Ok, so the main focus here is to get the packages which are compiled with ALSA to compile without ALSA or with OSS instead on kbsd (and hurd probably, too). > > Some smaller issues I noticed only happening on kfreebsd, but haven't > > tracked them down (probably no bug report yet either, partially also > > affects servers): > > > > * Emacs 23 via remote X doesn't work.

So we'd better not aware of it? Or did I just misunderstand that sentence? I think the problem is that there's not yet a proper bug report (besides the bugs itself being a problem, too :-). > [...] aptitude works perfectly on my machine since the crash issue > has been fixed. Do you use it just on the commandline (e.g. "aptitude safe-upgrade" or in interactive (text-mode/[n]curses interface) mode (e.g. "aptitude -u")? I only get these segfaults during interactive mode (which is 90% of my aptitude usage on machines running sid), mostly during either package list or package download. > Regards, Axel -- ,''`. | Axel Beckert <a...@debian.org>, http://people.debian.org/~abe/ : :' : | Debian Developer, ftp.ch.debian.org Admin `. `' | 1024D: F067 EA27 26B9 C3FC 1486 202E C09E 1D89 9593 0EDE `- | 4096R: 2517 B724 C5F6 CA99 5329 6E61 2FF9 CD59 6126 16B5 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
