Bug#649697: python-epydoc: Please Recommend ghostscript instead of gs-common

 Package: python-epydoc
 Version: 3.0.1-1
 Severity: important

 Hi,

 python-epydoc currently recommends gs-common, which is a transitional package.
 The next upload of ghostscript (currently) plans to drop both gs-common and
 the ghostscript Provides: gs-common. As soon as that upload happens, it
 will make python-epydoc have broken recommends.

 Please replace the Recommends on gs-common to a Recommends on ghostscript.

Is it OK for me to change the Recommends immediately, or do I have to
wait for the new ghostscript package?  When will that package be
uploaded?

 When using the -q / --stdlib option, the method getStandardLibraries() in 
 warn.py gets library
 names from site-packages, but not the new location for them, which is 
 dist-packages. This means
 errors from these packages are not ignored as they should be.

Hmm.  From the limited digging I've done so far, it looks like the
practice of installing standard libraries in dist-packages is
Debian-specific.   If that's the case, I guess we should be fixing it
in a Debian-specific patch rather than as an upstream bug.  I'll see
if I can come up with something workable.

Bug#647833: Pychecker enhancement requests

2011-11-06 Thread Kenneth Pronovici
Hi Guido,

I'm responding here to both bug #647833 and #647834.

I don't envision implementing changes like these in the Debian package
for pychecker.  These really are enhancement requests for upstream,
and they don't have anything to do with how the Debian package is
utilized.  The binary Debian package doesn't even include setup.py.

I can (and do) submit bug reports to SourceForge for actual bugs
reported by Debian users, but I would prefer not to be the owner for
enhancement requests like this.  I think it works better if the
SourceForge bug is owned by the person actually making the enhancement
 request.

Would you be willing to submit (and own) a bug report on SourceForge
for these enhancement requests?  If you do that, then I will tie the
Debian bug reports to the SourceForge bug reports, and we can continue
to track them here.  If not, I would prefer to close these Debian bug
reports.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

KEN

I've got a package built with this patch applied, and I'll upload in a
little while.  I will also upload my final patch to SourceForge, in
case upstream or one of the other distributions wants to integrate it.

In testing with PostScript and PDF output, I found that this change
caused a HUGE slowdown (i.e. divps took on the order of minutes to
render the output).  Something (not sure which step) also crashed once
when generating PDF output, although I couldn't reproduce that
behavior.

After digging around, I decided to add \usepackage{lmodern} in
addition to \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}.  This seems to resolve the
problems I was seeing, and the output appears legible for the formats
I can easily check (i.e. PDF).   When the new package hits the
archive, please confirm that I haven't caused any problems for your
scenario.

Thanks,

Bug#609438: pychecker: incompatible with Python 2.7: IndexError: tuple index out of range

2011-01-11 Thread Kenneth Pronovici
Hi Jakub,

I have a new pychecker package put together, but I am going to have to
wait before uploading.   The upstream 0.8.19 release removes the
pychecker2 package, which SPE depends on.  I don't want my upload to
break SPE, so I need to wait and see whether Thomas is willing to put
this code back in his upstream distribution.

Also, I only see python2.7 in experimental right now.  I do not
currently have a spare environment or chroot to devote to
experimental, so I won't be able to test 0.8.19 with python 2.7.  I'll
have to rely on you to let me know if my new package has solved your
problem.  (Are you really running experimental, or are you using the
Debian package through Ubuntu or something?)

 If I understand correctly, with -q or --stdlib pychecker

I agree that this is kind of a pain.

I'm fairly sure this is already in the upstream bug tracker on

tie it to this one.

Upstream is more-or-less dead right now.  Most bugs and/or mailing

unless I can come up with a fix myself or unless someone else submits

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the bug report.  Sorry that you're seeing problems writing the
disk... I haven't heard of that happening before.  I will look at these

Would you be willing to submit this bug at SourceForge?  That's usually
where I track bug reports that are not specific to Debian.  If not, i.e. if
you don't have a SF login, that's fine... I can do it myself.  It's better

 Package: cedar-backup2
 Version: 2.19.4-2
 Severity: wishlist


 First, thanks for writing and maintaining cedar-backup2.  I have found
 it very useful for regular backups.

 I use cback-span regularly and often have failures in either starting
 writing the disk or in mounting the disk for the consistency check.
 In both cases, I believe the failure is just due to the drive not
 settling quickly enough.  These failures necessitate restarting the
 whole process and burning a whole new set of disks, which can be
 wasteful of both time and DVD+R's if I'm on one of the last disks of a
 big backup.

