 for etch. You may want to push it back to testing.

Both unblocked.

kdebluetooth upload

2007-03-26 Thread Michael Meskes
Just fyi

I just did a kdebluetooth upload to sid that only fixes an incorrect
configuration item. Instead of /etc/init.d/bluetooth it still referenced
/etc/init.d/bluez-utils which does not exist on our systems. I'm not
sure if this should be pressed into etch given thet short amount of time
we have. On the other hand it fixes a bug and cannot create a problem
IMO. It's up to you.

please allow roundup-1.2.1-9 in

2007-03-26 Thread Toni Mueller

Hello,

I have updated packages for roundup, most notably 1.2.1-9, which fixes
a grave bug that rendered the predecessor uninstallable. The fix was
successfully tested by a user prior to my updating the package. On the
whole, the 1.2.1-9 package (and the 1.3.3-2 package) are the best
versions of the package so far in existence.

Please allow roundup-1.2.1-9 (or 1.3.3-2 if you feel brave) into Etch.

Thank you!


Best,
--Toni++

  Not sure if aptitude from etch would have done better here. I went with
  apt-get for the critical part.

 I don't suppose you have a /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates from before the
 upgrade?  I don't really expect a particular aptitude upgrade failure to be
 reproducible using just a package list.

Julien mentioned that there might be a backup. I check that later

  - postgres-client upgrade confused apt/dpkg completely. Installation

 Ok, so what is /var/lib/postgres/dumpall/7.4 on your system, and do you
 know how it got that way?  It is a directory on my systems, which is what
 it's supposed to be.

/var/lib/postgres was a file. I still have a copy of it. Can send it later.

  Preparing to replace powernowd 0.90-3

  Stopping powernowd: powernowd.
  install: `/var/lib/postgres/dumpall/7.4': Not a directory
 
  Why is powernowd worried about postgres/dumpall/7.4 ???

 That would be a dpkg bug.  I've seen this once before, in a certain corner
 cases dpkg fails to clean up the maintainer scripts from the previous
 package it was working with when that other package failed, and it ends up
 invoking the broken script by mistake. :/

 I don't know if this has been filed as a bug against dpkg.

I will check and open one, if I don't find one. Unfortunately I cannot repro 
it any more.

   Hmm. The package shipped with a symbolic
  link /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/source
   However, I can not read the target: No such file or directory
   Therefore, I am deleting /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/source
 
  Running depmod.
  Finding valid ramdisk creators.
  Using mkinitrd.yaird to build the ramdisk.
  yaird error: command not found: /usr/bin/ldd (fatal)

  Failed to create initrd image.
  dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 (--configure):

 Um... /usr/bin/ldd is part of the 'Essential' package set (provided by
 libc6).  What the heck happened here?!

  Certainly there is an /usr/bin/ldd
  silverboxy:/etc/cups# ls -l /usr/bin/ldd
  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5972 Feb 21 16:13 /usr/bin/ldd
  silverboxy:/etc/cups#

 But presumably you're checking this now, after the fact, so that's not much
 of an indicator of what was wrong at the time this error happened, I'm
 afraid.

I checked that right after the fail. see the typescript log.

  - apt-proxy gets removed during aptitude upgrade. When apt-proxy is
 used for the upgrade, the upgrade is broken. So no upgrades with
 apt-proxy on localhost are possible with that method.

 Heh...

 Well, thanks for the report.  I'm afraid I don't know that we're going to
 do much with it for etch though, your chosen upgrade path doesn't really
 give us much feedback on the method we're currently recommending because
 it's not clear that your aptitude attempt was consistent with the first
 steps on http://wiki.debian.org/Sarge2EtchUpgradeBlackboard.

I was not aware of the wiki page. I think it should be formally announced that 
other developers/users are testing it at well. 

I wanted to test the proposed upgrade path, which I found on the mailing list. 
On the other hand, I wanted to have the system upgraded, and after aptitude 
dist-upgrade not working at all, in fact I was of that upgrade path early.

Nevertheless, I think the postgres issue would have shown up as well. Not sure 
about ldd...

Thanks,
Rainer

At least with the dpkg-query -W step close to the end of the page, I have

Otherwise at first and second glance the instructions look fine. I will

The risk of downgrading libsasl2 to optional is that it may end up

I agree that it's a little bit late for this, but we could downgrade

Regarding the section, moving to oldlibs should not break anything.

release notes and alsaconf

2007-03-26 Thread Rainer Dorsch
Hello,

my upgrade from sarge to etch broke my sound configuration. Fortunately, I was 
not the only one with that problem and I googled a solution 
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/09/msg00949.html). Is it worth that 
it goes into 

5.1 Potential problems

of the release notes?

Something along the lines:


5.1.5 Sound stops working

In rare cases the sound stops working after the upgrade. In this case go 
through the alsa checklist

1) run alsaconf as root user 
2) add your user to the 'audio' group 
3) use alsamixer and make sure levels are up and it is unmuted 
4) arts or esound stopped? 
5) OSS modules unloaded?  
6) speakers on? 
7) does `cat /dev/urandom  /dev/dsp` work for root?


For me alsoconf solved the problem as well.

Thanks,
Rainer

 Could we please consider the section at least?

Right, I have no objection to changing the section.  I'm not convinced that
dropping the package to standard priority is a good idea yet, I'll let
others from the release team comment.

 It's not as if we didn't have any testers installing new Debian
 systems everyday using the daily generated images.

It's amazing how long a critical bug can go undetected when you're relying
on others to test for it. ;)

More concretely, this package has a substantial diff, a build is missing on

 I just did a kdebluetooth upload to sid that only fixes an incorrect
 configuration item. Instead of /etc/init.d/bluetooth it still referenced
 /etc/init.d/bluez-utils which does not exist on our systems. I'm not
 sure if this should be pressed into etch given thet short amount of time
 we have. On the other hand it fixes a bug and cannot create a problem
 IMO. It's up to you.

please unblock python-urwid 0.9.7.2

2007-03-26 Thread Ian Ward

Hello,

I am the upstream author of python-urwid, and I released version 0.9.7.2
to fix a UTF-8 input handling bug that will crash applications using Urwid.

Urwid 0.9.7.2 was released 2007-01-03 and has had no problems reported
against it.  This version has been uploaded into experimental, kindly
let me know if I may ask to have this package re-uploaded to
unstable/testing.

Regards,
Ian Ward

 I decided to disable the charset patch introduced in -22 again, because

 Please unblock slrn 0.9.8.1pl1-28 which has this patch disabled.

Your upload seems to disable three different patches, not just one; why was
it not sufficient to disable the last, fallback_charset patch, given that
it was stated in the bug report that the crash only happens when
fallback_charset is set?

Ok, thanks.  FWIW, aptitude 0.4.4-4 is now in testing.

   Okay, would a t-p-u upload of the current 2.2.1 package with the

should be a sparc build, I don't know where it's stuck, but it should
not be a problem.

   Carlos, if Steve and/or Luk agree, would you like to do such an

Yeah, that should be ok, but getting t-p-u/non-free builds poses an

 Right, agreed.

I've added the remote serial console recommendation, and removed the remark
that reboot is seldom needed from the Release Notes (as this is not the
case for etch). Should be visible soon at
