 [1] set(log.file.path,/tmp/lig.pid.log)
 
set(log.file.path, Filename.temp_file liguidsoap .log)

would probably work (untested, though).

Bug#492837: Severity

2008-10-10 Thread Chanoch (Ken) Bloom
severity 492837 grave
tags 492837 etch-ignore
thanks

I'm elevating the severity of this bug to grave (makes the package in
question unusable or mostly so...) because iceweasel 3 is in both
lenny and sid, so this package really should be removed from lenny if
it's not updated.

Bug#501516: Main-Class: entry has space appended by jh_manifest

 This is called to write out entries such as Main-Class and it always
 appends a space after each entry. But sun-java-6 doesn't work if the
 Main-Class entry is followed by a space.
 
 A fix for this is to prepend a space, except for the first line,
 rather than always appending a space.

Thanks, I've uploaded a fix for this.

 You should probably also handle the case when a word is greater than
 71 characters, although I don't know what the standard allows for in
 this case (or indeed if there is a standard).

Me neither, so I'm going to ignore it at the moment.

Bug#501829: kball: editor should be more user-friendly

2008-10-10 Thread Russell Coker
Package: kball
Version: 0.0.20041216-5
Severity: normal

When you are in the editor, if you press L to load a file it will immediately
infom you that it will replace the current level and ask for confirmation.
This is annoying when you have just entred the editor or have just saved the
level.  It should avoid that prompt when nothing has changed.

When exiting the editor, if there are no unsaved changes then again there is
no need for confirmation.

There should be a relatively easy way of editing a level that was shipped with
the game.  kgoldrunner does this well.  Some way of just pressing a key while
playing the game to jump to the editor for that level would be good.

When in the editor there should be a help screen describing what the meanings
are of the different types of tile.

The editor should support user generated campaigns and automatically assign
level numbers to new levels.  kgoldrunner is a good example of how to do this.

I'm submitting a patch for this bug [file Samsung_ML-2010-bug.dpatch)
(taken from upstream subversion with

svn diff -r69:70

Changelog entry:

r70 | ap2c | 2007-02-10 11:17:26 -0300 (sáb 10 de feb de 2007) | 2 lines
changed paths:

Correct a bug for the ML-2010 printer

Also I'm submitting the .dsc and .diff.gz files for rebuilding the
Debian packages. (So probably you only need to modify the
ChangeLog (replacing my name with yours, etc.)

I've tested this with my printer. Please fix this issue for Lenny..

I've applied my patch using dpatch since your rules files includes
rules for this. Lintian complains since you have applied
patches directly, and the rules file uses a patch system (but this is
clearly only a cosmetic issue)

Bug#500540: kdebase: automounting vfat (partialy) case sensitive due to utf8 is plain wrong and dangerous

2008-10-10 Thread Teemu Likonen
Heinrich Langos [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Now lets try again with more sane vfat options:

 # mount | grep vfat
 /dev/sda1 on /mnt type vfat 
 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uhelper=hal,flush,uid=1000,shortname=lower,check=relaxed,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1)

 As you see it is not perfect as the TEST file gets only created as
 test. My guess is that shortname=mixed instead of
 shortname=lower should be used but don't take my word for it.

shortname=mixed works nicely with utf8 flag, and command

touch test Test teSt

touches the same file three times.

 And who came up with the idea to mount vfat with utf8 anyway? It was
 never designed to take short utf8 names. Those are strictly 8.3 and if
 you try to stick utf8 characters in there, you get all kinds of length
 checking problems. Long names on vfat are stored in unicode anyway. So
 whats the big gain here? For the sake of squeezing utf8 into places
 where it never was ment to be, we get messed up filesystems?

I admit that some of the ideas may have come from me. I have described
one aspect of this issue in the kernel bug #417324:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=417324

I'm pretty confused with all these iocharset, codepage and utf8
flags but I'm certain that in Debian Etch (and its default locale
settings [UTF-8] and kernel settings) filenames get converted totally
wrong.

Long filenames in FAT filesystem are in the form we call UTF-16 today.
In default Etch system FAT's UTF-16 filenames get converted to
ISO-8859-1 if the filesystem is not mounted with utf8 flag. The other
direction is so that Etch's UTF-8 filenames are assumed to be in
ISO-8859-1 and, since it's a single-byte encoding, every byte (even in a
UTF-8 multibyte character) gets converted separately to UTF-16. This
produces complete garbage of course.
 
KDE is nice enough to use utf8 flag but someone reported that Gnome
does not (or at least did not) mount with this flag. Thus it produces
filenames which are unreadable in other systems (including MS Windows).

