Bug#1054904:

[Chris Carr]

Hi,

(Apologies for the delay, I didn't get a copy of that reply, which I think
is because I am only uploader now not maintainer.)

Thanks - I understand now. The only things stored outside the personal
space (~/.angband/) are the save files and the high score file.
Older versions had private score files - it wasn't possible to have
system-wide score files due to a security bug in gtk that prevented
building the package with setgid. Now gtk has been deprecated upstream the
package is built with setgid so that all users feature in the same high
score file - but of course it started blank, because it's a new one in a
new place.

So I don't think either you or anyone else has actually lost anything - but
you're right that it's worth a mention in NEWS.Debian in case people want
to go hunting for their old private high score file.

Best

Chris

Bug#1055413: Upgrade ignores /etc/unsupported-skip-usrmerge-conversion

[Chris Carr]

Package: usr-is-merged
Version: 38
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,



   * What led up to the situation?



Upgrading my schroot



   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or

 ineffective)?



sudo sbuild-update -udcar -u



   * What was the outcome of this action?



Preparing to unpack .../usr-is-merged_38_all.deb ...





**

*

*The usr-is-merged package cannot be installed because this system does

*not have a merged /usr.

*

*Please install the usrmerge package to convert this system to merged-/usr.

*

*For more information please read https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge.

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

E: apt-get dist-upgrade failed





   * What outcome did you expect instead?



A silent upgrade of usr-is-merged from v37 to v38.



I have been using sbuild and schroot for ~3 months and this is the first
time I have had this error – so I assume it is related to the new v38
package. My schroot contains the file
/etc/unsupported-skip-usrmerge-conversion – presumably because it uses
overlayfs. This prevents me installing usrmerge manually and fixing the
broken upgrade. I assume what is supposed to happen is that usr-is-merged
is supposed to upgrade silently, having clocked the /etc/unsupported- file
and accepted that this system is not going to do the merge.



Grateful for any tips that will allow me to resume using sbuild and
schroot.



Thanks



Chris

Bug#1054904: Missing user data

[Chris Carr]

Hi,

After an eight year gap I'm afraid save files were not compatible anyway,
but please could you expand on what you mean by character history? Which
files are missing? Most personal stuff should be in ~/.angband/Angband,
which is not cleansed. I didn't have anything in /var/games/angband when I
tested the package, so curious to know what you lost.

Thanks

Chris

Thank you for the comprehensive explanation. I'm glad that the problem was
avoided for Ubuntu users. I am not a fan of TPM but accept that it is
inevitable. I agree that your BootNext idea is better in that context.

But this still leaves the user significantly worse off than before the
update. A very small proportion of users will be knowledgeable enough to
write their own /etc/grub.d file without instructions (I'm not) or
confident enough to re-enable OS-prober after the update tells them it's an
attack vector (I am).

It feels like the correct behaviour is to look at the existing entries at
the start of the update and write a grub.d file on the user's behalf. There
aren't going to be many users who want to lose access to an OS on updating
grub.

I just wanted to add my 2p to this as I have just had the same experience -
I have just updated my Linux installation, and rebooted to find that my
Windows installation is no longer available. I had to go and look up
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER, find it in /etc/default/grub, then change it, then
run update-grub, then reboot again.

It's fine to change the default behaviour, but it's not fine to remove OSs
that are already configured in grub before the upgrade. This is definitely
a bug.

Bug#799358: Angband 4.2.x is out and is Free

[Chris Carr]

Right, that's definitely a sign - two people contacting me in the space 
of a couple of weeks! I hereby undertake to update the Angband package 
in 2023, and if I fail I will orphan it. I have re-established contact 
with upstream, who are also keen to see a new package.

Life unfortunately got not easier for most of us in 2020 ff., I hope you
have survived the pandemic.  Currently angband upstream is at version
4.2.4, do you think you can package it this year?  If not, it might be
better to let the package go (i.e. orphan it).

Hi,

Please could you expand on this slightly. I just upgraded my server from

trac has been removed. I've been using it for 11 years, I run my whole 
life with it. It's never caused me any problems at all - please could 
you explain why it is not suitable for inclusion in bullseye? What is it 
that I am not seeing or experiencing in my daily use of it?


Also, please could you recommend an alternative ticket management 
package that is included in bullseye. Preferably one that will import my 
trac db so I don't have to re-enter 11 years of history.

Bug#923746: dnsmasq: ra advertises wrong ipv6 link MTU

[Chris Carr]

reassign 923746 sysctl

thanks



Thank you, and apologies for the noise.


int0 is the LAN interface, on which dnsmasq serves both ipv4 and ipv6 
requests for dns and dhcp.


he-ipv6 is the tunnel out to the world (via ext0).


You are correct that dnsmasq is correctly advertising the int0 mtu 
rather than the he-ipv6 mtu.


The problem is that sysctl is not setting 
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/int0/mtu to 1280, despite the fact that this is 
set explicitly in /etc/sysctl.conf


So I think I need to reassign this bug to sysctl

There seem to be two different interfaces here. It looks like dnsmasq
may be advertising on int0 with the MTU for int0, and I'm not clear
where he-ipv6 comes into the equation.

Bug#923746: dnsmasq: ra advertises wrong ipv6 link MTU

[Chris Carr]

Package: dnsmasq
Version: 2.76-5+deb9u1
Severity: normal
Tags: ipv6

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

My browsing from my Windows box suddenly went weird

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?

I checked the MTU sizes the Windows box was using: 1500 for both ipv4 
and ipv6. The ipv6 one should be 1280 (I'm using an HE tunnel). So I 
fixed it in windows using


netsh interface ipv6 set subinterface "Local Area Connection" mtu=1280 
store=persistent


   * What was the outcome of this action?

