Bug#445554: /usr/sbin/newvserver: allow for unattended install
Package: vserver-debiantools
Version: 0.4.1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/sbin/newvserver
Tags: patch
[ Reportbug crashed on me while trying to send this the first time.
I apologise, if you receive this twice. ]
Hi,
the appended patch modifies the newvserver script to allow for
installs without answering any questions. This aim is achieved by
implementing the following changes:
- Default the time zone of the clients to the time zone of the host if
avvailable. This allows to get rid of the tzselect questions.
- Allow to optinally specify a debconf database to answer debconf
questions during package installation. This is implemented with the
help of the new DEBCONF_FILE_DB configuration variable. This allows
to get rid of all the remaining questions in a standard Etch
install, including the tasksel step.
It would be nice if this patch could be incorporated into the upstream
version of newvserver.
I hope this helps,
Jochen

Bug#444886: updated patch for #444886
Hi,
unfortunately my previous patch for bug #444886 contained a bug on its
own: I forgot to define IP_ADDR and consequently newvserver generated
a broken /etc/hosts file. The appended patch, a full replacement for
the original one, fixes this problem.
Changes since the previous version of the patch:
- Define IP_ADDR by removing the prefix length from IP.
- Fix a typo in the newvserver help text.
- Remove the hard to comprehend code for computing IP_PREFIX and
IP_NETMASK. These two variables seem to be never read.
- Remove a spurious comment and a trailing empty line from the
generated /etc/hosts file.
I hope this helps,
Jochen

Bug#444886: /usr/sbin/newvserver: try to get --ip or --hostname/--domain from name server information
Package: vserver-debiantools
Version: 0.3.6.2
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/sbin/newvserver
Tags: patch
Hi,
if you are creating many VServers using the newvserver script, it is a
bit cumbersome to always give the correct combination of --hostname
and --ip. An alternative strategy would be to set up a name server
which knows about the IP<->hostname assignments and to derive either
the hostname or the IP address by querying the name server. This is
implemented by the appended patch.
Using the patch you can just use
newvserver --ip 1.2.3.4/24
and the script looks up hostname and domain (if not given) using the
name server. Alternatively you can use
newvserver --hostname x --domain y.z
and the script looks up the IP address using the name server. In this
case the prefix length (/24 in the above example) is taken from the
netmask of the given network interface.
I hope this helps,
Jochen

Bug#444868: /usr/sbin/newvserver: allow to configure non-US and security mirrors
Package: vserver-debiantools Version: 0.3.6.1 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/sbin/newvserver Tags: patch Hi, in my VServer setup the clients initially don't have proper network access and thus need to use a mirror to download packages. To make this work I had to change newvserver to allow customisation for the non-US and security servers. Maybe this is useful for others, too? In case you want to incorporate these changes into the official Debian version of the package, here is a patch to do so.

Bug#442908: valgrind: thousands of false positives on powerpc
Package: valgrind
Version: 1:3.2.3-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
valgrind on my powerbook G4 reports several thousands of false (?)
positives even for trivial programs. This makes valgrind unusable
because any real problem reports will be drowned in the generated
noise.
Example: compile the following simple program "xxx.c"
#include
int
main()
{
puts("hi");
return 0;
}
using the following commands:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [~/project/jvterm] gcc -o xxx -g -O xxx.c
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [~/project/jvterm] gcc -g -O -Wall xxx.c -o xxx
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [~/project/jvterm] ./xxx

Bug#426796: fix newvserver in the presence of a local name server
Hi, this is a suggested fix for bug #426796: if the host uses 127.0.0.1 as a nameserver, this cannot be used as a nameserver inside the container. One (partial) solution would be, to replace 127.0.0.1 with the host address on the interface given for the vserver subnet. This mewthod could be implemented by the following patch: -- --- /usr/sbin/newvserver.orig 2007-04-10 04:49:31.0 +0100 +++ /usr/sbin/newvserver2007-08-19 16:59:27.0 +0100 @@ -477,7 +477,10 @@ EOF # grab DNS servers from the host-server for `resolv.conf' -(echo search $VDOMAIN ; grep '^nameserver' /etc/resolv.conf) \ +HOST_IP=$(ip -o addr show dev $INTERFACE primary scope global | \ + sed -n 's;.*inet \([^/]*\)/.*;\1;p') +(echo search $VDOMAIN; + grep '^nameserver' /etc/resolv.conf | sed "s/127.0.0.1/$HOST_IP/") \ > "$VROOTDIR/$VHOST/etc/resolv.conf" # If there is a proxy server statement in-use in the Host server, copy it across -- This will work as long as the hosts nameserver listens on $INTERFACE.

