Bug#620515: kernel-package: --revision does not conform to debian policy
Package: kernel-package Version: 12.036+nmu1 Severity: minor The documentation for kernel-package (/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz) suggests the use of --revision=custom.1.0 but this does not conform to Debian policy: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version As this is now enforced by dpkg, following the instructions for kernel-package now yields the error: dpkg-query: warning: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 19528 package 'linux-image-2.6.38': error in Version string 'custom.1.2': version number does not start with digit Please update the documentation to kernel-package to be coherent with dpkg and Debian policy.

Bug#617236: olwmolvwm: DISPLAY environment variable corrupted
Package: olwm
Version: 3.2p1.4-25.1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
Prelude:
OK, I know that xview, olwm, olvwm are DEAD... but
I was very happy to see that they now compile on amd64.
(I had earlier lamely tried compiling them myself on this architecture
without much success, nor putting much effort, either.)
However, I loved olvwm and xview, and ALL current GUI developers
should read the Open Look Style Guide, as it clearly explains how a window
manager and GUI system should behave. Lessons that have NOT been learnt.
Even though I loved olvwm, I will probably not use it again much,
or for long, as we have all become dependent on more modern windowing
systems. But perhaps in a spate of some sort of mid-life crisis
I will nostalgically go back to it, and find efficiency and happiness.
Bug:
olwm and olvwm corrupt the environment variable DISPLAY.
If it is set to :0 as by default on my system,
the window manager resets it to .0, breaking everything.
If it is set to :0.0, then everything goes fine.
The problem is in olwm/environ.c and olvwm-4.1/environ.c
My rusty programming experience (that dates from the period when xview
was developed, and before) sees nothing wrong, except:
134c134
(void)sprintf(value,%.*s.%d,len,display,screen);
---
(void)sprintf(value,%*s.%d,len,display,screen);
I do not understand what %.*s means, and I believe that this is a typo.
Removing the . produces working olwm and olvwm.
Thanks again for getting this to compile under amd64
(the problem was probably in a dependency that was fixed).
Please fix the package before anyone else notices.
Thank you.
Alan

Bug#598693: imagemagick: compile with libfftw?
Package: imagemagick Version: 8:6.6.0.4-2.2 Severity: wishlist Imagemagick needs to be recompiled with libfftw to work with the options -fft and -ift. In order not to add a dependance on libfftw3-3, this option is not enabled in the distributed binary package. Installing libfftw3-3 and libfftw3-dev and recompiling the package: apt-get build-dep imagemagick; apt-get install libfftw3-3 libfftw3-dev; apt-get -build source imagemagick; dpkg -i imagemagick_*.deb is sufficient to create an fft-enabled version of imagemagick. Is this a correct proceedure to follow? (notably, apt will try to update over the locally compiled package...) Would it be possible for the maintainers to add a README.Debian file to explain this and to provide a correct proceedure to be followed by users in order to keep an updated fft-enabled version of imagemagick on their systems? Thank you. Alan P.S.

I find your use of the word complaining disrespectful. A bug report serves to give feedback, and being polite should be answered politely. The point is that one cannot have things both ways. Either kfreebsd is indeed to become core as the announcements advertise (and I imagine the developers wish, otherwise why would they be working on this?), or not.

The use of complaining, annoying, etc. shows no respect for the community. Do developers really want to be isolated, or are they indeed interested in getting feedback from users/testers? A bug report reflects needs. Maintainers can politely give information on meeting these needs (or on the inappropriateness/marginality of these particular needs). The problem with the current issue is that the maintainers/promoters of kfreebsd ask about fitness for release and would somehow like for this kernel to be adopted by part of the community. Functionality so basic (and so long-standing) as NFS should be included. I suppose that the porting is not so trivial, otherwise it would already be included. But much contradictory information on this question can be found on the web, including messages from maintainers claiming that it is there! The purpose of the bug report is to clarify the situation, not to provoke over-sensitive reactions on the part of developers. Tit-for-tat responses are indeed unproductive and demotivating.

