Doesn't seem difficult.  Let's work backwards...

1) An empty spreadsheet file with "no data" cannot be simpler.

Consider the minimal invocation:

% gnumeric

Gnumeric then creates a blank spreadsheet, and even offers a name, "Book1".  
Suppose the User then presses , , and .  The result
is a new file:

% ls -log Book1.gnumeric 
-rw-r--r-- 1 1704 Jun 26 03:36 Book1.gnumeric

Note how it's 1704 bytes.  Those 1704 bytes comprise a correctly
formatted blank spreadsheet.  Rather like a printed paper & ink form,
not yet filled out by a human.

Now suppose this bug was fixed as I'd prefer:

% gnumeric foo.gnumeric

Followed, (same as before), by the User pressing , , and
.  Which we suppose to produce this:

% ls -log foo.gnumeric 
-rw-r--r-- 1 1704 Jun 26 03:48 foo.gnumeric

No need for an error code.


2) User changes format to '.ods'.  Same as before but:

% ls -log Book1.ods foo.ods
-rw-r--r-- 1 5209 Jun 26 03:55 Book1.ods
-rw-r--r-- 1 5209 Jun 26 03:55 foo.ods

No need for an error code for either file.


3)  Save to another filename, i.e. "File>Save As":

% ls -log bar.gnumeric 
-rw-r--r-- 1 1704 Jun 26 03:48 bar.gnumeric 

No need for an error code.


4) User quits without saving.  Same as when the user doesn't save "Book1".
No need for an error code.
 

Summing up, to fix this bug, just parse the command line, and if there's a
nonexistent file name 'foo', rename the current default of 'Book1' to 'foo'.


If you agree, (and have no further difficulties in mind), please kindly
reopen this bug.

Bug#712034: eject: Fails to eject with "eject: unable to eject, last error: Success"

2013-06-12 Thread A. Costa
Package: eject
Version: 2.1.5+deb1+cvs20081104-13
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

'eject' didn't eject one of my drives recently, and presented
an unusual error message:

% eject -s sr1
eject: unable to eject, last error: Success

What's that supposed to mean?

HTH...



PS:  I'm more concerned with the error message, not the error itself.
Still, also attached is the output of:

{ eject -vs sr1 2>&1 ; echo $? ; hdparm -I /dev/sr1 ; } 2>&1 | gzip >

Bug#699420: k3b: impossible Erase window: 'Found medium: Empty CD-RW medium' & 'Waiting for Disk'

2013-01-31 Thread A. Costa
Package: k3b
Version: 2.0.2-6
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

With a used CDRW disk (apparently undamaged) in the drive, to be blanked,
K3B correctly reported:

Found medium: Empty CD-RW medium

In that same window K3B made an impossible request:

Please insert a rewritable CD medium into drive(...)

None of the three options offered: 'Load', 'Eject', or 'Cancel', 
helped K3B do any erasing.

(See attached PNG.)

PS : Perhaps the CDRW medium was borked by another burner program.
Usually K3B blanks disks just fine.  But a high level burner app should
never contradict itself -- bad media is no excuse!

PPS: later, 'xfburn' was able to blank the same CDRW medium.

Bug#697968: gscan2pdf: Provide useful automatic deskewing option. ('unpaper' fails.)

It sure would, but...

Users like me don't know where this bug lives; some of us use 'unpaper'
only when 'gscan2pdf' calls it.  'man unpaper' is too complex for lazy
users who just want a good GUI front-end to do the work.  Such users
worry if the trouble could be mutual:

1) 'gscan2pdf' might be calling 'unpaper' incorrectly.  
2) 'unpaper' might itself be failing to deskew.
3) Both #1 & #2.

> A quick search didn't come up with any other simple deskewing tools:

I tried a search, and found Marek Mauder's excellent "deskew":

http://galfar.vevb.net/deskew/

The ZIP archive there contains sources & compiled executables for
Win32, Win64, Linux 64bit, & Mac OSX 32bit.  None of those run on my
32-bit Debian system, but the Win32 EXE worked under 'Wine'. The
syntax seems suitable for 'gscan2pdf':

 Usage:
 deskew [-a angle] [-t a|treshold] [-b color] [-r rect] [-o output] [-s info] 
input
-a angle:  Maximal skew angle in degrees (default: 10)
-t a|treshold: Auto threshold or value in 0..255 (default: a)
-b color:  Background color in hex format RRGGBB (default: trns. black)
-r rect:   Skew detection only in content rectangle (pixels):
   left,top,right,bottom (default: whole page)
-o output: Output image file (default: out.png)
-s info:   Info dump (any combination of):
   s - skew detection stats, p - program parameters
input: Input image file

  Supported file formats
Input:  PBM, PGM, PPM, PAM, PFM, TGA, DDS, GIF, JPG, PNG, JNG, BMP, TIF, PSD
Output: PGM, PPM, PAM, PFM, TGA, DDS, GIF, JPG, PNG, JNG, BMP, TIF, PSD

I tried it on a skewed 20 page PDF, (first I ran 'pdftoppm').  The
output was perfectly deskewed.  One kvetch, its default background
(fill-in) color is black, (I used '-b FF' for white), but maybe
there's some easy kludge around that.