Minutes later it was back to 1500 so I looked at my dnsmasq.conf 
(attached) - all seems tickety boo so I checked 
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/he-ipv6/mtu and that is correctly set to 1280, 
so for some reason dnsmasq is not picking that up and advertising it for 
my he-ipv6 interface. I checked with wireshark and the ra packets are 
being sent out with MTU 1500 not 1280.


   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected Windows to receive the correct MTU size of 1280 as set in 
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/he-ipv6/mtu


Many thanks for a great piece of software,

I've just had this problem after installing jessie on an old 32-bit 
system (Asus A7N8X, AthlonXP2600+, 2GB RAM, NV11 gfx card). Really glad 
to find this bug (and the associated ones for gdm3). I replaced gdm3 
with lightdm and gnome3 with xfce and everything works fine. Props to 
debian for making the switch completely painless.

Bug#813940: forked-daapd: Fails to scrobble plays to lastfm

[Chris Carr]

Package: forked-daapd
Version: 22.0-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I played some songs and checked my lastfm profile

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?

I followed the instructions to put my lastfm credentials into a temporary file
which would enable forked-daapd to obtain a lastfm session key when it started
up. 

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The log file (attached) shows that forked-daapd obtained a lastfm session key,
but none of my plays have been scrobbled.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected each played track to be scrobbled, either as it finished, or every
hour, or something.

Kind regards,

Chris

Bug#799358: angband: Version bump to 4.0.2 needed

[Chris Carr]

4.0 is a code rewrite of 3.5, which is already packaged. There are no
gameplay differences, and a host of new bugs. I will package 4.0, but it is
not urgent.

Bug#778811: And the bad news is ...

[Chris Carr]

... unfortunately that fix (commit 2100ecd) is already contained in 
3.5.1 - which means that it does not fix the issue on all consoles.


Please could you reopen ticket #1813 upstream, note that it's still 
extant in 3.5.1 and link to this bug, and provide as much info as you 
can about the type of console you're using. We do have a console guru on 
the devteam so should be able to get to the bottom of this.


Many thanks,

Chris

Bug#778427: lintian: Possible improvement to description-synopsis-might-not-be-phrased-properly

[Chris Carr]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.30+deb8u3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Novice maintainer here: lintian failed to detect that I had started a second
sentence on the first line of the Description: field in debian/control. If as
well as checking for a period at the end of the first line lintian checked for
a period+space anywhere on the first line, this kind of error would be flagged
before submission.

Not a top priority of course, but perhaps helpful.

Kind regards,

Chris

Bug#669954: Advice needed

[Chris Carr]

Hi,

So I've packaged the new version (3.5.1) and I've removed all the 
obsolete files listed in this bug report, in the configure section of 
postinst.


When I tested the new 3.5.1 package, dpkg -s told me that two more 
conffiles were now obsolete: pref/font-mac.prf and edit/shop-own.txt. So 
I edited postinst to remove these also, and rebuilt the 3.5.1 package - 
but now piuparts fails the upgrade test (from 3.3.2-2.1):


5m5.2s DEBUG: Starting command: ['debsums', '--root', '/tmp/tmphx0OYv', 
'-ac']

5m7.9s DUMP:
  debsums: missing file /tmp/tmphx0OYv/etc/angband/pref/font-mac.prf 
(from angband package)
5m7.9s DEBUG: Command failed (status=2), but ignoring error: ['debsums', 
'--root', '/tmp/tmphx0OYv', '-ac']

5m7.9s ERROR: FAIL: debsums reports modifications inside the chroot:
  debsums: missing file /etc/angband/pref/font-mac.prf (from angband 
package)


I don't understand why the error is only occurring on this file and not 
on any of the others listed in this bug report. (There is no longer any 
reference to font-mac.prf anywhere in the source.) I think I am 
misunderstanding something about how dpkg tags and deals with conffiles.


(I realise this probably isn't the best place to ask this question, but 
I don't know where to go for interactive help with packaging, as I 
currently have no mentor.)


Any tips appreciated - 3.5.1 is otherwise ready for upload, but I'm keen 
to ship it without any obsolete config files left after upgrading.


Thanks,

Chris

Bug#737789: Cannot reproduce this bug

[Chris Carr]

tags 737789 moreinfo
thanks

When I apt-get install angband 3.3.2-2.1, I see three icons appearing in 
my gnome3 applications menu:


angband(GTK)
angband(X11)
angband(SDL)

All three have the same Mr Att icon (an @ symbol wearing a cap).

Please could you explain in more detail on which menu of which platform 
or window manager the icons are missing.

Bug#732253: Cannot reproduce this bug

[Chris Carr]

Thank you for the comprehensive report.

I cannot reproduce this bug on any of my systems running jessie or sid 
(I cannot test on wheezy). But it has also been reported in the Ubuntu 
version of this package: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/angband/+bug/1309711


I share your suspicion that this is a bug in libsdl-ttf2.0, but am 
uncertain of my grounds for reassigning the bug. If any more experienced 
maintainers/DDs are reading this, any advice appreciated.

Hmm, if you are on an emergency shell, I guess the system is not
properly booted, are all partitions mounted? Otherwise there's no
wonder things are not being configured correctly.

If that's the case, then this is probably a problem with your init
system or thereabouts.

Yes I think that's exactly the case, though as you can see from the 
forum thread I dare not hypothesise that these problems have arisen 
because this update has introduced systemd.


My best guess (and I am not an expert by any means) is that there is 
some memory corruption or overflow in the init system which is polluting 
everything else, including dpkg. I do not understand what task 
(plymouth) is or why it keeps being blocked, and I do not know which 
process is sending Hangup to dpkg.


