Bug#861116: yadex crashes on startup

Debian used to have a Yadex package but it was removed in 2004
because it had been "without maintainer for over a year". You
are trying to use a 14-year old binary on a new system.

The reason why it doesn't work is presumably that the Glibc ABI
has changed in incompatible ways in the interval. It's not a bug
in Yadex or Glibc, it's bit rot.

Thanks !

Should this bug be closed outright ? It is still in stable. If
it disappears from the list, the next person to stumble on it
may waste his/her time and yours reporting it again.

Bug#831746: vim: cursor does not skip over showbreak string properly

[Andre Majorel]

Package: vim
Version: 2:7.4.488-7
Severity: normal

Dear vim maintainer,

normally, if a line soft wraps, the cursor will skip over the
showbreak string. For example, if showbreak is "x", moving the
cursor right from the last column of the first screen line will
skip over the "x" and jump to column 2 of the second screen line.

If a line is long enough to wrap more than once, something weird
happens on the 3rd and subsequent screen lines. Moving right
from the last column of the second screen line lands the cursor
on screen column 1, even though what is there is the showbreak
string. Moving right again lands on column 3, skipping over
column 2.

In other words, Vim displays all showbreak strings at screen
column 1 but directs cursor motion as if the second and
following were at screen column 1 + strlen(&showbreak).

Bug#735843: txt2man: Left margin getting wider, unbalanced .RS/.RE

[Andre Majorel]

Package: txt2man
Version: 1.5.5-4
Severity: normal

Dear txt2man maintainer,

For some documents, the output's left margin gets wider and
wider over the length of the document. Examining the output
reveals that it contains fewer .RE requests than .RS requests.

How to reproduce : run txt2man on xa-2.1.4f/doc/xa.txt from
http://www.floodgap.com/retrotech/xa/dists/unsupported/xa-2.1.4f.tar.gz
and observe how the left margin goes from 10 spaces for the
first paragraph to 21 for the last.

The same bug is present in upstream version 1.5.6.

Thanks in advance.

Bug#591608: ltsp-server: XS80-x-modes mishandles modelines in X_MODE_{0,1,2}

[Andre Majorel]

Subject: ltsp-server: 
Package: ltsp-server
Version: 5.2.2-1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Dear ltsp-server maintainer,

as reported on ltsp-discuss one month ago,
/usr/share/ltsp/screen-session.d/XS80-x-modes assumes that
X_MODE_{0,1,2} are set to just a mode name (E.G. X_MODE_0 =
640x480).

When an X_MODE_[012] parameter is set to a mode name and
modeline, only the first word goes into Screen.Display.Modes.
The rest is for Monitor.Modeline.

A version of XS80-x-modes that fixes this is attached.

Thank you.

Sorry for the delay. With xserver-xorg 1:7.5+5 and
xserver-xorg-video-radeon 6.13.1-2, xmame -fullscreen says

  XDGAOpenFramebuffer failed
  Use of DGA-modes is disabled

hence no crash. But no fullscreen either.

In addition, X now rejects any doublescan modelines ("doublescan
mode not supported") and ctrl-alt-[+]/ctrl-alt-[-] have become
no-ops.

So even though things have in fact got worse, yes the bug can be
closed.

Thank you.

Severity: normal

Dear debtags maintainer,

the man page mentions that the argument of grep and other

The examples suggest that three boolean operators and the grouping

which ? Glob, basic regexp, extended regexp, PCRE, something else ?
Is it case sensitive ?

The only way to find out anything seems to be trial and error.

Bug#539116: ltsp-server: garbage in output of ltsp-build-client

[Andre Majorel]

Package: ltsp-server
Version: 5.1.73-1
Severity: normal

Dear ltsp-server maintainer,

running ltsp-build-client &>log creates a file containing a long
run of NULs and possibly out of order text :

  http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/bugs/ltsp-build-client-sid1.out.gz

The same file with the 90526 NULs replaced by repeats of the string
"(90526 NULs)" :

  http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/bugs/ltsp-build-client-sid1text.out.gz

This is reproducible. The only way I've found to get a proper log
file is :

  ltsp-build-client 2>&1 | cat >log

which yields :

  http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/bugs/ltsp-build-client-sid2.out.gz

I'm guessing that at some point, something inside
ltsp-build-client does something it shouldn't with stdout and/or
stderr... Perhaps reopening either one with O_TRUNC just before
writing "NOTE: disabling security APT source for sid.  It does not
exist."...

