? Do you use the open command on any other
programs? Do they work properly?

Well, like the doctor said: "If it hurts when you do that, just don't do
that". ;-)
Seriously, I'll see what I can figure out.

Package: xpdf
Version: 0.5-0

More of a misfeature than a bug.

There is an error message that pops up when xpdf tries to open an
encrypted PDF file.  It complains that Adobe has not released decryption
specs to developers, and implores the user to e-mail Adobe to complain.

The latest information at the xpdf home page states that Adobe has
finally released the decryption specs.  It also says that a new version
of xpdf is in the works, but its release is uncertain.

It might be wise to change the error message until a new version of xpdf
is released by the author.  Just a polite gesture more than anything
else. :-)

This is the error message in question:

Error (0): PDF file is encrypted and cannot be displayed
Error (0): * Please send email to devsup-person@adobe.com and ask
Error (0): * them to prove that PDF is truly an open standard by

It's coming up to my thesis deadline (well, my funding is starting to
look thin), so I'll be spending somewhat less time on Debian over the
next few weeks/months.

I'm about to release dpkg 1.4.0, which will probably be the last one
for several weeks.  I'm going to be away for a week or so soon, and
very busy househunting, jobhunting and writing up the rest of the
time.

Expect replies to your email to take a long time.  I really appreciate
it when people answer each other's questions on debian-devel about
dpkg &c., even if some of them are wrong.  I can always post saying
`Joe Smith is right' :-).

If there is a grievous bug in dpkg (or my other packages) then someone
else may have to fix it.  If you wish to do this please
 (a) be sure you understand the code,
 (b) make the minimal fix (obviously) until I can get round to it,
 (c) mail the patch and rationale to maintonly@bugs or submit@bugs,
 (d) use version numbers like 1.4.0.1 (ie, add a new component) and
 (e) correspond on debian-devel to avoid simultaneous releases.
Please don't make releases with any major changes.

If the policy or programmers' manuals need updating then Guy or Bruce
or someone ought to approve the change.

I will still be reading debian-devel and my email, and if something
really needs my input I'll pop up and pontificate.

Things that I'm really sorry I haven't got round to in dpkg are:

* Configuration files (rc files) for dpkg/dselect, and associated
extra configurability.  I want this done the way I have in mind, so
I'd like it left to me.

* New user interface for dselect.  This is potentially something
someone else could write.  It only has to replace the `select' part of
dselect, and integration can be done some other time.  While testing
it could even be a separate program.

* System administrators' manual, and complementarily the manpage
dpkg(8).  If someone else wants to write this, fine, but you have to
be _very_ familiar with the way dpkg works.  I don't have the time to
spend editing and correcting something in detail, so if you get it
wrong you'll just get a message back from me saying `sorry, it's
techically inaccurate, I'm not shipping it.'

* See the WISHLIST (TODO in the source package).  There are many
things there that individually wouldn't take up so much time ...

I expect to be in a new job and house by the end of November, and a
month or two after that I expect to be with you again in full.

Ian.

PS: I feel really uncomfortable putting my name in the Subject line
like that :-).

This is the version in dpkg 1.4.0 (in dpkg-dev).

debian-manuals (2.1.1.0) unstable;

  * Hard links are forbidden in source packages (they didn't work anyway,
    and can't easily be made to work reliably).
  * Do not use dpkg-divert or update-alternatives without consultation.

  * Do not need to declare dependencies on Essential packages.
  * Restrictions on Pre-Depends stated in policy manual.
  * debian/substvars file is now almost always auto-generated.
  * Shared libraries must be installed stripped.
  * Essential and Pre-Depends put together in policy manual.

  * Explained component-wise (file-wise) vs. package-wise dependencies.

I use open together with dynamic-vc to implement a sort of terminal-based
full-screen windowing system (as I can't use X).  I do something like

$ open -s -- <command> <args>

(shortened by a shell script :-) ).  In this case it's pine with no
arguments.

I've been using this for over a year, and run almost everything I use in
this fashion.  For all of that time, I've been using a previous version
of pine (I think it was 3.91 or something ...) with no problem.

You can just do what dpkg does - parse the changelog:

/usr/lib/dpkg/parsechangelog/debian < debian/changelog | \
sed -n '/Version: /s///p'

If you use a different changelog format, you'll have to call your
parser instead.  If you want just the major number for an soname, use
'/Version: \(.*\)\..*/s//\1/p' as the sed command.