On mounting, the root filesystem mounts ok (/dev/dm-2) and contains all 
the linux directories including /usr, /home, /usr/local etc. etc. The 
filesystems which fail to mount are all Windows ones, which are 
obviously irrelevant at this stage.


Many thanks again - any further tips appreciated.

Bug#775065: dpkg --configure -a results in Hangup after first package

[Chris Carr]

On 11/01/2015 19:25, Michael Biebl wrote:

Is your system fully booted or did systemd drop you into emergency
shell? How are you logged into your system?

The default boot drops me into an emergency shell. It was not fully booted.


Assuming, the sysvinit is still installed (which should be the case on
upgrades), please select the sysvinit option from the grub extended menu.
If it's not available, boot with init=/lib/sysvinit/init

Does that change anything?

Yes! Thank you, thank you.

Selecting the (sysvinit) option from the grub extended menu results in a 
full boot: gdm3 doesn't start but I do get a login prompt. After logging 
in, sudo dpkg --configure -a actually worked. This meant that I could 
complete a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.


All packages are now fully configured except gkrellmd (which I removed 
to ensure everything is clean).


I still cannot start gdm3:

chrisc@tony:~$ sudo invoke-rc.d gdm3 start
[] Starting GNOME Display Manager: gdm3[ 1094.663256] 
systemd-logind[9907]: Failed to enable subscription: Launch helper

 failed!
invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm3, action start failed.
chrisc@tony:~$

There seem to be two problems there: one is gdm3 not starting, and the 
other is logind complaining about not being fully started.


So, now that I can boot using sysvinit, what tests should I do to try 
and debug what is going on with the systemd boot? I can now produce 
logfiles, run reportbug etc. etc.


Thanks to all for helping me recover my system,

Ok then this looks like someone is either forcibly hanging up the
terminal or sending a SIGHUP to dpkg? Which indicates that whoever
is managing it is messing this up, my assumption is either systemd
or plymouth. I've reassigned to the former and also CCed the latter,
so they can investigate further, and reassign if necessary.

Ok. Maybe as a wild guess, try booting w/o the splash kernel option if
you've got it enabled (see bug #602331)? If that fixes the issue then
it would need to be reassigned to plymouth.

No, I can confirm that adding the nosplash parameter to the grub 
kernel line does not fix the problem. dpkg still receives the Hangup as 
before.


Very grateful for any further advice from systemd or plymouth folks. The 
system is not fixable until I can run dpkg successfully and 
configure/install/remove packages.


Thanks,

Chris

$ ls -al /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper

Attached as dbus.txt

invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm3, action start failed.
chrisc@tony:~$

There seem to be two problems there: one is gdm3 not starting, and the
other is logind complaining about not being fully started.

Is the dbus package installed? What's the output of systemctl status
dbus.socket dbus.service?

Failed to get D-Bus connection: Unknown error -1

You might consider attaching the full output of the systemd state via
systemd-analyze dump


Failed issue method call: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1


I will try booting using systemd tomorrow and address your other points. 
Thank you again for your time,

Bug#775065: dpkg --configure -a results in Hangup after first package

[Chris Carr]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.17.23

Hi,

I have been away from Debian development for over a year due to some RL 
issues. I booted my Sid box and did apt-get update and then upgrade, and 
everything went wrong. Full story (badly told) is at


http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5t=119834

The issue I have now is that whenever I try to use apt-get I am told 
 dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to 
correct the problem. Running this as root results in


Setting up cups-daemon (1.7.5-10) ...
Hangup

... without that package being configured, nor any others.

If this is not a bug in dpkg, please could someone tell me how to go 
about diagnosing and correcting it? I need to be able to finish 
installing and configuring the ~55 half-done packages so that I can get 
my system working again. At the moment it doesn't boot properly and 
drops me into emergency mode. I cannot run openssh-server or reportbug.


Thanks in advance for any help, and apologies for (mis)using the BTS in 
desperation. Google tells me that nobody else has reported this set of 
issues anywhere.

Bug#766900: network-manager: postinst fails to restart NM

[Chris Carr]

Package: network-manager

Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

sudo apt-get upgrade tried to install new version of NM:

Bug#737249: Getting back to Angband

[Chris Carr]

Hi,

I'm sorry for the delay in packaging new versions of Angband. I lost my
sponsor so 3.4.0 never got uploaded. I have been through a divorce so have
been away from Debian for a year or so. I'm now back and hoping to upload
angband 3.5.0 to mentors.debian.net in the next month or two.

I have also packaged angband-audio, containing free sounds for the game. I
will re-upload that to mentors too and hope that someone sponsors them both.

Bug#684166: Unwilling to run setgid

[Chris Carr]

Hi,

The shared score file was abandoned because it required angband to run
setgid, which caused security issues. Admittedly these were originally only
relevant to the gtk build (which was removed in 3.4.0 anyway), but the
upstream devteam decided on private-dirs as the way forward. The scoring
mechanism has been very broken for a long time anyway!

So although I'll leave the bug open in case others want to comment, I won't
build angband with setgid for the time being.

Thanks for the report. The build should depend on ncursesw-dev now, but

Dear Maintainer,

It looks that -mgcu option is missing in the newest Angband. The trouble maybe 
is in linking with ncurses. A version from /debian/angband after building with 
debuild -us -uc -b is working good and have console support.

Bug#694929: Default behaviour must change

[Chris Carr]

Josselin Mouette said:

 I’m not sure it’s a good idea to include use of an experimental API
right before a stable release…

This is true, but it's an even worse idea to have a stable release ship
with an unmodified default installation of gnome resulting in an
unusable interface. 

The best interim solution might be to fall back to Gnome Classic for
these cards, with an advisory message about this bug.