The document above has two short tables. In the first, HTML

Bug#457537: libmail-mboxparser-perl: incorrect parsing of headers if colon not followed by a space

[Andre Majorel]

Package: libmail-mboxparser-perl
Version: 0.55-1
Severity: normal

Dear libmail-mboxparser-perl maintainer,

Mail::MboxParser::Mail->header returns incorrect results for
headers where the colon is followed by something else than a
space.

Consider the following mailbox :


>From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Dec 22 12:03:25 CET 2007
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sat, 22 Dec 2007 14:41:15 +0100
Header-Name:header-body-that-does-not-begin-with-a-space
Header-Name:header-body-that-begins-with-a-tab

Body


Running this code on it :


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Mail::MboxParser;

sub quote ($)
{
  my $result = $_[0];
  $result =~ s{(.)}{ord $1 < 0x20 || ord $1 > 0x7e || $1 eq '%'
? sprintf '%%%02X', ord $1 : $1}eg;
  return $result;
}

my $mbp = Mail::MboxParser->new ($ARGV[0]);
for (my $mnum = 1; my $msg = $mbp->next_message; $mnum++)
{
  my $headers = $msg->header;
  foreach my $hname (sort keys %$headers)
  {
my @values = ($headers->{$hname});
@values = @{$values[0]} if (ref $values[0]);

foreach my $hval (@values)
{
  print "message $mnum, name \"", quote ($hname), "\", value \"",
quote ($hval), "\"\n";
}
  }
  print "\n";
}


produces :


message 1, name "", value ""
message 1, name "date", value "Sat, 22 Dec 2007 14:41:15 +0100"
message 1, name "from", value "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
message 1, name "header-name:%09header-body-that-begins-with-a-ta", value ""
message 1, name "header-name:header-body-that-does-not-begin-with-a-spac", 
value ""


In the 4th and 5th lines, the header body is shortened by one
character and folded into its name. My understanding of RFC 2822
is that the 5th line should be :


message 1, name "header-name:", value 
"header-body-that-does-not-begin-with-a-space"


and the 4th line should be either :


message 1, name "header-name:", value "%09header-body-that-begins-with-a-tab"


or, to be consistent with the removal of leading white space
elsewhere :


message 1, name "header-name:", value "header-body-that-begins-with-a-tab"


This bug is more serious than the "normal" severity would suggest.
Headers where the colon is not followed by a space occur often
enough in the real world that a mailbox of any size is almost
guaranteed to contain some. This module is in effect nearly
unusable.

Bug#455911: grep: Need option to leave the atime alone (O_NOATIME)

[Andre Majorel]

Package: grep
Version: 2.5.3~dfsg-3
Severity: wishlist

Dear grep maintainer,

it would be nice if GNU grep had an option to grep the files
without disturbing their access time.

In the general case, this involves calling utime(2) after closing
the file. However, under Linux this can be done easily and without
any performance penalty by passing the O_NOATIME flag to open(2).

Bug#454485: passwd: gshadow(5) man page: s/newgrp(5)/newgrp(1)/

[Andre Majorel]

Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.0.18.1-11
Severity: minor

gshadow(5), the man page of gshadow, mentions non-existent man
page "newgrp(5)" in its SEE ALSO section. The author probably
meant "newgrp(1)".

Bug#445200: findutils: xargs man page: italic for bold, .SS OPTIONS

[Andre Majorel]

Package: findutils
Version: 4.2.31-1
Severity: minor

Dear findutils maintainer,

1)  In the xargs(1) man page, in the OPTIONS subsection, the names of
the options are in italic. They should be in bold.

In addition, the long name is listed first. Short name first would
be more readable.

Recommendation : replace

  .I "\-\-arg\-file=file, \-a file"

by

  \fB\-a\fP \fIfile\fP, \fB\-\-arg\-file=\fP\fIfile\fP

and so on.

2)  The OPTIONS section is erroneously a subsection.