Bug#416303: upgrade-reports: upgrade report: success on a simple mail/web server
Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: normal
Hi,
as requested by Frans Pop on dda, here is a Sarge->Etch upgrade
report. Everything worked ok, details are below.
I hope this helps,
Jochen
The machine
---
a Qemu based virtual server, i386, 160MB of RAM
running up to date sarge
kernel-image-2.6.8-3-686 booted using grub
main applications: apache2, exim4, dovecot
no X11
The server was set-up to be as close as possible in
configuration to my real web/mail server.
Upgrade procedure
-
I closely followed Method "C" as described on the Wiki
Minor glitches
--
The update went generally well. There were a few minor
issues, which I describe below.
1) The comment for "aptitude upgrade" mentions that this should lead
to glibc being upgraded early. This did not happen for me. It was
listed in the "The following packages have been kept back" section
and only was only upgraded when I did "aptitude install
initrd-tools" in the next step.
2) when I reached the "aptitude purge kernel-image-2.6-"
step, I got a scary error message
--
You are running a kernel (version 2.6.8-3-686) and attempting to remove
the same version. This is a potentially disastrous action. Not only
will /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-3-686 be removed, making it impossible to boot
it, (you will have to take action to change your boot loader to boot
a new kernel), it will also remove all modules under the directory
/lib/modules/2.6.8-3-686. Just having a copy of the kernel image is not
enough, you will have to replace the modules too.
I repeat, this is very dangerous. If at all in doubt, answer
no. If you know exactly what you are doing, and are prepared to
hose your system, then answer Yes.
Remove the running kernel image (not recommended) [No]?
--
Probably the release notes should contain some encouragement for
users who reach this point. I decided to reboot before removing
the kernel.
3) The "various cleanup" section on the wiki page lists the point
"remove gcc-3.3, g++-3.3 ...". This happened automatically for me
during "aptitude dist-upgrade" ("The following packages are unused
and will be REMOVED").
4) During install the symbolic link
"/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default" appeared. This broke my
common web server setup, because it slipped in between my own
"0-redir" and the virtual host definitions. Simply removing the
link fixed the web server.
5) The new dovecot config file looks very different from the old one
(the new one has blocks in curly brackets where the old one didn't
and some config options were renamed). This made me daubt that the
old file would work with the new version of the server and thus I
allowed the upgrade process to replace the config file.
Consequently I had to go throught the >1000 lines of the
dovecot.conf file to fix the SSL-certificates, authentication
mechanisms etc. Not very automatic and a bit of a hassle. Maybe
admins should be aware that dovecot will need a bit of attention
during upgrade.
6) Exim also neede a bit of fiddling, but since I had manually
custimised the setup before this seems ok to me.

Bug#400831: logic error in mutt-1.5.13/account.c
Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.13-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
recently I came across the following bit of code in the source file
mutt-1.5.13/account.c (near the end of the file):
void mutt_account_unsetpass (ACCOUNT* account)
{
account->flags &= !M_ACCT_PASS;
}
Since the flags field is used as a collection of separate bit, this is
a bug in the program. Since M_ACCT_PASS equals 8, !M_ACCT_PASS equals
0 and the 'mutt_account_unsetpass' function erroneously clears all
flags instead of only M_ACCT_PASS.
This bug can be fixed by using bitwise negation instead of logical
negation:
account->flags &= ~M_ACCT_PASS;
I hope this helps,
Jochen

File: /usr/lib/libdb3.so.3.0.2
Hi,
recently I came across the following bit of code in the source file

129):
qflags = qp->flags;
qflags &= !(QAM_VALID | QAM_SET);
if (qflags != 0) {
...
}
QAM_VALID and QAM_SET are defined in "qam.h" as follows:
typedef struct _qamdata {
u_int8_t flags;/* 00: delete bit. */
#define QAM_VALID 0x01
#define QAM_SET 0x02
u_int8_t data[1]; /* Record. */
} QAMDATA;
To me it looks like the "qflags &= ..." statement was meant to read
qflags &= ~(QAM_VALID | QAM_SET);
(with a bitwise not instead of a logical not).
I did not check what the consequences of this bug are, but probably it
should be fixed anyway.
I hope this helps,

It looks like the bracketed block is ment to be conditional on the
value of 'http'. But since there is this strange semicolon at the end
of the line with the 'if', the block is executed unconditionally.
I think that this is a bug and that the semicolon should be removed.
I did not check in any way what the implications of the bug are, but
probably this is worth fixing anyway.