 I request new features to catch these failures and allow retrying of
 the events.  In particular,

 1. If the writing fails (for any reason, not just failure to start
   writing), the option of restarting the write should be given.
   (This would allow the user to insert a new medium, if necessary.)

 2. If the consistency check fails (again, for any reason), allow the
   user to either,
   A. Re-run the consistency check, or
   B. Re-write the disk (again, possibly with a new medium).

 Thanks again,
 Jan Medlock

Bug#563445: cedar-backup2: cback-span asks for new medium after the final one is finshed

2010-01-02 Thread Kenneth Pronovici
Hi Jan,

Yeah, that sounds like a glitch.  cback-span shouldn't ask the last time...
there's no point.

Would you be willing to submit this bug at SourceForge, along with the other
one?

Thanks,

KEN

 Again, thanks for the nice software and its maintenance.

 cback-span asks for a new medium after the final medium has been
 burned.  After responding to this prompt, the program exists since the
 burning is done.

 cback-span should not ask for a new medium after the final one has
 been burned.

Bug#561793: Epydoc patch (Debian bug #561793)

2009-12-30 Thread Kenneth Pronovici
Thomas,

Ok, I have finally had time to review your patch and test it.   Sorry this
took me a while.

This bug is now linked with 560624, 560659 and 560606, which are FTBFS bugs
for python-couchdb, dbus-python and pymvpa.  I was able to reproduce the
build problems with those packages using python-epydoc 3.0.1-3 and
python-docutils 0.6-2 (both from unstable).

After applying your patch, the build problems went away for python-couchdb
and dbus-python.  The pymvpa build exposed one other piece of code where a
.data element is referenced, so I made a similar change there.  (A new
patch is attached.)

I can't confirm that the documentation looks exactly correct in each of the
packages I tested, but I spot-checked it and it does look reasonable.

I haven't heard back from Edward (upstream), so that leaves it up to me.
The patch shouldn't have any impact on behavior except when the .data
attribute is missing, so it feels fairly safe.  I tend to think the result
with the patch in place is much better than just blowing up.So, I am
going to apply it for Debian version 3.0.1-4, which I will upload later
tonite.  I will also update the SF bug to reference this Debian bug (and the
patch), in case Edward wants to put into the upstream release.

To the other Debian maintainers: please let me know if you see any problems
with the documentation that has been generated for your packages.  I can
always fall this change back if needed.

Thanks,

KEN

Bug#561793: Testing and patch as attachement

2009-12-22 Thread Kenneth Pronovici
Don't worry about the unit tests for now.  It's been a while since I looked
at this code, and I thought I recalled a unit test suite that I was running
as part of the package build process.  I was thinking of pychecker instead.

Bug#561793: I've made a Patch

2009-12-21 Thread Kenneth Pronovici
Hi,

I haven't had time to look at this yet, and I might not have time until
after the holidays due to work schedule and travel.  Sorry about that.

I have pinged Edward (upstream) to see whether I can get some feedback from
him before I consider applying the patch.  I don't have a a problem applying
your patch if we don't hear from Edward, but I'd like to get his blessing if
possible, since this parsing code is fairly complex.

Couple of quick questions:

1. Does the existing unit test suite pass or fail with Docutils 0.6?  If
not, have you been able to develop any tests that we could add to the suite
to demonstrate the problem?

2. Does the existing unit test suite pass or fail with your patches in
place?  What testing have you been doing to check for possible bugs (the
ones you mention above)?

Thanks,

KEN

Hmm.  Good point.  I wrote that comment myself, and then proceeded to put

I should probably just try to exclude that file from being installed via

 These utilities are kept here, separate from util.py, because they provide
 common functionality that I do not want exported publicly once Cedar
 Backup
 is installed on a system.  They are only used for unit testing, and are
 only
 useful within the source tree.

 Many of these functions are in here because they are good enough for unit

Bug#487096: false warnings on except

2008-07-14 Thread Kenneth Pronovici
 Probably because those two are derived from BaseException, while
 everything else is derived from Exception in Python 2.5. There
 is a patch around, which I did not test:
 https://thomas.apestaart.org/thomas/trac/changeset/938?format=diffnew=938

This patch does fix the bug for Python 2.5.  Unfortunately, it also
breaks pychecker for Python  2.5.

I did talk with upstream.  I'll submit an SF bug, and I'll plan to
re-test when the next release happens (which might be as soon as this
month).

