Bug#1050463: RFP: picosnitch -- monitor network traffic per executable

2023-08-24 Thread Andrew T
Package: picosnitch
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: picosnitch
  Version : 0.14.1
  Upstream Author : Eric Lesiuta
* URL : https://github.com/elesiuta/picosnitch
* License : GPL-3
  Programming Lang: Python (BPF)
  Description : monitor network traffic per executable

Picosnitch is a per application bandwidth monitor which notifies users when new 
apps make internet connections, or when the hash of an application has changed 
since its last connection.

It has a terminal based UI for browsing and filtering traffic history on: time, 
executable, sha256, parent of the executable, uid, local/remote ports, 
local/remote addresses, or domain.

There is also an optional GUI for viewing bandwidth graphs using plotly dash 
(https://pypi.org/project/dash/) which needs to be installed separately with 
pip or pipx. It would be nice if this could be packaged in Debian as well.



Bug#779382: parted: sometimes fails to align new partitions correctly

2015-02-27 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: parted
Version: 2.3-12
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

While using a script to partition a new disk, I found that parted
sometimes starts a new partition 1 sector past the expected position.

Here are the lines from the script that exercise parted, and some
comments and additional information:
--- Begin script and parted output --

Notice that partitions 7 and 9 begin on an odd-numbered sector!

It appears that parted added 1 *twice* to the last sector in partition 6:

200859647 +1 = 200859648 ; and

factor 200859648
200859648: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 11 743

So 200859648 would have been a good place to start the next partition.


Similarly, for partition 9:

factor 249688064
249688064: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 47 1297


A curious feature of this bug is that parted returned 0 after reporting
this mis-alignment, either with no alignment option, or with -a opt .
However, it *does* produce an error return with -a min .

Bug#678436: pngcrush dumps core if you try to insert more than 2 text chunks

2012-06-21 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: pngcrush

You can insert two text chunks OK; but if you try the command

pngcrush  -text b Author 'Andrew T. Young' -text b Title \
P0046.png  -text b Description fails  P0046.png pngout.png

then pngcrush immediately dumps core, instead of writing the desired
output PNG file.  (The input file P0046.png is OK; I've had this problem
with many different files.)

The man page says up to 10 text chunks can be added.  I guess whoever
wrote that was thinking in binary

Bug#626105: mount: misleading error message if kernel lacks ext4 module

2011-05-08 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: mount
Version: 2.17.2-9
Severity: normal


I thought it would be nice to upgrade from ext3 to ext4 when I copied my
old system to a new disk, but the cloned system failed to boot, claiming
No such device when it tried to mount the root partition.

In fact, inspection of the filesystem with the busybox shell showed that
the required partition existed, along with the symbolic links in the
/dev/disk/by-label, /dev/disk/by-uuid, and related subdirectories.

After much searching, I discovered the problem discussed at

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2009/07/msg00864.html

and was able to fix it by adding the ext4 module to
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules and running update-initramfs -u -v -t in
a chroot jail with the appropriate partitions and pseudo-filesystems
mounted.

Much time and effort could have been saved if mount had said
something like Can't mount ext4 filesystems instead of giving a
bogus error message.  As the expected type was clearly indicated with a
rootfstype=ext4 option on the kernel command line, mount had no excuse
for giving a misleading error message.

If this is too hard to fix, a more general error message such as mount
can't mount /dev/xxx would have been less misleading.

Bug#518258: more on the dangling symlinks problem

2011-03-10 Thread Andrew T. Young
This is essentially the same problem described in bug #452127 -- which
also cites bugs 419052, 437674, and 440142.  The last two are the most
informative.

Although 440142 claims the problem was fixed with a corrected file
ttf-dejavu-extra.defoma-hints in the ttf-dejavu-extra package, it
appears that there is currently *no* defoma hintfile in any of the
ttf-dejavu* packages.  This may be what's needed to get the links
installed correctly.

Bug#612685: gnome-desktop-environment depends on gnome-bluetooth ???

2011-02-09 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: gnome-desktop-environment
Severity: normal


After the recent upgrade, I found the machine infested with bluez and
various bluetooth libraries.  I believe this is a side-effect of the
decision to drag in everything under Recommends:.  In my case, I
had a few pieces of an old gnome desktop setup; and I suspect that one
of those pieces initiated a cascade of dependencies that caused the
bluetooth stuff to be installed automatically.

I have cleaned out most of the offending packages.  But it seems absurd
to me that gnome-desktop-environment *depends* on gnome-bluetooth.
You ought to at least check to see whether the necessary hardware is
present before installing such stuff.

This 10-year-old Pentium III box certainly does not have bluetooth
hardware in it.  I should add that (believing that computers should be
seen and not heard) I have no sound enabled, and no speakers.