Who is doing the libc6 package? It would be interesting to see how
much of our stuff builds and runs off of this, and how much trouble
it has with shadow password, etc.

It also changes the format of some configuration files, I fear. I noticed
a different format for the resolver configuration file. We should figure
out what we are doing about that.

	Thanks

From: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@myware.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the next test release of the GNU C library.
Again my errors are fixed and many enchancements were implemented.

The complete sources are available at

	ftp://alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu/gnu

The bad news is that this release does not work for Hurd yet.  We hope
that future versions will not have this problem anymore but in the
moment there are a few problems.


The main changes:

- the building process should now run faster when a separate building
  directory is used.  Andreas Schwab changed the Makefiles so that they
  create subdirs according to the structure of the sources.  This
  avoids the huge directory which was used before.

- the add-on mechanism should now work correctly.  Using this technique
  one can add additional code which is compiled as part of glibc.  This
  can also be used to overwrite code from the original glibc sources.

  Currently two add-ons are available:
  * crypt, Michael Glad UFC package
  * LinuxThreads by Xavier Leroy
  Both packages are available together with the sources.  Simply unpack
  the sources in the glibc toplevel dir and run configure with the
   --enable-add-ons option.

  IMPORTANT!!!  Do *not* download the crypt package from the FSF server
  when you are outside the US or Canada.  I have made all files (the
  libc and the add-ons) also available on

	ftp://i44ftp.info.uni-karlsruhe.de/pub/linux/libc/glibc-pre2

- enchanced thread support for Linux.  In fact I expect that we are
  close to a thread safe libc.  The hooks for glibc are available when
  the LinuxThreads add-on is available.  Some tests already run but
  the stdio implementation still has a few problem (partly caused by
  the not yet finished thread library).

- more and better message translations available


For more details please look through the changes.


The situation for ports other than to Hurd or Linux didn't changed.
There is still nobody interested in seeing glibc-2.0 on other
platforms.


As alawys, send comments or bug reports to

	bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu.

Please always include the output of a run of the libc.so object in the
mail (yes, executing the libc shared library itself produces some
output).

Thanks,

: I've been working on converting the gmp package to the new source format

        * obtain the variables values from central cource
          (debian/substvars) or from within the dpkg-* library
          routines (see docs for available vars (e.g.  ${Source-Version}))

and

        * output the contents of a specified variable
          to be uses like:
                dpkg-substvars --print Source-Version

and/or

        * filter (a la sed) and substitute varibles
          to be used like:
                dpkg-substvars <debian/shlibs >debian/tmp/DEBIAN/shlibs


What do you think about?

(Or have I missed such nice tool?  (Having dpkg-1.3.14).

This is a real problem. But you probably cannot really fix it since you stil
have that possibily via another machine. My collegue tried this in recent
weeks and wondered why it didn't work until I told him about ssh. :-)

Totally agreed. Just for curiosity, why were they moved anyway? Most users
who know these tools will figure out how to start them from /usr/sbin
anyway.

For me, this is still inadequate. Subjective phrases like "components
of varying degrees of importance" and "required by the more important
components" do not lead all readers to the same conclusions. This
importance of the components depends on the goals of the user. Thus, I
find dpkg-buildpackage to be as important to me as dpkg and don't find
dselect to be very important at all. (I realize that this is my personal
point of view, and not shared by all others)
It has been my understanding that the dependency feature of the package
installation software is intended to provide the user with an installation
where all functionality provided by a package will work when the package
has been properly installed (with it's dependency requirements met first).
The relative importance of the various functional components is irrelevant
to this issue, since this is purely subjective. If some functionality is
provided by a package, some indication of the other packages that are
necessary for it's proper operation is absolutely necessary.
If a bit of functionality is so unimportant as to not require reporting of
it's dependencies then why was it included in the package in the first
place?
I have been thinking about a possible dependency problem with Pine. Pine
uses ispell to do it's spell checking. If ispell is not properly
installed, Pine complains, but does so in a way that provides no
information to the user about what the problem is. (The error messages are
pushed off the screen so fast as to be unreadable. The last message that
appears is "Spell checking complete")
For me (heavily spelling impaired) the spell checker is an absolute
necessity. For others it may be totaly unnecessary. How do I determin
which level of depends to use (if any)?