  During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on

It looks like this has to do with the upgrade to Python 2.5, rather
than the GCC transition.  The tests pass for Python 2.5, but the

Hi,

I'll take a look at this, but it's unlikely I'll find a solution very
soon.  Upstream doesn't have a lot of time right now, and I'm not an
expert in the codebase (though sometimes I do get lucky).

I think that it's probably best for you to fix your FTBFS by removing
pychecker from debian/rules temporarily.  You can put it back when the
bug is fixed.

Maybe we should clone 406347? You can fix your FTBFS by removing
pychecker from debian/rules, and I'll keep this bug against pychecker
open until we can figure out the problem.  That way, the severity for
the pychecker bug can be set to normal (which is more appropriate
since AFAIK you're the only affected user), and users won't have any
problem building your package in the meantime.

Let me know what you think.

 The man page for pychecker omits many of the command-line switches

 a) update the man page to point users at --help for more complete

 is there any way of automatically generating this from --help?)

Hi,

Thanks for the bug report.  I would gratefully accept any patch
improving the manpage.  Otherwise, I will put this on my TODO list,
and I'll work on it the next time I have a chance. Unfortunately, I
don't know of a particularly easy way of generating the manpage from

Bug#453092: SPE pychecker2

2007-12-05 Thread Kenneth Pronovici
I heard back from Neal, and he doesn't mind me including pychecker2 in
the Debian package.  So, I have made the changes and I will upload
0.8.17-5 later this evening.

I changed my mind and decided to add the new code to the existing
Debian package, rather than making a special library package to hold
only pychecker2.  Just depend on pychecker and you should be able to
'import pychecker2' automatically from any version of python that
works with the python-support infrastructure.

I also applied the SPE patch to pychecker2/main.py, so the new Debian
package should be fully-compatible with SPE.  (The patch has been
submitted to SourceForge, as request #1845213.  Hopefully, we can get
it committed to CVS at some point, but there are lots of other pending
patches and it may be a while.)

Note: I have not done any testing other than to check that the import
succeeds, since I don't know what results are expected from this code.
 Please test and make sure that the new package works as expected.
Feel free to re-open this bug report if something isn't working
properly.

Thanks,

KEN

 So it would be great for us if you could please include pychecker2.

Hi,

I can put this code in the package... but I'm not sure that you would
benefit from bug fixes and new releases, etc.

Pychecker itself (the app) doesn't seem to use that code, and AFAIK
it's never actually been released.  I always thought it was just a
work-in-progress, and I can't recall Neal (upstream) ever checking
anything in to that directory.  (I've been following the CVS checkins
mailing list on SF for a few years now.)  I will double-check with
Neal and see what he thinks, just to be sure.

As far as mechanics of the package go, I'm thinking that I should
provide a new python-pychecker2 library package that is separate from
the existing pychecker package.  That way, you can depend more
specifically on what you need.  Does that sound like it would meet
your needs?

You've probably already checked before filing this bug report... but
has the Spe version of this code diverged at all from the Pychecker

I looked at the code, and I think that -u was lost accidentally.  The
--url option is still supported, and I think that the -u option was just
missed when Edward rewrote the argument processing code.  He kept around
single-character options in several other cases, including -o, -q, -v
and -h.  

I think that -c was lost in the same way as -u, since it's still 
documented in the manpage.  I'm less sure about -n, since it's no
longer documented.  However, I hope Edward will add it back in,
just for the sake of compatibility.

I submitted two patches upstream as a part of SF bug #1760001 (one for
-u and -c, another for -n) and I'll upload a new Debian package

I'll revert my change and upload manpage fixes instead.

Bug#308372: Eypdoc 3.0 beta 1 hopefully fixes encoding issue

2007-07-24 Thread Kenneth Pronovici
Stephane -

I think that this old Epydoc bug should be addressed in the new 3.0 beta
1 release.  Do you still have a test case around that you could check
against?

Upstream says:

   The intended behavior is that epydoc should *not* ignore the encoding
   of the source code, but it *should* always generate ascii xhtml file
   output.

   In particular, when epydoc reads in documentation, it converts them
   to unicode strings using whatever encoding is appropriate for the
   given source file.  When it writes the documentation, it writes it as
   ascii, but encodes all non-ascii characters using xhtml character
   references to the appropriate unicode codepoints.  On any browser
   that supports xhtml unicode character references, this should result
   in correctly displayed html output.  (Hopefully that's all browsers
   -- but I haven't done extensive testing).  