Bug#397536: format string vulnerability in eperl_perl5.c
Package: eperl
Version: 2.2.14-14
Severity: normal
Hello,
recently I came across the following bit of code in the source file
eperl-2.2.14/eperl_perl5.c (function 'Perl5_Run', around line 215):
if ((cpBuf = ePerl_ReadErrorFile(perlstderr, perlscript, source))
!= NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, cpBuf);
}
Here the fprintf command uses the stderr output of the perl
interpreter as a printf format string without any sanitisation. This
leads to a format string vulerability.
The following eperl call illustrates the problem:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] echo '<: for (;%s$i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) { print "foo
#${i}\n"; } :>' | eperl -c -
Scalar found where operator expected at /tmp/ePerl.stdin.14972.tmp0 line 1,
near "/tmp/ePerl.stdin.14972.tmp0$i"
(Missing operator before $i?)
syntax error at /tmp/ePerl.stdin.14972.tmp0 line 1, near "Ï ª¿È$i "
Execution of /tmp/ePerl.stdin.14972.tmp0 aborted due to compilation errors.
Here the perl interpreter gives the error message
... line 1, near "%s$i"
and the fprintf call dumps some memory contents instead of the %s.
I did not check whether this is exploitable, but probably the problem
should be fixed anyway.
I hope this helps,
Jochen

Bug#397183: nmap: logic errors in regular expression parsing code
Package: nmap
Version: 4.11-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
recently I found some logic errors in nmap's copy of the pcre library.
1) in the file nmap-4.11/libpcre/pcre_dfa_exec.c (function
internal_dfa_exec, around line 1120) I find the following statement:
int otherd = -1;
if ((ims && PCRE_CASELESS) != 0)
{
...
}
This is a programming mistake. 'ims' is a collection of flag bits,
and PCRE_CASELESS is the bit mask for caseless matching. The test
should be for 'ims & PCRE_CASELESS' instead.
2) the code, including the bug is duplicated a few lines down, around
line 1147.
3) in file "pcre_compile.c" (function 'compile_branch', around line
2829) the following statement can be found:
/* Condition to test for a numbered subpattern match. We know that
if a digit follows ( then there will just be digits until ) because
the syntax was checked in the first pass. */
else if ((digitab[ptr[1]] && ctype_digit) != 0)
{
...
}
This is a programming error. The test for digits works by taking the
bitwise (not logical) and between the corresponding entry in 'digitab'
and the mask 'ctype_digit'. The if test should use '&' instead of
'&&'.
I did not check what the implications of these errors are, but
probably they should be fixed anyway.
I hope this helps,
Jochen

Bug#396958: /usr/bin/X: several off-by-one errors in debian/local/xserver-wrapper.c
Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.1.0-5
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/X
Hello,
recently I discovered the following bits of code in the source file
debian/local/xserver-wrapper.c (function 'main', starting at line
172):
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
...
char line[1024];
char var[64];
char value[256];
...
val = fgets(line, 1024, cf);
while (val != NULL) {
var[0] = '\0';
value[0] = '\0';
if (sscanf(line, " %64[A-Za-z0-9_] = %256[A-Za-z0-9_ -] ",
var, value) > 0) {
This use of 'sscanf' is unsafe and leads to a buffer overflow if
either the key is >=64 characters long or the value is >=256
characters long (the trailing '\0' spills over). From the GNU libc
manual:
* Provide a buffer to store it in. This is the default. You should
provide an argument of type `char *' or `wchar_t *' (the latter of
the `l' modifier is present).
*Warning:* To make a robust program, you must make sure that the
input (plus its terminating null) cannot possibly exceed the size
of the buffer you provide. In general, the only way to do this is
to specify a maximum field width one less than the buffer size. ...
Thus the offending line should read
if (sscanf(line, " %63[A-Za-z0-9_] = %255[A-Za-z0-9_ -] ",
var, value) > 0) {
instead.
Some lines later the following bit of code can be found:
char xserver[1024];
...
i = readlink(X_SERVER_SYMLINK, xserver, 1024);
...
xserver[i] = '\0'; /* readlink() does not null-terminate the string */
Again this is an off-by-one error. 'readlink' will happily return
1024 for long link targets (assuming that the file system allows
this), and the assignment to 'xserver[i]' will overflow the buffer
'xserver' then.
Neither of these issues looks especially exploitable to me but it
might be good to fix them anyway. (Note that this code is part of an
suid root binary.)
I hope this helps,
Jochen

