Bug#387230: fglrx-kernel-src: the module build is sucessfull, but it cant be loaded by kernel

2007-01-06 Thread Thomas Hühn
Hi

I think I have the same problem, but since I'm running etch and etch doesn't 
have gcc-4.0, I'm out of luck, am I not?

Rebuilding Kernel and Driver with gcc-3.4 wouldn't help, would it?

Bug#404471: Is wacom-kernel-source really needed?

2006-12-26 Thread Thomas Hühn

Hi

Oh, I didn't know that. When I was installing Debian quite some time ago I 
needed that package. I'll try and see today whether it works without.


Thanks for pointing this out. Maybe you could add something a remark to the 
package description?

Bug#404471: wacom-kernel-source: cannot build/install using m-a or adept

2006-12-25 Thread Thomas Hühn
Package: wacom-kernel-source
Version: 0.7.4.1-5
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source

Hi

I'd like to get wacom-kernel-source building.

When I do a m-a auto-build wacom I see the ncurses dialog
Build of the package wacom-kernel-source failed! How do you
wish to proceed?, but VIEW doesn't show a build log, so I exit.

Then I try installing the package wacom-kernel-source in adept:

/var/lib/dpkg/info/wacom-kernel-source.postinst: line 49: [: too many
arguments
Warning: kernel headers don't match running Linux version.
Building wacom modules for Linux _CODE 13262 (this may take a few
minutes)...

and it exits the installation.

I have linux-image-2.6-686 and linux-image-2.6.18-3-686
installed, as well as linux-headers-2.6-686,
linux-headers-2.6.18-3 and linux-headers-2.6.18-3-686.

That should be okay, shouldn't it?

Bug#311843: severity?

2006-12-22 Thread Thomas Hühn

Hi

I just fell into the very same trap.

I suggest you do the following:

a) make crystal clear in the packages description (as shown by aptitude) 
that this has nothing to do with secure-apt.


This tool inspects and verifies package signatures based on predetermined 
policies. sounds just like use this if you want packages verified.


b) ensure that installing the package doesn't break the whole package system

If this is a problem of dpkg, fine, but please do something about it.

It's really confusing.

Especially if debsig-verify is just one of a lot of packages to be 
installed, the installation fails from some point on and you get many many 
error messages. At first I wasn't even sure which package needed to be 
uninstalled. debsig-verify? dpkg-sig? (I think there was another one that 
seemed to have something to do with package signing)

   wrong. :-/
   That would be a wishlist item for me, though.
 
 I'm not sure I understand this wishlist item actually. When you get to the
 partitioning step of the installer, on the first screen, you should have
 an option named Automatically install using lvm and crypto or something
 like that (can't check the exact naming right now). If you choose that
 option, it will automatically partition the harddrive using a regular boot
 partition and encrypted LVM devices for the rest.
 
 Is this not what you requested?

Yes, it seems so. Does Automatically mean that I can't influence the
size of the partitions? That's probably why I chose the manual option.

And after that I could define partitions as crypto volume or something
like that, but I couldn't give it a file system and mount point.

Greetings
Thomas

Bug#379787: minor

2006-07-25 Thread Thomas Hühn
Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.50-8sarge2
Severity: minor

/usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.gz says

Benefits of the unsplit configuration approach:
   * It is more fragile.

Being more fragile is a strange kind of benefit. :-)

Suggestion: Either Downsides to... or It is less fragile...
