Package: network-console
Version: 1.11
A few issues relating to network-console on etch netinst 4.0r3:
* Keys generated by network-console are found on the blacklist included
with newer versions of openssh-server.
* If network-console is used for a new installation, openssh-server is
installed on the new system, but .broken keys are left lying around in
/etc/ssh.
* Likewise to above, the rsa host key (/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub)
is found to be on the blacklist, and appears that it may be the same
rsa key used during installation via network-console.
An 'ls -al *key*' in /etc/ssh on a newly installed system gives
something similar to:
-rw--- 1 root root 668 2008-07-17 07:24 ssh_host_dsa_key
-rw--- 1 root root 668 2008-07-17 07:21 ssh_host_dsa_key.broken
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 612 2008-07-17 07:24 ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 612 2008-07-17 07:21
ssh_host_dsa_key.pub.broken
-rw--- 1 root root 1675 2008-07-17 07:26 ssh_host_rsa_key
-rw--- 1 root root 1675 2008-07-17 07:21 ssh_host_rsa_key.broken
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 404 2008-07-17 07:26 ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 404 2008-07-17 07:21
ssh_host_rsa_key.pub.broken
Likewise, checking for these keys in the blacklist:
# for key in ssh_host_[rd]sa_key.pub{,.broken}; do grep -q $(ssh-keygen \
-l -f $key | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d: -f7- | tr -d :) blacklist.* \
echo $key is on the blacklist; done
ssh_host_rsa_key.pub is on the blacklist
ssh_host_dsa_key.pub.broken is on the blacklist
ssh_host_rsa_key.pub.broken is on the blacklist

The upcoming 4.0r4 point release will ensure fixed versions of openssh
are also included for all CD-based installations.

Re: Is it possible to create several LV on a VG with different names using partman ?
OK, I managed to get qemu running in a sid chroot and to access it via serial console. This is for the good part. Le jeudi 24 juillet 2008 11:05, Jérémy Bobbio a écrit : Please also test normal guided partitioning using LVM and LVM+crypto, if you can. Now the bad part is that the base recipes doesn't work with the patch applied. I'll do some debugging, trying to trace what have changed, and come back with a working patch.

pThe Debian project is pleased to announce the fourth update of its
stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (codename codename). This update
not only adds corrections for security problems and a few adjustment to serious
problems to a stable release, it also adds support for newer hardware by giving
users the option to install newer drivers./p
pPlease note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian
GNU/Linux 4.0 but only updates some of the packages included. Even if you need
new drivers during installation time there is no need to throw away 4.0 CDs or
DVDs. If you don't need newer drivers you'll only to update against
ftp.debian.org after an installation, in order to incorporate those late
changes./p
pThose who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have
to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are
included in this update./p
pNew CD and DVD images containing updated packages and the regular
installation media accompanied with the package archive respectively
will be available soon at the regular locations./p
pUpgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the
aptitude (or apt) package tool (see the sources.list(5) manual page) to
one of Debian's many FTP or HTTP mirrors. A comprehensive list of

packages based upon the Linux 2.6.24 kernel and additional drivers for the X
window system. Installation of these additional packages is not required and
will not occur by default. This update represents no change to the support of
previously available packages./p

FYI: The status of the linux-kernel-di-m68k-2.6 source package in Debian's testing distribution has changed. Previous version: 0.83 Current version: (not in testing) Hint: http://release.debian.org/britney/hints/luk # m68k specific source packages The script that generates this mail tries to extract removal reasons from comments in the britney hint files. Those comments were not originally meant to be machine readable, so if the reason for removing your package seems to be nonsense, it is probably the reporting script that got confused.

Bug#492525: debian-installer: wrong device number for root partition
Package: debian-installer Severity: important I installed Debian testing using debian-LennyBeta2-amd64-netinst.iso using lvm2 over raid1. On the first reboot after the install, the initrd failed to mount the root partition and dumped me into a shell. I eventually figured out that the kernel command line had root=fe00 (so it wanted the root partition on device major=254,minor=0), but that my root was actually on major=253,minor=0. (So I fixed it by booting with root=fd00; then once I was inside Linux, I reran LILO, and that fixed the problem permanently.) I don't remember exactly what I did during the install process, but I may have started to use an LVM partitioning before I decided to go for LVM-over-RAID. So perhaps the LVM module got loaded first, and grabbed major=254; but when I rebooted, RAID got major=254 and LVM got major=253. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (90, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#492086: partman: menus are very slow
Here are the code and the measurements.
partman/lib/base.sh currently uses statements such as:
template=$(cat $dir/question)
As reported before, with the long default
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
then current busybox sh using both fork() and execve() runs
cat /dev/null
for 1000 iterations in 22.2 seconds on unmodified armel-eabi NSLU2
(133MHz armv5te.)
Changing to the the modified short PATH=/bin , then 1000 iterations
take 21.5 seconds.
Changing tryexec()/shell/ash.c to use only fork() and no execve()
[verified using strace]:
-
struct BB_applet const *app = (struct BB_applet const
*)find_applet_by_name(cmd);
int argc = 0;
{
char **p;
for (p = argv; *p; ++p)
++argc;
}
if (app) {
__environ = envp;
exit(app-main(argc, argv));
}
-
runs 1000 iterations of the builtin applet
cat /dev/null
in 12.7 seconds.
The syntax for busybox sh to replace
template=$(cat $dir/question)
is
read template $dir/question
Then 1000 iterations of
read line /dev/null
takes 0.66 seconds. [Thus fork() is almost as slow as execve()
when measured in the busybox sh environment.]
So, avoiding both fork+execve is faster by an order of magnitude
than using fork and avoiding only execve. Avoiding both fork+exec
also bounds the required testing, because only partman is affected,
and not everything else that uses busybox sh.
Some d-i developer probably could edit partman/lib/base.sh to use 'read'
instead of 'cat', test it, and report the results in less than a day.
I got lost in debian-installer-20080522/build/README.