Bug#549412: freebsd-utils: fails to mount nfs: mount_nfs not found
http://www.debian.org/News/2009/20091007 `` Debian pushes development of kFreeBSD port October 7th, 2009 The Debian Release Team is pleased to announce that it sees the port of the Debian system to the FreeBSD kernel fit to be handled equal with the other release ports. The upcoming release codenamed 'Squeeze' is planned to be the first Debian distribution to be released with Linux and FreeBSD kernels. The kFreeBSD architectures for the AMD64/Intel EM64T and i386 processor architectures are now release architectures. Severe bugs on these architectures will be considered release critical the same way as bugs on other architectures like armel or i386 are. If a particular package does not build or work properly on such an architecture this problem is considered release-critical. '' A missing mount_nfs makes kFreeBSD pretty incomplete for use. The answers in this bug report makes the news announcement pretty misleading. Furthermore, the handling the problem in such a way At most important, but may be even just wishlist: I assume you did notice “package maintainer's or release manager's opinion” here. Which of them are you? No need for severity ping pong. is pretty unfair for the good intention of users who are willing to follow Debian in this direction. A reasonable interpretation of the text of the news announcement would even make this issue release-critical.

Bug#585097: kde-standard: change update-notifier-kde from depends to recommends
Package: kde-standard Version: 5:62 Severity: normal kde-standard recommends freespacenotifier and network-manager-kde. update-notifier-kde should also have the status of recommends, not depends. Indeed, these are all quite *invasive* background daemons that should not be imposed on kde-standard users. The current situation forced me to uninstall the kde-standard meta-package and to manually select many of its components. Note that these daemons may break other standard Debian system functionality (network-manager breaks standard wpa-suppleant usage, update-notifier breaks other packages making use of motd, for example).

Bug#583590: qemu-kvm: /etc/kvm/kvm-ifdown: could not launch network script
Package: qemu-kvm Version: 0.12.4+dfsg-1 Severity: minor I finally got -net tap to work properly! (wishlist: the documentation on networking could be greatly improved...) My command line (somewhat simplified) is: $ kvm -cpu host -m 2G -drive file=image.qcow2,index=0,cache=writeback,media=disk -vga std -soundhw ac97 -net nic,macaddr=$macaddress,model=e1000 -net tap and this leads, by default, to the following error message on exit: /etc/kvm/kvm-ifdown: could not launch network script Of course, as /etc/kvm/kvm-ifdown does not exist. Rather than adding ,downscript=none perhaps the debian package should install one, such as #! /bin/sh # Script to bring a network (tap) device for qemu-kvm down (or containing a better comment, stating why no action is necessary).

Bug#580214: linux-image-2.6.32-5: cannot mount (or fsck) a usb disk at boot time
Package: linux-source-2.6.32 Version: 2.6.32-12 Severity: normal Tags: sid A second hard disk is installed on my computer as an external usb device. Since the last kernel update (either using an official debian kernel-image or a locally compiled kernel from debian sources), mounting of this disk at boot time fails. (If /etc/fdisk indicates an fsck pass 2, this fails as well, putting the system into single-user mode.) It appears that the disk detection is now loaded after mount attempts to handle the disk - perhaps usb_storage (I'm only guessing here) is no longer included in the initrd? Once the system is booted, mounting of the disk works fine. This is a minor error, but such a configuration (created using the debian-installer) should work out of the box without having to adjust the configuration of initramfs or other tools.

Bug#561836: please include revtex4 in addition to revtex4.1
revtex4-1.cls is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for revtex4.cls The bugs mentioned in this report should now be fixed upstream, making the reversion to 4.0 in debian unnecessary. Please update the debian distribution (in unstable at least). Thank you Alan Release of REVTeX 4.1 (patch level 1) March 15, 2010: A new release of REVTeX 4.1 has been made public. The following bugs were addressed: * Using the same \affiliation more than once results in some authors not getting any affiliation at all. * reftest was left out of the distribution * For RMP, the \cite command doesn't enclose the citation in parentheses properly. * For RMP, the .bst files don't properly handle several cases including a book with editors, but no authors In addition, there were many other improvements including the handling of footnotes, compatibility with packages such as lscape and hyperref, and punctuation in bibliographies. Also, the long version of the BibTeX style files have been removed from the distribution. The remaining style files have been enhanced to provide the same functionality when the longbibliography class option is used. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#567031: povray not available on kfreebsd-i386
Package: povray Version: 1:3.6.1-12 Severity: important The binary package povray is not available on kfreebsd-i386 (nor on kfreebsd-amd64) According to the news item of October 7, 2009: The kFreeBSD architectures for the AMD64/Intel EM64T and i386 processor architectures are now release architectures. Severe bugs on these architectures will be considered release critical the same way as bugs on other architectures like armel or i386 are. If a particular package does not build or work properly on such an architecture this problem is considered release-critical. 1. I downloaded the povray source from upstream, and it configured and compiled without a hitch. The binary produced runs correctly. 2. apt-get --configure source povray yields installable povray_3.6.1-12_kfreebsd-i386.deb povray-doc_3.6.1-12_all.deb povray-examples_3.6.1-12_all.deb povray-includes_3.6.1-12_all.deb and runs correctly.