Recommendation : replace

  .SS OPTIONS

by

  .SH OPTIONS

Bug#406817: sfdisk: misleading description of input format in man page

[Andre Majorel]

Package: util-linux
Version: 2.12r-15
Severity: normal

The sfdisk(8) man page reads, in the INPUT FORMAT section,

Fields are separated by whitespace, or comma or semicolon
possibly followed  by whitespace; initial and trailing
whitespace is ignored.

There are several problems with this sentence :

1. "separated by whitespace" is misleading. It can and will be
   understood to mean that fields are separated by a run of one or
   more white space characters. This is not the case. There can be
   exactly one white space character between fields.

2. "separated by whitespace" is inaccurate. Examination of the
   source reveals that lines are split on space or HT, not isspace().

3. "possibly followed by whitespace" is inaccurate. sfdisk sees ", "
as two field separators, not one.

Suggested short-term fix : rewrite the sentence as :

Fields are separated by a single space, tab, comma or semicolon.

Bug#405751: lde: cannot open large regular files

[Andre Majorel]

Package: lde
Version: 2.6.0-7.1
Severity: normal

lde aborts if you try to run it on a 250-GB regular file :

  # dd bs=1 seek=250G count=1 if=/dev/zero of=bigfile
  # lde bigfile
  No write access to "bigfile",  attempting to open read-only.
  Unable to open 'bigfile'

Reproducible on both ext3 and XFS filesystems. What happens is
that open(2) fails with EFBIG :

  # strace -o lde.strace lde bigfile
  # grep open lde.strace
  open("/etc/mtab", O_RDONLY) = 3
  open("bigfile", O_RDWR) = -1 EFBIG (File too large)
  open("bigfile", O_RDONLY)   = -1 EFBIG (File too large)
  write(2, "Unable to open \'bigfile\'\n", 25) = 25

Would lde happen to be compiled without -D _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 ?

Riccardo,

you didn't CC me so I just saw your message.

Yes, bug #345700 sounds like it's the same bug as #395213.

Adding « Option "XaaNoSolidFillRect" » to the relevant "Device"
section in xorg.conf indeed appears to fix the problem reported in
bug #395213.

Hi Jonas. I could but it's not accessible from the outside.
Here's a similar setup on a publicly accessible server :

  ftp://www.arkeia.com/pub/arkeia-4.2/aix/aix3.2/rs6000/

Galeon, Firefox, lynx and ftp(1) all see the file and report the
correct size :

  client.tar1100 KB  07/28/03 00:00:00
  dontlook   3073024 KB  12/15/06 19:08:00

Elinks 0.11.1 from Debian testing shows only :

  client.tar1100 KB  07/28/03 00:00:00

The 3-GB file was created with :

  dd if=/dev/zero of=dontlook bs=1024k count=1 seek=3000

The FTP server is a Debian 3.1 running psa-proftpd
1.3.0-debian3.1.build81061129.22. The original (inaccessible)
server was a Debian testing running proftpd 1.3.0-16.

In case it's of any use to you, here's what I see from home :

Bug#403139: elinks: 3 GB-file does not appear in FTP directory listing

[Andre Majorel]

Package: elinks
Version: 0.11.1-1.2
Severity: normal

A 3 GB-file in a directory on an FTP server does not appear in the
directory listing. The same file shows with ftp(1) and IceWeasel.

I suspect that Elinks uses 32-bit arithmetic, sees a file between
2 GB and 4 GB as having a negative size and choses to sweep it
under the carpet for fear of looking ridiculous.

Bug#395213: xserver-xorg-video-nv: Display bug in Firefox text entry boxes

[Andre Majorel]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-nv
Version: 1:1.0.1.5-2
Severity: normal

With an i386 testing system, up to date as of 2006-10-24 :

Start Firefox (1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.7-1). Enter some text in a text
entry box (E.G. the URL entry widget). Press [left] to move the
cursor left. If the cursor was "on" when you pressed [left], the
cursor is redrawn at the new position but the old position is not
cleared. If you keep [left] depressed, the cursor keeps moving,
leaving a trace behind it.

What you see initially :

What you see after moving the cursor all the way to the left :

  http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/misc/firefox-nv-display-bug-2.png

This happens with the nv driver but not with the vesa driver.