Bug#681961: openvpn: Please try the offered patch

[Chris Carr]

Package: openvpn
Version: 2.2.1-8
Followup-For: Bug #681961

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I want my VPN server to bridge its TAP interface with its internal ethernet
interface, and then I want dnsmasq and shorewall to operate on the bridged
interface and provide masquerading services for the rest of the LAN.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?

I configured openvpn to make the bridge on int0 from old0 and tap0, and start
the server on tap0.

I added openvpn to the Required-Start lines in /etc/init.d/dnsmasq and 
/etc/init.d/shorewall, and configured both to operate on int0.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

dnsmasq and shorewall start too quickly, and the masquerading from int0 to ext0
does not work.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

dnsmasq and shorewall should start only after the bridging is complete, so that
the rest of the LAN has full internet access.

At the moment I have to restart shorewall and dnsmasq manually after every boot.

Very happy to do further testing - I think the patch Lars provided may be the
answer.

Many thanks,

Chris

Bug#697646: forked-daapd: Segfaults during initial scan of library

[Chris Carr]

Package: forked-daapd
Version: 0.19gcd-2.1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I installed and started the forked-daapd daemon.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?

Absolutely nothing. After seeing the successful start of the daemon noted with:

Starting RSP and DAAP media server: forked-daapd.

... I watched the songs3.db file in /var/cache/forked-daapd grow slowly 
as it scanned my music library.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

forked-daapd segfaults every time I start it, after 20-40s of scanning. 
The segfault isn't always the same:

Jan  6 23:07:18 fatboy kernel: [4361372.694362] forked-daapd[19402]: segfault 
at 145 ip b695f4ba sp 552435a0 error 6 in

Jan  6 23:12:33 fatboy kernel: [4361687.121559] forked-daapd[20420]: segfault 
at 2c ip b6a8194b sp 450e83a0 error 4 in libavcodec.so.53.35.0[b6996000+753000]
Jan  6 23:12:33 fatboy kernel: [4361687.123138] forked-daapd[20426]: segfault 
at 2c ip b6a8194b sp 430e43a0 error 4 in libavcodec.so.53.35.0[b6996000+753000]

As far as I can tell, it's not barfing on a particular song. I attach 
forked-daapd.log showing the latest startup attempt with debug-level 
logging, and the kern.log file showing the specific segfault for that 
attempt.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected forked-daapd to add every tune in my library to songs3.db, 
ignore any file that isn't a music file, and not crash.

Very happy to do more specific testing. Thank you very much for your 
work on forked-daapd. I am upgrading from mt-daapd for m4a support.

Regards,

Chris

Bug#669954: Obsolete conffiles in /etc/angband/pref/ not cleaned up on upgrade

 dpkg does not automatically remove conffiles on upgrade when a package
 stops shipping them.  angband needs to clean up the obsolete conffiles
[snip]
 in its maintainer scripts, using dpkg-maintscript-helper.  Please see
 the manpage of dpkg-maintscript-helper for details.

Ok, thanks for the report. Version 3.4.0 is due out quite soon, so
I'll fix this in the new version.

 You can/should edit /etc/grub.d/30_otheros instead.

Many thanks Ian - apologies for my lack of understanding. This bug isn't
in grub, as update-grub is simply re-using the incorrect 30_otheros
every time. Is it ok to reassign it to os-prober, or do I need to do
some more testing first? Perhaps it's best to close it, and then reopen
it if I see the bug reappear on another install? (As I said in my first
post, it's been around for a year or two, so may well have been fixed in
d-i)

Bug#651106: grub-pc: Windows XP partition assigned wrong root partition

[Chris Carr]

Package: grub-pc

Version: 1.99-14
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

For some time now - all the updates to the grub-pc package in the last year or
two - my Win XP partition is detected, but it is given the wrong menu entry:

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_otheros ###

# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS
# on /dev/sde1
menuentry Windows XP Media Center Edition {
set root=(hd0,0)
chainloader +1
}
### END /etc/grub.d/30_otheros ###

... this should be (hd0,1). I can edit grub.cfg manually and it works fine,
but every time the package is updated, grub.cfg is regenerated and it is 
detected incorrectly again.

Happy to provide further info and/or run tests.

Regards,

Chris

Thank you. I don't understand how piuparts said all tests passed and
let this through, but I assume this is an edge case of a new package
conflicting with an existing package. We live and learn. I'm building
3.3.2-2 now, and if my mentor forgives this error it should be uploaded
shortly ;-)

Bug#543718: gkrelltopd: Solution not effective

[Chris Carr]

Package: gkrelltopd
Version: 2.2.13-1
Severity: normal


So I tried Ahmad Khayyat's solution, and it does not solve the problem for me.
I am still seeing near-instant segfaults at step 4. I am intrigued by the
claim that it worked repeatedly across different machines and releases - it
would be helpful if we could capture the exact command sequence. I did this:

1. There was no client gkrellm config to delete (exactly which files??)

2. sudo nano /etc/gkrellmd.conf - commented out the gkrelltopd line
   sudo invoke-rc.d gkrellmd restart

3. gkrellm -s server , enabled gkrelltop plugin - as stated, this works
   without errors but indeed shows the client processes not the server ones.

3[sic]. sudo nano /etc/gkrellmd.conf - uncommented the gkrelltopd line
sudo invoke-rc.d gkrellmd restart

4. gkrellm -s server  - segfault within 5s.

Grateful to know what I'm doing wrong, or anything else to test.

Thanks,

CC

Bug#568164: dnsmasq and openvpn

[Chris Carr]

Simon Kelley wrote:
The problem seems to have morphed from failure to install packages
because of insserv errors, to bad start-up order of daemons. Is that
right? There shouldn't be a problem with dnsmasq starting before
openvpn, for most common configurations dnsmasq will pick up the
existence of the vpn interfaces as they arrive.

