 thanks

 I get the same in an xterm. Not a gnome-terminal bug.

Yeah on the console too.  Is it a network-manager problem
maybe?  I use iwl3945 - it is definitely broken at Brendan's
Bakery on Mission in Santa Cruz - awesome sandwiches there.
Both the stock kernel and my own have that problem. But I
think it happened at home on the wire once.  MDNS problem?
iptables logs everything it blocks except windoze and it's
not logging anything blocked.  but i don't understand why
the browser works on the same names, does iceweasel keep a
dns cache?

at home if i use the stock debian kernel (2.6.26-17) there
is an arp loop on the wire interface asking who has 169.*
addrs.  i have been too lazy to figure out ip6tables so i
turned off ipv6 in my own kernel.

Where do I file bug reports about my brain?

precheck depends before package removal; notification period

[Mark Hedges]

Shouldn't there be a policy to check for packages that
depend on a package BEFORE its removal from the distribution,
and to notify maintainers ahead of time that their packages 
will break?  Such was the case with the disappearance of 
perlapi-5.6.1.

perlapi-5.6.1

[Mark Hedges]

I apologize for filing multiple bug reports about this
before seeking consensus on the list.

Is someone going to put perlapi-5.6.1 back into sarge?
Lots of packages indirectly depend on this and cannot
be installed now.  Should there be a dummy package
for compatibility with perl 5.8.0?

Thank you for investigating.

Bug#198479: general: perlapi-5.6.1 missing in sarge since perl 5.8.0 rollout

[Mark Hedges]

Package: general
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-06-28
Followup-For: Bug #198479

There needs to be a backwards-compatible perlapi-5.6.1 module
which apt-file and other depend on to install.  Since rolling
out perl 5.8.0, many packages that depend on perl 5.6.1 components
have broken or will not install.