Debian 5.0.3 businesscard install with unstable/sid. 1. Partition hard drives, Clock/timezone setup, and User/password setup completed *without* problems. However, upon boot (see below) a _disk check_ (both volumes) was initiated due to a last mount time in the future. Indeed, the system clock is now one hour late (set time by ntp and clock *not* at GMT). This itself is a minor problem, but the _root account was disabled_, even though I allowed root logins and set a root password. My solution: $ fsck /dev/hdb1 $ reboot $ fsck /dev/hdc1 $ passwd -u root $ passwd root $ ^D 2. *grub2 install failed* during the install process. (Seems to be an incompatibility between debian-installer and a changed syntax in the grub package. I do not remember the exact text, but vt4 showed a command-line option error message.) In order to boot the system, I had to manually type at the grub prompt: grub insmod ext2 grub set root=(hd1,1) grub linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-1-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro single grub initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-1-686 grub boot To fix the system, after fixing the file systems and the root login (see above), I had to take the following steps: $ apt-get install os-prober (even though the installation process had indicated finding the dual boot) $ update-grub This, finally, gave me a working, installed system.

It is only triggered when the user asks for a XEN dom0 image, and is using grub2, and has not told grub2 to ignore vmlinux. In any case, 12.030 will not ship vmlinux unless asked. I think there is a mismatch between our expectations; I expect people compiling kernels to be aware of their configuration, and to have set the configuration according to their desires. In this case, a dom0 image is being asked for; and you are hitting a flux in kernel-package's treatment of XEN images. This is not encountered with the standard (that is, make defconfig) configurations.