I guess the change in kernel settings made you see this issue after
upgrading from Etch to Lenny. The option CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET
was changed from iso-8859-1 to utf8.

 As far as I have seen in archives and related bug reports the blame
 for this problem gets shifted around from KDE to pmount to the kernel
 itself and all the way back. Everybody happily points fingers at the
 others.

This seems to be pretty complicated. We have to make

VFAT/UTF-16  --  Debian/UTF-8

conversion work somehow, and in Etch it does not work (except when KDE
does the mounting). In Lenny the conversion currently works by default
with just mount without any options; this is because the change in the
kernel settings.

But then there's the issue you reported... :-( In my experience
shortname=mixed works nicely without character case problems.

Bug#501831: libsdl1.2debian-all: caca support not compiled in anymore

2008-10-10 Thread Ivan Vucica
Package: libsdl1.2debian-all
Version: 1.2.13-2
Severity: minor

Greetings,

apparently SDL no longer includes libcaca support. Looking at the
changelog:
  
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/libs/libsdl1.2/current/changelog.txt
I can only find references to libcaca being ADDED, and not REMOVED. I
therefore presume this is a bug and am setting severity to minor
instead of wishlist. Is there a chance of libcaca being reenabled?

Previously I thought SDL had no caca support but a Google search told me
otherwise; I find aalib a bit boring after all the time I spent showing
people that people did it, and would like to use caca, and I'm sure
I'm not alone.

My test consisted of running my project like this:
 SDL_VIDEODRIVER=caca ./yatc
according to instructions I found for running wormux. Also I tried
running qemu the same way.

Could someone take a look?
And again, is there a chance of libcaca being reenabled?

Bug#501832: aptitude: query-only actions should work for user 'nobody'

2008-10-10 Thread Eugene V. Lyubimkin
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.10-1
Severity: minor

I (script, actually) want to run query-only actions of aptitude, such as
'search', as 'nobody' user (rationale: prevent aptitude from locking the
/var/lib/dpkg/lock (and fail then) when other instances of apt or dpkg
are running). 

But now aptitude tries to create /nonexistent/.aptitude when runned as
'nobody' and obviously fails.

2008/10/4 Raphael Geissert [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 2008/10/4 Arjen de Korte [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 Citeren Arnaud Quette [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 you missed to add an entry in drivers/tripplite-hid.c
 -tripplite_claim() for that ;-)

 And beware that you need to put it in the correct place as well. Some Tripp
 Lite HID devices (incorrectly) report battery voltage in decivolts so we
 need to apply a correction factor here. So there are basically two groups in
 this function. One that reports battery voltage in decivolts (productid
 1003, 2005 and 2007) and one that reports battery voltage in volts
 (productid 3012, 4002, 4003). Before committing this change, we need to see
 the output of 'upsc' to know what it reports.

 In the attached patch I've added it to the first group, as I'd expect
 it to behave just like 1003 (the avr550u model).

applied to the trunk, thanks.

 the driver with -DDD on the command line, and look for messages

you can try to ask TL to disclose the Usage Table (ie the lookup

Bug#501820: [Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#501820: fglrx-driver breaks DRI for xserver-xorg-video-radeon

2008-10-10 Thread Felix Homann

Hi Romain,

if it's a wontfix there should at least be a note about the issue in 
the package documentation.


If it's not mentioned anywhere people who have tried (and thus installed 
) the fglrx driver will think the radeon driver is broken. At least 
that's what I thought...

when fglrx-driver is installed DRI is broken for the open source radeon/ati

Yep, this is surely a consequence of the private version of libGL installed by 
fglrx. Just uninstall it and it should be fixed.

Right, I tagged wontfix since we won't remove the private libGL package.
However, this issue could be stated in its description.

Bug#409531: nbd-server: timeout option not very useful

2008-10-10 Thread Vagrant Cascadian
over the last year on several occasions, i've seen folks spend a couple
of hours debugging this option and coming to the same results ... it
times out weather it's being used or not.

the -a timeout option is just plain broken.

would it be possible to either disable this option entirely, or at the
very least, document that it's broken and recommend using keepalive
timeouts instead in the man page?

thanks for maintaining nbd!

live well,

  Package: smbfs
  Version: 2:3.2.3-1
 
  I'm no expert on samba/cifs but something has changed recently. I've used
  smbfs for mounting filesystems of other machines on my LAN for years, with
  no problems once permissions are all sorted out. 
 