Bug#392880: gcc-4.1: off-by-one error for string initialiser warnings
Package: gcc-4.1
Version: 4.1.1-16
Severity: normal
Hello,
one very useful feature of gcc is, that it warns you when you produce
unterminated strings by using too long initialisers. Unfortunately
the warning only kicks in, if the initialiser is at least two bytes
longer than the string buffer. This is illustrated by the following
example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] cat t.c
#include
char a[]="a";
char string1[2] = "";
char b[]="b";
char string2[2] = "1";
char c[]="c";
char string3[2] = "12";
char d[]="d";
char string4[2] = "123";
char e[]="e";
int
main()
{
puts(string1);
puts(string2);
puts(string3);
puts(string4);
return 0;
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] gcc -Wall t.c
t.c:9: warning: initializer-string for array of chars is too long
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] ./a.out
1
12d
12e
Here 'string3' and 'string4' are unterminated, as can be seen from the
program output at the end. But only the initialiser for 'string4'
gives a warning. It would be nice if there would also be a warning
for the case when the initialiser is just one byte too long (i.e. for
'string3' in my example).
I hope this helps,
Jochen

Bug#392866: squid: buffer overflow in src/tools.c
Package: squid
Version: 2.6.4-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
recently I discovered the following bit of code in the source file
src/tools.c (function 'parseEtcHosts', around line 1169):
void
parseEtcHosts(void)
{
FILE *fp;
char buf[1024];
char buf2[512];
...
if (Config.appendDomain && !strchr(lt, '.')) {
/* I know it's ugly, but it's only at reconfig */
strncpy(buf2, lt, 512);
strncat(buf2, Config.appendDomain, 512 - strlen(lt));
This code is unsafe for two reasons: (1) lt comes directly from the
/etc/hosts file. It the length of this string is 512 characters or
longer, the 'strncpy' statement will not terminate the string 'buf2'.
(2) 'strncat' always adds a terminating '\0' after the appended
string. If the string 'Config.appendDomain' is 512-strlen(lt)
characters or longer, the terminating '\0' will be written just
_after_ the last byte of 'buf2'.
This does not look very dangerous but, I think, it should be fixed
anyway.
I hope this helps,
Jochen

Bug#392663: apt: off-by-one errors in "extracttar.cc"
Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.2
Severity: normal
Hello,
recently I discovered the following bits of code in
apt-inst/contrib/extracttar.cc:
// The on disk header for a tar file.
struct ExtractTar::TarHeader
{
char Name[100];
char Mode[8];
...
char LinkName[100];
char MagicNumber[8];
...
};
bool ExtractTar::Go(pkgDirStream &Stream)
{
...
// Grab the filename
if (LastLongName.empty() == false)
Itm.Name = (char *)LastLongName.c_str();
else
{
Tar->Name[sizeof(Tar->Name)] = 0;
Itm.Name = Tar->Name;
}
if (Itm.Name[0] == '.' && Itm.Name[1] == '/' && Itm.Name[2] != 0)
Itm.Name += 2;
// Grab the link target
Tar->Name[sizeof(Tar->LinkName)] = 0;
Itm.LinkTarget = Tar->LinkName;
...
}
Both, the 'Tar->Name[sizeof(Tar->Name)]' and the
'Tar->Name[sizeof(Tar->LinkName)]' assignment write a zero-byte just
_after_ the end of the corresponding buffer, causing a buffer
overflow. Also the second of these assignments looks like it was ment
to terminate the string in the 'Tar->LinkName' buffer, but fails to do
so.
I did not check whether these bugs are exploitable in any form, but
probably they should be fixed anyway.
I hope this helps,
Jochen