Bug#577481: fftw-docs: tests in examples subdir fail many tests

2010-04-11 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: fftw-docs
Version: 2.1.3-22
Severity: normal


I ran make in the tests directory to generate the testing programs.
(Note that the executables are names test_fftw and not fftw_test as
the documentation says; this should be changed to make things agree.)

test_fftw -v -p 0 passed the planning test; but everything else failed.

test_fftw -v -a 0   gave FATAL ERROR: test_out_of_place: wrong answer
(with howmany = 2)

test_fftw -v -c 1x1 failed with a segmentation fault

test_fftw -v -r 0   failed with NaN in answer for n = 1144, dir = forward
test_fftw -v -r 1   failed with NaN in answer for N = 4032

test_fftw -v -s 1   says that glibc's malloc() gave memory corruption


This is an AMD Athlon machine.  Apparently the fftw libraries optimized
for the k7 architecture are no longer available (again, in disagreement
with the documentation the recommends them.)

Despite these test failures, a program I compiled a few years ago that
uses the fftw libraries seems to work OK.  Maybe this has to do with the
newer compiler in use, which is now gcc-4.3?

Here's what I have (output from aptitude search fftw):

Bug#543997: texlive-publishers: obsolete (2006) versions of osa LaTeX stuff

2009-08-27 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: texlive-publishers
Version: 2007.dfsg.17-1~lenny01
Severity: normal


The Optical Society of America has newer versions of its LaTeX package
available as a *.tar file at

http://www.opticsinfobase.org/oe/submit/templates/default.cfm

The new files are called osajnl2.sty, etc.  Please update the Debian
package.

-- Package-specific info:
If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries 
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of
other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!

If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at

http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini-en.html (english)

or

Bug#542277: grub: fails to find configfile on hard disk

2009-08-18 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: grub
Version: 0.97-47lenny2
Severity: normal


Grub (legacy) installs with no errors, either using grub-install
or from the grub-shell prompt (using the root and setup commands).
However, the resulting system fails to boot normally from the hard disk:
instead of showing the menu, it drops into the grub prompt.

Experimentation shows that it suffices to enter

configfile  /grub/menu.lst

at the grub prompt to make the menu appear.  Booting then proceeds
normally.  [Note that I have a separate /boot partition.]

Oddly, the grub2 version on the floppy produced by the grub-rescue-pc
package *finds* the configfile and boots normally.  However, I can't
install grub2 or grub-pc because it takes too much space on the small
/boot partition.

As I'm not happy with having to boot from a floppy disk, I guess it's back
to LILO.

Bug#535517: gimp: Gimp fails to execute dbus-launch

2009-07-02 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: gimp
Version: 2.4.7-1
Severity: normal


When Gimp starts, it prints an error message complaining that it Failed
to execute dbus-launch   As dbus-launch is in the package dbus-x11,
and installing that package makes the error message disappear, I think
Gimp should have dbus-x11 in its Depends list.

This is a problem with several other packages; see bugs 480486, 497401,
514108, etc.

Note that there are some bugs filed against dbus-x11, so it may not be a
reliable fix until that package is cleaner.

Bug#475489: libtiff-tools: tiffinfo segfaults on Nikon NEF files

2008-04-10 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: libtiff-tools
Version: 3.8.2-7
Severity: normal


Nikon cameras produce a special TIFF format for raw images that Nikon
calls *.NEF files.  The file utility identifies them as tiffs,
and I would expect the tiff tools to handle them reasonably well.

I have some NEF files sent to me by the user of a Nikon D300, which
is a high-end, professional-quality camera.  Some of the images can
be decoded correctly, and some (those larger than about 20MB) can't.
While trying to identify that problem, I discovered that even the NEF
files that can be displayed by ufraw and other image utilities cause
tiffinfo to segfault.  Curiously, tiffdump managed to slog through them
with no serious problems; so I assume that either the problem is some
error in tiffinfo, or that tiffinfo calls some library routine that
tiffdump does not (in which case the bug probably belongs to libtiff4).

Here's the screen output from tiffinfo for a typical example:

$ tiffinfo *1984*F

-- in spite of which, it displays the image correctly.  (This same warning
appears in the log for the images that don't display correctly, so it may
be irrelevant.)


The smallest file I have that shows this problem is about 18MB in size,
and I'd need to get the photographer's permission to post a sample on
a website.  I'll mail you a file if you like; please consider that I'm
on a modem so it will take about an hour to send one of these images
anywhere

Bug#457882: findutils: setting LOCALUSER in /etc/cron.daily/find has no effect

2007-12-26 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: findutils
Version: 4.2.28-1
Severity: normal


The lines

LOCALUSER=nobody
export LOCALUSER

in  /etc/cron.daily/find  have no effect, because  ubdatedb  gets the
value set in  /etc/updatedb.conf  instead.

You could either test in updatedb.conf to see whether this environmental
parameter has been set, or omit the export and instead use an option
--localuser=$LOCALUSER  for the  updatedb  command in /etc/cron.daily/find
(because the command-line option will override the environmental
variable).