  In the past year or so I've noticed dozens of files appearing on my console
  in green (executable) - things like .txt files, which should never get +x. 
 
  I've traced this to samba. Now, whenever I copy/move a file onto a mounted
  smbfs filesystem, or create a new file on such a filesystem, the file
  automatically gets permissions 755. 
 
  Presumably the permissions of new files are controlled by a umask setting
  somewhere - I can't see one on the manual page of mount.cifs, so maybe it's
  done in the samba server config. But why would existing files have their
  attributes changed when they're copied or moved onto a smbfs filesystem?
  This seems to be a bug - surely samba should not mess with file attributes
  unless the user explicitly tells it to do so. 
 
 Are you sure this is happening when you move files?  I see it when I copy
 files, but not when I move them.

Yes. I have just confirmed this by moving a plain text file onto a samba
share (/home/chrisc on the server mounted as /home/chrisc/MyDocs on the
client). Bizarrely, I received the following error message: 

mv: setting permissions for `MyDocs/text.txt': Permission denied

... but still the +x attribute was set! So does that mean it wasn't set
by the mv command, but by the samba server? 

In case it helps, I attach the smb.conf file for the server. 

 The reason for this is that 'mv' or 'cp -p' will explicitly set the file
 mode with fchmod(); if you run 'cp' without the '-p' option, then the mode
 on the new file is not copied separately, it's expected to be set by the
 option passed to open() which comes from the user's umask.
 
 It looks like this is somehow related to the handling of 'map archive'
 between client and server.  If you set 'map archive = no', then the
 executable bit is not set.

Sorry to be dim, but you mean set that in smb.conf, yes? 

 This is only a workaround, though - it's still a bug if our POSIX client is
 getting the execute bit set when the user isn't asking for it.

Thanks for the reply,

Chris

Really good catch! Now it runs for 65 seconds, exits with zero and the

Bug#501845: fvwm: FvwmScript-Quit better should use sudo commands for shutdown and reboot

2008-10-10 Thread Mitsch Jarosch
Package: fvwm
Version: 1:2.5.26-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The FvwmScript-Quit script contains the following lines to shutdown and reboot 
the computer as a (normal) user:

[...]
Begin
  If $ToDo == Logout Then
Do {Exec sync}
Do {Exec /sbin/shutdown -r now}
Quit
End
  Else
Begin
Do {Exec sync}
Do {Exec /sbin/shutdown -h now}
Quit
End
[...]


I don't know how the author thought it should be used by a user. In 
/usr/share/doc/fvwm/docs/FAQ.gz one can read:


3.16  How do I set up an fvwm menu item that shuts down my Linux machine?

A:  Write a little shell script to run the shutdown command.

Install sudo on your system [...]

Set up the sudoers config file to allow you [...] to run that script 
with root permissions.

Add a menu item to your fvwm root menu [...] that invokes 'sudo 
/my/script/name'.


I solved the problem for me by editing the sudoers file and the FvwmScript-Quit 
file.
I attached my version of FvwmScript-Quit to let you include it in future 
versions of fvwm, if you like.
In fact, I just put a sudo before every shutdown command. So, it was not that 
much work.
But it's my first patch for debian and I'm so proud... :)

Bug#501847: kexec-tools: Please document the changed reboot behaviour.

2008-10-10 Thread Phil Endecott
Package: kexec-tools
Version: 20080324-2
Severity: normal


I've just installed kexec-tools and was surprised to find that, rather than just
packaging the kexec executable, you have installed a script so that kexec is 
used
when I reboot.  I didn't want that.  This feature - and how to disable it - are
not described in the documentation as far as I can see.  Can you please add some
documentation describing this?  I would also vote for disabling it by default.

It also seems that the kernel which you run will not in general be the one that
was running before the reboot.  Is that what users would have expected?

Bug#475993: fslview: FTBFS: application.h:25:19: error: qlist.h: No such file or directory

2008-10-10 Thread Yaroslav Halchenko

 There is a problem on ARM the let's uic-qt3 segfault:

 http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=fslviewver=3.0.2%2B4.1.0-1arch=armstamp=1222355159file=log

doh -- thanks to Martin Guy we got access to ARM box, so I
troubleshooted segfault to find that it happens at ucm_instantiate, and
googling for it lead me instantly to

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=492538

which was exactly about the issue, with a fix being turn off
optimization, and which got fixed/uploaded TODAY ;-)

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Bug#492538: fixed in vtk 5.0.4-1.1
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 10:32:12 +

thanks to From: peter green [EMAIL PROTECTED] who suggested
disabling optimization,

so -- soon fslview should build fine I guess on arm ;-) buildd just would
need to be kicked to initiate rebuild

 This prevented (and still prevents) fslview from moving into testing. I
 have tagged the bug with 'help', but got none so far.