   One of the reasons that I chose this design is that the output files
   can sometimes mix text that originates from multiple source files;
   and those source files might be encoded using different encodings.
   So the only sensible thing to do is to convert everything to a common
   encoding.

   It would be possible, if desired, to add an option to epydoc that
   allows an 'output encoding' to be specified.  Any characters that
   could be encoded in that encoding would be; and any characters that
   could not be encoded would be represented using xhtml character
   references.

   So I have two questions:

   a) is the current design (encoding everything w/ character references)
   insufficient? If so, why?  (e.g., because browsers xyz don't handle
   charrefs correctly)

   b) if the current design is insufficient, would adding an option to
   specify the output encoding be sufficient?

What do you think??

Bug#425077: New dependencies

Eypdoc depends on the following utilities for its LaTeX functionality:

   /usr/bin/latex
   /usr/bin/makeindex
   /usr/bin/dvips
   /usr/bin/ps2pdf

The following packages provide these dependencies:

   texlive-latex-base: /usr/bin/latex
   texlive-base-bin: /usr/bin/makeindex, /usr/bin/dvips
   gs-common: /usr/bin/ps2pdf

If you follow the dependency chain back far enough, texlive-latex-base
depends on texlive-base-bin, so that gives us this new Recommends line:

Bug#425193: epydoc: New upstream available (3.0beta1)

2007-06-03 Thread Kenneth Pronovici
 I also had to use a weird version number (2.1+3.0beta1) so that later
 upgrades to 3.0 will be automatic.

Incidentally, there's no need for weird version numbers like this.
Version numbers now support ~ to cover exactly this circumstance.
See:

   http://lwn.net/Articles/194664/

A version number which contains ~ is always less than one which doesn't.
So, we can do the natural thing and release packages with versions
like this:

   3.0~beta1-1
   3.0~beta1-2
   3.0~beta2-1
   3.0~beta2-2
   3.0~beta2-3
   .
   .
   .
   3.0-1

I had to prove it to myself, but it does work as expected:

   # dpkg --compare-versions 3.0~beta1-1 lt 3.0-1  echo true || echo false
   true

Also, I have written Ed to see how he feels about packaging 3.0 beta 1.
When I hear back, I'll let you know.

I don't use the latex output much either.  I'm certainly open to

texlive-fonts-recommended

Bug#412626: O: babygimp

2007-02-26 Thread Kenneth Pronovici
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I am orphaning babygimp.

It doesn't work, upstream is dead and unresponsive, no one has stepped
forward to fix any of the bugs with it, and I am really not interested
in debugging nasty Perl-Tk incompatibilities. :)

I have also requested that babygimp be removed from the archive.  If
someone steps forward the claim the package (unlikely) then we can close
the bug against ftp.debian.org.

Bug#395917: babygimp: doesn't work with current version of perl-tk

2006-12-27 Thread Kenneth Pronovici

On 12/27/06, Gunnar Wolf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Hi,

Any update on babygimp's status? If it no longer works and cannot be
fixed, maybe the best course of action is to remove it from Etch?


AFAIK, babygimp should already be removed from Etch per an email I
sent earlier to the release team.  I checked qa.debian.org (on my
maintainer page) and no version of babygimp is currently listed in
testing, so I think things are OK.

I haven't had time to dig in and see what else can be easily done to
fix the problem, and I have not received any other emails from
interested parties.  I will probably remove the package from Debian
entirely sometime after etch is released.

Bug#404772: Please enhance run-parts to visually distinguish jobs in email

2006-12-27 Thread Kenneth Pronovici
Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-86
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

It's sometimes difficult to distinguish between output from the
different jobs run as part of cron.daily.  For instance, a recent email
I received contained these lines:

   run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/bugzilla exited with return code 1
   /etc/cron.daily/ntpdate:
   27 Dec 06:29:18 ntpdate[26274]: step time server 128.105.37.11 offset 
-5.239138 sec
   /etc/cron.daily/register_dns:
   ez-ipupdate Version 3.0.11b8
   .
   .
   .

You'll notice that three different jobs were run in this example.
However, because the output from all three scripts runs together, it's a
little difficult to read the email.  In this case, I missed the bugzilla
error for a couple of days.

It would be great if run-parts could visually distinguish between output
from each job that is run.  Possible options include a blank line
between jobs, a ruler (, ) between jobs, or perhaps a ruler and
start/stop timestamp around each job.

