Bug#291494: cron mail from removed package

2005-01-20 Thread Chris Walker
Package: chkrootkit
Version:


Even though chkrootkit is removed (though not purged) I get the following
mail from cron:

  /etc/cron.daily/chkrootkit:
  /etc/cron.daily/chkrootkit: line 10: chkrootkit: command not found
  run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/chkrootkit exited with return code 127
  /etc/cron.daily/man-db:
  mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/javah.1.gz is a dangling symlink

It would seem the last two lines are due to java, but the first three
lines are due to chkrootkit.

Please can you fix the script to test that the command exists before
trying to run it.

Bug#291510: dangling symlink

2005-01-21 Thread Chris Walker

I get the following output from cron.daily:

It seems your package is at fault, and the man page has gone away:

Bug#295205: metapost figures in xdvi with tex text

2005-02-14 Thread Chris Walker
Package: tetex-bin
Version:  2.0.2-26

If you put tex text in a metapost figure, and preview with xdvi, then
not only does the text not display, but subsequent pictures don't
either.

What seems to happen is that the figure is passed directly to
ghostscript, which then can't interpret the picture. 

The figure prints out perfectly fine if dvips followed by ghostview is
used.

Ideal solution would be to display the text - but, failing that, not
crashing the underlying ghostscript would be nice.




Here is a simple example of the effect:

mpost withtex.mp
latex xdvibug.tex
xdvi xdvibug

will show the problem (recompile and when you refresh the xdvi window,
the picture disappears) if you use the files below. 



withtex.mp contains the following:

beginfig(1);
numeric u ; u=2cm;

drawarrow (-u,0)--(u,0);
drawarrow (0,-u)--(0,u);

%comment out line below and it runs fine.
label.bot(btex $Si(1\bar11)$ etex, (u,0));
endfig;
end


And you can include it in the following basic latex article:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
%\thispagestyle{empty}
\includegraphics{withtex.1}
\end{figure}
\end{document}



Thanks, 

Chris

http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=mpprologues implies
that this is the case.

I don't guarantee that my example uses the correct way of including
the metapost LaTeX - but if I've got it wrong, it wasn't obvious
from the faq answers I've read -and it seemed to work in dvips.


Chris

PS Not directly relevant to the bug, but the molecular structures
example at
http://matagalatlante.org/nobre/featpost/doc/featexamples.html is the
reason I'm using metapost.

That, or whatever pdflatex uses to iterpret metapost files.

It would be great if you could fix this.

Thanks,

Bug#295958: test failures when not in /tmp

2005-02-19 Thread Chris Walker
Package: cheetah-common

If you run
cheetah test

in a directory other than /tmp, you get 16 failures and 3 errors


in /tmp, you get 16 failures, but no errors.


The directory is writable, but the first error is:

In 0.9.15, it also occurs in a directory that IS writable. Which I
should have said more clearly in the initial bug report. Sorry. This
is why I reported the bug.

If it is fixed in 0.9.16a1, then I don't think it is worth backporting
the fix. 

"minor" is fine.

Possibly not. I'd missed the fact that it was alpha - though I should
have guessed from the filename.

Or indeed experimental. 

A python2.4 package might also be worth considering (and AIUI needs to
be manually approved by ftpmaster, which will clearly take some time).

As you are aware of the new package, and making a positive decision
not to upgrade, then I'm happy to trust your judgement.