Help me decide which is correct by sending your suggestion via private
e-mail. I will summarize the vote back to the list so we can see just how
much consensus can be had on this kind of issue.

Thanks,

Dwarf

Could somebody please point me to the "changelog" file format?  I'm trying
to build the new 'dftp' package but it keeps dieing on the changelog file.

Please respond by email since I _still_ have not been able to subscribe to
this list.

Yes, I think it's a bug.  1.4.3 could just wipe out the recorded data
in its postinst, forcing you to resetup, or it could come with 1.4.2's
hardcoded location as the default.

I'll file a report.

Actually, it was Raul Miller who clarified the issue for me, when he wrote:

I had previously been under the impression that the Debian packaging 
mechanism was meant to be completely self-contained.  No qualitative
evaluations, no fuzziness.

I presume that Raul's description accurately portrays the packaging system 
as having a more limited set of goals.  In that case, while the system may be 
viewed as a vast improvement over other packaging systems which exist
at present (e.g., anything Microsoft offers), it nonetheless has room 
for improvement.  Whether that improvement will happen as part of this 
project or another remains, of course, to be seen.

I think that we should try to make .changes files right.  I think the
new source format will help here.  (dchanges made it very easy to say
`Distribution: unstable' without thinking.)

Could you report the bad Distribution as a bug, if it turns out to be
true ?

How would it know that if the discrepency was a mistake in the .changes
file or a moving package?  I should have said that dinstall can't
handle this case because it can't differentiate it from an incorrect
.changes file.

Yes, that caused problems for me because I had to make certain sections
special, mapping to distributions with the same name.
unstable/contrib, for instance, maps to contrib/contrib.  The new
source format certainly helps, but it doesn't guarantee that this won't
happen.

That reminds me to obsolete dchanges.  Plenty of people are using the
old format, but I'd like to discourage it.

I will make dinstall warn if there was a mistake in the .changes's
Distribution field.

That's correct.

Pre-depends and essentialness are different things.  The first prevents
a package from existing in an unconfigured state (when dependencies
might not be satisfied).  The second prevents a package from being
removed.

In both cases the intent is the same: there should *always* be a
working version of the package installed.  So very few packages should
have one without the other.  A quick script gives:

adduser ess but not pre-dep and has dep
at pre-dep but not ess
libc5 pre-dep but not ess
modules pre-dep but not ess
ncurses3.0 ess but not pre-dep and has dep
perl pre-dep but not ess

All but two of these should have both or neither.  The only that look
correct are perl, because base includes a stripped version, and libc5,
which requires a working ld.so, but might be removed in favor of
libc6.

Note that packages in base are *not* automatically essential.  The key
point here is that the system is unusable, not hard to use.

Hi,
there have been newer versions of these two programs out for some time
now:
gdb-4.16 (current in Debian: 4.15)
binutils-2.7 (current in Debian: 2.6)

David, are you working on debianizing the newer versions? I'm pretty much
interested in a newer binutils, because the current Debian version does
not generate correct code for the 68060 processor (like the current 2.0.18
kernel on accelerated m68k machines). A patch to gdb-4.16 has also been made
available by Andreas Schwab to make it compile on m68k. If you want, I 
can send it to you.

Thanks,
Frank

Hi,

The `acm' distributed with Debian-1.1.x is an `a.out' binary and depends
on a.out X11 libraries.  The Packages file however, does not list
xcompat or libc4-aout(?) as one of its dependencies.

Hello.  I would like to generate ps versions of the new
policy and programmer manuals which are formatted for letter
size.  I notice that sgml2latex does not work on the .sgml
files in the dpkg source, and that Ian uses a modified
debiandoc2html command.  Ian, is there a debiandoc2latex
program available?  Alternatively, could you provide a
letter-size version of the manuals?

Thanks.  Syrus.

Hi Syrus --

You said:

> size.  I notice that sgml2latex does not work on the .sgml ...

If you'd just like to convert the existing postscript files (which
were formatted for A4 paper) to letter paper, then you can use:

psresize -Pa4 -pletter < policy.ps > policy.letter.ps

Ditto for programmer.ps.

To use the .sgml files, you'll need to fetch and install the DTD
that Ian used, then the conversion files he used.  

Good luck,
Susan Kleinmann

This version fixes the clock segfault on "-w" on our desktop machines,
but our Dell portable still gets a segfault.  Not only that, but the
it actually halts the hardware clock in the process (not good).  If we
revert to 2.5-4, everything works fine.  So it looks like the patch
worked, but only for some machines.