Yes, sorry, the problem did indeed morph. In fact it's entirely possible 
that my original non-bug was caused by my clumsy editing of 
/etc/init.d/dnsmasq.


But I have torn out most of my remaining hair over the startup problem. 
For a long time dnsmasq actually failed during startup, and I had to 
start it manually after logging in. The very latest upgrade[*] changed 
this - the vpn came up much more quickly, and dnsmasq started fine. 
Despite this, masquerading still wasn't working - although the server 
was happily connected, no other machines could get out to the net until 
I restarted dnsmasq.


Apologies for the ongoing saga, but it would be nice to understand the 
problem one day. I attach my current dnsmasq.conf, openvpn server.conf 
and bridge-start script.


Cheers,

CC

 Isn't there an autopoint package nowadays?

Further to my last email, pbuilder confirms that cvs is no longer a
build dependency, so I have removed it.

 It might make sense to test with automake1.4 installed the automake
 alternative set to point at it, to see if Build-Conflicts: automake1.4
 is needed.

I checked this, and the build works fine with both 1.4 and 1.11 of
automake.

Bug#620490: dpkg-dev: Please ignore .git* by default

Bug#619695: angband: bashism in configure.ac

[Chris Carr]

Hi Jonathan - many thanks for taking the time to offer such thorough
advice. 

 1. Where is the upstream source?
 
 
 Running uscan --force-download produces
 
 |  uscan warning: In debian/watch,
 |no matching hrefs for watch line
 |
 http://rephial.org/downloads/3.2/angband-([0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9][a-z]?)\-src\.tar\.gz
 
 and no upstream tarball.

Thank you for the catch - upstream has changed its naming convention and
no longer uses the -src part of the name. I have amended debian/watch
accordingly. (I assume the line opts=dversionmangle=s/\-src$// \ was
supposed to deal with this change, but somehow fails to do so.)

   debian/copyright says the upstream sources
 were obtained from
 
 |  git://github.com/angband/angband.git

This is the upstream master from which my git repo on alioth is
mirrored. I have changed this to refer to the official download named in
the watch file.

 debian/rules get-orig-source says

 I would have expected the first two to get a pristine upstream tarball,
 the third to produce a repacked one if necessary (e.g., if building from
 a snapshot).

All three should now get the same tarball, though in my tests,

It is because debian/rules clean calls make distclean more than once.

produced by configure, and are not part of the source archive. They need

Thank you for the catch. I have raised this upstream, and if it doesn't

Bug#619369: epiphany-browser: Cannot sell on eBay

[Chris Carr]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.30.6-1
Severity: normal

Hi. When attempting to sell an item at www.ebay.co.uk, the mandatory PayPal
payment method is somehow not tagged properly when the page is rendered in
epiphany. Firing up iceweasel on the same system results in the same page
rendering properly and eBay allowing the listing to complete.

Unfortunately due to eBay's session management setup I cannot provide a link
to this stage in the sales listing process, but it's the page after you select
a category, where you enter all the details about the item (photo, description,
etc.). The error occurs when you click continue, eBay says You must accept
PayPal as a payment method, and there is nothing to check or click on to make
that happen (it should be automatic, but something is going wrong). 

Regards,

CC

Bug#568164: dnsmasq: Upgrade fails claiming requirement for openvpn

  Ironically the problem was the opposite: the Provides: line in

  openvpn, it worked. 
  
  But my main concern is: should the user have to add that dependency manually
  to make dnsmasq and openvpn work together? Isn't there a way that the
  package configuration can do this automatically?
  
 
 For me, it works fine without any mention at all of vpn or openvpn in
 /etc/init.d/dnsmasq. Is that not the case for you?

Hi Simon,

Sorry for the long delay - the server in question only reboots about
twice a year, and I have been trying different solutions each time. 

The short answer is no, I cannot get this to work properly, whatever I
do or don't change in /etc/init.d/dnsmasq. The vpn is always the very
last thing to start up before gdm, and I don't really understand why. I
have not changed /etc/init.d/openvpn since it was installed:

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:  openvpn
# Required-Start:$network $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop: $network $remote_fs $syslog
# X-Interactive: true
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:  0 1 6
# Short-Description: Openvpn VPN service
### END INIT INFO

Is yours the same? And does your VPN start up before the starting
dnsmasq message when you boot? 

I'm very grateful for your continued thoughts on what might be the
problem. I wouldn't mind the VPN taking so long to start up if I could
make dnsmasq wait for it!

Chris

Transcoding is handled by ssc-ffmpeg, ssc-script has been deprecated for
quite a while.


Apologies - I did not know that. The ssc-ffmpeg plugin loads correctly, 
so I do not understand the problem. The symptoms are as follows:


rhythmbox, which plays FLACs natively, plays from the daap stream 
without problems


winamp, which does not play FLACs, plays only those songs in the daap 
stream which are not FLACs (e.g. mp3s etc.), and skips all the FLACs.


I therefore assumed that the FLACs are not being transcoded. It is 
possible that this assumption is incorrect and there is some other 
problem with winamp. Is there some debug output I can ask mt-daapd to 
log so that I can see whether it is transcoding FLACs?


Thanks,

Bug#595427: ITP: winetricks -- Quick and dirty script todownload and install variousredistributable runtime libraries

[Chris Carr]

Are we in danger of making the best the enemy of the good? Packaging
winetricks as-is would be helpful: making it a part of the packaging system,
keeping it up-to-date, maybe adding a man page. 

