So we are really restricted to a fix set of packages at preconfiguration time ? Hmm, that's not nice. Can the configuration delayed by the package itself until after the PreDepends packages are installed ? Ciao Racke -- Think of it !

Why does apxs in sid link against libdb1 ?

In my company is another Debian developer who has (hopefully) sufficient knowledge about the packages and has access to the diffs/packaging files in our CVS and the build script, so it would be a good idea to join as backup maintainer.

Debugging help for dhelp needed
Hello, fellow Debian developers !
dhelp was recently orphaned. IMHO a online help is quite a good idea,
but the code hasn't touched quite a while.
I ported the source code from db1 to db2, which is definitely needed
to make it work for woody.
Unfortunately dhelp_parse -r get stucked in the second call
of db_write (db->put). I debugged it, but I have still no
clue why this happens.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated. I attached the source code
for dhelp_parse and the Makefile.
Bye
Racke

Yeah, but it is really a bug that should be filed. The daemon will be killed by SAK otherwise (look at #92277 for further enlightenment).

I have determined that this package embeds a vulnerable copy of the libtool source code. However, since this is a mass bug filing (due to so many packages embedding libtool), I have not had time to determine whether the vulnerable code is actually present in any of the binary packages. Please determine whether this is the case. If the package is not affected, please feel free to close the bug with a message containing the details of what you did to check. CVE-2009-3736[0]: | ltdl.c in libltdl in GNU Libtool 1.5.x, and 2.2.6 before 2.2.6b, | attempts to open a .la file in the current working directory, which | allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse file. Note that this problem also affects etch and lenny, so if your package is affected, please coordinate with the security team to release the DSA for the affected packages. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE id in your changelog entry. Is there a patch available for the vulnerability?
