Can you run this through ksymoops or else send me a copy of your System.map?

CD images appearing (except sparc :-[ )

[Philip Hands]

The i386 images are now available from cdimage.debian.org.

The alpha and m68k ones should build in the next hour (but if they
fail I won't be able to do much about it for about 20 hours).  They
should probably not be considered ``official'' until signed MD5SUMS
appear, which should be some time tomorrow.

=-=-==-=-=

  The sparc ones cannot be built at present because lprng depends upon
  a version of libncurses4 (>= 4.2-3.1) that only exists in potato.

  This is pretty poor IMO.  How difficult is it to check that a
  package's dependencies are satisfied before moving it from
  proposed-updates to stable?  It's not as though it's not happened
  before.

  Is there any likelihood of this being sorted out this time (unlike
  the 2.1_r2 --> 2.1_r3 version of this cockup which was never
  resolved AFAIK)?

  If this is fixed by someone, be sure to mail me direct so that I can
  actually build the CDs.  I will not be checking to see if it's been
  fixed, so if you don't tell me, they won't get built.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

For those of you interested in building your own CDs, I'd like to
point out that for some reason slink_cd was not putting vflib2 on the
first CD.  I'm not sure why this is, but I worked round it by adding
vflib2 to the ``useful'' file.

Cheers, Phil.
P.S. please only follow up to one list.
BTW I don't read debian-sparc, so Cc: me if that's the list you follow
up to, and you think I'll be interested.

Re: missing keys in X11

[Volker Gülke]

Hi Christian,
I found the file you are describing and also I found the commandline option
-xkbmap in the Xserver manual page.

Than I tried to place the option -xkbmap type5_de_nodeadkeys behind the line:
/usr/bin/X11Xsun -xkbmap type5_de_nodeadkeys  inside the /etc/X11/Xserver file

and behind the manual startx command:
startx -xkbmap type5_de_nodeadkeys

but both versions won't work. I think I'm looking at the wrong places for
the option parameter. Also in Xsun is no -xkbmap option described. Could
you please tell me where I could enter this parameter?

Thanks,
Volker