Bug#501849: Please permit installation with an empty user password

2008-10-10 Thread Emmet Hikory
Package: user-setup
Version: 1.23
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Usertags: origin-ubuntu intrepid ubuntu-patch

When performing an install, the user cannot proceed without entering a
non-empty password.  This remains the case even when an empty password
has been specifically preseeded.

For most use cases, this is clearly entirely the correct behaviour.  In
those rare cases where someone really, really, wants to have an empty
password for an automatically created user, it would be nice if
user-setup would allow this directly, rather than requiring workarounds
such as reset with late_command.

The attached patch creates an additional internal-use-only preseed
boolean: passwd/allow-password-empty which when set to true allows the
use of an empty password, either interactively or through preseeding.
Users will still be asked for a password, but will not be forced to
enter one.

I've created the patch against revision 56349 in SVN, but would be happy
to update it to a newer revision with modifications if requested.

Bug#475958: document procedure to recover from /dev/hda became /dev/sda boot failure

2008-10-10 Thread Giovanni Rapagnani

Hi,

I have written something addressing this issue. I give it with all the rights 
under the term of the GPLv2.


Please let me know if something is wrong or badly written.

Even if I was unable to reproduce this bug, I tried to simulate it and tested 
successfully the 2 first solutions. The solution 3 being very similar to solution 2.


Hope this help.
Giovanni


Title : boot hangs on 'Waiting for root file system'
Title : recover from /dev/hda became /dev/sda boot failure

Some users have reported that an upgrade could cause the kernel not finding
the system root partition after a system reboot.

In such case, the system boot will hang on the following message:
 Waiting for root file system ...
and after a few seconds a bare busybox prompt will show.

This problem can occur when the upgrade of the kernel introduces the use of
the new generation of IDE drivers. The IDE disk naming convention for the
old drivers was hda, hdb, hdc, hdd. The new drivers will name the same disks
respectively sda, sdb, sdc, sdd. The problem appears when the upgrade does not
generate a new '/boot/grub/menu.lst' file to take the new naming convention
into account. During the boot, Grub will pass a system root partition to the
kernel that the kernel doesn't find.

There are several ways to recover from such a problem.

Solution 1 :
This is applicable when Grub shows you the menu interface for selecting
the entry you want to boot from. If such menu does not appear, try
pressing 'ESC' key before the kernel boots in order to make it appear.
If you can't get into this menu, try solution 2 or 3.

In the Grub menu, highlight the entry you want to boot from. Press 'e' key
to edit the options related to this entry. You will see something like :
  root (hd0,0)
  kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=/dev/hda6 ro
  initrd /initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686

Highlight the line
  kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=/dev/hda6 ro

press 'e' key and replace 'hdX' with 'sdX' ('X' being the letter 'a','b',
'c' or 'd' depending of your system), In my example the line becomes:
  kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=/dev/sda6 ro

Then press 'ENTER' to save the modification. If other lines show 'hdX',
change these line too. Don't modify the entry similar to 'root (hd0,0)'.
Once all modifications are done, press 'b' key. And your system should now
boot as usual.

If this solution worked. Login to your system, make a backup of the
'/boot/grub/menu.lst' file. Then generate a new '/boot/grub/menu.lst'
by issuing with root privileges the command:
  update-grub

Edit '/boot/grub/menu.lst' and make sure all occurences of 'hdX' were replaced
by 'sdX'. There is nothing wrong with the lines similar to:
  root(hd0,0)
just leave it as it is.

Reboot your system, it should reboot correctly.

Solution 2 :
Boot from a debian installation media (cd/dvd) and when prompt, type
'rescue' to launch the rescue mode. Select your language, location, keyboard
mapping, let it configure the network no matter if it success or not. After a
while, you should be asked for selecting a partition you want to use as root
file system. The proposed choices will look something like:
 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2
 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5
 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6

If you know which partition is your root file system, choose the right one. If
you don't, just try with the first. If it complains about an invalid root file
system partition, try the next one, and so on. Trying one after the other
shouldn't arm your partitions and if you have only one system installed on your
disks, you should easily find the right root file system partition. If you have
many systems installed on your disks, it would be better to know exactly which
is the right partition.

Once you have choosen a partition, you will be proposed among several actions.
Make the choice of executing a shell in the selected partition. If it complains
that it cannot do that then try with another partition.