HTH...

This bug seems like it might cover the same ground as #698036:

A scan of #697346 shows there's minimal overlap, 
its patch boils down to:

Plus adding the string "one".

This attack specifically works against clients, as it waits for a broadcast arp request, which happens to be a gratuitous arp. See this for an explanation of what a gratuitous arp is. It then flips a few bits in the sender MAC and IP, corrects the ICV (crc32) value and sends it back to the client, where it came from. The point why this attack works in practice is, that at least windows sends gratuitous arps after a connection on layer 2 is established and a static ip is set, or dhcp fails and windows assigned an IP out of 169.254.X.X.

Bug#697968: gscan2pdf: Provide useful automatic deskewing option. ('unpaper' fails.)

2013-01-12 Thread A. Costa
Package: gscan2pdf
Version: 1.0.4-5
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Some duplex sheet feed scanners produce skewed output, so the resulting
PDF file could use deskewing.  'Tools>Clean up>Deskew' implies 'unpaper' 
can automatically deskew, but it's never worked for me; 
other users report similar disappointments, e.g.:

Unpaper (http://unpaper.berlios.de/) is a CLI tool for the job, 
which supports double pages, ...  But in my experience it didn't work at 
all...

http://linux-tipps.blogspot.com/2011/09/cropping-scanned-pages-eg-double-pages.html

What's needed is auto-deskewing that works.

That's true.  Still, users can do a 'shift pageup' to see what's
scrolled off the terminal.  OTOH, your next suggestion (quoted right
below this) would be fine.

Logically satisfactory, but redundant (3x"installed").  
Attempt at reducing:

5 packages will be installed, 1 manually and 4 automatically.

How I do that for typos, (shell script snippet, the details aren't
relevant, but the simple structure of it might be of interest):

# check if there's more than one typo, plural or singular?

case $TYPONUM in

Perhaps the above code should be abstracted for more general use and
spun off into its own text util.  Later such a util might be abstracted
further and made language independent.

2012-12-13 Thread A. Costa
Package: cupt
Version: 2.5.9
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Seen during an install:

The following packages will be installed:

libdataquay0 libfishsound1 liboggz2 librubberband2 sonic-visualiser 

Action summary:
  1 manually installed and 4 automatically installed packages will be 
installed

The first line "The following packages..." provides no number, and the
last line includes two numbers, which if added (4+1=5) corresponds to
the five packages listed.

Computing such totals isn't difficult, but it would be simpler to show
the total, so the first line above would read:

The following 5 packages will be installed:

Optional finesse: handle singular & plural cases correctly, as above
for plural, and as follows for singular (just one package):

The following 1 package will be installed:

PS:  Recently my phone carrier (Verizon) upgraded from copper to fiber 
optic lines.  Since then my modem which formerly connected at 5K is 
mysteriously reduced to 3.3K. (Same hardware, software, & ISP)  
In such an environment efficient 'diff' based transfer programs 
like 'cupt' are more important than ever.  Kudos & thanks again for 'cupt'!

Bug#692847: 'raw': please add convenient '-u' unbind switch

2012-11-09 Thread A. Costa
Package: util-linux
Version: 2.20.1-5.2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

At present the sole available syntax to unbind a device is:

raw /dev/raw/raw 0 0

That syntax is inconvenient because:

1) A command line switch uses fewer characters.

2) There are too many Linux man pages to read.  Users
   skim, and when looking for a given function,
   users skim the man page for indented command line switches.

   Users skimming 'man raw' for an unmount/unbind command line switch
   find nothing.  This leads them to wonder if there's 
   a separate 'unraw' command.
   
   Unless the lucky user skims the 4th paragraph of DESCRIPTION:

"Unbinding can be done by specifying major and minor 0."

3) The "0 0" syntax requires the use of arbitrary "magic numbers".

It would be convenient to have such a switch. "-u, --unbind" might
be good names.  Keep the current "0 0" syntax as well, no need to break
any existing code.

HTH...

Sorry, look again:  "liBARt-2.0-2" matches "bar".

Another way to look at it is to compare the line counts of unique
matches:

% apt-cache search foo bar | wc -l
21

# simulate 'AND' with "sort | uniq -d":
% { apt-cache search foo ; apt-cache search bar ; } | sort | uniq -d | 
wc -l
23

# simulate 'OR'
# { apt-cache search foo ; apt-cache search bar ; } | sort -u | wc -l
791

(BTW, logic aside, thanks for the _cordial_ corrective feedback.)

Bug#691453: apt: 'apt cache search': multiple patterns return fewer matches than if done seperately.