Thanks

I've received a few emails since I took over vim, asking if vim 4.2
has yet been packaged in debian format. The stock response has been
that, since 4.2 introduced a condition - "distribute vim on a CD-ROM,
and you should/must send me a copy of that CD-ROM" - I decided not to.
Would it perhaps be reasonable to package up 4.2, and place it in the
non-free section, especially considering that 4.3 (currently in beta
test) will remove that condition?

It's been at least a month since I took over 3.0, and a number of
people are probably getting impatient :-)

Cheers.

Install the sources of the hello package and look at changelog, that's what
i did.  Apparently the format is

<package> (<version>) <distribution>;urgency=<urgency>

  * <changelog entry>
  * <another changelog entry>

 -- <maintainer>  <date>

with <..> to be replaced by the proper values.

This is a hack, and it's the first time I've found a "real" use for
Netscrape. Use Netscrape to open the html file, then choose file/save as
and change the file format from "Source" to "PostScript" and click "OK".
This should get you the format you want.

It is ok to have multiple versions of a package in different
distributions.  You can place 4.2 in non-free, leave the current
version in unstable, and put 4.3 in unstable when it comes out.

Me. On the Alpha, that is. It uses libc6 as its primary libc, and
the Alpha patches are 30% 64-bit changes and 70% libc6 changes. For
the i386 it would easiest to work from that.

I'll finally have some time to work on this again, I'm just waiting
for Richard H. to release the Alpha patches to the latest snapshot.

Not that I know of. It does add a new file: /etc/service.switch, but
that's about all. And it has reasonable defaults if that file is missing.

If anyone is going to do this, please base it on

ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/people/miquels/debian/BETA/binutils-2.7-1.tar.gz

This is the version I use on the Alpha. I've merged the debian binutils-2.6 
and the FSF binutils-2.7 to get a version that is backwards compatible
with building older kernels.

Mike.

Was this intended for me?  If so, I don't remember seeing it before.
Please remember that I've fallen of the -devel list and can't get back
on.

Anyway, the deal for gdb and binutils is that I only have enough time
to track H.J. Lu's versions.  Since he hasn't released public versions
of gdb-4.16 and binutils-2.7 yet, neither have I.  However, if anyone
out there is capable of handling these packages and devote more time
to them, I will gladly give them up.  They have actually been up for
adoption for some time, I just haven't publicized it much.

Hi,
there is one file in the rex/binary-m68k archive which has a wrong name
(base/tar_1.11.8-5_m68k.deb, where the _m68k is wrong). This is
probably so because it was moved in manually instead of being checked
in by Guy's scripts. Is it ok to manually rename this file, or will that
cause some other listings (Packages?) to become inconsistent with what's
in the archive?

Frank

Hi,
I noticed that in the rex/source archive there is currently only the
complete XFree-3.1.2 source tree. Are there any means to get ahold of
just the Debian specific diffs for it, even if they are quite a lot? 
We need to get X11 for m68k debianized, but having to extract the changes that
were made from the complete source tree myself is..somewhat dumb if there 
is another way.

Thanks,
Frank

Thanks Susan!  The first example in the psresize manpage is identical
to this line.  I just needed to know that psresize exists.

Thanks also to Dale!  But, the first method worked fine.

Partly, I ment to contact you but somehow it slipped through. Oh well.
You still aren't back on debian-devel? Hmm.. I understand lists.debian.org
is going to be moved to a new server soon, fortunately.

Indeed. However, binutils-2.7 runs "out of the box" for Linux/ELF. I don't
think a special Linux version is needed. I only added a few Alpha patches,
and I ported some stuff from 2.6-hlu (encaps and objdump - for building older
Linux kernels).

Can't help you there, I'm afraid. I don't know too much about this stuff
and I am busy enough as it is.

Anyway the 2.7 version I made compiles and runs on both the i386 and
alpha - in fact all my packages were made with it. There's no work
needed on it, it's already been "debianized".

Package: msqld
Version: 1.0.16-3

The msqld package installs the following directory:

    /var/lib/msql/.tmp

In fact this directory should live instead under:

    /var/lib/msql/msqldb/.tmp

The improper location prevents the server from completing some kinds of
queries, notably table joins.