Bug#556929: kernel-package now severely broken
The tone of this exchange is not being constructive. I must strongly object to your defensiveness and empty moralization. It appears that you do not understand users. On Friday 20 November 2009 15:59:29 sriva...@acm.org wrote: I repeat, I am not doing anything non-standard: $ cp /boot/config-2.6.31-1-amd64 .config $ make-kpkg --initrd --revision=custom.1.2 kernel_image That's [retty non-standard for a custom kernel. You are using a distro kitchen sync config for making a custom kernel; and kernel-package is mostly geared for individuals. As a starting point, this is as good as a stripped-down kernel. The debian distributed kitchen sink (sic.) kernel is tailored to be appropriate for average users. As I do not follow kernel development, I consider that this keeps up with changes as new functionality appears and others become obsolete. Of course, it is better to run a custom kernel, better optimized to ones individual needs. Another purpose is to maintain a working kernel (i.e. bootable in a first approximation) that will resist getting broken through package upgrades, especially when one is running unstable. When the stock linux-image gets updated (in general synchronized with an update to linux-tree), before recompiling a custom kernel, I systematically check first that the stock kernel runs correctly. Only then do I update my custom image. As for the example that I sent, kernel-package is clearly broken if it cannot recreate a stock-like kernel. In this case, I cannot be blamed for having made a poor choice of configuration options. *I* did not ask for XEN, this is part of the debian stock kernel image configuration. Yes, you did, by using that config file. No, the Debian team included XEN in their stock image. Someday, maybe, I will be interested in XEN, but for the moment I do not know anything about it. *I* did not instruct grub2 not to ignore vmlinux, my grub2 configuration was installed as standard. And you fed it a non-standard image, which had vmlinux in it. kernel-package is not geared for people cargo culting. I do not understand cargo culting, sorry. The image produced using kernel-package should be essentially equivalent to that distributed via the linux-image package. How can you call this non-standard for grub2? If kernel-package thus created the wrong image, this is an error. Until the recent change, I had never seen vmlinux, and therefore there was no problem. Why was the decision made to now produce this? This is part of the effort to make kernel-package friendlier to XEN, and as Xen moves closer to inclusion in mainline. Also, the usage conventions for XEN are changing, and k-p has to be made to adapt to it. Very good! Hopefully the maintainers of kernel-package will learn something from these bug reports. In particular, to change their a priori's as to standard usage. Also, I can find no mention of make defconfig in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz kernel-package does not say _anything_ about how you get your .configs. The defconfig is documented in upstream kernel documentation. Huh? I hate to quote, but: 2% make config # or make menuconfig or make xconfig (or, for 2.6.x kernels, make gconfig) and configure ... Kernel package by itself does not create any configuration file (.config); it uses whatever you have. You can use the previous version made for you machine by copying it over from /boot/config-Y.Y.YY, like so: % cp /boot/config-Y.Y.YY .config where Y.Y.YY stands for the old version of the kernel that you had hand tuned. OK, it says hand-tuned. The stock kernel /boot/config-Y.Y.YY-Y-arch was hand-tuned by the maintainers and corresponds to an working version of the current kernel sources. Or should... so please do not moralize me and recognize that there IS a bug! I do not think there is a bug anymore, anyway. You are using unstable, there is a reason it is called the bleeding edge. Behaviour changes, and it sometimes takes a few days for things to stabilize. Yes, that is why there are bug reports for unstable, too. It is irresponsible to claim that no bug exists. Unstable, so-called bleeding edge, will have bugs. Of course it sometimes takes a few days for things to stabilize. Without testing and bug reports, this process will take even longer! Please be assured that I have maintained a running system, despite this bug in kernel-package. So, perhaps next time I will be more patient and let others work things out.

Bug#556043: kernel-package: standard make-kpkg proceedure creates xenu image
Package: kernel-package Version: 12.025 Severity: normal Bugs #551104 kernel-package: make-kpkg (binary-arch|kernel_image) generates xenu pkg #551657 kernel-package: postinst file for xen kernel should be modified have been closed, marked resolved, yet I still see no solution. Therefore, I am filing a new bug report. Following standard proceedure: $ cp /boot/config-2.6.31-1-amd64 .config $ make-kpkg --initrd --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image generates linux-xenu-2.6.31_custom.1.0_amd64.deb rather than linux-image-2.6.31_custom.1.0_amd64.deb It adds in support for Xen DomU, and kernel-package obliges. The only difference, at this point, is in the name of the kernel image, it can be installed and used as a normal kernel as well. This SHOULD create a linux-image-2.6.31 package equivalent to the stock linux-image-2.6.31-1, as distributed. Any other behavior is WRONG as this breaks users' installations and should be fixed. (Perhaps the fix is in the documentation and the standard working proceedure needs to be modified...) Please note that a user compiling a kernel using make-kpkg starting from a standard kernel may not know anything about Xen. Thank you.

On Tuesday 03 February 2009 09:38:48 Brice Goglin wrote: These are experimental packages :) We are working on making the upgrade smooth before everything enters unstable. Yes, they are in experimental... My comment on the configuration problems upon upgrade is intended to give some useful feedback, not to complain! Despite the posts, I do not understand the input-hotplug interaction. My system correctly finds the keyboard, mouse and touchpad by HAL... However, the xserver does as well so everything is duplicated. Removing Input entries from xorg.conf doesn't help: (==) The core pointer device wasn't specified explicitly in the layout. Using the first mouse device. (==) The core keyboard device wasn't specified explicitly in the layout. Using the first keyboard device. and specifying one with Driver evdev (why not try?) was no better. Only adding Option AutoAddDevices false got the configuration working. Seems that the problem is that somehow evdev is not blocking input to the standard devices as it is supposed to do? Must be simple to sort out. I just don't know enough. Would be nice to be able to use multiple keyboards... Does your original crash still happen now? With the new driver, I uncommented the Option Above LVDS Section Monitor Identifier VGA-0 Option PreferredMode 1600x1200 Option Above LVDS EndSection (and commented #xrandr --output VGA-0 --above LVDS in my .xsessionrc). This now works and does not produce a crash if the external monitor is unplugged. I suppose that this means that you can now close the present bug report! The two means of adding an external screen differ in their consequences: - The xorg.conf solution requires restarting the xserver to properly take into account plugging/unplugging the external monitor - The .xsessionrc solution resets on login. Of course, in all cases one can type xrandr --output VGA-0 --above LVDS at any time upon plugging/unplugging. Should this be automatic? Maybe the second head should automatically come up as a clone upon plugin, unless configured otherwise in xorg.conf. Finally, the new server fixes a few other bugs: Under KDE4/plasma, the bottom pixels of the LVDS screen appeared wrapped onto the bottom of the external monitor. This is no longer the case. Also, dragging windows from the LVDS screen to the external screen had a hic (under KDE4/plasma) of getting blocked on the external screen; Trying to drag them back to the LVDS screen would not go any further than when the window title decorations hit the bottom of the external screen. This is also no longer the case. Bravo! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

