Bug#292760: sylpheed-gtk2: discards characters in header with high bit set

2005-01-29 Thread Amelia A Lewis
Package: sylpheed-gtk2
Version: 0.9.99-2
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

Upstream; not debian-specific.

My system locale is ISO-8859-1.  If I send characters that are in this
character set, Sylpheed (correctly) uses "encoded word" to ensure that they
appear in the headers.  All fine.

I recently began corresponding with Russian friends, using KOI8-R.  I can
easily (easily enough) set the encoding for Sylpheed to KOI8-R, and type
Russian in the body of the email.  Again, fine.

Sylpheed displays headers received from correspondents which contain
cyrillic characters in encoded-word format correctly.  However, because
ISO-8859-1 doesn't include these characters, Sylpheed replaces them on
outgoing mail with underscores (really replaces them, that is, not just
replaces them on display; what's worse is that they seem to display
correctly, while composing, but are replaced with _ _ _ when the
message is sent).

This happens even on replies.  That is, for a reply, Sylpheed has seen the
encoded-word format for KOI8-R, and decoded it properly, and displays it. 
But it won't wrap the headers back up in KOI8-R encoded word; instead it
discards them, replacing them with underscores.

Recommended: currently, the preferences for the client as a whole have to be
set to a different encoding in order to use a different encoding for a
particular message.  Instead, add "Select Encoding" to the Message menu when
composing a message.  Then, when preparing headers, check the message
encoding first, and use encoded-word with that charset in preference even to
the system locale.

This would significantly improve ease of use for users who correspond with
people whose native language is different.

Bug#404453: log rotation causes slimserver to stop playing

2006-12-24 Thread Amelia A Lewis
Package: slimserver
Version: 6.3.0-4
Severity: normal

Every Sunday morning at 6:30, the slimserver log is rotated, and my
player (which is on infinite-loop random-by-album, 750 albums and about
10K songs which should take three weeks to play completely) stops.

This is annoying.  When it restarts, it's randomized differently (starting
from the album playing when it was killed by the log disappearance), but it
means that instead of playing the entire list before randomizing and
starting over, I only get about a third of it, and some things get played
much more often than they would if it continued as I have it set.

I don't think that this is an upstream, since it is an interaction with the
debian logrotate facility.  In fact, the problem is clearly that slimserver
is forced to restart in the script in /etc/logrotate.d/slimserver.

On the other hand, maybe it is an upstream.  The logfile is not initialized
in initSettings() (where it would respond to a sighup, which is what the
init script's reload sends (via start-stop-daemon)), but in daemonize(),
which is only called once on start (or restart).

There isn't a good workaround.  Failing to rotate the logs is liable to lead
to them growing to unacceptable dimensions; there isn't a good built-in way
to signal the daemon that its logfile has been rotated out.  The
least-dangerous way to stop it from dying every Sunday morning seems to be
to disable logging, and then disable log rotation--which means that any
*other* problems are liable to be that much harder to diagnose.

Bug#363556: fop: still broken

2006-05-14 Thread Amelia A Lewis
Package: fop
Version: 1:0.20.5-8
Followup-For: Bug #363556

Need those dependencies.  Installing libxp6 (and its dependencies) does not
resolve the error.

All right.  After chasing around for a bit, this seems to be the list of
things needed:

libxp6
libxt6
libxtst6

These draw in further dependencies, but without these three, it appears that
nothing works.  Systems running an X server won't notice; these things are
already installed.

Note: I'm not sure that I agree that this is "minor".  It "makes the package
unusable" for servers, where on-the-fly pdf generation might be considered a
useful sort of thing to have.  At least "recommend" these packages, hey?