Bug#392669: /usr/sbin/sshd: off-by-one error in function 'xmmap'
Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:4.3p2-5
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/sshd
Hello,
recently I discovered the following bit of code in the source file
"openssh-4.3p2/openbsd-compat/xmmap.c" (function 'xmmap', around line
51):
#define MM_SWAP_TEMPLATE "/var/run/sshd.mm."
if (address == (void *)MAP_FAILED) {
char tmpname[sizeof(MM_SWAP_TEMPLATE)] = MM_SWAP_TEMPLATE;
int tmpfd;
mode_t old_umask;
old_umask = umask(0177);
tmpfd = mkstemp(tmpname);
The array 'tmpname' has enough space to contain the string
MM_SWAP_TEMPLATE, but not the terminating '\0' byte. Therefore
'mkstemp' is called with an unterminated string.
I did not check whether this bug is exploitable in any form, but it
should be fixed anyway.
I hope this helps,
Jochen

Bug#392656: netkit-base: off-by-one error in rpcgen
Package: netkit-base
Version: 0.10-10.3
Severity: normal
Hello,
recently I noticed the following bit of code in the source file
"rpc_cout.c" (near the end):
static char *upcase(const char *str) {
char *ptr, *hptr;
ptr = malloc(strlen(str));
if (ptr == NULL) {
f_print(stderr,"malloc failed\n");
exit(1);
}
hptr=ptr;
while (*str != 0) {
*ptr++ = toupper(*str++);
}
*ptr=0;
return hptr;
}
As you can see the malloc reserves enough memory to store the
uppercased string but not the trailing '\0'. The statement '*ptr'
causes a buffer overflow, then.
I did not check whether this is exploitable in any way, but probably
this should be fixed anyway.
I hope this helps,
Jochen

Bug#392651: emacs21: bug in 'xbm_read_bitmap_data' (file "xfns.c")
Package: emacs21
Version: 21.4a-6.2
Severity: normal
Hello,
recently I discovered the following bit of code in the source file
"src/xfns.c" (function 'xbm_read_bitmap_data', starting at line 6705):
if (LA1 == XBM_TK_NUMBER);
{
char *p = strrchr (buffer, '_');
p = p ? p + 1 : buffer;
if (strcmp (p, "width") == 0)
*width = value;
else if (strcmp (p, "height") == 0)
*height = value;
}
Since there is a semi-colon at the end of the first line, the indented
block will be executed unconditionally. This is at least confusing
and very probably a bug which should be fixed.
I hope this helps,
Jochen

Bug#392455: /usr/sbin/p0f: buffer overflow in p0f.c
Package: p0f
Version: 2.0.5-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/p0f
Hello,
recently I discovered the following bit of code in the source file
p0f-2.0.5/p0f.c (function main):
_u8 buf[MAXLINE*4];
...
if (argv[optind] && *(argv[optind])) {
sprintf(buf,"(%s) and (%3000s)",use_rule,argv[optind]);
use_rule = buf;
}
where MAXLINE is set to 1024. While this seems to try to prevent the
buffer 'buf' from overflowing by using the format string "%3000s", it
fails to do so. The number 3000, when used in the way above, gives
the minimum field width. Probably the intention was to write
"%.3000s" instead. This leads to a buffer overflow when the command
line argument is longer than approx 4096 character.
Probably the following crash is a symptom of this bug:

Bug#392275: logic error in dhcp3-3.0.4/common/discover.c
Package: dhcp3
Version: 3.0.4-8
Severity: normal
Hello,
recently I discovered the following bit of code in the source file
dhcp3-3.0.4/common/discover.c (around line 941):
isc_result_t dhcp_interface_stuff_values (omapi_object_t *c,

omapi_object_t *h)
{
struct interface_info *interface;
...
if (interface -> flags && INTERFACE_REQUESTED)
status = omapi_connection_put_string (c, "up");

}
Looking at include/dhcpd.h it is clear that flags is meant to be a bit
field:
struct interface_info {
...
u_int32_t flags;/* Control flags... */
#define INTERFACE_REQUESTED 1
#define INTERFACE_AUTOMATIC 2
#define INTERFACE_RUNNING 4
...
}
Thus it seems that the intended test was the bit test
if (interface -> flags & INTERFACE_REQUESTED)
status = omapi_connection_put_string (c, "up");
I do not know what the implications of this bug are, but I guess it
should be fixed anyway.
I hope this helps,