Clearly there's a policy issue here: which of these configuration files
should take precedence?

These symbol-table files belong to libc6-i686, so I assume that's where
the problem is.  Another possibility might be that valgrind is expecting
the symbol tables from the regular (un-optimized for i686) libraries.

I re-installed the libc6-i686 package and got the same messages, so I
don't think this is a file-corruption issue.

Bug#371870: xprint: all printer entries in mozilla are gone

2007-04-20 Thread Andrew T. Young
Isn't the problem here that all the xprint stuff was removed from iceape?
(See the discussion in bug report 301649 about this.  If that's the
reason, I suppose this bug should be re-filed against the mozilla
transition package, for failing to add the printers to the proper
configuration files for iceape.

I have the same problem since upgrading from sarge to etch.  I have
searched the mozilla directories without success to try to find how to add
printers manually.  Maybe somebody who understands the inner workings of
this system can figure out how to add printers to the browser.  It would
be *nice* if this were available as part of the edit preferences
dialogs.

Bug#408342: xpdf-utils: pdftops gets wrong glyphs

2007-01-24 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: xpdf-utils
Version: 3.00-13.6
Severity: normal


The file at  http://ieg.or.kr:8080/abstractII/G0102513003.PDF  is
displayed correctly by xpdf on the monitor, but prints with Courier
glyphs instead of the correct embedded fonts.  The trouble appears to be
in pdftops, as the PostScript file generated by xpdf's print to file
menu item also displays the wrong glyphs when viewed with gv.

Acroread prints the document correctly, so I don't think the original
PDF file is bad.

Bug#274943: dirvish-expire

2006-07-12 Thread Andrew T Sydelko

I had the same problem with dirvish-expire not expiring anything
and reverting the following change fixed it:

-for $expire (sort(imsort @expires))
+for $expire (sort(imsort(@expires)))

The command when run with the extra () just says:

athlon:/etc/dirvish# /usr/sbin/dirvish-expire
Expiring images as of 2006-07-12 22:10:07

VAULT:BRANCHIMAGE   CREATED   EXPIRED
cannot expire :: No unexpired good images

It also returns with a non-zero status and therefore the
cronjob does not start off the dirvish for that night.

Bug#359766: tth: errors in ps2png script

2006-03-28 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: tth
Version: 2.92-1
Severity: normal


There are some things that should be fixed in the ps2png script
distributed with tth:

1.  The gif strings in the Usage: line should be replaced with
png.

2.  The comment in line 10 that says no cropping is not correct.

3.  The redirection of output in the line below the Make an icon file
comment is not in agreement with the Usage: message and the man page.
As it stands, it will overwrite the input file.  I believe this should
be redirected to $3, not $1.

Make sure this does not break some other part of the tth package that
calls this script.

The man page says that you can feed a file to

pnmgamma -cieramp -ungamma 

to convert it back to linear intensities.  But when I try this, I get
the message:

Invalid gamma value.  Must be a positive floating point number

The file is a pgm file; but supposedly that should still work, right?

Bug#335064: xbase-clients: mkfontscale installs faulty fonts.scale for ttf-bitstream-vera pkg.

2005-10-21 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1
Severity: important


After installing the ttf-bitstream-vera font package,
I find that X gives a could not init fontpath element
error message for the TrueType fonts.  This appears to be
caused by faulty fonts.dir and fonts.scale files created in
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType directory; they have
blanks instead of underscores in the XLFDs for the Bitstream fonts.
The blanks make X barf when it tries to set up these fonts.

I have inspected the defoma hintfile installed with the Bitstream
package.  It gives the font families as Bitstream-Vera-Sans,
Bitstream-Vera-Serif, etc., which is (I think) reasonable.
Probably the problem could be avoided for *this* font by changing
the hyphens to underscores; but it seems to me the X utilities
ought to be written to handle such cases gracefully, rather than
making everybody who packages a font worry about replacing (normal)
hyphens with (ugly) underscores in the defoma hintfiles.  That's why
I'm filing this bug against xutils (which provides mkfontdir)
and xbase-clients (the package that provides mkfontscale).

It may turn out that both these programs use some common xlib
function to parse fontnames and font-family names, in which case
this bug should be reassigned to the appropriate package.

Note, by the way, that defoma's Defoma::Id module correctly
handles these fonts, installing XLFD names with underscores in the
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/id-cache file.

A further complication is that Bug 219854 says that TrueType fonts
should be using mkttfdir rather than mkfontdir, and that a bug
report should be filed against font packages that violate this.
This is evidently the case with the Bitstream font package; I see my
system doesn't even have the fttools package installed, which should
have been a dependency of the font package if it had used mkttfdir.
It remains to be seen whether mkttfdir handles font-family names
containing hyphens correctly

Bug#334764: type1inst creates Fontmap and fonts.scale with 755 permissions

2005-10-19 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: type1inst
Version: 0.6.1-4
Severity: minor


Though it doesn't affect normal use, I'm a little nervous about the
creation of root-owned files with execute permissions.  It seems to me
these files should have 644 rather than 755 permissions.