Now you should have shell access as user root on your root file system
mounted on '/'. You need access to the /boot, /sbin and /usr directories
content. If these directories need to be mounted from other partitions, do it.
(see '/etc/fstab' if you have no idea of which partition to mount)

Make a backup of the '/boot/grub/menu.lst' file. Then generate a new
'/boot/grub/menu.lst' by issuing with root privileges the command:
  update-grub

Edit '/boot/grub/menu.lst' and make sure all occurences of 'hdX' ( 'X' being
the letter 'a','b','c' or 'd' depending of your system) were replaced by 'sdX'.
There is nothing wrong with the lines similar to:
  root(hd0,0)
just leave it as it is.

Type 'exit' to leave the rescue shell
Then reboot your system, it should reboot correctly.

Solution 3 :
Boot from your favorite LiveCD distribution (Knoppix, Kaella, ...).
Mount the partition where your '/boot' directory is. If you don't know which
one it is, use the

Bug#501851: zsh: Completion fails if a directory name contains '(', ')' and 'Ą '.

2008-10-10 Thread Morita Sho
Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.6-7
Severity: normal

Hi,

Completion fails if a directory name contains '(', ')' and 'Ą '.
'Ą ' is U+0104 in unicode.

Following is a small example to reproduce the problem.

  % mkdir '()Ą'
  % touch '()Ą'/foo
  % ls '()Ą'/[TAB]
= I expected it completes foo, but it completes nothing.


If I renamed the directory name slightly, e.g. remove a parenthesis or
change 'Ą' to 'Ā ' (U+0100), it correctly completes foo.

Regards,

of hours; instead, it was likely downloading many diff files over that 
time.

This workaround is *not* a resolution to the bug, because:

* The downloads performed by ‘aptitude update’ took excessively long, 
  for data that I manually downloaded in a few minutes. Something is 
  causing the automatic process to take orders of magnitude longer 
  than a manual download of effectively the same data.

* The resulting, complex, filename for the unpacked ‘Packages.gz’ file 
  had to be manually determined by the user, whereas it would normally 
  be automatically managed by the ‘apt update’ process. This is not a 
  suitable procedure for a user to perform.

The correct resolution is to fix the download of diffs that are taking 
orders of magnitude longer than a manual download of the all-in-one 
file, so that ‘update’ is useable again. Unfrotunately for this 
purpose, I have now worked around the problem on this system, so 
cannot offer much more diagnostic help.

Bug#501851: zsh: Completion fails if a directory name contains '(', ')' and 'Ą '.

2008-10-10 Thread Clint Adams
On Sat, Oct 11, 2008 at 08:06:11AM +0900, Morita Sho wrote:
 Completion fails if a directory name contains '(', ')' and 'Ą '.
 'Ą ' is U+0104 in unicode.
 
 Following is a small example to reproduce the problem.
 
   % mkdir '()Ą'
   % touch '()Ą'/foo
   % ls '()Ą'/[TAB]
 = I expected it completes foo, but it completes nothing.
 
 
 If I renamed the directory name slightly, e.g. remove a parenthesis or
 change 'Ą' to 'Ā ' (U+0100), it correctly completes foo.

I get different but also unuseful behavior trying to reproduce that.

Bug#501852: base-passwd: No syslog / klogd user on Debian

2008-10-10 Thread Michael Biebl
Package: base-passwd
Version: 3.5.19
Severity: normal

users-and-groups has the following two entries:
klog

Used by klogd, the kernel logger.

syslog

Used by syslog, the general purpose logger.

This information is not correct on Debian. Debian does not use such a
group or user.

Cheers,
Michael

I can't testify it to be the exact same bug, but I did have the same
experience yesterday (or the day before); opening and closing the log
window caused Twinkle to crash.  Unfortunately, I can't add any more
information to this report, as the +unreproducible tag is indeed true.

Bug#501856: xulrunner-1.9: div/td backgrounds shift or do not align

2008-10-10 Thread Mark Hedges
Package: xulrunner-1.9
Version: 1.9.0.3-1
Severity: important


Backgrounds of table cells or of div elements do not line up
correctly.  This has been a problem since Iceweasel 3.0.1 and
it's starting to get difficult to use some sites.  It happens
in both Iceweasel and Epiphany, but not in Konqueror.

See http://www.boardmod.org - backgrounds of table headers
are supposed to be even gradients with mitres of corners.

http://www.cosmicvariance.com - try changing the window's
horizontal width and watch what happens to the background
picture in the title frame.

http://www.netflix.com - errors with some segments of
div borders popping over into the middle of the section.