Bug#392271: dhcp-client: buffer overflow in dhclient
Package: dhcp-client
Version: 2.0pl5-19.4
Severity: normal
Hi,
recently I noticed the following bits of code in the source file
dhcp-2.0pl5/client/dhclient.c:
int main (argc, argv, envp)
int argc;
char **argv, **envp;
{
...
for (i = 1; i < argc; i++) {
if (!strcmp (argv [i], "-p")) {
...
} else {
struct interface_info *tmp =
((struct interface_info *)
dmalloc (sizeof *tmp, "specified_interface"));
if (!tmp)
error ("Insufficient memory to %s %s",
"record interface", argv [i]);
memset (tmp, 0, sizeof *tmp);
strcpy (tmp -> name, argv [i]);
...
}
}
...
}
The 'strcpy' copies the command line argument into the 16 byte long
buffer 'tmp->name' without any length check. This leads to a buffer
overflow.
Probably the following error message is a symptom of this problem:

Severity: normal
Hello,
recently I noticed the following bits of code in the source file
net-tools-1.60/ipmaddr.c:
...
char filter_dev[16];

static int multiaddr_list(int argc, char **argv)
{

usage();
}
...
int main(int argc, char **argv)

}
If you follow the calling chain, you can see that for calls like
ipmaddr show dev a
command line arguments are copied into the 16 bytes long buffer
'filter_dev' using 'strcpy' without any length checks. This leads to
a buffer overflow.
I did not check whether this is exploitable in any form, but it would
be nice if this could be fixed anyway.
I hope this helps,

Bug#392258: python2.3: memset arguments swapped in Modules/binascii.c
Package: python2.3
Version: 2.3.5-15
Severity: normal
Hi,
in the source file python2.3-2.3.5/Modules/binascii.c I notice the
following bits of code (starting at line 1048):
/* We allocate the output same size as input, this is overkill.
* The previous implementation used calloc() so
we'll zero out the * memory here too, since
PyMem_Malloc() does not guarantee that.*/
odata = (unsigned char *) PyMem_Malloc(datalen);
if (odata == NULL) {
PyErr_NoMemory();
return NULL;
}
memset(odata, datalen, 0);
and (starting at line 1213):
/* We allocate the output same size as input, this is overkill.
* The previous implementation used calloc() so
we'll zero out the * memory here too, since
PyMem_Malloc() does not guarantee that.*/
odata = (unsigned char *) PyMem_Malloc(odatalen);
if (odata == NULL) {
PyErr_NoMemory();
return NULL;
}
memset(odata, odatalen, 0);
This will not work as intended since the third memset argument should
be the length of the buffer. The memset prototype is
void *memset(void *s, int c, size_t n);
I did not analyse what the implications of this bug are, but I think
it should befixed anyway (if nothing else, then to prevent others from
copying this bit of code).
I hope this helps,

Did you see the patch I appended to the bug report log at
http://bugs.debian.org/364635 ? It seems that the problem is caused
by some weird compatility hacks (something with thread libraries) in
the package. Removing these fixes the problem for me.

This seems not to crash on my machine.

What is "acpi generic hotkey support"? Note that Apple PowerBooks don't use ACPI and that the fn key is not a "hotkey" but just another modifier key. Because the keyboard has not enough keys, you need fn to access, for example, the page-up and page-down keys. All the best, Jochen -- http://seehuhn.de/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#319082: libstdc++6-4.0-dev: mistakes in the long package description
Package: libstdc++6-4.0-dev Version: 4.0.1-2 Severity: minor Hello, the long package description of libstdc++6-4.0-dev, revision 4.0.1-2, contains the paragraph This package contains the headers and static library files necessary for building C++ programs which use libstdc++. Be advised that this only works with the GNU C++ compiler (version 3.0), and no earlier library will work it. This description has two minor problems: 1) "this only works with the GNU C++ compiler (version 3.0)" is not true. Compiler version 4.0.1 seems to also work. Given that the dependency system will take care of this automatically this part should probably just be removed. 2) "... , and no earlier library will work it." This doesn't make sense. Maybe the meaning is "you need libstdc++-v3 for gcc-3.0"? This part should probably also be removed, or otherwise should be clarified.

