Bug#579821: grep: It is an expected change in behavior, not a bug

[Romain Couturat]

Package: grep
Followup-For: Bug #579821

Dear Maintainer,

inside [], '-' separates ranges, unless it is the first or last thing in [].
Ex : [-ac] means '-', 'a' or 'c', whereas [a-c] means 'a', 'b' or 'c'.
Thus [\-.] is a range (for example it matchs '[' or '@'). 
Beware ranges may depend on your local.
grep does not authorize reversed ranges anymore, for consistency
(see 
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=grep.git;a=blob;f=tests/reversed-range-endpoints;h=e80c07a0cc9ce4b6b433b0c3591d28e7d5002e17;hb=159c02545be1bd4342d27c7ea5b9d06459d3c8aa
 )
($ echo hello| grep [c-a] = grep: Invalid range end, whereas a-c works 
as expected).

Bug#667061: gnome-shell fails to load segfaulting

[Romain Couturat]

I could not use bugreport then.
It's not necessary anymore, as the last update resolved my problem.
Thanx, nice job.

Bug#667061: gnome-shell fails to load segfaulting

[Romain Couturat]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.2.2.1-3

 When trying to lad gnome-shell from gdm, it crashes.
 I followed instruction for debugging from
 http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Debugging
 here is the output :

me@debian:~$ ~/xenv.sh

I am using today's latest packages from sid (the bt is from a fully up to
date system).
I did not restart gnome shell or my system for say, a week, so the bug may
not come from latest package releases.
I tried to downgrade gnome-shell and gnome-shell-common to 3.2.2.1-2 (from
wheezy), no luck.
Then I tried to downgrade dbus (even if that no might be a good idea) to
actual wheezy version, same problem .
Finally I downgraded gnome-shell (and according direct dependencies) to
3.2.1-8, as I am sure it was a previous working version.
Still no luck.
That's making me thinking that the bug might not come from gnome-shell
package itself.

Not accessing the computer right now, I will post more information
regarding this bug shortly.