If somehow a malicious user could overwrite these files with a script,we
could have a potential security problem here.

I'd suggest changing the system commands that start out chmod 755
... to chmod 644 ... instead.  Is there any reason for having execute
permission on these files?  I can't see one.

Bug#332875: Errors in /usr/doc/gs-common/README.Debian

2005-10-08 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: gs-common
Version: 0.3.7
Severity: minor


There are several typos and unclear sections in the README.Debian file.

The most harmful is probably the typo in line 52, which has --Suape
instead of --Shape.  (This will be obvious to people who have some
familiarity with defoma; but there will be some people who are not, and
will just copy the typo and wonder why it doesn't work.)

I suppose gsfontderivatice in line 20 means something like
gs-font-derived or gs-font related???  (I see the term
gsfontderivative in line 60, but it seems awkward to me.)

In the next line, registered should be registers.

In line 22, top should probably be front.  And I'd add the before
postscript.

Line 26: I'd add the before the *second* occurrence of CMap.

Line 38: for propotional widthed, put proportionally-spaced (don't
forget to insert the missing r).

In line 60, the word Substance seems peculiar; what's meant here?
I suppose the word substantial in line 62 means existing?  Could
this part be re-written a little more clearly?

If I understood how defoma works, maybe I could suggest better
wordings

Bug#332371: ucbmpeg-play: mpeg_play loops indefinitely at end of *.mpg made by ffmpeg

2005-10-05 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: ucbmpeg-play
Version: 2.3p-12
Severity: normal


When I make a movie with ffmpeg, it plays fine in both xine and ffplay.
But if I try to play it with mpeg_play, there is an infinite loop of
error messages like this:


Improper or missing sequence end code.

Real Time Spent (After Initializations): 7.933807 secs.
Avg. Frames/Sec: 50.165072

Improper or missing sequence end code.

Real Time Spent (After Initializations): 7.933807 secs.
Avg. Frames/Sec: 50.165072
Error

Improper or missing sequence end code.

Real Time Spent (After Initializations): 7.933807 secs.
Avg. Frames/Sec: 50.165072

Improper or missing sequence end code.

Real Time Spent (After Initializations): 7.933807 secs.
Avg. Frames/Sec: 50.165072

That line that says Error!!! turns up about every 6th set of error
messages.

Curiously enough, this seems to occur only on my AMD Athlon box.
On the Pentium III, I just get the error message once.  This suggests
that the infinite loop might be connected with the re-ordering of actual
instructions that occurs in the Athlon core.

Even though the mpeg_play man page warns about the bogus error message,
I suspect the *.mpg file is actually OK, and that the trouble is
in mpeg_play instead.  In any case, the infinite loop is definitely
user-unfriendly, as it scrolls potentially informative information off
the screen before you can kill it.

Bug#330817: clarification of gimp problem

2005-10-01 Thread Andrew T. Young
I figured out what happened: when I asked Gimp to do a Save As,
it popped up a small window, proposing to save the file in the /cdrom
directory the original TIF had been read from.  When I asked to select
a different directory, that window expanded to show a file-tree listing.

When I asked to save it by file extension PNG, that enlarged the window
*again* to offer a menu of extensions, pushing the bottom of it off the
bottom of my screen.  But this put the progress bar well off the screen.

So, after telling Gimp to save the file, I waited the few seconds that
I thought should be enough, and exited from the Gimp.  Unfortunately,
this big file was only partly written; Gimp takes about a minute to
write the 11-MB PNG version, I find.

When I told it to Quit, it didn't object that the file was only partly
written; as it objects when there are changes to be saved, I figured
all was well, and only discovered the corrupt (i.e., incomplete) file
when I tried to use it later.

The problem here is twofold: (1) Gimp let the progress bar be pushed
off the visible area of the screen; and (2) it didn't complain (as I
had expected it would have) when I asked it to quite before the file
was completely written.

I'd call this a user-interface problem.  You probably consider it a
stupid-user problem.  Anyway, I now see what the problem is; and it is
indeed a consequence of the file being so big.

Bug#330817: gimp-2.2 fails to convert TIF tp PNG correctly

2005-09-29 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: gimp
Version: 2.2.6-1
Severity: normal


Ordinarily, I can read a file in one format and ask Gimp to write it
out as a PNG, and it works.  But today, I had a couple of TIF files
that Gimp read and displayed correctly; but when it wrote PNG versions,
I found they were somehow corrupted.

Trying to read them with identify gives a

Corrupt image

error message.  And the problem isn't with identify, either; pngcrush
refuses to process the supposed PNG files produced by Gimp 2.2.

I was able to convert the files from TIF to PNG by using anytopnm
and then pnmtopng; so the original files are OK.