Bug#129550: glibc-doc: umount() description does not match real behaviour
Hello,
just now I stumbled across this old bug report.
The issue was:
(1) the glibc manual states that umount("/dev/fd0") works, but
(2) in reality it does not.
I still think that this constitutes a bug either in the
C library or in the manual.
Otherwise, what would be the use of the manual if it does not
describe how things work?
All the best,
Jochen

Bug#307328: kernel-source-2.6.11: [powerpc] CPU runs only with half speed on new powerbooks
Package: kernel-source-2.6.11 Severity: normal Hello, with release 2.6.11-1 of kernel-image-2.6.11-powerpc the CPU runs only at half of the advertised speed. The problem is hard to notice, because /proc/cpuinfo contains the lines cpu : 7447A, altivec supported clock : 1666MHz bogomips: 829.44 which look good at first. But is transpires that the clock entry is wrong! The thing to look out for is the bogomips value: on a 7447A processor the bogomips value is approximately equal to the clock frequency. The issue is discussed in the debian-powerpc mailing list in the thread starting at http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2005/03/msg00554.html . The problem can be fixed with the Benjamin Herrenschmidt's patch from http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2005/03/msg00554.html and http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2005/03/msg01008.html .

Bug#299864: libsdl1.2: problem looking up keysyms under X11
Package: libsdl1.2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hello,
the SDL-library does not properly lookup keysyms under X11. Each key
has a list of four keysyms assigned to it, which are interpreted as
"group 1 without shift", "group 1 with shift", "group 2 without
shift", and "group 2 with shift". The SDL library only uses the first
element of this array. This makes it impossible to use keysyms from
group 2 (i.e. keysyms accessed using the altgr modifier).
The problem is in the file src/video/x11/SDL_x11events.c, line 621:
xsym = XKeycodeToKeysym(display, kc, 0);
The "0" is the index into the above mentioned list and thus we get
always the first keysym.
An easy fix (which avoids messing around with the modifiers ourselves)
is to use the XLookupString function instead. In translates a
keyboard event into a string (which we may ignore) and the *correct*
keysym. This approach is implemented in the appended patch.
I hope this helps,
Jochen

Hello, I agree that the package description for svn-workbench is poor. I can't parse it either. Is the program just a grpahical frontend for svn? Do I want to install it on my machine? Another thing to consider: the developers reference (section 6.2.4) suggests that you add the homepage URL to the end of the package description. See the developers reference for the way to do this.

The change is immediate. And do you know what it means to set the CS7 flag in c_cflags?

Is the TCSETA ioctl documented in some publicly accessible place?
Just for reference: In the failure case (eigthBitInput: false) the ioctl
argument is as follows.
(gdb) p tio
$1 = {c_iflag = 768, c_oflag = 3, c_cflag = 2575, c_lflag = 1487,
c_line = 0 '\0',
c_cc =
"\003\034\177\025\004\001\000\000\000\000\027\022\032\021\023\026\017", '\0'
, c_ispeed = 0, c_ospeed = 0}
The call returns -1 in this case and HsSysError is called.
If I set "eigthBitInput: true", then the argument to ioctl is
(gdb) p tio
$1 = {c_iflag = 768, c_oflag = 3, c_cflag = 2831, c_lflag = 1487,
c_line = 0 '\0',
c_cc =
"\003\034\177\025\004\001\000\000\000\000\027\022\032\021\023\026\017", '\0'
, c_ispeed = 0, c_ospeed = 0}
(only difference: the c_cflag member has bit 9 set, which looks like
the switch from CS7 to CS8). This time the call succeeds.
Maybe its a kernel or libc bug after all?
All the best,
Jochen
PS.: I was unsure which bug report entry I should forward this

Bug#298551: xterm: fatal pty error 23 (errno=22) on tty /dev/pts/1
Package: xterm Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12 Severity: normal Hello, on my shiny new Apple Powerbook G4 I encounter the problem described in (closed) bug #105874. The problem is the following: When I try to start xterm with eightBitInput set to false, I opens a window for a fraction of a second but then dies with the error message xterm: fatal pty error 23 (errno=22) on tty /dev/pts/1 The problem goes away when I set eightBitInput to true. The problem did not occur when a virtually identical configuration was used on an i386 based system. My feeble debugging attempts could narrow down the source of the problem a little bit: the error message is caused by the following lines of code (xterm/main.c, lines 3547-3548): if (ioctl(ttyfd, TCSETA, &tio) == -1) HsSysError(cp_pipe[1], ERROR_TIOCSETP); This is executed in the child process after the fork, and the error condition is reported back to the parent process via a pipe in an a little bit convoluted manner.