Better would be to restructure the archive somehow and name things
correctly.  I 'm still think something like this would be better:

stable/       /admin
              /base
              /comm
              ...
stable-extra/ /contrib
              /non-free -> .../non-free
              /obsolete
              /experimental
              /and other names which don't fit in the above

unstable/       /admin
                /base
                /comm
              ...
unstable-extra/ /contrib
                /non-free -> .../non-free
                /obsolete
                /experimental
                /and other names which don't fit in the above
     
This will leave us two main entries for all the packages in a distribution.
The problem with stable and unstable non-free/contrib packages will
disappear (they will be included in the releases approach we are following).
non-free and contrib will get the same status as the other sections like
base, admin and comm &c.  This will make the structure far more consistent.

Sorry I noticed that it was rejected because of a bad checksum.
Currently uploading 1.0-7.

Debian-specific diffs were hard to produce under the old scheme of
things because of the strange way in which the upstream source was
packaged. The version of the X packages that I will release in the new
source packaging format ought to be a lot more usable.

I assume you don't use XFree86 itself on the m68k platforms, and you
just want to look at the packaging style?

Hi,

I have a lot of packages here which are, for some reason I don't know, on 
hold. I never did this intentionally, I think it happened when I was 
playing around with dselect a while back.

Anyways, now I want them to get of that 'On hold'-state. Is there a way 
that I can do this easily, and at the same time to get rid of those 
packages I have purged a long time ago, but are still in the database? (I 
know of -forget-old-unavail, does this do that?).

Maarten

I have debianized HJ's version 2.7.0.2 (in fact I just copied David's
debian.* files over) and it works fine without additional patching. If
anyone likes to take a look at it, it's on
ftp://feivel.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/debian.local/<source|binary-i386>/local

The problem appears to be that the z*grep wrappers don't handle 
arguments which have multiple tokens.  In other words, something like
'-i' works, but '-B 10' does not, since it can't distinguish that '10'
is part of the '-B' argument and not part of a pattern or filename.  If
you can skip the space, as in '-B10', all is well, but that's not a
good general solution.

I don't see any easy way to fix this, short of trying to replicate and
then track the options parser in grep.  I'll forward this on to the
upstream maintainer of gzip, since the script in question is part of
the upstream package.

2.7.0.3 includes an important patch for building large programs and
shared libraries.

First, it may be essential to "cd" to /dos/linux before running this.
I've seen chroot(2) change the root without changing the current
directory.

Second, anything done in a chroot context, as above, depends on all
of the context of a Linux system being in place under /dos/linux: the
shared libraries, the shell, etc. In this case it's not able to find
or execute the interpreter for the postrm script, which is
/dos/linux/bin/sh. This is going to be difficult if you just removed
some other essential packages.

I think a few people have tried to build a system from zero using dpkg.
That doesn't work because of the "bootstrap problem". If you have not
done so, you should install the boot-floppies package, and examine all
of the scripts in it. That will show you how the base system is created
and how you can modify the process.

	Thanks

	Bruce

I have been gawking at a file I built with 'dpkg -I' on all the packages
in rex/binary-i386, and have found some interesting stuff:

First, if I understand the policy manual, section and priority fields are
not "required". It is suggested that they would be helpful. There are a
small fraction of the total packages that have no section field. Users (as
well as some of us developers) can locate a package they need easier if
this field is included in the package.

With reguard to fields like provides, depends and their variants: There
are a fair number of packages that provide the field but leave it empty as
in: "Provides:". Now, I know that "nothing is better than asprin" but
"provides nothing" should probably not be something a package advertises
about itself. More seriously, I would be surprised if this causes dpkg any
real problems, but I can see where some other programs might have problems
with these constructs.

Noticed that recommended and recommends are both used in various packages.
I believe the correct designator is Recommends:
Should I publish the list, or submit bug reports?

Thanks,

Dwarf

I'm doing some development (experimenting) with debian, and when I try the
following:

dpkg --root=/dos/linux --purge --force-remove-essential e2fsprogs

I get the following errors:

Removing e2fsprogs ...
dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-removal script: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing e2fsprogs (--purge):
 subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2
dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: No such file or directory
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 e2fsprogs

I can do a 'chroot /dos/linux /var/lib/dpkg/info/e2fsprogs.postrm' without any
problems, so I can only assume that there is something wrong with the chroot
environment created by dpkg when it tries to execute the script.

Any ideas what may be going on? Should I file this as a bug report against
dpkg?