This box is a 1400 MHz Athlon, if that's relevant.  Just did an
aptitude dist-upgrade this morning, so everything's current.

Bug#327170: xpdf-reader: Always fails to allocate fonts on first try

2005-09-07 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: xpdf-reader
Version: 3.00-13
Severity: normal


Since the upgrade to sarge, I find that xpdf always fails on the first
try with a message like:

X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
  Serial number of failed request:  455
  Current serial number in output stream:  456

But then if I just re-issue the *same* command line, it works.

On Googling for the error message, I came upon Debian Bug #238100, in
which Branden Robinson said:

Any app that doesn't fall back to doing video via the MIT-SHM extension
rather than XVideo should probably have a bug filed against it.

[That was in response to another package that provoked a similar
message.]  (That's why I'm reporting the bug as due to xpdf rather than
the X server; no other programs are producing it.)

Let me also point out

http://www.xfree86.org/current/isc8.html

where there is a comment (again about a similar X error message) that

You also should increase MAXUMEM to its maximum, else programs
may die with ... [a BadAlloc error]

and suggests tuning kernel parameters with something called xf86install,
which I don't seem to have.

If this is a configuration problem, I'd appreciate a pointer on how to
fix it.  I'm sending this from an AMD Athlon box, but the same problem
exists on a P III box with similar software.

Bug#324218: mozilla-browser: renders Q tags incorrectly

2005-08-20 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: mozilla-browser
Version: 2:1.7.8-1sarge1
Severity: normal


According to the W3C, Q and /Q tags are supposed to delimit short
in-line quotations, using the appropriate left- and right- quote
punctuation marks (see

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#edef-Q

for the official description).  Unfortunately, the example they offer
is misleading, as it uses a ``typewriter'' font in which both left and
right double-quotes are represented by the same  character -- which
is what mozilla is using.

The W3C text above the rendering example says:

User agents should render quotation marks in a language-sensitive manner
(see the lang attribute). Many languages adopt different quotation
styles for outer and inner (nested) quotations, which should be
respected by user-agents.

... and their example emphasizes the alternation of single and double
quotes, for cases where there are quotes-within-quotes.

However, it's equally important (and ``language-sensitive'') to use the
correct left- and right- double-quote and single-quote characters.
The double-quote marks are listed in the HTML 4.01 Entity Table
as  ldquo;  and  rdquo; respectively.  And in fact, mozilla *does*
render these entities correctly, as nice curly quote-marks, not little
accent-marks or primes.

This matter is discussed in several Web pages, such as:

http://www.saila.com/attic/sandbox/quotes.html
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/quotes.html
http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/quotes-in-html.html
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-doc/2003-March/06.html

and it's also well discussed down toward the end of the classical
article

http://www.alistapart.com/articles/emen/

Inasmuch as the browser already has to keep track of the opening and
closing of quotations, to determine where a quoted-quotation begins and
ends, the information should already be available to place opening ``
and closing '' double [and single, presumably] quotation marks in the
appropriate places.

The only tricky thing is the language-sensitive part, I think.

Bug#221258: kdar package updates

2005-08-10 Thread Andrew T. Bennett
I have attempted to contact Roman Kreisel regarding the status of the kdar 
package, but have been unsuccessful.

The newest upstream release of KDar (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdar/) is 
2.0.6, while the Kalyxo project's package is still at 2.0.4-1.  I've made a 
few minor improvements to the package and have the source and binary files 
(for i386) available at...

  deb http://potatosalad.gotdns.com/debian/ unstable main
  deb-src http://potatosalad.gotdns.com/debian/ unstable main

Specific files for 2.0.6-1...
  [binary_i386] 
http://potatosalad.gotdns.com/debian/pool/main/k/kdar/kdar_2.0.6-1_i386.deb
  [source] 
http://potatosalad.gotdns.com/debian/pool/main/k/kdar/kdar_2.0.6-1.dsc

Anyway, just curious about the status of the package and whether someone has 
already done what I've done (probably much better).

Thanks

2005-07-01 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: psfontmgr
Version: 0.11.8-0.1
Severity: normal


The script defoma-psfont-installer looks for the recommended PPD file
*only* in the current working directory.  It should look first in
/usr/share/postscript/ppd/ -- the standard place for PPD files.

Looking only in $PWD encourages people to put *.ppd files in
non-standard directories.

Bug#316320: many wrong entries in gsfonts.hints

2005-06-29 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: gsfonts
Version: 8.14+v8.11+urw-0.2
Severity: normal


The file  /etc/defoma/hints/gsfonts.hints  distributed with sarge
appears to have been generated by the  defoma-hints  script.  But the
resulting hint-file requires a lot of correction to be useful.

There are several problems:

1. The font  /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/a010013l.afm  is assigned

FontNameURWGothicL-Book
Family  URW_Gothic_L
GeneralFamily   Gothic
Weight  Book

but the instructions in /usr/share/doc/defoma-doc/developers.html/ch1.html
say to assign a PostScript-like font name.  The PostScript name for the
corresponding PS font (ITC Avant Garde Gothic Book) is AvantGarde-Book.