2012-10-25 Thread A. Costa
Package: apt
Version: 0.9.7.6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

In lines #146 & #147 below, the docs explain that 'search' supports 'AND':

% man  apt-cache | grep -B 1 -A 10 -n "search performs"
136-   search regex...
137:   search performs a full text search on all available package lists
138-   for the POSIX regex pattern given, see regex(7). It searches the
139-   package names and the descriptions for an occurrence of the 
regular
140-   expression and prints out the package name and the short
141-   description, including virtual package names. If --full is given
142-   then output identical to show is produced for each matched 
package,
143-   and if --names-only is given then the long description is not
144-   searched, only the package name is.
145-
146-   Separate arguments can be used to specify multiple search 
patterns
147-   that are and'ed together.

However, that built-in 'AND' misses items found with combined 
separate searches:

# built-in 'AND':
% apt-cache search foo bar | sort > /tmp/x1

# simulate 'AND' with "sort | uniq -d":
% { apt-cache search foo ; apt-cache search bar ; } | sort | uniq -d > 
/tmp/x2

# show what the built-in 'AND' missed:
% diff /tmp/x[12]

> libart-2.0-dev - Library of functions for 2D graphics - development files

Bug#690914: cupt: during downloads please show ETA of '.delta' file, rather than '.deb' file.

2012-10-18 Thread A. Costa
Package: cupt
Version: 2.5.9
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

During an upgrade via a dialup connection:

Get:3 debdelta:http://debdeltas.debian.net/debian-deltas  xulrunner-10.0

40% [3 xulrunner-10.0 2431KiB/9688KiB 25%] | 3258B/s | ETA: 21m4s

But 9688K is the size of the compressed '.deb' file:

Since it's a '.delta' file that's being downloaded, the above ETA is 
incorrect.  The correct ETA might be anywhere from 1%-70% of that.

A standard regexp '^' is a clear implication of the above.

Moreover, the docs neglect to describe how the regexp '^' wouldn't

Either the '^' should be made to work in a standard way, or the docs
should describe how it deviates.

Bug#658728: closed by Jonathan Nieder (Re: patch_realtek: no more sound on HP Compaq dx2200 MT)

2012-10-10 Thread A. Costa
Thanks for the civil closing, and sorry about not replying for months.
Lack of time mainly.  Plus a hardware & kernel change since then. The
hardware for #658728 is still here however.  Still the same old hard
disk images, upgraded and copied to ever larger disks since 1998.  

I've also reported other easier (or should that be seemingly easier, or
maybe theoretically easier) Debian bugs, and regret not devoting more
of those bugs time to this bug.

So if I ever get a chance, it'd be nice to complete doing my bit to help
solve #658728...

Off topic, sort of:  would something like 'ksplice'[1] help here, or in
similar cases, the better to ease the user burden of bandwidth &
recompiling?

Bug#689690: clamtk: Quarantine 'Save As' to '/tmp/' error: "Could not save that file."

2012-10-04 Thread A. Costa
Package: clamtk
Version: 4.41-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The 'clamtk' "Scanning Results" window, full of the grayed out files
quarantined, right-click option "Save As:".

Select a quarantined file, pick a save location in '/tmp', and:

"Could not save that file."

The '/tmp' directory had enough free space.

'clamtk' saves the same file to non-'/tmp' directories without a problem.

Assuming this '/tmp' exclusion is intentional or mostly harmless, the
main flaw lies in the error message: "Could not save that file.", which
misleads users to infer the file itself is to blame.

Suggested tweak:  change the source code to check for '/tmp', then
show a more specific error message, e.g.:

Sorry, can't save files to '/tmp'.

Better tweak:.  Gray out the 'tmp' directory in the file selection
window, that is, make '/tmp' unselectable.

HTH...

Bug#689685: clamtk: Doc/interface omission: The Quarantine folder/files pathname.

2012-10-04 Thread A. Costa
Package: clamtk
Version: 4.41-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

The manual should provide the pathname of the Quarantine folder:

% zgrep -i quarantine `dlocate -lsman clamtk` | wc -l
0

Nothing in the README, nor the menus. 

Note for curious users:  the Quarantine folder is hidden in 
the '~/.clamtk/viruses' directory, which contains the suspect 
files (apparently uncompressed).  For example, if you ran 'clamtk'
as root, the Quarantine folder would be '/root/.clamtk/viruses'.

Bug#684692: uswsusp: Vague reconfigure message: "The swap file or partition ... is not active."

2012-08-12 Thread A. Costa
Package: uswsusp
Version: 1.0+20110509-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

On an imperfect system running 'dpkg-reconfigure uswsusp' shows:

 The swap file or partition that was found in uswsusp's 
 configuration file is not active. {...}

Instead of that, I'd Suggest having the reconfigure script accordingly
print either: 

 The swap file '/var/tmp/fubar', named in the '/etc/uswsusp.conf'
 configuration file, is not active.

 The swap device '/dev/disk/by-label/swap', named in the '/etc/uswsusp.conf'
 configuration file, is not active.

...where the specific device or file name would vary depending on
what's in 'uswsusp.conf'.

Why the original is vague:

1) Warns of an inactive file _or_ partition,
   leaving users to discover (or guess) which.

2) Specifies neither the name of the inactive file, nor the device name of
   the inactive device.

3) Doesn't specify the name of uswsusp's configuration file.

4) "that was found in" <> {"named in", "pointed at in", "referred to in", 
etc.}.