This happens with both Iceweasel 3.0.3 and Epiphany 2.22.3
in unstable.

 Your patch doesn't follow the coding style (I guess you did it to
 avoid a bigger diff) and would be nice if you could fix it.

my fault. Except by a newline before the new comments your patch looks
right.

Sorry.

Thanks for the review.  I've attached an updated patch, also against

Hi,

I can confirm that flashplugin-nonfree fails during the configuration
phase due to missing libcurl.so.3:

*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR: libcurl.so.3: cannot open shared

nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for

As Cade pointed out, it seems that some libraries FP10 depends on

Bug#501860: mt-daapd: does not stream m4a (aac) files

2008-10-10 Thread Rogério Brito
Package: mt-daapd
Severity: normal

Hi, Julien.

I just installed the package mt-daapd on the powerpc NAS that I
mentioned to you in a private e-mail and everything is fine with MP3
files (I have not tested with FLAC files yet). [*]

Unfortunately, it seems that it is not streaming m4a files. With both
Amarok and Rhythmbox, it starts like it will start playing the song,
showing the metadata, but both players just sit there, stuck at 0:0
seconds (no matter if I am using the clients on Ubuntu or Debian).

I will try to see if it happens with iTunes on a Mac that I have and I
will report back what I see.

Have you seen this happen? Do you need further information?



Regards, Rogério Brito.

[*] Actually, with some VBR MP3 files, the song duration is enormously
wrong. I have one 20min song (Symphony X's The Divine Wings of
Tragedy) that shows as 3min only.

Bug#501863: Documentation for the proposed passwd/allow-password-empty preseed entry

Bug #501849 requests the inclusion of a new preseed value

Bug#417850: ok, more info.

2008-10-10 Thread Daniel Nicoletti
I'm the one who first repported it (not at 4linux.. anymore),
it has been almost one year and the new debian
lenny is almost out.

Ok i had some issues with amsn and alsa, and even
purging didn't fixed the issue, so i decided to test
a cdimage of lenny (6 oct) and i just found out
the the bug on etch remains on lenny!

But now i've made some tests and i still don't know the 
true answer but i've made some tests.

The facts.
- INSTALLING a etch or lenny both lastest happens to have
keys like c lowercased EVEN with caps lock on.(brazilian abnt2)
- RECONFIGURING console data-package FIX this if you choose latin1
  that i'm not pretty sure is the same thing.

So i bet the problem is caused by the installer, and 
this is why none of you could reproduce the bug, cause
it just don't appear if you have reconfigured the package.

I did several tests now and look at the results:

LOOK:
md5sum /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz 
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/br-abnt2.kmap.gz/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/br-latin1.kmap.gz
615fc1dc4a4ed4513f7e7bf56e7ba96e  /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz
cd114aab4d67a1b47c143cfb91aaa515  
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/br-abnt2.kmap.gz
ab05d249b81c28e040c18ff7315f1213  
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/br-latin1.kmap.gz

So if you look at those none of them match.
But it's really courious that if i do 
dpkg-reconfigure console-data

now (selecting br-latin1)
bdf9817dc33ed126adf62504e9679fc2  /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz

now (selecting br-abnt2)
ef0808e19b133fb1300801b08f8883d9  /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz

so none of them matched the first value but abnt2
even being a different layout still with this bug
i'm using amd64.

i can send these buggy files to the mailing list.
and i really hope we can ship lenny
without this IMPORTANT bug.

Cheers,
Daniel.

Bug#501864: underlining of shortcut letters should consider decenders

2008-10-10 Thread jidanni
Package: transmission-gtk
Version: 1.33-2

Please help me by reassigning this to the proper package.

$ transmission -p
Now type ALT v, which brings up the View menu.
Observe the words Sort by Age, note the underline under the g is
invisible, but indeed, ALT v g is indeed the keys for this item.

Therefore we see that the decender part of letters (the part that
extends beyond the baseline of most letters) obscures the underlines,
so the underlines should be placed even further under such letters.

Hmmm, of abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz this probably affects gjpqy.

2008-10-10 Thread Daniel Nicoletti
Hello again,

i just did that loadkeys test, and loadkeys br-abnt2 just
works, and as loadkeys just LOADS the keys the 
/etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz
remains the same.
So, my guess now might be that dpke-reconfigure console-data
is the one who is corrupting the file, cause i can't find in
any file of console-data package a file that matches ANY
of those md5sums...