Clearly the FontName assigned is acceptable, as it isn't the original
ITC font.  But the Family should be AvantGarde_Gothic, or maybe
Avant_Garde_Gothic (using the defoma convention of replacing spaces
with underscores).  I have tried using *both*

  Family = URW_Gothic_L
  Family = Avant_Garde_Gothic

in the hintfile, and it appears that this just makes 2 different entries
for the font; but maybe this can cause problems.

Similarly, the GeneralFamily should be SansSerif.  Note that the doc
file cited above says: The values of this HintType for alphabetical
fonts are Roman, SansSerif, Typewriter and Script. The values for
CJK hieroglyphs are Mincho, Gothic and Maru.  This seems to reserve
Gothic for CJK fonts.  [Note that this is an incorrect use of the
term hieroglyphs; it should just be glyphs.]

In any case, the term Gothic is used very ambiguously by typographers,
and is used differently in England and in North America: on the one
hand, it's used to mean the group of typefaces formerly used to print
German (also known as Blackletter and Fraktur); on the other hand,
it's used (as ITC did) to indicate a square-cut sans-serif typeface
according to numerous dictionaries.  We would be better off avoiding
this troublesome term entirely; but I suppose if it is used to identify
a class of CJK fonts, it may cause minimal confusion.

I also think it would be useful to add:

  Alias = AvantGarde-Book

to the hintfile.  This makes the actual PostScript name of the font
available to applications.

2. Likewise, this same font is assigned

Weight = Book

which is nonsense; it ought to be Medium.  For the font  URWGothicL-Demi
in  /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/a010015l.afm  we find

Weight = Demi

which ought to be bold.  And the Zapf Dingbats are assigned

Weight = Regular

which ought to be Medium.


It's clear that these difficulties are mostly a result of mechanically
decomposing the font name in the defoma-hints script, which isn't very
clever.  It provides a promising beginning, but cannot be used without
some hand-editing.


3. A disturbing consequence of the lack of real PostScript fontnames in
the gsfonts.hints file is the disappearance of such familiar names as
Times from the font-selection menu in mozilla.  By judiciously adding real
PostScript names as aliases , it's possible to get Times back in the list
(though I have not yet managed to get Palatino there.)  I believe some
of the difficulty is due to fontconfig.  There are so many pieces to the
font puzzle that several rounds of tidying-up are probably required to
make it all work smoothly.

The configuration file  /etc/defoma/loc-cset.data  contains the names of
languages, used by defoma for the Location property in hints files.
Some of the language names are spelled incorrectly, and will cause

Romania should be   Romanian

Bug#315682: defoma: many hintfiles lack Location and even FontName

2005-06-24 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: defoma
Version: 0.11.8-0.1
Severity: important


In the ch3.html file in /usr/share/doc/defoma-doc/defoma-script.html,
it says:


On register command, the hints must be parsed to pick out Location
and FontName hints.  parse_hints_start() is used for this purpose.
This function converts hints stored in an array to a hash.  For more
detail, please refer the manpage of Defoma::Common.

If these necessary HintTypes, Location and FontName are not found,
the script returns non-zero to tell defoma that the script failed to
register the font.


However, many of the hintfiles installed automatically have no Location
entries, and some even lack FontName.  In particular, the defoma-ps.hints
file installed by  /usr/bin/defoma-psfont-installer from a PPD file has
neither FontName nor Location entries.

I had to add Location manually to gsfonts.hints, gsfonts-other.hints,
and scalable-cyrfonts.hints.  I also see that xfree86-nonfree-type1.hints
lacks Location lines.

Bug#251067: printing problems

2005-06-21 Thread Andrew T. Young
I recently upgraded two woody boxes to sarge, and got the printing
problem on one but not the other.  The box with the printing problem
has the msttcorefonts installed; the one without them seems to be OK.
(This appears to confirm the brief mention of this connection in earlier
reports.)

There are some strange features of the problem here.  The Debian home
page prints all the Latin text in a sans-serif font similar to Helvetica.
The body type is spaced correctly; but the headings (AboutDebian, etc.),
as well as the sidebar and the Select a server near you at the upper
right, are printed without spaces.

The footer (This page is also available in the following languages)
has further peculiarities.  All the non-Latin scripts print correctly;
but the ones using Cyrillic fonts (Bulgarian, Russian, and Ukainian)
are spaced-out, with each character taking up 2 character cells in
the printout, just as they used to appear on screen in woody.  On the
other hand, the Latin-font names of the Oriental languages (Hangul and
Nihongo) are spaced correctly in the printout, but appear spaced-out
on-screen!