Anything that would make it easier to diffentiate between output from
two consecutive jobs would help me.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'll consider your patch.

I'm open to allowing other ways to specify the writer device.
However, I am not completely convinced (yet) that the right way to
solve the problem is to make the SCSI id optional.  I may instead
provide some other way to flag the condition.  Let me give it some
thought and do some testing on my own.

What kernel are you using -- a stock Debian one, or one you built
yourself?  If it's a stock Debian 2.6 kernel, that's great, because I
should be able to reproduce your situation and do direct testing.

Incidentally, the regression tests are likely failing now because
you've caused a fundamental assumption to be broken, i.e. that every
configuration has a SCSI device associated with it.  Any changes like
this ripple through the regression test suite, which is exactly what I
want to happen.   :)

In the descriptions of typical configuration process in chapter 4, sections

I think
this step is too early:  an administrator should first configure Cedar Backup, 
validate the configuration, test it,
(steps 6 thru 8 or 9) and only then if everything works enable cron jobs.


Yep, that's a reasonable suggestion.  I'll work on moving around the steps.

Bug#403546: cedar-backup2: no way to configure cedar-backup to use ATAPI CD-RW recorder

What happens when you execute this?

   cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI

On my sarge system (using cdrecord, not wodim), this gives back the cd
writer as one of the devices.  Then, I configure Cedar Backup to use
ATAPI:1,0,0 (or whatever) and it works.  I gather that on your system
using wodim, scanbus doesn't find anything?

If that's true, I agree -- it's either a bug or a regression in wodim
(perhaps that functionality was added after the point wodim was forked
from).

[snip]

Consider the following as well:  if there is more than one recorders on the
system, it's perfectly clear which one you're referring to when you pass
dev=/dev/cdrw where /dev/cdrw points to correct recorder device,
rather than mysterious dev=ATAPI:0,1,0 for example.
The first way makes much more sense.


If it works, yes, I agree that specifying the device is much less
ambiguous.  Cedar Backup should support that syntax somehow.

In an odd coincidence, someone else wrote the Cedar Backup user
mailing list today with the same problem.  So, that forces my hand and
I'll have to make a decision soon about how I'll fix it.


 What kernel are you using -- a stock Debian one, or one you built
 yourself?  If it's a stock Debian 2.6 kernel, that's great, because I
 should be able to reproduce your situation and do direct testing.

I use a custom-built kernel.  Tell me if you want the complete config
for it or just relevant options and I'll send it to you.


It may not matter.  I recently transplanted my DVD writer into a
different maching running etch (rather than sarge).  If the problem is
wodim-related, I should be able to reproduce it on that box.  Even if
I can't reproduce the problem, as long as I can test that passing
dev=/dev/cdrw works properly with wodim, this should be good enough.


 Incidentally, the regression tests are likely failing now because
 you've caused a fundamental assumption to be broken, i.e. that every
 configuration has a SCSI device associated with it.  Any changes like
 this ripple through the regression test suite, which is exactly what I
 want to happen.   :)

I also had broken the code --- if you set scsi_id tag it'll fail.
I'm just not accustomed to interpreted languages.  The following
additional patch should make it work the way it did when the tag is present
(though I didn't test it), and it reduces the number of failed unittests to only
about a dozen.


Ok, thanks.

Bug#403546: cedar-backup2: no way to configure cedar-backup to use ATAPI CD-RW recorder

2006-12-18 Thread Kenneth Pronovici

Hi Jörg,

I do appreciate the bug feedback -- but since this is a Debian bug
report, we have to deal with it in context of the packages available
in Debian, meaning wodim.  I realize this is probably not a situation
you are happy with, and I do sympathize -- but  the additional
advertisements for cdrecord vs. wodim are really not useful as a part
of this bug report.

If you want to have a private conversation on this subject with
Dmitry, I can certainly respect that.  However, let's please keep the
bug report discussion limited to things that I can actually fix in
Debian.

Thanks,

Looks like you did not check the recent cdrtools..

libscg now maps ATAPI (SCSI over ATA) to SCSI bus numbers 1000 ... 1025

Have a look at the latest cdrtools at:

Note that recent mkisofs versions (part of cdrtools) include libfind and thus
allow you to use the find(1) command line syntax in the mkisofs command line
and that mkisofs now for the first time has backup stability and allows to
create 100% accurate copies (the first time in the existence of mkisofs).