Ok, sounds good - any estimations on the release date of this repackaged
version? Do you want to wait for the stable 3.1.2 release first?

Well, I do - for a while our m68k X11 system was just a pile of .bin.tar.gz
archives plus large diffs, but Geert Uytterhoeven (m68k hacker) has joined
the XFree86 team some months ago, and the current XFree-3.1.2 beta releases
(where are we? -G?) contain m68k changes, and the binary distributions
also come with complete m68k binaries. We don't use the PC-ish VGA/SVGA etc.
drivers, but a different concept (the kernel based framebuffer device driver).
Anyway - 'our' X11 is also XFree86 now (although the m68k changes are
under a new directory which is nicely named 'xfree68'. :-)

Once you convert the XFree86 source tree to the new source format, adding
the architecture changes for m68k shouldn't be too hard, I think.

Hello,

I am building a package which will provide different binaries packages, and
tried to use a control file like:

Source: php
Section: net
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Yves Arrouye <arrouye@debian.org>
Standards-Version: 2.0.1.0

Package: php-module
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, apache (>= 1.1.1)
Description: a simple language interpreter for scripts embedded in HTML
  This package provides a PHP/FI module for the Apache server. PHP/FI
  provides a way to embed scripts in special HTML files (with the .phtml
  extension by default), and to have these scripts run when the files
  are accessed. The scripts can do a lot of things including producing
  images and accessing databases.
  .
  Features enabled in this module include DBM, mSQL and Postgres 95
  uses. There is no need for the corresponding libraries as the module
  is statically linked against them.

However, when I try to build, dpkg-gencontrol complains that my source
package has two different names: php and php-module. What I want to do is
to have php as source (because that's the name of the package, php-2.0b6)
and then build php-module, php-cgi, etc. How can I do that?

Thanks in advance,
Yves.

Package: gsfonts
Version: 4.01-2

Gs fonts are installed under usr/lib/ghostscript/4.01/fonts. There are two
problems with this:

  1. Fonts are machine independent files that should be shared (in /usr/share).

  2. Gs fonts are regular PostScript fonts, not tied to a given version of
     gs, so they should be under ghostscript/fonts, not ghostscript/4.01/fonts.

Package: gs
Version: 4.01-4

IMHO, it shouldn't: there's no reason why I have to get the GS fonts if I
have perfectly valid Adobe fonts installed on my machine! The gsfonts
package should be suggested (well, recommended for the naive user if you
prefer), not required.

Something that would be nice would be to have gs installed with a single
compiled-in font (see font2c) that would be the default, so that even 
without gsfonts or any other installed fonts, and of course without a
Fontmap (which would be provided by gsfonts), gs would work.

Could you (or somebody else on this list) point me to some text that
details this rule? My /usr/share is next to empty, while /usr/lib
contains _lot's_ of system-independand files (pgp, samba, texmf, zoneinfo,...).


I don't mean I don't like the idea of having arch indep stuff in /usr/share,
it's just that if I do it, I would like to follow the guidelines any other
standard.

OK, I'll move this. I done it because gs-3.53 (by default) puts it in
ghostscript/$VERSION/fonts, but if you (and someone else, too) prefers
them in ghostscript/fonts, I'll move them.

Thanks,

Package: Bootdisk ( Special-Kernels )
Version: Debian-1.1.8

I can't imagine this being a mirroring problem, so
this go directly to you:
every `modules.tgz` on the special-kernel bootdisks 
( Debian-1.1.8/disks-i386/special-kernels/boot1440_2.0.5-?.bin )
are truncated ( unexpected EOF ).
Because of this many modules are missing...

Hello Folks,
Hi Ray,

I'm trying to (re)package rpncalc under the new packaging scheme, but I'm 
having problems with dpkg-shlibs and/or the sonames.  Rpncalc needs the 
readline library to work, which it links with the name libreadline.so.2.0:

(david@eos) ~/C/rpncalc-1.1$ldd rpncalc
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5.0.5
        libreadline.so.2.0 => /lib/libreadline.so.2.0
        libncurses.so.3.0 => /lib/libncurses.so.3.0
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.2.18   

But dpkg-shlibs disagrees about the dependency information:
(david@eos) ~/C/rpncalc-1.1$dpkg-shlibdeps rpncalc
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unable to find dependency information for shared 
library libm (soname 5, path /lib/libm.so.5.0.5, dependency field Depends)
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unable to find dependency information for shared 
library libreadline (soname 2.0, path /lib/libreadline.so.2.0, dependency 
field Depend
s)  