I'm sorry, installing xserver-xorg from the experimental branch results in a broken X11 environment and is thus unusable. The problem seems to be with the keyboard handling as typing appears to be echoed as doubled. It is thus untestable, unless this is a trival, identified problem.

Bug#513793: amarok 2 (experimental) dependency problem? (amarok-engine-xine)
Package: amarok Version: 2.0.1.1-1 Severity: normal After upgrade from 1.4.10 to 2.0.1, I discovered the strange behavior that amarok skipped tracks, playing thus every other track. On the amarok.kde.org forum I saw that this is related to xine - but my system was indeed correctly configured to use the xine engine. I did notice, however, that the package amarok-engine-xine, version 1.4.10 remained installed. So I tried removing this, and, after restarting amarok, all tracks are now played correctly. It would appear that there may have been some interference with this old package left around, so the bug to report is most likely a simple problem of dependencies for the new amarok 2.0 experimental package. Beware, however, as kdelibs5 was also upgraded at the same time, and I do not know what influence this may have had on my experience... Thank you!

This is Debian *experimental*, ie a place where you should expect surprises and also new thigns to happen, particularly during the days where Lenny is frozen for release. Surprise indeed.

I'm not even sure that such a bug report is worth it as I'm really sure that Danial Burrows will document the new GTK-related options, provide a way to easily avoid the GTK interface and even maybe provide it by default for GUI-challenged folks.

You have no right being (deeply) annoyed. This IS a bug report: an application described as being text-based should NOT present a gui interface. Does vim run gui by default? How about a gtk version of mutt? Maybe cat should open a new window?? I was deeply annoyed to see such an affront, and this motivated the bug report. Thanks for the answer and the solution.

Bug#505467: aptitude is a text-based interface to the Debian GNU/Linux package system.
Package: aptitude Version: 0.5.0-1 Severity: important According to the manual page and to the package description aptitude is a text-based interface to the Debian GNU/Linux package system. Now, a spiffy new gtk interface fires-up. I did not ask for this. I do not want this (if I had, I would probably have typed aptitude-gtk). Quickly typing man aptitude or aptitude --help, I see no immediately obvious way of recovering the expected, curses based application. Nor did I find anything under /etc/alternatives. What is going on here? Is this Debian? Not to make any judgement on the qualities of the new gtk interface. Maybe it will be a success. Maybe I will use it, or maybe not... But something has gone wrong. I was not informed upon upgrade (or on running aptitude) about this new behavior.

Bug#486810: openoffice.org: menu text ureadable until swept by the mouse cursor
I found a solution: 1. The problem occurred on a machine using a nvidia graphics card running under the nvidia driver. 2. KDE4 effects were inoperative until adding the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section Extensions Option Composite Enabled EndSection 3. Openoffice now displays correctly. The reported bug must be some odd side-effect of KDE4 with the nvidia driver. It's beyond me, but now it works!