After some study of 'setuid()', I now can see the 's/is/its/' was _not_
a typo.  What I'd missed was how "the program torsocks is embedded in"
constitutes a noun-phrase, and therefore can correctly precede
"is".

Attached is another '.diff' file, this time with just "from then

You've added a "-" to highlight the first "is" on the quoted line above,
but the typo was the second "is" on that line:  

's/in is setuid/in its setuid/'.

Good tool: the 'wdiff' package provides colored word-based output.  Example:

D=torsocks.8.diff
wdiff -n -w $'\033[30;41m' -x $'\033[0m' -y $'\033[30;42m' -z 
$'\033[0m' -d $D | less -R

Bug#680336: secure-delete: extraordinary claim: recovery of a file overwritten 10 times?

2012-07-04 Thread A. Costa
Package: secure-delete
Version: 3.1-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

An extraordinary claim:

% dlocate -s secure-delete | grep overwrite
 Even if you overwrite a file 10+ times, it can still be recovered. This

Perhaps in support of which, the docs include:

/usr/share/doc/secure-delete/usenix6-gutmann.doc.gz

...a 1996 paper speculating about the data remanence of the obsolesced
magnetic media of the '80s and mid '90s; it offers no direct 
evidence that a recovery of a 10+ overwritten file has occurred, 
on any medium, ever, anywhere.
 
Suggested revision of package description:

Gutmann method based tools for securely wiping data from files, 
free disk space, swap and memory.


HTH...

Bug#680012: wanted: 'cache-only-upgrade'

2012-07-02 Thread A. Costa
Package: cupt
Version: 2.5.7
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

It would be useful for low bandwidth users to have a 'cache-only-upgrade'
option. 

Apt can already do that using:

apt-get --no-download  --ignore-missing upgrade

...I'm not sure how to make that work for 'cupt', without running both
'cupt update' and 'apt-get update' regularly. To save bandwidth I'd
rather avoid running 'apt-get update'; also, keeping 'apt-get' in sync
with 'cupt' can be difficult.

Application:  suppose a 400M (modem) upgrade needs 24 hours at 5K/sec, but
bandwidth is only available late at night, say 8 hours.  In the
morning, some packages can usually be upgraded, (since their
dependencies have all been fetched), but which packages?  Then at the
end of 3 days, there's new updates, and catching up can be delayed
endlessly.

In the meantime, for users who don't mind a (quite slow) kludge, this 
seems to work:

   # get 'cupt' to just upgrade only what's in the cache.
   # parse upgradeable cached .deb files for '0B', make
   # a list, and install with 'cupt'.
   cupt -y iii `cupt -d -y  safe-upgrade 2> /dev/null | \
   grep -A 2 "The following packages will be upgraded" | \
   tail -n 1 | tr ' ' '\n' | \
   while read p ; do \
   yes q | cupt iii $p 2> /dev/null | \
   grep -q "get 0B" && echo -n $p" " ; \
   done`

HTH...

Bug#680010: wanted: debdelta-only-upgrade option.

2012-07-02 Thread A. Costa
Package: cupt
Version: 2.5.7
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

On my Debian 'unstable', with a 5K/sec modem for internet,
sometimes an upgrade/update cycle lists many big files with 
no currently available debdeltas, which means 400M or so to 
download, a 23 hour upgrade (ideal case).

It would be useful if users with low bandwidth could 
run an update/upgrade cycle that offered available 
debdeltas only.  The CLI interface might look like:

# update deltas
cupt debdelta-update
...

# upgrade with only deltas
cupt debdelta-only-upgrade
...

Benefits include: In some cases it would make systems safer 
faster, as would be the case when a needed upgrade has deltas 
available, which would otherwise wait behind a 23 hour queue.
(i.e. a 23 hour window of vulnerability.)  It needn't slow anything 
down, since the user could always run 'debdelta-only-upgrade' first, 
then opt for a standard upgrade.  Also saves user time, electricity,
phone bandwidth, and server bandwidth.  


I'm not sure if the debdelta infrastructure as of 7/2012 provides an 
easy way to do this.  If not, something extra would need to be 
added to debdelta to make it work.

HTH...

The Debian BTS has by default, (besides it's primary function to fix
bugs), a secondary journalistic function, of telling users and
programmers how things are with a package, what's needed, planned,
etc.  So, news of stasis or growth, either of which is useful news...

Bugs like these serve that secondary function.  Thanks for the replies.

Bug#677688: help2man: 'help2man' doesn't timeout lingering child processes.

2012-06-15 Thread A. Costa
Package: help2man
Version: 1.40.10
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

(This was discovered while coding a front-end menu for Debian's several 
documentation types and corresponding viewers.  My front-end hung,
when it did what follows...)

Since 'xfce4-clipman' has no CLI help, 'help2man xfce4-clipman'
returned nothing.  During which 'xfce4-clipman' loaded a 2nd instance
of itself, (which stays resident); meanwhile 'help2man' waited for its
child processes to quit, making it look like it had hanged.