Massive integration of distributable libraries into wine, and/or the
creation of a wine-nonfree package with more of same, are great ideas. But
they're also a lot more work than just packaging winetricks. So maybe let
the simple one be done first, and take the pressure off those who need more
time to do the trickier work?

If the new winetricks package were to be called wine-nonfree, that would lay
the foundations for later efforts ...

  It's a massive script, so the file count of 1 doesn't 
 really matter.  Also,
  it needs to update more often than wine proper, as it 
 refers to outside
  locations.
  
  I'd vote for having it as a separate package.
 
 It'd rather make sense to create a wine-nonfree which includes the
 libraries that we are allowed to redistribute, and downloads the
 others.
 
 Then it makes of course sense to have it as an seperate package (and
 with e.g. cmake I'm even not sure if we couldn't take the free version
 of it into wine proper).
 
 In other words, there will be some massive integration effort into
 debian, so winetricks won't look like the current script. Which is
 something that should be done.

 Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2010 12:36:50 +0200
 
 This bug is due to a missing space in the warning message. It has been
 reported upstream on the courier users mailing list:

So could someone please upload a version of courier-base with the
missing space reinserted? It seems like that would be a more helpful
solution than bickering about fam v gamin etc.

 For me, it works fine without any mention at all of vpn or openvpn in
 /etc/init.d/dnsmasq. Is that not the case for you?

No - I added the dependency in the first place because last time I
rebooted dnsmasq came up before the vpn bridge, causing all sorts of
problems. If your vpn doesn't use a bridge, it probably wouldn't be an
issue.

Bug#576029: ITP: angband-audio -- Non-free sound files for the angband game

[Chris Carr]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Chris Carr ranting...@gmail.com


* Package name: angband-audio
  Version : 3.1.0
  Upstream Author : Dubtrain angb...@dubtrain.com
* URL : http://www.dubtrain.com/angband
* License : CC BY-NC-SA
  Programming Lang: n/a
  Description : Non-free sound files for the angband game

Dubtrain has produced free high quality audio files for use with the angband 
package. His choice of licence means that they must be provided in Debian's 
non-free section. Since great efforts have been made to ensure that the main 
angband game can be provided under the GPL, it seems sensible to package the 
non-free sounds separately.

Bug#568164: dnsmasq: Upgrade fails claiming requirement for openvpn

[Chris Carr]

 What's in the Provides: line in your /etc/init.d/openvpn file? The
 original error message:
 
 insserv: Service vpn has to be enabled to start service dnsmasq
 
 is confusing because a new install of openvpn 2.1.0-1 gives Provides:
 openvpn. Looking through the changelog for open vpn this 
 changed vpn -
 openvpn in openvpn 2.1~rc20-1. If you have an old version of that
 configfile, it may explain the problem.

Ironically the problem was the opposite: the Provides: line in
/etc/init.d/openvpn said openvpn, but I had added a dependency on vpn to
the Required-Start line in /etc/init.d/dnsmasq. Once I changed this to
openvpn, it worked. 

But my main concern is: should the user have to add that dependency manually
to make dnsmasq and openvpn work together? Isn't there a way that the
package configuration can do this automatically?

Hi there,

I'm slightly at a loss about what to do next, since I can't reproduce
the problem with inserv  1.12.0-14 and openvpn  2.1.0-1 don't really
understand how it's supposed to work in the first place.

As you have the only current known example of a system which
demonstrates this behaviour, can you find any other information? (I'm
not sure what: maybe insserv -v would be useful)


Well, I managed to solve the problem, by adding openvpn at the end of 
the Required-Start line in /etc/init.d/dnsmasq.


I won't close the bug report because I'm not sure how a user would know 
that that needed to be done - I only discovered it by some trial and 
error. I'm afraid I don't know enough about the service startup logic to 
know whether dnsmasq should try to detect the presence of openvpn, or 
whether openvpn should really be covered by $network (on which dnsmasq 
already depends), or what. The bug may not actually be in dnsmasq.


Sorry not to be more useful,

CC

Bug#568001: Any progress on this?

[Chris Carr]

This bug is still showing as a critical blocker when I try to apt-get
upgrade my Sid box. It doesn't seem like much is happening - if it's
safe for most users, can it be downgraded in severity? If it's not safe
for most users, when can we expect a fixed version?

Bug#573117: angband: Old/Unreadable savefile keeps game from loading

 Package: angband
 Version: 1:3.1.1.1626-1
 Severity: normal
 
 When I try to start the game from an xterm with no switches a window loads 
 with the message:
 
 Error (Unreadable savefile (too old?)) reading 3.0.10 savefile . 
 
 and then fails to load. 
 
 I've looked all over my home directory for the old savefile and can't find 
 it. 
 
 If I start a new character with 'angband -uBob' or whatever it works fine. I 
 just can't start
 it with the unadorned 'angband' command.
 
 At the very least I think there should be some mention in README.debian of 
 how to nuke your old savefile.

In fact, the next version changes where save files are stored, so this
problem will go away. But I have in any case added a note to
README.debian in case people actually want to transfer their old save
file. (If a subsequent version breaks savefiles again, I'll amend the
note in README.debian to avoid this problem reoccurring.)

Thanks for the report,

Bug#557425: Same problem as #518835

[Chris Carr]

Hi folks,

Just wanted to chime in and say I reported this same bug several months
ago as #518835, and was brushed off with run grub-install to fix the
problem. Not particularly helpful once the system was unbootable. I
have subsequently had three separate machines rendered unbootable due to
poor handling of GRUB upgrades to GRUB2.

Let us hope these bugs are fixed before Squeeze is released to the world
as stable, or a lot of servers are going to stop booting.

Bug#547261: More info needed

[Chris Carr]

Hi Josh,

Which display module are you using, -mgcu, -mx11 or -msdl?

