Towards common sense to
Towards common sense The commotion surrounding vaccinations used for waging political battles will eventually turn against communities. The 1918-1919 flu pandemic, nicknamed the Spanish flu, was also caused by the A/H1N1 swine flu virus. Its first wave had a similar course to the current incidence of disease. In spring 1918, the first wave of the pandemic hit. Although highly contagious, it did not bring with it a significant death rate. The second outbreak, which commenced in September 1918, was marked by an incredibly high number of fatalities, whilst the third took place in 1919. The course of the current A/H1N1 pandemic without a great number of fatalities (if one can describe the death of 20,000 people in such a way) is not conducive to a rational assessment of the preventive vaccination programme. For many politicians, populism and the desire to win over voters are the only determinants of their actions. Such politicians prey on the low awareness on the part of society, which notices only events, and imagining what could potentially happen is outside their visible realm. Also, a lack of knowledge about the course of the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-1919 and its death toll, estimated at between 50 million and 100 million people, is not conducive to preventive vaccinations. If an anti-vaccination attitude is reinforced in social beliefs, then the future may see the deaths of millions of people as a result of abandoning general preventive vaccinations. The message to inform people of the risk carried by an influenza pandemic is an important one. Let us hope that the situation will be different from the regularity, which often accompanies capital markets, where world crunches occur within cycles every few decades or so, and awareness of the threat dies with the generation. We find ourselves in a place and time where the future of mankinds existence in the conflict with mortal viruses is clinched. Let us stop the feverish bus ride, fed with political populism and short-sighted electoral perspective. Let us look at the warning signs, which mankind encountered in his path in the years 1918-1919. If you believe that it is worthwhile doing something for the common good, then forward this appeal to others or link to: www.right-to-health.org so that the information has a chance to spread. We are the ones who can influence whether common sense prevails. Sense is sometimes in the minority and loses out to populism, but let us not give up just yet!

Bug#591923: boot.img and debian-installer usb stick problem
Package: debian-installer Version: 20090123lenny7 also seems to afflict version 20090123 Hi there, I have made a bootable usb stick for installation of debian on an acer aspire one. The stick boots fine but the problem arises when it searches for a bootable ISO image. I have to do this twice in order to find the image (not the actual problem but still worth mentioning). At first it responds with: An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Scan hard drive for an installer ISO image. The second time it mentions mounting sda1 sda2 sda5 (hard disk) sdb1 (USB stick) and the installer quickly finds the ISO image on the stick. It does not seem to scan the harddrive at all (or probably only looks at the root directory of the disk) no hd. light going on and off. It says: The Iso file: /debian-505-i386-netinst.iso on /dev/sdb1/ (STABLE) will be used as the installation iso image. Then the installation continues as usual but when the partitioning system wants to write to the disk (I choose guided partitioning use whole disk everything in one directory / but this choice doesn't matter - whatever you choose here leads towards the same problem). It fails with the following message: The EXT3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (SDA) failed. What caught my eye was when I opened a terminal and entered a mount command without options. Is that both /dev/sda1 (hard disk) and /dev/sdb1 (USB stick) are mounted on the directory /hd-media. this must have led to a problem when partitioning the hard disk because partitioning a mounted volume leads to trouble. I tried unmounting the /cdrom directory wich contains the ISO image mounted over the loop device, which in turn is located on usb stick /dev/sdb1 then unmounting /dev/sdb1 and then unmouting the harddisk /dev/sda1 what should remedy the problem. And then reattaching the usb stick /dev/sdb1 and mounting the ISO on it through the loopback back on /cdrom so I could continue the installation. However, this doesn't work because (speculation) the installer itself seems to be using the /hd-media directory wich results in a DEVICE BUSY when trying to unmount the /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb1 who are mounted there. When playing around it seems that the scan hard drive for an ISO image option mounts everything - it expects the ISO image to be on and forgets to unmount the devices where it does not find it. Leading towards my problem. After this option in the installer menu the whole lot gets tangled up and I am not savvy enough to untangle it again. I do not know if this is an acer aspire one problem or a more general issue by lack of another laptop. Anyway the installation from stick is rendered useless this way. Hope this helps in fixing things. Kind regards, Sietze van de Burgt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#591978: tasksel: lxde-desktop install includes gnome (non-d-i invocation)
Package: tasksel Version: 2.81 Severity: normal Calling tasksel from the command-line (as live-helper does in chroot_tasks) instead of via d-i, if you try to install lxde-desktop, it will include gnome. While not a serious problem for most users, it is very serious for debian-live, since lxde is supposed to be our lightest desktop and ends up being actually larger than gnome itself. The good news is that it can be worked around (thanks, Joey Hess for the tip) by preseeding debconf. But this is not at all obvious to the developer trying to install tasks, so has the appearance of being broken. This is what worked for me: echo tasksel tasksel/desktop select lxde | debconf-set-selections And then the install proceeds normally without pulling in GNOME. Please fix tasksel so we don't have to hack around it to make installing the lxde-desktop task do the expected thing. The intuitively obvious thing for 'install lxde-desktop' is that only lxde-desktop should be installed and not gnome.

Package: cdebconf Version: unable to display ${something} Severity: minor Tags: d-i I'm writing a tool to modify the u-boot environment on certain devices. At a point, I'm showing the user the changes to make to his environment. Such changes usually contains the ${mtdparts} string, that triggers an assertion error in cdebconf when displayed. I have made several tests: 1°) db_subst uboot-installer/apply_changes CHANGES $$ shows $$, 2°) db_subst uboot-installer/apply_changes CHANGES \${mtdparts} aborts 3°) db_subst uboot-installer/apply_changes CHANGES $\{mtdparts} shows $\{mtdparts}, which is not what I want Reading the source code, I finally came to the conclusion that cdebconf expands ${...} no matter what, and wants it to be a directive. Reading the doc, I've found that a non-implemented directive does nothing and is replaced by an empty string, so, here is my ugly hack that works: db_subst uboot-installer/apply_changes CHANGES $${!}{mtdparts} This feels a bit wrong, and I think there should be a better way to do that. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (120, 'unstable'), (105, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35-rc3+ (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages cdebconf depends on: ii debconf 1.5.33 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdebian-installer4 0.74 Library of common debian-installer ii libnewt0.52 0.52.11-1 Not Erik's Windowing Toolkit - tex ii libslang2 2.2.2-4The S-Lang programming library - r pn libtextwrap1 none (no description available) cdebconf recommends no packages.