Well i don't know what else can i add now... :)

hope this gets fixed soon :D

Bug#501849: Please permit installation with an empty user password

2008-10-10 Thread Frans Pop
 For most use cases, this is clearly entirely the correct behaviour.  In
 those rare cases where someone really, really, wants to have an empty
 password for an automatically created user, it would be nice if
 user-setup would allow this directly, rather than requiring workarounds
 such as reset with late_command.

Can you please provide some convincing use-cases for situations where 
someone really, really wants to have an empty password?

I'm not at all convinced we should add this. IMO this adds needless 
complexity and code paths that will seldom be used and probably never 
tested. It also makes it possible to create an inherently insecure 
system, something we've always tried to avoid. And finally the 
documentation of such extremely rarely used options can only confuse 
users.

I also don't see why it should be possible to do this for the normal user 
account, but not for the root user account.

A few comments on the patch itself:
 +# Allow preseeding whether to permit a blank password for created
 non-root user 
 +Template: passwd/allow-password-empty
 +Type: boolean
 +Default: false
 +Description: for internal use only

The description should be for internal use; can be preseeded (in line 
with other similar templates). The second line of the description should 
hold a short description of the template (which is now in the comment; 
the comment can then be dropped): Permit empty password for non-root 
account.
Also, the name of the template does not indicate in any way that it's 
restricted to the non-root account.

So to summarize: I don't yet see the necessity of adding this feature, 
especially as creating a passwordless account can trivially be be 
scripted during preseeding, it is insecure, and the implementation is 
inconsistent.

Bug#501860: mt-daapd: does not stream m4a (aac) files

2008-10-10 Thread Rogério Brito
Hi, Julien.

I just tested with a PowerPC Mac running iTunes 8 and the m4a files are
not played there either.

I guess that we could get a tcpdump of the communication to see what is
happening differently between m4a and mp3 files. :-(

Unfortunately, tomorrow I will be attending a conference on software
design methodologies and won't be able to test further.


Thanks, Rogério Brito.

Bug#501866: Missing dependancy - libpango1.0-common.prerm uses defoma-app in pkg defoma

2008-10-10 Thread Paul Higgins
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.

I had a backup of the /usr/share/perl/5.8.8 tree, which I reloaded to
aloow me to complete the upgrade.

Bug#501867: merge with grub-pc's grub-mkrescue

2008-10-10 Thread jidanni
Package: grub-rescue-pc
Version: 1.96+20080724-10
Severity: wishlist

Perhaps grub-rescue-pc should be merged with grub-pc, just enhancing
the documentation of the latter, as the functionality is duplicated:
$ grub-mkrescue /dev/stdout 2-|wc -c - grub-rescue-cdrom.iso
 870626 -
 870400 grub-rescue-cdrom.iso
1741026 total

Another option would be move the redundant part of the latter into the former.

Bug#501747: occurs only via ‘apt-cacher’, not otherwise

2008-10-10 Thread Ben Finney
reassign 501747 apt-cacher
retitle 501747 apt-cacher: clients take excessive time to download files
thanks

On 11-Oct-2008, Ben Finney wrote:
 The correct resolution is to fix the download of diffs that are taking 
 orders of magnitude longer than a manual download of the all-in-one

 cannot offer much more diagnostic help.

Further diagnosis shows that this is only a problem when fetching 
files via an ‘apt-cacher’ instance. It occurs for any requested files; 
‘Packages.gz’ or binary ‘….deb’ have both shown this behaviour.

When I reconfigure ‘/etc/apt/sources.list.d/’ to avoid the

Bug#501869: passwd(1) stops shadowing if /etc/passwd is edited manually

2008-10-10 Thread jidanni
Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.1.1-5
File: /usr/bin/passwd

Please document on the passwd(1) man page or better yet fix somehow:

If a line in /etc/passwd has been changed by hand and not with
passwd(1) or vipw(1), then from then on any users who change their
passwords using passwd(1) will cause their encrypted password to be
visible in /etc/passwd, until the day the administrator runs pwconv(8).

E.g.,
# ed /etc/passwd #e.g. forgot passwd, rescue from grub rw init=/bin/sh
/root/s/:x:/::/
w
q
# passwd #then after rebooting and logging in, set a passwd
# grep root /etc/passwd
root:$1$cBD...

P.S., also you might want to mention on the pwck(8) man page that it
doesn't check that shadow information might be sitting exposed in
/etc/passwd. Also warn to not run pwck on /etc/group.

