Bug#481140: ghc6: timer_create: invalid argument on powerpc
This issue left one of my systems complaining every time I performed an apt-get operation. apt-get install, apt-get remove, and apt-get upgrade would all print similar errors to this: $ sudo dpkg --no-triggers --remove ghc6 (Reading database ... 134569 files and directories currently installed.) Removing ghc6 ... haskell-utils: timer_create: Invalid argument dpkg: error processing ghc6 (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 haskell-utils: timer_create: Invalid argument dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: ghc6 The fix was to replace haskell-utils (which was broken) with this: #!/bin/bash echo Skipping haskell-utils $@ Then I was able to remove ghc6 without errors.

Bug#457512: tzdata: Australia/Melbourne time zone missing
Package: tzdata Version: 2007j-1etch1 Severity: normal My default time zone is Australia/Victoria. I wanted to change this to Australia/Melbourne, as I understand the preferred form is now Content/City. This time zone exists on my Red Hat system, but not on my Debian system. I note the time zone appears in the upstream sources, so it could be that the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory was created by an earlier version of the tzdata package and the upgrade to 2007j didn't handle this properly. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-eagle Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I just purged and re-installed, and Australia/Melbourne is now there. It seems that was the only one missing for Australia. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#429776: tar: man page implies first file name is mandatory
Package: tar Version: 1.16-2 Severity: minor The synopsis has: tar [ - ] A --catenate --concatenate | c --create | d --diff --compare | --delete | r --append | t --list | u --update | x --extract --get [ options ] pathname [ pathname ... ] pathnames are not mandatory (they are mandatory arguments to options such as -f, not mandatory parameters to tar itself), for instance tar can be run using tar -t to list all the files in the current archive on the default tape device. The second [ pathname ... ] covers the general case, so the first pathname should be removed: tar [ - ] A --catenate --concatenate | c --create | d --diff --compare | --delete | r --append | t --list | u --update | x --extract --get [ options ] [ pathname ... ] Also note that pathname arguments don't just specify the files to add to the archive when creating the archive, they also specify which files to extract when using the -x option. Current text: The final arguments to tar are the names of the files or directories which should be archived. Proposed text: The final arguments to tar are the names of the files or directories which should be archived or extracted. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-eagle Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages tar depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries tar recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#426520: linux-source-2.6.18: several config items missed from make oldconfig
Package: linux-source-2.6.18 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2 Severity: important I installed the linux-source-2.6.18 package and used it to upgrade from an old Linux 2.6.11 install. After running make oldconfig, compiling, and installing the new kernel, I got the following error messages during system initialization: iptables v1.3.6: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. iptables v1.3.6: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. iptables was working fine in my previous kernel. I discovered that several components, such as iptable_filter had not been built, and that they were not enabled in the new .config file. I re-booted into 2.6.11 and re-ran the make oldconfig on a clean copy of the sources. The first message it printed showed that it had found the correct old config file: # # using defaults found in /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle # It then printed the following error messages: /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:16:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol CLEAN_COMPILE /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:32:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol KOBJECT_UEVENT /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:41:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol CC_ALIGN_FUNCTIONS /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:42:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol CC_ALIGN_LABELS /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:43:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol CC_ALIGN_LOOPS /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:44:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol CC_ALIGN_JUMPS /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:85:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol X86_EMU486 /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:149:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol PCI_LEGACY_PROC /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:150:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol PCI_NAMES /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:349:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol NETLINK_DEV /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:364:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_TCPDIAG /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:365:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_TCPDIAG_IPV6 /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:388:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_MATCH_LIMIT /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:390:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_MATCH_MAC /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:391:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_MATCH_PKTTYPE /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:392:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_MATCH_MARK /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:393:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_MATCH_MULTIPORT /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:398:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_MATCH_AH_ESP /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:399:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_MATCH_LENGTH /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:401:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_MATCH_TCPMSS /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:402:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_MATCH_HELPER /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:403:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_MATCH_STATE /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:404:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_MATCH_CONNTRACK /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:407:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_MATCH_REALM /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:408:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_MATCH_SCTP /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:409:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_MATCH_COMMENT /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:431:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_TARGET_MARK /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:432:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_TARGET_CLASSIFY /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:434:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_TARGET_NOTRACK /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:475:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol NET_QOS /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:505:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol ETHERTAP /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:560:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol E100_NAPI /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:647:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol SOUND_GAMEPORT /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:690:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol SERIAL_8250_MULTIPORT /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:853:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol DEVFS_FS /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:854:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol DEVPTS_FS_XATTR /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:855:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol DEVPTS_FS_SECURITY /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:857:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol TMPFS_XATTR /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:988:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol PAX /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:993:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol PAX_SOFTMODE /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:994:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol PAX_EI_PAX /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:995:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol PAX_PT_PAX_FLAGS /boot/config-2.6.11-eagle:996:warning: trying to
Bug#395316: nagios2-common: should rotate log files quietly
Package: nagios2-common Version: 2.5-1 Severity: normal Every day, nagios2's log files are rotated via /etc/logrotate.d/nagios2-common (from the nagios2-common package). When it does this, it produces output on stdout, which causes an email to be sent. This email is pretty annoying. The relevant lines are: postrotate /etc/init.d/nagios2 reload endscript Most other packages send their output to /dev/null when reloading this way.