Fortunately I'd seen the extra 'clipman' icon show up in the system
tray.  'Ctrl-C' restored the command prompt.

Programming remedy:  have 'help2man' timeout after a duration D.  D
might be a function of the size of the executable's real path name and
the cstime (cumulative system time) of help2man's child processes.
After D, output an explanatory error message, then quit.

Meanwhile, a kludge for users:

# Run for half a second, then quit.
% timeout .5 help2man xfce4-clipman | man -l -
Terminated

Documentation remedy:  perhaps programming a fix seems like a
reduplication of 'timeout', if so please consider documenting
the problem, along with a 'timeout' example.

HTH...

Thanks for the reply.

In review, to verify I understand correctly.  You suggest the cause of
'sylpheed' unexpectedly quitting might be a side effect of something
that happens only during a background 'gvfs' upgrade, and probably
happens because of a 'gvfs' upgrade.  (This is plausible, since I
usually have a 'sylpheed' window open, and I also run system upgrades
regularly.)

Supposing that's not a 'sylpheed' bug, would it therefore follow that it
must be a 'gvfs' bug?

I probably should check my '/var/log/dpkg.log' circa 4/10/12 (when
this bug was first reported).  Hmm, that date's been logrotated, and
today it'd be here:

-rw-r--r-- 1 148461 May  1 04:16 /var/log/dpkg.log.2.gz

Grepping that, it seems there were some upgrades to 'gvfs' version
1.12.0-1 before 4/10/12: 

% zgrep gvfs /var/log/dpkg.log.2.gz | grep " status installed " \ 
   | grep "2012-04-[01][07-9]"
2012-04-08 20:38:54 status installed gvfs-common:all 1.12.0-1
2012-04-08 20:38:54 status installed gvfs-libs:i386 1.12.0-1
2012-04-08 20:38:55 status installed gvfs-daemons:i386 1.12.0-1
2012-04-08 20:38:56 status installed gvfs:i386 1.12.0-1
2012-04-08 20:38:56 status installed gvfs-backends:i386 1.12.0-1

What versions of 'gvfs' were installed before then?  'gvfs' v1.10.1-3:

% zgrep gvfs /var/log/dpkg.log.2.gz | grep " status installed " \
 | grep "2012-0[1-4]-" | grep -m 1 -B 10 "1.12.0-1"
2012-04-02 13:30:27 status installed gvfs-common:all 1.10.1-3
2012-04-02 13:30:27 status installed gvfs-libs:i386 1.10.1-3
2012-04-02 13:30:28 status installed gvfs-daemons:i386 1.10.1-3
2012-04-02 13:30:29 status installed gvfs:i386 1.10.1-3
2012-04-02 20:35:34 status installed gvfs-backends:i386 1.10.1-3
2012-04-08 20:38:54 status installed gvfs-common:all 1.12.0-1

Hypothesis:  to reproduce, we'd have 'gvfs' v1.10.1-3 installed, then
run 'sylpheed' v3.2.0~beta6-1, keeping the latter open during a
background upgrade to 'gvfs' v1.12.0-1; after the upgrade, with
'sylpheed' still open, try to attach a file to a message.  I don't
recollect which file I was trying to attach.  Would the file's
directory need to be overseen by 'gvfs' to be relevant?

Bug#676304: help2man: 'help2man cdck' outputs duplicate switch description lines.

2012-06-05 Thread A. Costa
Package: help2man
Version: 1.40.9
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Consider 'cdck' a util and package name.  Its command
line help isn't very unusual:

% cdck -h   
Usage: cdck [-d /dev/devname] [-i] [-v] [-p] [-o plot-file.dat]
   -d CD/DVD device name, default is /dev/cdrom
   -i Print CD/DVD information and quit, perform no timings (default mode)
   -t Perform timing test
   -p Save data for gnuplot(1) program
   -o specify plot file, ./cdck-plot.dat is default
   -V Print version
   -v Verbose operations

>From which, 'help2man' outputs duplicate lines:

# run 'help2man', prettify with 'man', sort the results, 
# count the dups, sort again by number, then show the doubles.
% help2man cdck | man -l - | sort | uniq -c | sort -g | grep " 2 "
  2-V Print version
  2-d CD/DVD device name, default is /dev/cdrom
  2-i Print CD/DVD information and quit, perform no timings 
(default mode)
  2-o specify plot file, ./cdck-plot.dat is default
  2-p Save data for gnuplot(1) program
  2-t Perform timing test
  2-v Verbose operations

I'd guess that since 'cdck' lacks '--help' and '--version' options, 'help2man'
checks for both, and comes up with the above.

Possible fix:  check if any duplicate switches exist, if so print only one of 
each.

time seemed like garbage.)

Very helpful, thanks -- how little I'd looked into 'wdiff'!  This works
(no highlighting, but the text equivalent):

# change the first 'o' from 'fortune' quote to 'oo'; compare.
% fortune | tee /tmp/fub2 | sed 's/o/oo/1' > /tmp/fub1 ; wdiff 
/tmp/fub[12]
[-Trooubled-]{+Troubled+} day for virgins over 16 who are beautiful and 
wealthy and live
in eucalyptus trees.

