Bug#961366: /usr/bin/ncal: -b ignores locale and -s for Gregorian adoption date

2020-05-23 Thread Carl W. 

Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 11.1.2+b1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/ncal

Dear Maintainer,

I was interested in [n]cal's behaviour around the Gregorian adoption
dates and noticed that ncal -b defaults to October 1582 regardless of
locale or -s specified country code, whereas plain "cal" uses the locale
correctly.

There follows an example shell session. Use of the "env" command is to
ensure shell aliases and functions are not responsible for the
unexpected behaviour.

Best Regards,
Carl W.

Bug#343680: Does not correctly unzip links; previous version worked fine

2005-12-16 Thread Carl W. Hoffman 
Package: unzip
Version: 5.52-1sarge2
Severity: important


Unzipping a zipfile containing links which link to files later in the zipfile 
now fails.
It worked before the most recent release of unzip.

If you type "unzip" with no arguments, the -bad- version will print:

  UnZip 5.52 of 28 February 2005, by Debian. Original by Info-ZIP.

However, the -good- version will print:

  UnZip 5.52 of 28 February 2005, by Info-ZIP.  Maintained by C. Spieler.  Send
  bug reports using http://www.info-zip.org/zip-bug.html; see README for 
details.

The -good- version prints "finishing deferred symbolic links" when unzipping a 
zipfile
which contains symbolic links.  The -bad- version does not do this.
