Bug#605751: apt autoremove (still) tries to remove essential packages
Package: apt
Version: 0.8.8
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Bug 598452 fixes a problem like mine, but with that present, apt is trying to
remove grub-pc and others that I'm sure I need.
I've marked ones I think I still need with a '*' prefix in the apt-get
autoremove
output below. I don't know which others I might really need from this list.

Bug#566501: switching virtual consoles during boot or when using setupcon/
I saw something like the problem in bugs #566501 and #570338 since about February and just spent some time with a more knowledgeable collegue to investigate. I have two PCs that I run with the 'testing' distribution. On one of these PCs, from February thru July, I was able to change the line in /etc/default/console-setup from: VERBOSE_OUTPUT=no to VERBOSE_OUTPUT=yes to fix the problem on one of my systems. When I did a upgrade in August, the problem re-occurred, and the final VT could be any of tty[1-6] after booting. (My other PC never exhibited this problem in any way.) We found this thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/15/72, talking about a problem in /usr/bin/consolechars (package: console-tools) that seems to explain this problem as being in the kernel. We couldn't find any patch that fixed it. '/usr/bin/consolechars' is used by '/bin/setupcon' which is used in '/etc/init.d/console-setup' (both in package: console-setup) which is where my system seemed to have the problem. I hacked '/bin/setupcon' to save the vt number at entry (from '/bin/fgconsole') and restored it at exit (with '/usr/bin/chvt'). This fixed the problem on my PC. '/usr/bin/consolechars' is also used by /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh (package: console-tools) which might explain the behavior in bug #566501. I found it is also used by '/usr/bin/charset' and '/usr/bin/unicode_start' (also package: console-tools). Hope this helps Paul Higgins -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
Bug#543304: /usr/bin/X: Options -showDefaultModulePath and -showDefaultLibPath return extraneous text
Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.3+19 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/X I was installing an updated video driver on my system. (Nvidia's: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.20-pkg1.run) It complained about not being able to retrieve the module and lib paths for the installed configuration. Fortunately it's defaults worked for my system. I traced the error to the command options mentioned. Here is sample output on my PC: === r...@higginsp6(1):~# X -showDefaultModulePath X: warning; process set to priority -2 instead of requested priority 0 /usr/lib/xorg/modules r...@higginsp6(1):~# X -showDefaultLibPath X: warning; process set to priority -2 instead of requested priority 0 /usr/lib === The X: warning line is unexpected. I don't think it is reasonable to expect users of these command options to ignore this. (I will also report this to NVidia too.) I obviously don't know if X is where the message originates. I trust this will be redirected as needed. BTW: Why can't these command options work when X is running? I get the message: X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. Seems like these information options should work anytime, anywhere. -- Package-specific info: Contents of /var/lib/x11/X.roster: xserver-xorg /var/lib/x11/X.md5sum does not exist.

Bug#501866: Missing dependancy - libpango1.0-common.prerm uses defoma-app in pkg defoma
Package: libpango1.0-common Version: 1.20.5-2 Severity: normal I dusted off a system that hasn't been upgraded since Oct of 2007. Upgrading it required a big leap in package versions. The upgrade of perl, perl-base, and perl-modules caused several problems. (I'm filing this report for each package involved, as I'm not sure where the problem is.) The following excerpts from my upgrade process (and the dpkg.log excerpt that follows) show all my apparent dependancy problems. I suspect that the half-configure / half-install / unpack step for perl-modules removed the required modules from the /usr/share/perl/5.8.8 tree. The prerm or postrm scripts for these packages use either /usr/bin/defoma-app or /usr/sbin/install-docs (in packages defoma and doc-base). Those in turn reference files in perl-modules already removed, causing libtiff4 to abort the install. In summary: fontconfig.prerm, libpango1.prerm, and libwmf0.2-7.postrm all invoke /usr/bin/defoma-app; which needs File/Copy.pm from perl-modules. It was able to continue using the prerm script from the new package. libpng12-0.prerm, libtiff4.prerm, base-passwd.postinst, cupsys.prerm, and shared-mime-info.prerm invoke /usr/sbin/install-docs which needs Pod/Usage.pm from perl-modules.

Bug#501872: Missing dependancy - libtiff4.prerm (now libtif-doc.prerm?) uses install-docs in pkg doc-base
Package: libtiff4 Version: 3.8.2-11 Severity: normal I dusted off a system that hasn't been upgraded since Oct of 2007. Upgrading it required a big leap in package versions. The upgrade of perl, perl-base, and perl-modules caused several problems. (I'm filing this report for each package involved, as I'm not sure where the problem is.) The following excerpts from my upgrade process (and the dpkg.log excerpt that follows) show all my apparent dependancy problems.

Bug#501875: Missing dependancy - shared-mime-info.prerm uses install-docs in pkg doc-base
Package: shared-mime-info Version: 0.30-2 Severity: normal I dusted off a system that hasn't been upgraded since Oct of 2007. Upgrading it required a big leap in package versions. The upgrade of perl, perl-base, and perl-modules caused several problems. (I'm filing this report for each package involved, as I'm not sure where the problem is.) The following excerpts from my upgrade process (and the dpkg.log excerpt that follows) show all my apparent dependancy problems. I suspect that the half-configure / half-install / unpack step for perl-modules removed the required modules from the /usr/share/perl/5.8.8 tree. The prerm or postrm scripts for these packages use either /usr/bin/defoma-app or /usr/sbin/install-docs (in packages defoma and doc-base). Those in turn reference files in perl-modules already removed, causing libtiff4 to abort the install. In summary: fontconfig.prerm, libpango1.prerm, and libwmf0.2-7.postrm all invoke /usr/bin/defoma-app; which needs File/Copy.pm from perl-modules. It was able to continue using the prerm script from the new package. libpng12-0.prerm, libtiff4.prerm, base-passwd.postinst, cupsys.prerm, and shared-mime-info.prerm invoke /usr/sbin/install-docs which needs Pod/Usage.pm from perl-modules. I had a backup of the /usr/share/perl/5.8.8 tree, which I reloaded to aloow me to complete the upgrade. output list from apt-get upgrade, et. al. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# apt-get -f dist-upgrade ...

Bug#494477: Additional info on failure...
I've upgraded three systems to use 2.6.26 kernels. (2.6.26-5 or 2.6.25-6) and see this problem on all of them. (One has a P2, another a P3, and the last a P4 CPU.) Booting an old 2.6.25-5 kernel from grub makes the problem go away. The insert key is a mode.. On odd presses it disables the keys and on even presses they work again. Using showkey I found: showkey --scancodes shows the same output when the keys are working or not. showkey --keycodes is the same. showkey --keymap output three bytes for each arrow key only when the keys work (else nothing). Hope this helps. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

libstdc++6 (due to apt) 40 upgraded, 31 newly installed, 95 to remove and 6 not upgraded. Need to get 14.7MB/49.1MB of archives. After unpacking 158MB disk space will be freed.