If you use broken drivers it's your fault. I should agree, but... As a side note: So I'll try the standard nv driver again... But I had turned to the nvidia driver a while ago as the supported driver was super-slow, and not for fancy accelerated graphics but for standard tasks such as opening windows, etc. I've noticed a similar HUGE difference on my laptop using the unsupported fglrx driver compared to the supported radeon driver, again for standard X11 use. Maybe I should spend some time trying to understand this, as it is sort-of a pain depending on these proprietary drivers. - KDE4 is not in unstable. I am, indeed, an unstable type of guy, but for further excitement, I have ventured into the experimental branch, just for KDE4. (I hope that it will be making it into unstable soon so that I can spend less energy beta-testing.) Thanks for your attention.

Bug#492317: (update breaks grub boot (MBR) Grub Error 28: Selected item can not fit into memory)
Further investigation shows that the error systematically occurs after selecting a grub boot option from kdm. This, persists even after powering-down the system before trying to reboot. Thus, kdm (version 4:4.0.98-1) must be corrupting the grub configuration somehow. I am filing a kdm bug report upstream. Should the present grub bug report be closed? Thank you
Bug#491086: xcursor-themes
Installing xcursor-themes (and selecting core.theme) straightens things out: Now, selecting the default cursor theme (called KDE classic !) indeed gives the standard X-cursor theme (or whatever is chosen in /etc/alternatives/x- cursor-theme). So is this a KDE bug or a bug in the debian implementation of KDE? A possible solution to the present reported bug would be to make kdebase- workspace-data depend on xcursor-themes; this is probably better than transforming the oxygencursors dependence into a suggestion...

What is kdm exactly doing? I am filing a kdm bug report upstream. Should the present grub bug report be closed? I can't tell if this is GRUB's fault or not without an accurate description of what kdm is doing. I'm not sure what kdm is doing, as I have not taken a look at the source code. However, I see the following in /var/log/kdm.log GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory) [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename. ] grub savedefault --default=5 --once grub so I see that kdm seems to run grub, and not edit menu.lst or some other hack. Let's reassign this bug; later it can be moved back to GRUB if necessary. The grub and kdm maintainers are much more competent than I. However, I can investigate more if no-one else is aware of the problem or cannot reproduce. It's a bit time-consuming, so for the moment I am simply avoiding using this feature - I'll stick to rebooting into linux :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#486810: openoffice.org: menu text ureadable until swept by the mouse cursor
Hello, I just tried openoffice on a second computer (a laptop) also under KDE4, supposedly having an (almost) identical configuration as my desktop computer. Both are under debian unstable/experimental and both underwent a clean reinstall recently. The bug does NOT reproduce on the laptop, so now I must figure out where the difference lies... May take me a while, as I have little time to experiment at the office. I'll let you know if and when I find the solution. Thanks for your attention, and I will keep you informed. Alan P.S. KDE4 beta seems to be getting close to stable, and, after a difficult start (4.0 was unusable), I do like the way it is going, even if everything is not yet perfect!

Bug#277864: mutt segfault
Hello Christoph, I have tried both 1.5.13-1.1 (etch/sid) and 1.5.14+cvs20070301-1 (experimental) with three different IMAP mailboxes. Both versions seem to work correctly. (Since the filing of the bug report, I have been holding a downgraded version of mutt.) Thank you for your development work!

I have been experiencing mutt segfaults with annoying regularity lately. It seems to have to do with IMAP, and the backtrace from a core file seems to agree: (gdb) where #0 0x40263ffd in free () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x080aade8 in safe_free (ptr=0x40322620) at lib.c:127 Re: Jeffery von Ronne 2005-11-28 [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've also been getting occasional IMAP related seg-faults. Re: Hilmar Preusse 2006-01-04 [EMAIL PROTECTED] I believe I see the same bug here. The bug occurs, when I use my IMAP INBOX. Re: Edward J. Shornock 2006-02-04 [EMAIL PROTECTED] I had the segfault problem as well while using IMAP at the Sorting Folders step. Upon downgrading to 1.5.11-5 the segfaults stopped. Re: Alan BRASLAU 2006-03-17 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systematic segmentation fault upon opening an imap mailbox. Hi, I'm just digging through Debian's mutt bug list. Can anyone of you still reproduce #277864 with recent mutt packages? At the moment 1.5.13-1.1 is in etch/sid and 1.5.14+cvs20070301-1 in experimental. It would be nice if you could give both a try and tell me which works/doesn't work.