What happens when you execute this?

cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI


This is what I get on my development system (Debian etch, kernel
2.6.18-3-k7). when I run the various scanbus commands:

# cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATA
scsibus1:
   1,0,0   100) 'LITE-ON ' 'DVDRW SOHW-1673S' 'JS02' Removable CD-ROM

   0,4,0 4) *
   0,5,0 5) *
   0,6,0 6) *
   0,7,0 7) *

Now, previously, I would have told you that this means you should use
one of these SCSI ids:

   ATA:1,0,0
   ATAPI:0,0,0

However, wodim doesn't support ATAPI, and says it's deprecated.

   # cdrecord -prcap dev=ATAPI:0,0,0
   Warning, the ATAPI: method is considered deprecated on modern kernels!
   Mapping device specification to dev=0,0,0 now.
   To force the old ATAPI: method, replace ATAPI: with OLDATAPI:
   cdrecord: Invalid argument.
   Cannot open SCSI driver!
   For possible targets try 'wodim -scanbus'.
   For possible transport specifiers try 'wodim dev=help'.
   For IDE/ATAPI devices configuration, see the file
README.ATAPI.setup from
   the wodim documentation.

Instead, you have to use OLDATAPI.

I've checked, and I can successfully write a disk with either
ATA:1,0,0 or OLDATAPI:0,0,0 on my development system.   However, I/O
gets a little screwy with OLDATAPI -- the system is kind of
unresponsive -- and I'm not sure I can recommend using it.

Anyway, this suggests one change in Cedar Backup, which is to loosen
the regex around the SCSI parameter.  That's probably a good general
change so I don't need to release a new version of my software every
time a new method needs to be supported.  I've implemented it in
upstream Subversion as of revision 1014.

I'm going to dig a little further into your patch now and see what I
can do about supporting dev=/dev/cdrom and the like.

2006-12-18 Thread Kenneth Pronovici

I'm going to dig a little further into your patch now and see what I
can do about supporting dev=/dev/cdrom and the like.


Upstream Subversion revision 1016 contains functionality equivalent to
your patch. I made the target_scsi_id parameter optional, and added
a hardwareId attribute on CdWriter to use for dev= when talking to
cdrecord/wodim.

The hardwareId will be scsiId if provided, and device otherwise.  So,
if you leave off target_scsi_id, device will be used both for
cdrecord and for other filesystem operations (like mounting the media
for the write validation step).

I've tested the changes and they seem to work fine on my hardware.

Hi,

Thanks for the bug report and the patch.  Interestingly, I just fixed
the platfomr typo myself yesterday in the upstream source.  I'll fix
the other typo upstream too.

Note: I won't upload a new Debian package just to fix these typos.
Instead, the fixes will arrive in Debian with the next upstream

If you have any other feedback on the documentation, feel free to file
another Debian bug, write me directly, or discuss on the Cedar Backup

Hi, Florent,

Thanks for the patch!

You definitely solved the problem with starting the script.  I made a
few other changes, and was then able to successfully open an existing
XPM file .  (A patch relative to yours is attached.)

Unfortunately, the program still doesn't work properly, so I have to
leave this bug open.

When working in a new image, I can't consistently make the cursor draw
any pixels.  I did coax it into a partially working state a few times
-- once where it worked more-or-less normally and once where cursor
clicks seemed to result in 2-4 random pixels in the image -- but most
of the time drawing with the cursor doesn't seem to do anything.

Do you have any interest in debugging this further?  If you do, I
would really appreciate it.  If not, I understand, and appreciate your
help in getting me this far.

Thanks again,

I've already written upstream, and not only is the project dead, but

Hi,

Unfortunately, all of the email addresses I have available for
upstream have bounced.

I don't know enough about perl-tk to fix the problem right now.
Besides that, I'm not sure I want to become the de-facto upstream
for the package.

For the time being, I'm going to leave the bug open, but write the
release team and make sure that the package doesn't get released with
etch.  Eventually, if I can't find a good fix, I'll have the package
removed from Debian entirely.

Package: babygimp

I heard about this in private email from a user a month or so ago.  I
realized today while fixing #395577 that this user never bothered to
file an official bug report as requested (I was out of the country at
the time I received the email).

It doesn't look like babygimp works with the current version of perl-tk
(804.027 as of this writing).

This sort of error occurs for most of the rest of the similar lines
around line 575 (i.e. commenting out this line doesn't make a
difference).

I've already written upstream (Christian) to see if he can fix it any
time soon.  I guess if he can't, I'll request that babygimp be removed
from Debian.