If it's -mx11, are you running with the main Angband window maximised?

Grateful if you could report on whether this happens with -msdl, and
with -mx11 without a maximised window. I use -mx11 a lot and don't see
this problem, but one person on the angband-dev mailing list reported
seeing it when running with the window maximised. If you see it without,
please post detailed system specs and what else is running - I'll try
and pin down what's causing this behaviour, because it's not consistent.

Regards,

Chris

Bug#556284: network-manager: forces browser into offline mode and prevents pidgin from connecting

[Chris Carr]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.1-2
Severity: normal

On my Squeeze system network-manager seems incapable of recognising that the 
network is functioning perfectly well. It forces epiphany (or firefox, or 
whichever) to start in offline mode, and it prevents pidgin from connecting any 
accounts on startup. On opening the gnome network manager applet, there appears 
to be no way to override this error. Googling for solutions leads to disabling 
network-manager altogether, which is presumably not what you want users to do.

Bug#556385: gkrellmd: no longer finds mbmon

[Chris Carr]

Package: gkrellmd
Version: 2.3.2-4
Severity: normal


mbmon is running on its default port (411), and /etc/gkrellmd.conf has the 
correct port configured. It's been taking sensor info from mbmon for years - 
just broke in a recent package upgrade. Not sure which package is to blame, but 
mbmon seems to be functioning as well as ever.

Bug#556233: regression: no longer updates ipod playlists

[Chris Carr]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.12.5-1+b1
Severity: normal

When I plug my ipod classic into my Lenny PC everything is fine: I can edit 
playlists in rhythmbox and when I eject the playlists are updated on the ipod.

When I try to use this PC, running Squeeze, everything *looks* fine, but when I 
eject the ipod the playlist is the same as it was before: the additions and 
deletions to the playlist are not performed.

Happy to provide further info, run tests etc.

Bug#543718: Reproducible for Sid only

[Chris Carr]

Hi there, 

I have three machines: tony, baba and xaphod. Tony is the client
machine, running three gkrellm monitors (one for each machine). Package
versions are all 2.2.13-1 (gkrelltop for tony, gkrelltopd for the other
two). Tony's version of gkrellm is 2.3.2-4

The segfault occurs reliably whenever I run gkrellm -s xaphod  on
tony. Yet when I run the identical command gkrellm -s baba  on tony,
everything works fine. 

So there is presumably some package causing a problem further down the
dependency chain. (Tony and baba are running Squeeze; Xaphod is running
Sid.) Very happy to try and analyse this if someone can tell me what to
look for. 

Regards,

CC

Bug#550598: epiphany-gecko: please allow user to choose not to receive further security warnings

[Chris Carr]

Package: epiphany-gecko
Version: 2.22.3-9
Severity: wishlist

On some secure sites (my bank, my ISP, etc.), when I log in to look at my
account details, I get this warning dialog box:

Some parts of this page are loaded over an insecure connection

Please provide an option in the dialog box for the user to turn this off, so 
that it does not reappear when using such sites. 

The inability to stop this dialog box occurring renders epiphany totally 
unusable on these sites. 

Thank you.

Bug#548255: cups: Upgrade to 1.3.10 or later fails to highlight change to default hostname lookup behaviour

[Chris Carr]

Package: cups
Version: 1.3.11-1+b1
Severity: normal


According to /usr/share/doc/cups/changelog.gz, version 1.3.10 changed 
the default hostname lookup behaviour, from performing hostname lookups 
to not performing them. If your /etc/cupsd.conf relies on them (e.g. 
with Allow *.localnet), and you choose to leave it unchanged during the 
package upgrade, your entire network suddenly becomes unable to print or 
connect to the http://server.localnet:631 interface.

The new package should issue a debconf warning about this change - or 
at the very least the HostName Lookup option should be added to the new 
cupsd.conf.dpkg-dist to show the new default value, with a comment 
warning that this is different from the old default value.

CC

Bug#543718: gkrelltopd: causes irregular segmentation fault of client gkrellm

[Chris Carr]

Package: gkrelltopd
Version: 2.2.13-1
Severity: normal


Hi there, 

I've been testing the new gkrelltopd following the closure of #488736 - it now
correctly shows the processes on the target machine, but causes the monitor to
crash after an unspecified time (presumably when a certain display event 
occurs):

chr...@tony:~$ gkrellm segmentation fault:  gkrelltop  (update_monitor)
Warning: Cannot convert string vlines2 to type Pixmap

Please note that this crash does not occur with gkrelltop displaying 
processes on a local machine, only with gkrelltopd on a remote machine.

Grateful for any further tests I can run to trace this bug. 

Regards,

CC

Bug#542840: Win32 installer only looks for ISO in CD/DVD drive

[Chris Carr]

On Fri, 2009-08-21 at 21:51 +0200, Robert Millan wrote:

  Would it be possible to configure the Win32 installer to use the same

 The win32 installer doesn't implement this behaviour.  It merely setups
 the system to boot the D-I that came with the CD.
 
 If the D-I that came with the CD is a CD installer, it will behave like a
 CD installer.  If it's an hd-media installer, it'll behave like an hd-media
 installer, etc.
 
 If it's useful to D-I, it could preseed a debconf parameter to let D-I know
 it's being run by win32-loader, but what you want can't be done by 
 win32-loader
 itself.

Thanks for the explanation. It just seems to me that one downloads an
ISO, and we should no longer assume than an ISO is only used as a
physical CD. So the installer should not assume that it is running from
a physical CD, and should include hd-media's behaviour. 

Just my 2p.

