Bug#1840: ncftp problems

1995-11-11 Thread Chris Fearnley
Package: ncftp Version: 2.1.0 It is very easy to confuse ncftp into refusing to allow ^Z to suspend the process. One way I have done this follows (hard to represent visual mode, sorry): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ncftp o ftp.debian.org cd /debian/debian-1.0/source Now ^Z won't suspend the session

Bug#1847: xterm and TERM=linux

1995-11-11 Thread Bill Mitchell
package: xbase (?) version: 3.1.2-4 I don't know if this is a real bug, but it drives me buggy. The O'Reilly X Windows SA Guide for X11 r4 and r5 (I don't have one for r6) says: Setting the terminal type, however, is not required for xterm windows. The xterm client has its own way of

Bug#1849: includes,source do not conflict

1995-11-11 Thread Bruce Perens
includes should conflict with source It used to be that way, but it unfortunately was a _tremendous_ pain in the neck. The problem is that dpkg won't let you replace includes with source without first removing _every_package_ that depends on them. This means you have to remove the

New a.out/ELF development packages

1995-11-11 Thread David Engel
Please note that I'm only announcing this on debian-devel as I expect we'll probably want to tweak a few things before normal users actually get their hands on these. I've uploaded the first cut at the new a.out and ELF development packages to ftp.debian.org. Only the binary (.deb) and diff