And 'wdiff -a ...' does indeed highlight.  

The '-t' ('--terminal') switch also provides more or less the thing
desired:

wdiff -t /tmp/fub*

Except it's not in color.  'info wdiff' shows a way (bash):

   wdiff -n \
 -w $'\033[30;41m' -x $'\033[0m' \
 -y $'\033[30;42m' -z $'\033[0m' \
 ... | less -R

  This will print deleted text black on red, and inserted text
  black on green

Sometimes I don't want to see the common words, or any lines of ""
that the '--no-common' switch outputs.  Of course a built-in switch
would be simpler; until then, for users in the same spot, a bash
function:

# Usage:  minimal_colorwdiff file1 file2
# minimal_colorwdiff diff_file
minimal_colorwdiff() { \
 { [ "$2" ] \
&& wdiff -3  -w $'\033[30;41m'  -x $'\033[0m'  \
 -y $'\033[30;42m'  -z $'\033[0m' $1 $2 \
|| wdiff -3d -w $'\033[30;41m'  -x $'\033[0m'  \
 -y $'\033[30;42m'  -z $'\033[0m' $1 ; \
 } | sed -n '/^$\|^=*$\|^.*-- .*++ .*/!p' ; \
}


This one takes two args, (files to be diff'd); or one arg, (a single
diff file, in which case it'll also omit any leading line of filename
metadata).

Bug#307827: wdiff / colordiff: word highlighting would also be good

2012-05-22 Thread A. Costa
Only after the bug was closed did I read T. Connors' post,

Not on my system:

% dlocate -s wdiff | grep Ver
Version: 1.1.0-2
% man wdiff | grep -A 1 '\-a,'
   -a, --auto-pager
  automatically calls a pager

Perhaps you had meant some other switch or util?

Bug#672840: tint2: 'tint2conf>properties' currently useless: "Saving not yet supported".

2012-05-13 Thread A. Costa
Package: tint2
Version: 0.11+svn20111022-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

'tint2conf>properties' displays a varied config GUI.  In the current 
version, if the user tweaks a few items, then clicks 'Apply' or 'OK',
the GUI returns a "Saving not yet supported" box.

Possible temporary remedies, (pending the time the GUI can save data):

1) temporarily remove 'tint2conf' from the 'tint2' package.

2) Disable (gray out) the 'tint2conf>properties' item.

HTH...

Bug#672661: man-db: 'apropos nosuchthinganywhere ; echo $?' returns 0

2012-05-12 Thread A. Costa
Package: man-db
Version: 2.6.1-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The man page says 'apropos' provides useful exit codes:

# show exit codes, no blank lines.  
% man apropos | grep -n -A 7 EXIT | sed  '/^.*-$/d'
105:EXIT STATUS
106-   0  Successful program execution.
108-   1  Usage, syntax or configuration file error.
110-   2  Operational error.
112-   16 Nothing was found that matched the criteria specified.

So the following should return '16':

# search for a non-existent string, print exit code.
% apropos nosuchthinganywhere ; echo $?
0

For comparison, the `whatis` util does return '16':

% whatis nosuchthinganywhere ; echo $?
nosuchthinganywhere: nothing appropriate.
16

Attached is the output of:

% apropos --debug nosuchthinganywhere 2> /tmp/apropos.log

Bug#671817: sed: 'info sed "Centering lines"' script: line 12: strings for `y' command are different lengths

2012-05-07 Thread A. Costa
Package: sed
Version: 4.2.1-9
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Output the script in 'info sed "Centering lines"' to a file:.

% info sed "Centering lines" 2> /dev/null | \
sed -n '/#/,35p' | sed 's/^ //' > /tmp/sedcenter
% chmod +x /tmp/sedcenter

The script fails:

% echo hello | /tmp/sedcenter 
/bin/sed: file /tmp/sedcenter line 12: strings for `y' command are 
different lengths

Line #12:

%grep -n 'y/' /tmp/sedcenter 
12:y/tab/ /

It looks as though #12 should behave as "tr '\t' ' '", but line #12 
doesn't seem to work for the current version of 'sed'.  
This would work:

s/\t/ /g

I'd include a patch, but it's not obvious whether the code in line #12
is wrong, or if 'sed' should be able to run it.

HTH...

Bug#671306: 'pinfo dash <&-' hangs: shows 1st screen, but keys don't work.

2012-05-03 Thread A. Costa
Package: pinfo
Version: 0.6.9-5.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I've been testing a local Bourne shell script that uses 'iselect' in a
'while' loop that calls 'pinfo'.  When the script opens a file as a
command line argument, 'pinfo' works correctly.  When the script inputs
from STDIN, 'pinfo' consistently hangs.  (i.e. the first screen of data
is shown, but no pager keys work.  'Ctrl-C' to exit works.)  The one line
of code that calls 'pinfo' remains the same, hang or no hang.

This code simulates the hang:

# close STDIN, run pinfo
% pinfo dash <&-

Maybe 'pinfo' requires an empty and open STDIN.

