I believe it is a bug in itself that dpkg stops when there are too
many errors, but this is another story :-)

It was a bug in base-files_2.2.15, but it's already fixed in base-files_3.0.
It will be fixed in mips/mipsel as soon as base-files_3.0 is available
for those architectures (since base-files is "Architecture: any").

This bug never propagated to woody, so if you use woody you should be safe.

I believed dpkg was ready for an install from scratch to have the dir
file at /usr/share/info, but I was wrong. I apologize for the inconvenience.

As a result, in woody the info system will have all the info files
at /usr/share/info but the index `dir' file will still remain at /usr/info.
[ As long as it works everybody should be happy ].

Bug#121724: malformed release file still happening in 3.0.17

2001-11-29 Thread Michael Schmitz

Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.17
Severity: important

Sorry but it's still happening (cf. #114603)- the only way around was a
restart of the install from scratch (including mke2fs). Architecture is
i386 for a change, BTW. Most probably caused by giving a bogus archive
URL for network install on the very first attempt. 

No files in /target/var/cache, a zero bytes release file in
/target/var/lib/apt/lists (removing that one didn't do anything)

Subtle clue: manually running the same debootstrap command as shown in
the log screen
gives:

/usr/sbin/debootstrap: 3: bad file descriptor

(some file not getting closed after initial failed download??)

Re: fallback to single language when fbcon not available

2001-11-29 Thread Phil Blundell

>How often are users going to be in a situation with no fb-capable
>video driver?

Fairly often, I suspect.  I think the only fbcon driver that's enabled in our
kernel images is vesafb, and my experience has been that it doesn't work with 
a lot of cards.  It might be worth filing a bug on kernel-image to ask for e.g.
matroxfb and mach64fb to be turned on as well.

>Sounds like this issue is kinda a crippling one -- the idea to drop
>down to english as effectively 7 bit sounded like the best approach.

Yep, seems that way.  I've checked in a patch that implements this.

I see someone uploaded an NMU for newt, too.  So, the only blocking issue I
know about for LC at the moment is #121186.  I'm kind of wary about NMUing
bogl-bterm for that one without the maintainer at least agreeing that the 
change is correct, but we may have no choice if nothing happens soon.

Looks like the problem here is that the ReiserFS kernel package doesn't include

Installation Manual: lines go outside of paper

2001-11-29 Thread Nico Karrer


Hi There

I just looked at the Intel x86 Installation Manual
(/stabel/i386/install.en.pdf) and noticed that in some pages the
text goes over the border of the page. This is the case for directory
pathes, especially from page 33 to 39.

Looking forward to install Debian.
All the best
Nick

Nobody tried so far, but it would be silly, since crypto packages in
non-US/main will be moved (or uploaded) to main before the release.

There are a number of places where policy says "this is a must" but we
only really care about it being true at release time. For example,
packages must not depend on others with lower priority values, but the
ftp admins usually downgrade the priority of a standard library (say,
libncurses4) before all standard packages using such library are
recompiled with the new one (say, libncurses5) and everybody seems to
consider this premature downgrading of the old library as conformant to policy.

For this reason, I think a Build-Dependency on zip should be ok.

Bug#121696: kernel-image-2.2.19: udma100ext3 detects two ethernet devices, when I only have one.

2001-11-29 Thread Jordi Mallach

Package: kernel-image-2.2.19
Version: N/A; reported 2001-11-29
Severity: important

[ This is affecting boot-floppies seriously ]

Hi Herbert,

When I boot using latest CVS rescue.bin using the ext3-enabled images, I
get two ethernet cards detected, eth0 and eth1, when I only have a
8139 in the system. eth0 doesn't work at all, you need to config the
system for eth1 if you want to enable the network within dbootstrap.

If that is the only problem, did nobody try convince the zip maintainer
to provide a non-non-US-compliant version? Just a spin-off, without
crypto and probably reduced in features, only to fit the needs of BF
builders?