As has been reported elsewhere, the PostScript generated seems to be
faulty; but I wonder if that's the fault of Xprint or mozilla, or if it
is a bug in the font system.  With sarge, we now have fontconfig, which
was missing in woody; and fontconfig plays a part in matching up fonts,
doesn't it?

I'll try removing the MS core fonts from this box and see if that helps.

Bug#251067: mozilla/xprint problem

2005-06-21 Thread Andrew T. Young
Removing the msttcorefonts package with

aptitude purge msttcorefonts

did just about *nothing*.  The only change was that I now see a different
font used to print Arabic script.  (This suggests that the MS font
package may not be very useful, after all.)

Just to be on the safe side, I tried running  fc-cache  and
defoma-app update fontconfig  to make sure all the font databases were
synchronized after the removal, rebooting in between these steps to 
make sure I had a clean setup each time.

It appears that the MS font issue is a false lead.

The problem with spaces suggests that the font mixup involves fonts with
different encodings.  If SPACE were replaced with some non-printing
character, you might get the runtogether text.  Just a thought.

Bug#315352: documentation: please add links to make it easier to locate

2005-06-21 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: fontconfig
Version: 2.3.1-2
Severity: wishlist


/usr/share/doc/fontconfig has a nice html manual, but it doesn't come up
when you ask dhelp.  Adding an entry in the appropriate directory
would be useful.

Likewise, man fontconfig produces nothing.  You have to know enough
about the system to ask for man fonts.conf, which is not at all
obvious.  Please add a symbolic link, to bring up the fonts.conf man
page when a user asks for man fontconfig.

Bug#310664: imagemagick: convert ignores flags to turn off antialiasing

2005-05-24 Thread Andrew T . Young
Package: imagemagick
Version: 4:5.4.4.5-1woody6
Severity: normal


The ImageMagick program convert refuses to stop using antialiasing in
converting *.eps files.  I assume it creates the wrong set of options to
gs.

The HTML docs are not clearly worded, but it seems that either -antialias
or +antialias should turn off antialiasing.  Neither one does.

The docs also say:

Use +dither to turn off dithering and to render Postscript without
text or graphic aliasing.

which sounds crazy.  It doesn't work either.  I always get PS files
interpreted with full antialiasing.

Bug#309215: netpbm: pnmrotate allocates hundreds of MB of memory

2005-05-15 Thread Andrew T . Young
Package: netpbm
Version: 2:9.25-9.backports.org.1
Severity: normal

When trying to rotate a 5388x2352 image through a small angle, I found
that pnmrotate was consuming vast amounts of memory: all of the 256 MB
of core, plus about another 400 MB of swap space.  Because of all the
swapping, many minutes are needed to rotate the image.  The machine is
not heavily loaded; I'm the only user.

I can rotate the same image using ImageMagick's mogrify command (which
supposedly uses the same algorithm) in a reasonable amount of space
(and time).

A glance at the source code for pnmrotate shows nothing obviously wrong.
Maybe it's a problem in some netpbm library?

Bug#296219: mozilla fragment-display bug

2005-05-03 Thread Andrew T. Young
I've now encountered this bug again on another page, and have a little
understanding of what's happening.

Apparently, mozilla is trying to format the text and determine where the
fragment reference occurs *before* it has loaded images.  If the HTML
on the loaded page does *not* specify the width and height attributes
of an image, mozilla allows some default space (probably zero?) for it
and goes on.  Its estimate of where the fragment anchor will be on the
page is then earlier in the final display than the proper location.

If you ask it to reload the page after the images have been loaded,
mozilla now knows how big the images are, and allows the proper space
for them; so it finds the correct location for the fragment reference.

Specifying width=*** and height=*** attributes (giving the correct
dimensions for the images -- which are easily determined by using the
identify command from the ImageMagick package) allows mozilla to
allocate the correct amount of space for the images as it loads the text.
Then the fragment reference will go to the correct place in the page as
it loads.

The correct behavior for mozilla would be to wait until it has loaded an
image file to determine the space to allow for the image, rather than
to go ahead and load pages and assume some (incorrect) default size.
This deferral need only occur when a link refers to a fragment rather than
a whole page.  It seems to me there's some obscure configuration setting
that affects this, but I can't seem to find it.  Given the difficulty of
configuring mozilla's preferences, I think the observed behavior should
be considered a bug rather than a feature.

Bug#304961: netpbm: error in pnmtops man page

2005-04-16 Thread Andrew T . Young
Package: netpbm
Version: 2:9.25-9.backports.org.1
Severity: normal

The man page for pnmtops says that the  -nocenter  option puts the image
in the upper left corner of the page.  Actually, it puts it in the *lower*
left corner.

I assume this error arose from the difference in where the origin of
coordinates is for PS and PNM files.  For PostScript, the origin is in
the lower left corner; for netpbm images, the origin is at the upper
left corner.

