Bug#496640: anon-proxy: fails to install if /etc/environment is empty
Package: anon-proxy Version: 00.05.38+20080710-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 6.1. If /etc/environment is empty, installation or removing/purging of anon-proxy fail. The reason is the grep call in line 50 of anon-proxy.postinst fails, if /etc/environment is empty. The same applies to line 29 of anon-proxy.prerm As a result aptitude won't install/remove/upgrade any other package, making the system unusable/breaking security updates, etc. Workaround: create/remove/edit /etc/environment to be either a file with at least a 'space' in it or to be removed.

The only problem is that I am quite happy at the moment with my *stable* system(s) and updating would require to also update libc6, essentially moving too much of the system to testing/unstable.

Bug#425968: tellico: wrong translation to German
Package: tellico
Version: 1.2.5-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
The German translation is errenous.
'Editor' is translated as 'Verfasser', but 'Verfasser' means author. Correct
translation would be 'Herausgeber'.
'Publisher' is translated as 'Herausgeber', but 'Herausgeber' means editor.
Correct translation would be 'Verlag'.
'Organization' is translated as 'Unternehmen', but might be better translated
simply as 'Organisation'.
The resulting data base is unusable by external tools like Latex, hence 'causes
non-serious data loss'.
I include a bibtex export for a 'book', where I used Tellico's description as
content for the various fields.

Bug#419929: qemu: data loss: Virtual FAT disk images and windows 98
Package: qemu Version: 0.8.2-4 Severity: critical Justification: causes serious data loss I use qemu win98bug.img -hdb fat:rw:test I know from /usr/share/doc/qemu/qemu-doc.html that I shouldn't use non-ASCII filenames, etc. Apparently data loss occurs, if the *contents* of the file contain some non-ASCII characters. 1. Ordinary txt file - In windows, I create a txt file and edit it with notepad. - If the text of that file just contains ASCII characters everything is fine. - If I add one German umlaut A, everything is fine, I can change and save the text. On reboot of the guest all changes will be lost! 2. Office document - In openoffice.org on the host's etch, I create a document with one word test in it (only the 4 letters), save it as 'Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP' and copy it to the test-directory. - I open and close the file ok from within windows 98 / office 2000 (word) as long as I don't change anything. - I add *one* letter to the test text -- testa and save the document from M$ office on the guest and shutdown / reboot the guest - the file is corrupted: word will report Document name or path invalid (my translation from German). Openoffice will freeze on trying to open the document. This also happens to more complex documents. The same image file works fine with the same office document (and many others), if I don't use the above command line, but just use qemu win98bug.img and install samba 'properly' on the host. Since there is also #419515, this seems to be the *only* choice as far as data transfer between guest and host is possible. It was quite a learning experience to me to get it working, however, *Thanks for the good work* and for providing a means of not having to shutdown debian, just to be able to edit the odd word document that won't render properly in Openoffice.org! Johannes NB: the folder in quesiton is on a standard ext3 partition, if this is relevant.

Bug#340699: firestarter breaks nis
Subject: firestarter breaks nis Package: firestarter Version: 1.0.3-1.1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software Tags: patch *** Please type your report below this line *** Installation of firestarter breaks nis. We have as configuration a nis server on a private network. Firestarter is installed and options are set to allow all conections on that private network. The nis clients are set up with default debian configuration (+ lines are added manually to /etc/passwd etc. as described in the documentation to nis). nis doesn't work; ie. a running nis still works, but when the system is restarted nis breaks: student2:/etc# /etc/init.d/nis restart Starting NIS services: ypbind [binding to YP server .. backgrounded] nis doesn't work and displays: YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound Noone can any longer login into the system via nis. No information whatever is displayed in events or other in firestarter, that any connection was refused or else. Stopping the firewall, everything is working again: student2:~# /etc/init.d/firestarter stop Stopping the Firestarter firewall:done. student2:~# /etc/init.d/nis restart Starting NIS services: ypbind Unfortunately, it took me some months to locate this problem: whenever nis is started BEFORE firestarter it continues to work; the problem only occurs, when nis is started AFTER firestarter (eg. after the next reboot). Furthermore, no hints are found in firestarter's events list or in the log-files. I suspect that other services apart from nis might be affected as well. WORKAROUND: add the line domain name_of_nis-domain server 192.168.0.xxx to the configuration file /etc/yp.conf and nis is working as expected: student2:/etc# /etc/init.d/nis restart Starting NIS services: ypbind Please, keep improving that otherwise very useful and easy-to-set-up application!

Bug#325588: kile crashes with several tabs open
Hello, I tried the bug in sid (with kile version 1:1.8.1-3.1), and etch (with kile version 1:1.7.1-3). And I could not reproduce the bug with the steps described in the report. I even tried to change file encodings to generate errors (save a latin1 file in utf-8) but it worked misteriously well. As you say that you could reproduce it in different computers, could you please send a step by step explanation to trigger the bug? Hello, This bug was reproduced on several Debian *SARGE* installations. This are just 'standard' kde-workstations with almost no special configuration. It doesn't matter if the files are on local ext3-partitions or mounted via nfs. I believe, the problem occurs when several tabs are open and when typing occurs in the moment of autosave. Kile completely freezes and has to be killed. Unsaved data in tabs besides the current one is lost. Try to set the autosave interval to 1 minute, open files in several tabs and type like crazy. I'm not perfectly sure, if this is 100% related to kile or if things like fam play a role; therefore I include the output of 'ps aux' just after kile crashed. Kile doesn't respond to any input; the cursor flashes at the last position. Hope this is helpful. Thanks for offering that good software!

Bug#325588: kile crashes on auto-save, incurring data loss
Package: kile Version: 1:1.7.1-3 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss When two or more tabs in kile are opened and the autosave option is enabled (default configuration), kile crashes if - one is typing text at the moment of autosave - another tab (or several other tabs) exists that contains unsaved data. The data of the active tab is saved, changes of other tabs are lost. Kile doesn't react to any input and has to be killed (killall kile). workaround: deactivate the autosave option and save manually (or by frequently compiling your document). Since this behaviour can become quite annoying and since one is required to restart kile and reenter all text since last save/autosave it might be very desirable to get a fix via security updates.