I used 'strace' and 'diff' to compare good and bad 'pinfo' runs. The
good run succeeds with this call:

select(1, [0], NULL, NULL, {0, 0})  = 0 (Timeout)

...while the bad run fails with it, just before some sort of infinite
loop:

select(1, [0], NULL, NULL, {0, 0})  = 1 (in [0], left {0, 0})

'man select' describes a potential 'select' hang, or race condition, and 
a related 'pselect' fix:

  % man select | grep -A 7 "reason that pselect"

The reason that pselect() is needed is that if one wants to wait for either 
 a
signal or for a file descriptor to become ready, then an atomic test is 
needed
to prevent race conditions.  (Suppose the signal handler sets  a  global  
flag
and  returns.   Then a test of this global flag followed by a call of 
select()
could hang indefinitely if the signal arrived just after  the  test  but  
just
before  the  call.   By contrast, pselect() allows one to first block 
signals,
handle the signals that have come in, then call  pselect()  with  the  
desired
sigmask, avoiding the race.)

Other pagers don't fail this way: 'man dash <&-' works fine.  

HTH...

Bug#671134: util-linux: 'whereis' package diversion output inconsistent

2012-05-01 Thread A. Costa
Package: util-linux
Version: 2.20.1-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The 'moreutils' package has a 'parallel' command, and so does the
'parallel' package.  If the 'parallel' package is installed over a
pre-existing installation of 'moreutils', two diversions are created
(one for the 'parallel' util, and another for its man page):

% dlocate parallel | grep diversion
diversion by parallel from: /usr/share/man/man1/parallel.1.gz
diversion by parallel to: /usr/share/man/man1/parallel.moreutils.1.gz
diversion by parallel from: /usr/bin/parallel
diversion by parallel to: /usr/bin/parallel.moreutils

The resultant 'whereis' output is inconsistent:

% whereis parallel
parallel: /usr/bin/parallel.moreutils /usr/bin/parallel /etc/parallel 
/usr/bin/X11/parallel.moreutils /usr/bin/X11/parallel 
/usr/share/man/man1/parallel.1.gz

% whereis parallel.moreutils

/usr/bin/X11/parallel.moreutils /usr/bin/X11/parallel 
/usr/share/man/man1/parallel.1.gz

For clarity, let's spread out that 'whereis' output, and use line 
numbers:

% whereis parallel | tr ' ' '\n' | nl -s " "
 1 parallel:
 2 /usr/bin/parallel.moreutils
 3 /usr/bin/parallel
 4 /etc/parallel
 5 /usr/bin/X11/parallel.moreutils
 6 /usr/bin/X11/parallel
 7 /usr/share/man/man1/parallel.1.gz

Lines #2 & #5 probably don't belong.

% whereis parallel.moreutils | tr ' ' '\n' | nl -s " "
 1 parallel:
 2 /usr/bin/parallel.moreutils
 3 /usr/bin/parallel
 4 /etc/parallel
 5 /usr/bin/X11/parallel.moreutils
 6 /usr/bin/X11/parallel
 7 /usr/share/man/man1/parallel.1.gz

Lines #1, #3, #6, & #7 probably don't belong. The package name (#1) 
is incorrect.  The man page name (#7) is incorrect.

Bug#670996: dlocate: '-lsbin' & '-lsman' options don't show diversions.

2012-04-30 Thread A. Costa
Package: dlocate
Version: 1.02
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

The 'parallel' package diverts a command in the 'moreutils' package.

'-lsman' & '-lsbin' don't reflect that change:

% { dlocate -lsman moreutils ; dlocate -lsbin moreutils ; } | grep parallel
/usr/share/man/man1/parallel.1.gz
/usr/bin/parallel

Which creates a little illusion of duplicate filenames in lines
#1 & #3 and #2 & #4 below:

# feed the last command back to 'dlocate', filter out diversions:

No duplicate filenames exist under '/usr/' of course.

Wouldn't it be simpler to have the '-ls*' switch output show
the diversion names (where applicable) instead?  Hypothetical output:

% dlocate -lsman moreutils | grep parallel
/usr/bin/parallel.moreutils

Dear Maintainer,

Usually the music player interfaces that 'promoe' seems to be modeled
on permit users to right click for various config menus, e.g. for
skins, plug-ins, etc.

Please consider adding some kind of config menu/interface.

Bug#669041: dhelp: 404 Not Found

2012-04-16 Thread A. Costa
Package: dhelp
Version: 0.6.20
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Plain old 'httpd' dependent 'dhelp' isn't working on my system.  
When run, 'dhelp' launches a browser, which says:

404 Not Found
doc/HTML/index.html:

This item has not been found

'dhelp -f' works correctly.

My current  web server 'bozohttpd' works correctly with 
'dwww'; but perhaps bozo & dhelp don't get along?

 This command dumps information about the PNG files named on the command line. This command's output is based on the output of the \fBtiffinfo\fP command, which is part of the \fBlibtiff\fP distribution. Each line output by the command represents a value that has been set within the PNG file.