Also you might want to add SEE ALSO pwck(8) to passwd(1) and
shadow(5).

Also add SEE ALSO gshadow(5) to shadow(5). In fact there are lots more
see also connections that should be made between the members of
$(dlocate -man passwd), e.g., pwck-grpck... Or perhaps give all on
each page...

Bug#501871: Missing dependancy - libwmf0.2-7.prerm uses defoma-app in pkg defoma

2008-10-10 Thread Paul Higgins
Package: libwmf0.2-7
Version: 0.2.8.4-6
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.

Box Backup does not seem to support the ext[234] filesystem's nodump flag,
which is used to designate files and directories that should not be backed up,
such as Web browser caches.

Bug#495311: /tmp as $HOME ?

2008-10-10 Thread Theppitak Karoonboonyanan
Is it right to touch any user's $HOME on installation, albeit root?
How about using some temp dir as $HOME and clear it afterward?

For example,

TMPDIR=`mktemp -d`
HOME=$TMPDIR ./run-mozilla.sh run-mozilla.sh ./xpcshell -e  || ...
rm -rf $TMPDIR

Proposed patch against xulrunner1.9.postinst is attached. With this,
no .mozilla/ is left after postinst.

But it doesn't handle existing .mozilla/ with wrong permission yet,
though.

 I don’t think it is disruptive, as long as the dialog gets the focus. 

That's how tastes differ. For me, it's like a popup in a web page (even
worse -- I'm typing at a text console).

 Feel free to open a bug report upstream if you are willing to nitpick on
 that preference.
 
  Alternatively, provide a way of de-installing the package without
  de-installing half of Gnome.
 
 You can disable the SSH agent functionality by setting
 the /apps/gnome-keyring/daemon-components/ssh GConf key to false.

That fixes it for me -- at least partially. Will the classical
ssh-agent take over this job then?

Thanks

Bug#501855: upgrade-reports: initscripts Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop

 Package: upgrade-reports
 Severity: normal

I'm afraid the severity might have to be bumped to grave if other
people see this problem as well.

 I'm trying to upgrade a fresh Etch install to Lenny. I've hit a speedbump, it 
 seems, see below.
 How should I (or a normal user) solve this?

 Olaf

 # aptitude full-upgrade
[snip]
 E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential 
 package initscripts due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often bad, 
 but if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak option.
 E: Internal Error, Could not early remove initscripts

Can you please try aptitude -s install initscripts?  That might give
an idea which package is causing the dependency loop.

Sven

Bug#501849: Please permit installation with an empty user password

2008-10-10 Thread Emmet Hikory
Frans Pop wrote:
 For most use cases, this is clearly entirely the correct behaviour.  In
 those rare cases where someone really, really, wants to have an empty
 password for an automatically created user, it would be nice if
 user-setup would allow this directly, rather than requiring workarounds
 such as reset with late_command.
 
 Can you please provide some convincing use-cases for situations where 
 someone really, really wants to have an empty password?

I really, really wanted to do it to ease working with tools that
request graphical sudo authentication for devices that didn't have
keyboards.  Yes, this is pointlessly insecure, and yes, there are input
tools that can be used in some cases, but these tend to be fairly
cumbersome.

...
 I also don't see why it should be possible to do this for the normal user 
 account, but not for the root user account.

That's a fair complaint.  I felt that having it only apply for the
normal user was a loose wave towards security, but on reflection have to
agree it's pointless.

 A few comments on the patch itself:
 The description should be for internal use; can be preseeded (in line 
 with other similar templates). The second line of the description should 
 hold a short description of the template (which is now in the comment; 
 the comment can then be dropped): Permit empty password for non-root 
 account.

Unless I misunderstand the purpose of the other internal use
templates in user-setup (which is quite possible), I suspect these
issues also need to be addressed for several existing templates.  My
apologies for this error.

 Also, the name of the template does not indicate in any way that it's 
 restricted to the non-root account.

And as you pointed out above, there's no good reason that if
implemented it shouldn't apply to both.  The presented patch is incomplete.

 So to summarize: I don't yet see the necessity of adding this feature, 
 especially as creating a passwordless account can trivially be be 
 scripted during preseeding, it is insecure, and the implementation is 
 inconsistent.

Fair enough.  While it makes it easier for me to do what I'm doing,
the fact that it's a rare use case, insecure-by-default, and not too
hard to script is sufficient for me to withdraw the request in the face
of any opposition, rather than fix the patch more generally.  If someone
else has a strong enough feeling that it should be present, I'm  more
than willing to update the patch to meet the guidelines above.
