Re: [arch-general] ssh mutt etc problem

2010-10-18 Thread Daniel J Griffiths (Ghost1227)
I'd have to check, but if there was a soname bump on the last update, things
might not be linked correctly. Does recompiling the affected programs help?

 Dear Archers,


With the latest pacman -Syu I am getting segfaults with ssh and
 mutt.
 I think the two are related for the following reason

 (1) Mutt works alright till it tries to make SSL/TLS connection and then it
seg faults

 (2) ssh directly seg faults


 I think this has got to do with an update in openssl (both mutt and openssh
 depends on this) although the openssl comman itself does not seem to have a
 problem

for root, you need to create it yourself. it will be created for users you
add to the system however. if you do create one for root, you'll have to
create a .bash_profile file as well that sources it for it to actually work
automagically on login.

 Right now I only have a 'root' user and no normal shell users ...yet.
 I checked /root and there is not /root/.bash*. Am I missing something
 here? I even created a new user and in their home directory there is
 no .bashrc. What is wrong with my system or am I expected to manually

 Yea. Whats wrong with a GUI frontend? People will use pacman or the
 frontend- whichever they prefer. I know arch's wants to keep it simple
 but providing a good frontend in the repos isnt a bad idea.
It's been discussed before and rejected. If you want to know reasons and

  Not using the runtime from rsync at all also misses some updates.

  The vim PKGBUILD is crazy complex as it is, and switching to Mercurial

  And it looks like it DOES have tags, so v7-2-325 would give us vim
  7.2 including up to patch 325.
 
  Simpler PKGBUILD? Check. More up to date runtime? Check. Less headache

You can just send me the updated PKGBUILD. Been meaning to start working on

  - allow db-move to handle multiple packages
(or add a script to help moving from community-testing)
 

We should kill these testing2whatever scripts and unify it completely in
db-move (including the testing2x case where the right repository is
automatically determined). Short-term it would probably suffice to
create community-testing2community.
   
Ask and ye shall receive. Attached is a patch db-move that incorporates 
the ability to handle multiple packages and cleans up the whitespaces. I 
know the whitespace patch should technically be separate but I had such 
a hard time reading db-move when I was editing it that I had to include 
it for my own sanity. Note: my patch hasn't been tested beyond echoing 
output to the screen... but it should work.