(well the math library linking can be ignored)
If dpkg-shlibs looks into the package names, the point is clear: there is 
no
libreadline2.0-package:(david@eos) ~/C/rpncalc-1.1$dpkg -s libreadline2
Package: libreadline2
Status: install ok installed
Priority: required
Section: base
Maintainer: Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
Source: libreadline
Version: 2.0-15
Provides: libreadline
Depends: libc5 (>= 5.2.16-1), ncurses3.0 (>= 1.9.8a-1)
Conflicts: librl (<= 2.0.3-2), libreadline
Description: GNU readline and history libraries, runtime versions.    

Now: What should I do? I see 3 alternatives:
1) Recompile the libreadline package to provide the libreadline2.0 name,
2) link the rpncalc (somehow) against the libreadline2 library (but how?),
3) fool around with the shlibdeps.local file.

What is the right thing to do?

Thanks in advance for comments,
  David

PS: Debian GNU/Linux dpkg-shlibdeps 1.3.14.

Package: kernel-package
Version: 2.03           

I have kernel-source-2.0.6 installed (which patches cleanly with Linus'
patches for more recent kernels) and used to role my kernels with the scripts
from the kernel-source package, eg
	cd /usr/src/linux 
	make xconfig 
	./debian.rules kernel_image and therefore
 have a directory /usr/src/linux/debian with all the Debian control file for
the various targets.

Now I installed the newer kernel-package, and it fails! When I execute
	cd /usr/src/linux 
	make xconfig 
	make-kpkg --revision edd.1 kernel_image
it correctly infers that it has to start
	/usr/lib/kernel-package/debian/kernel.rules build
but this file because of the code tests 
	if [ -d "debian/" ]
which is true because of the directory from the old kernel-source-2.0.6
package. It then tries to execute
	 make -f /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.6/debian/kernel.rules  build
which fails because _this_ debian directory contains no kernel.rules file.

The following patch fixes this for me:

There are still a couple of typos and spelling mistakes all over
kernel-package, and the READMEs seem to be a wild mix of old and new ones. 

Also, does this really belong into the misc section?

Package: util-linux
Version: 2.5-6

util-linux does not install the whereis command from the utils. The
whereis command is used to find the location of a Unix command and is very
important.

Reviewing the source package I noted that a large number of other tools
are also not installed. What are the reason for this?

I wonder if it would be responsible of me to post the pattern that breaks
4.9.3-P1?  No, I guess not.  But the code is available and the pattern is
deducable from it.  If you aren't running 4.9.4-P1, you'll be sorry as soon
as the "2600" crowd, who is currently teaching 13 year old kids how to spam
y'all with SYN storms, gets around to looking at the BIND source.

And when you see 4.9.5-REL come out, you'd all best switch to it, since it
will _also_ fix critical things that I've found in 4.9.4-P1.  Don't delay,
trust that testing has been done.  The 4.9.4-P1 thing with COM\20...COM is
just too exact a hit on the hashing bug to be anything other than intentional.
That means someone looked at the diffs from 4.9.4 to 4.9.4-P1 and figured out
what got fixed and designed an attack on 4.9.4.

This in turn probably means that I should let CERT do all of BIND's release
engineering from now on, to get the vendors ready with patches before the new
source code is available.  Sigh.  I guess I need to have everybody on the
bind-workers mailing list sign an NDA.  Double sigh.

That's true. I'll give it a try. I believe GNU chroot does not change the
current directory.

The sh and perl executables are both present, so I think it's more likely
something to do with what you said above.

Actually, I untar'red the base system to /dos/linux, and I'm just trying to
remove a few unnecessary packages which aren't needed in an extremely stripped
down system running from umsdos.

Thanks for the help.

I just finished converting the pine package over to the new source format
and had no trouble. However the packages I built were pine, pico, and
imapd. I suspect that at least one package in the group must have the name
of the source, although the rational for such a thing escapes me. Can you
name at least one of the packages the same as the source?

No, I think what the message indicates, is that it is looking for the
dependency information (I suspect in the default file for shlibdeps) and
can't find what it needs. I believe that the default file only has libc5,
ncurses and some xlib things. You will need to add the desired dependency
information to /etc/dpkg/shlibs.default if I am not mistaken.

Luck,