2005-03-16 Thread Andrew T . Young
Package: tetex-doc
Version: 1.0.2+20011202-2
Severity: normal


I notice a number of spelling errors in the documentation for the babel
macro package.  For example, at the end of the second paragraph of
section 6.1 there is

... untill the end of then document.

which should be

... until the end of the document.


The first error would have been caught by a spell-checker;
the second would not.

The second sentence of section 6.2 begins with Therefor
(which should be Therefore).

Near the end of the abstract, non-american should be non-American.


Rather than chase down all the slips by eye, I'll refer you to my Web
page on multi-lingual spell-correcting, at

http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/GF/bibliog/ispell/multi.html

in hopes you'll find it useful.

as well as in the document mentioned above.  It came back User unknown.

Bug#298481: tetex-bin: texconfig fails to print test page

2005-03-07 Thread Andrew T . Young
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20011202-7.3
Severity: important

The function dvips_test_print that begins on line 464 of the texconfig
script fails to print the test page.  In my case, the printer went into an
infinite loop and never produced any output; debugging revealed that the
string A4size had been sent to the PS printer, leading to an undefined
PS error with an empty stack.

The reason appears to be that the texconf script never copies the
testpage.tex file to the temporary working directory.  This file lives at

/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/testpage.tex

so I suggest inserting a line like

cp /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/testpage.tex .

just before line 469, which tries to  latex testpage .

Bug#296219: mozilla-browser: clicking on a fragment link can go to wrong place; but 'reload' fixes

2005-02-20 Thread Andrew T . Young
Package: mozilla-browser
Version: 2:1.0.0-0.woody.1
Severity: normal

When I have mozilla displaying the page

http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/GF/mirages/Wollaston.html

and click on the inferior mirage link (in the second line of the
second paragraph) whose target is

http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/GF/mirages/mirintro.html#inf-mir

I get the wrong part of the requested page displayed.  But if I then
click the reload button, the correct part of the page is displayed.

I have checked the HTML on both pages with the W3C verifier and both are
valid HTML 4.01.  The error does *not* occur with IE on a machine in the
library, but does reproduce on another box running woody (identical to
this one, but with a P III cpu instead of an AMD Athlon); so the problem
is evidently in mozilla.

Bug#296021: xbase-clients: xgamma fails,gives error message

2005-02-19 Thread Andrew T . Young
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.1.0-16woody5
Severity: normal

xgamma's man page says it will show the current gamma value if no option
is given with the -gamma flag.  I was unable to get it to do this.

Typing just xgamma with no arguments gave:

Xserver is running an old XFree86-VidModeExtension version (0.8)
Minimum required version is 2.0


Looks as if the clients are out of step with the server in woody.

Bug#293695: kernel-image-2.4.18-1-k7: CD-ROM buttons and eject don't work right

2005-02-04 Thread Andrew T . Young
Package: kernel-image-2.4.18-1-k7
Version: 2.4.18-13.1
Severity: normal

My AMD 1.4GHz Athlon clone box has a no-name CD-ROM drive with two
buttons on it.  When the power is on but Linux is not yet running,
the right button seems to open the tray, and the left button closes it.

When the system is running, the setcd -i command reports the tray is
open when in fact it's closed.  Pressing the right-hand button on the
CD drive and the eject command both have the same effect: the tray
is opened and *immediately* closed.  This happens too fast to drop a CD
into the tray before it closes.

Now for the _really_ strange part.  If I press the left button on the
drive, and then press the right button, the tray opens and stays open
-- for some variable period of time.  Sometimes it's 20 or 30 seconds;
sometimes its several minutes.  Anyway, I can usually get a CD into or
out of the tray this way before it closes again.

dmesg reports:

hdc: CD-ROM Drive/F5E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdc: ATAPI 52X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12

Because the CD drive appears to behave reasonably on its own, I think this
is a software problem with the IDE driver -- but I am not a kernel person
and not used to this stuff.  Google has not revealed anything like this.

Any ideas?

Bug#291649: xpdf-utils: pdftotext reports bad PDF file if no text in it

2005-01-21 Thread Andrew T . Young
Package: xpdf-utils
Version: 1.00-3.4
Severity: normal

pdftotext reports an error for the file

/usr/share/doc/texmf/pdftex/base/pic.pdf.gz

(after unzipping it), claiming that

  Error (0): PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
  Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
  Error: Couldn't read xref table

but in fact the file displays a nice picture with xpdf, and pdfinfo says

  Producer: Acrobat Distiller Command 3.0 for Solaris 2.3 and later
  (SPARC) Wed Sep  4 14:35:50 PDT 1996
  CreationDate: Mon Dec 13 23:52:33 1909
  Tagged:   no
  Pages:1
  Encrypted:no
  Page size:440 x 311 pts
  File size:32811 bytes
  Optimized:no
  PDF version:  1.2

which all seems to be OK ... except for the interesting date.

Clearly either pdftotext is mistaken, or the file really does fail to
meet some requirement for PDF files; if the latter, then the tetex-doc
package should have the bug report filed against it.