-The \fB-t\fP command line option forces pnginfo to use \fIlibtiff\fP \fBtiffinfo\fP style lables, instead of the more relevant png names. The \fB-d\fP command line option dumps the bitmap contained by the image to standard out, whilst the \fB-D\fP command merely checks that the image bitmap could be extracted from the file.

Bug#668302: sylpheed: symbol lookup error: .../libgioremote-volume-monitor.so: undefined symbol: g_mutex_lock

2012-04-10 Thread A. Costa
Package: sylpheed
Version: 3.2.0~beta6-1
Severity: normal


Dear Maintainer,

While writing an email that'd been open in the background 
for a while, (hours), I clicked the 'Attach' button, and 
sylpheed vanished -- as in ceased running.  Worse, for
some reason sylpheed's 'auto-save' function wasn't turned on.

Terminal error said:

sylpheed: symbol lookup error: 
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgioremote-volume-monitor.so: undefined 
symbol: g_mutex_lock

Looking closer:

% dlocate libgioremote-volume-monitor.so
gvfs:i386: 
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgioremote-volume-monitor.so

So how does 'gvfs' interact with sylpheed?  It may be related to:

#549330 gvfs: segfault in libgioremote-volume-monitor.so
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=549330

So far, I can't reproduce this bug at will, but it might have 
happened before, within the last month.  (Last time I didn't 
notice the terminal message, and supposed some other cause.)

HTH...

Thanks for the pragmatic reply, and ensuing interesting puzzle.
Arithmetic for 'magic' values sounds like a useful feature, so that
could be another 'wishlist' bug.

Fortunately, output more like 'file *.BMP' requires no arithmetic:

Bug#667551: vbuf: 'man vbuf' lacks examples.

2012-04-04 Thread A. Costa
Package: vbuf

Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

There are no examples in 'man vbuf', '/usr/share/doc/vbuf', nor 
online here:

http://vrb.slashusr.org/

The man page would be better with a command line example, ideally:
STDIN to STDOUT, using common commands, along the lines of:

# BEFORE
%foo | bar
...output_before...

# AFTER
foo | vbuf [options] | bar
...output_after...

...where the "AFTER" output would be noticeably different.

Bug#666972: manpages: 'man proc': /proc/partition block size and count method undocumented

Dear Maintainer,

well as number of

There's no mention of how many bytes are in a block, and no description of how
block numbers are counted.

The counting method seems relevant since 'df' returns different numbers; numbers
which must have been counted using a different method:

It would be useful if the user could (from 'yagf') tweak, clean,

Bug#665913: yagf: Defaults to Russian language.

2012-03-26 Thread A. Costa
Package: yagf
Version: 0.9+svn247-2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

'yagf' defaults to the Russian language, and on a typical English
oriented system can't do OCR until the user changes the language.  The
error message (in English) is somewhat confusing:

Required spelling dictionary (ru) is not found.
Spell-checking is disabled.
Try to install an appropriate aspell dictionary.
[OK]

That third sentence "Try to install..." misleads the user to 
wonder if some necessary package is absent.  I'd suggest
omitting the third sentence.

It would be better if on installation some script would 
examine the system, (perhaps the locale data, I dunno), 
and automatically pick a likely language.

Bug#665912: yagf: Graphics resize button "+" won't enlarge a small image.

2012-03-26 Thread A. Costa
Package: yagf
Version: 0.9+svn247-2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I ran 'yagf' for OCR on an error message screenshot, (371 x 125,
8-bit), but the middle graphics pane's display of the image was too
small to read.  Clicking "+" didn't enlarge the image, and "-" made the
image even smaller, (after which "+" did work, but only up to the
initial small size).

Of course one could resize the image in an external program,
but it'd be less inconvenient.

A "resize to fit window" button might also be useful.

Bug#665871: gscan2pdf: 'gscan2pdf' no longer offers 'tesseract' OCR, persistently.

2012-03-26 Thread A. Costa
Package: gscan2pdf
Version: 1.0.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I used to have 'tesseract' set as my default OCR for 'gscan2pdf'.
Today in 'Tools>OCR>OCR Engine' the only option is 'GOCR'.  

Checking my system:

# packages still installed?
% dglob tesser
tesseract-ocr-osd
tesseract-ocr-equ
tesseract-ocr
tesseract-ocr-eng
libtesseract3

# check whatis lines
% apropos OCR

recognition sys...
ocrfeeder-cli (1)- command line interface for OCRFeeder, a document 
layout analys...
tesseract (1)- command-line OCR engine

Clearly 'tesseract' still exists on my system.

Meanwhile, from my home directory, I've tried:

# check config
% grep -i gocr .gscan2pdf ; echo $?
ocr engine = gocr
0

# tweak it
sed -i 's/gocr/tesseract/' .gscan2pdf

# verify
grep -i gocr .gscan2pdf ; echo $?
1


Then I ran 'gscan2pdf', but there was no change to 'Tools>OCR>OCR Engine'.
Did an OCR.  Closed it.  Then:

# check config again
% grep -i gocr .gscan2pdf ; echo $?
ocr engine = gocr
0

And it go changed back to 'gocr'.