Bug#542840: Win32 installer only looks for ISO in CD/DVD drive

I have confirmed this behaviour on both standard Lenny ISOs and Squeeze

1. Download a Lenny or Squeeze ISO (businesscard is fastest, but same occurs
with netinst or full CD images)
 
2. In Win32, mount the ISO in a virtual drive (e.g. DaemonTools et al.) - if
autostart is enabled the Win32 install-helper pops up, offering to start the
install for you. Follow the prompts to set it up, and the final prompt to
reboot. 
 
3. On reboot, the installer kernel loads but then aborts very quickly
because it cannot find the ISO in the drive it expects it to be in. 
 
Steps to work around: 
 
4. Reboot into Windows, download the hd-media installer and unpack it
somewhere.  
 
5. Edit C:\grub.cfg to point to the kernel and initrd you just unpacked,
ignoring the win32-installer's ones in C:\debian
 
6. Reboot once more and the installer starts up quite happily, and finds the
ISO image on your C drive so you can continue. 
 
 
Would it be possible to configure the Win32 installer to use the same
behaviour as the hd-media installer? i.e. to look for an ISO in *all* media
- optical drives, hard drives, USB sticks etc. To save time searching you
could even ask the user where to look ...
 
Cheers,

Bug#542348: angband: A Note from the Maintainer inaccurate given new free license

[Chris Carr]

Package: angband
Version: 1:3.1.1.1626-1
Severity: minor

The section A Note from the Maintainer in the help files has some
description of the licensing terms, which the new free licensing makes
incorrect.  (Comments about commercial use, for instance.)

- Josh Triplett


Thanks for spotting this - apologies for the oversight. I'll correct it 
in the next version.

Bug#506171: Very similar bug

[Chris Carr]

I get a very similar bug in Squeeze. I don't get any error messages
except Host is down on the affected clients (when I try to ls a
mounted share). It is consistently triggered by writing across the
network to a share on the server. I can trigger it with Picard or Sound
Juicer (which both CTD), but it seems to be a random time/write interval
before it happens. 

Happy to attach any output if someone can tell me what would be
helpful.

Bug#523787: Logfile

[Chris Carr]

Hi Simon,
 
Sorry for the delay in getting around to testing this further. I attach the
daemon.log file with log-dhcp switched on. I tested three machines
yesterday, each of which has two entries in /etc/ethers (because they have
two NICs - but only one is ever used at a time):
 
junior works fine - comes up on .1.17 each time it boots (using its wireless
NIC - I haven't tried the wired one)
 
tony should come up on .1.10 but gets given .1.104 instead (see 23:32 in the
log)
 
xaphod should come up on .1.21 but gets given .1.110 instead (see 23:34 in
the log)
 
The problems are different - tony sent a DHCPDISCOVER, but xaphod sent a
DHCPREQUEST. In case it's relevant, tony uses eth0 and xaphod uses eth1.
Each has two wired NICs and no wireless.
 
Grateful for any further tests to run,
 
Many thanks,
 
Chris

 Ok, I understand this now: there are two problems.

Many thanks for such a prompt reply.

 The fundamental problem is with your strategy of allocating two MAC
 addresses to one IP addresses. For most of dnsmasq's life this has been
 illegal and your configuration should have provoked an error message or
 at least a warning. The lack of a warning is a bug (you'll get one if
 you put the host configuration in /etc/dnsmasq.conf, but not when it's
 in /etc/ethers)
 
 The reason that this (was) disallowed is that it's unreliable: Assuming
 that you nail MAC1 and MAC2 to the same IP address, once MAC1 has a
 lease on that address, it's not possible for dnsmasq to then lease the
 same address to MAC2 because it has promised the address to MAC1 for the
 duration of the lease. So rebooting the machine onto the other network
 won't work, unless you wait long enough for the lease to expire. In
 general there's no way for dnsmasq to tell that two MAC addresses
 represent the same machine. (This case might be an exception since the
 common name is a clue, defining  the semantics is difficult.)

Ok, I understand the limitation - but are you sure that this explains
the behaviour in this case? I have never used the second NIC on tony,
not since the machine was built ~6 years ago. So the problem is arising
even when only one interface is ever used. If I've understood the above
correctly, this shouldn't happen, surely?

(I think it does explain the different behaviour on xaphod, because I
think I have swapped the NICs in use there.)

  From dnsmasq version 2.46 this limitation was relaxed, it's now
 possible to tell dnsmasq that two MAC addresses belong to the same host
 and that there's an implicit promise that the two interfaces will never
 be up at the same time. With this promise, dnsmasq behaviour changes so
 that when it sees MAC2, it cuts short the lease to MAC1 and gives the
 address to the second interface.
 
 To make this work, use dhcp-host in /etc/dnsmasq.conf, and put both MAC
 addresses on the same line, so eg
 
 dhcp-host=00:0c:6e:6f:60:67,00:26:54:0e:e1:8c,tony,192.168.1.10
 
 You will need to upgrade to the dnsmasq package in testing.

Ok. Where will that leave my /etc/hosts and /etc/ethers files - will
they be needed at all? (The latter will still be used by etherwake, but
will either be used at all by dnsmasq?)

One final question, which I'm not sure is related: how can I ensure that
dnsmasq returns the FQDN when hostname -f is called on the server? At
the moment it only returns the hostname (baba) without the domain name.
Where do I set the domain name for dnsmasq to pick it up?

Thanks again,

CC

I think you want to map MAC address 00:e0:18:f1:05:7b to eth0, so change
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules accordingly.  Please let us
know whether this solves the problem for you.



Sadly not, but thanks to both you and Maximilian for the replies. I
attach /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (having edited the last
entry to point to eth0 as you suggested).


Did you reboot or restart udev after changing this file?


Yes, I rebooted.


Can you send a new kernel log?


Attached. Grateful for any further ideas/suggestions,
