I've just run a test using my local mirror of sarge, but with makedev_2.1.3-77 and udev_0.054-3 substituted into the archive and can confirm that the problem is resolved by this combination Regards Jon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#309914: 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' become no-op on upgrade from Woody
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 Severity: serious Justification: Breaks functionality on upgrade Following upgrade from Woody, 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' silently becomes a no-op because no /var/lib/xfree86/XF86Config-4.md5sum file exists. This causes an unexpected regression in behaviour from Woody (which predates 4.2.1-11) which is only documented in XF86Config-4 as generated _after_ you fix that problem. I ran into this after my PS/2 mouse broke under GPM+X and I needed to reconfigure it. The issue is really that 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' does not tell you that it is not controlling XF86Config-4 and even worse refuses to create a new copy if you delete the file leaving the average user at a loss to fix their system. There are a slew of bugs arising from just this scenario in the BTS. The information is implicitly there in the NEWS.Debian.gz but probably needs to be documented clearly in the Release Notes. Note: the problem occurred on another machine so the info below is somewhat misleading. -- Package-specific info: Contents of /var/lib/xfree86/X.roster: xserver-xfree86 /etc/X11/X target unchanged from checksum in /var/lib/xfree86/X.md5sum.

Bug#314700: f2c: segfaults on i386 since last security update
Package: f2c Version: 20010821-3.2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable The latest version of f2c segfaults on i386 despite the analysis of #305971 that the woody code should not have this problem. I'm raising this as a separate bug so that it gets fixed as f2c in woody is now unusable - a serious regression for all who are using f2c on oldstable.

Hi Steve Steve Langesek wrote: >It's not clear to me from your message whether this bug affects only the >version in woody, or if it also affects the version in sarge. Could you >please clarify, so that we can tag this bug correctly? The version in Sarge does not seem to be affected - only Woody ie. 3.0r6 is affected. The confusion comes from the other bug about it segfaulting on m68k which was in testing at the time. Unfortunately this bug is affecting the compilation of a control system used by many radio telescopes around the world to perform coordinated observing - a technique known as Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and switching multiple machines owned by multiple observatories to sarge to fix it is a little bit beyond our capabilities right now !!

Bug#417565: ucbmpeg-play: Breaks x11-common upgrade for sarge->etch
Package: ucbmpeg-play Version: 2.3p-13.1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software Please downgrade severity if this is overstated - but it looks like there is some missing interdependancy to resolve this automatically: Attempts to upgrade from "sarge" to "etch" break if udbmpeg-play is installed fail at the point where x11-common tries to upgrade with a note about /usr/X11R6/bin not being empty. Intervening at this point by using 'dpkg -r ucbmpeg-play' then allows the upgrade complete and ucbmpeg-play happily reinstalls.

Hi Ben I assume you're aware of the RC bug #512839 introduced by your NMU (and in testing) xine-ui/0.99.5+cvs20070914-2.1 ? Looks like the fork()ing of xdg-screensaver needs a little more thought.
