BIND 8.1.x ?
any word on when/if we'll have a bind 8.1.x package? It's got some bugfixes and things over 4.9.x that make the upgrade well worthwhile...

Where is Apache 1.2's proxy module?
Hello, I've just upgraded to Apache 1.2 by installing libc6 from unstable and apache from project/experimental and so far it seems to run just fine. I saw someone write that they have the proxy module running under same setup (stable, libc6, apache 1.2) but I can't find it anywere. Could someone please point me to the right place?

Re: XTerm on XFree86 3.3-3 trouble

This is an old bug in the terminfo entry for xterm. It and related other bugs have been reported as bugs #2158, #2291, #3162, and #3973 in the Debian bug report archive (http://www.debian.org/Bugs/>). The current situation (xbase 3.3-3, ncurses-base 1.9.9e-1) is as follows: - in a "cat" in an xterm, F1 to F4 give ^[OP, ^[OQ, ^[OR, and ^[OS, respectively - "infocmp xterm" says, among other things: kf1=\E[11~, kf2=\E[12~, kf3=\E[13~, kf4=\E[14~ One of them is clearly wrong. But which one? A strange thing is that bug report #3162 (against xbase 3.1.2-9) reports the bug being the other way around -- infocmp xterm shows kf1=\EOP, but cat gives ^[[11~. It appears that there has been some circular fixing going on. So, Debian developers: Can we decide which one is "correct", xterm or the terminfo entry, and adjust the other accordingly? For Debian users, the easiest thing to do is wait for the bug to get fixed. :) As a sort of temporary workaround, you can try setting "TERM=vt220"; that should fix the function keys, but may cause other similar keyboard or display problems. -- -=- Rjs -=- [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Note, BTW (just realise this) that if lynx has non-POSIX stuff in it (forgetting to #include etc), you'll have to use minor ajustments (and those are unrelated to xforms not being libx6).

Basically, you need to wait for the libc6 versions of those packages and those development libraries. Packages linked with libc6 also need all their support libs linked with libc6, or strange things will happen. We (the developers) are working on getting libc6 versions of all the libraries put out as soon as possible, but that is why we have unstable.

What soundcard?
Any hot tips regarding what soundcard I ought to get for my Linux box? Preferably one which is well supported, won't bother my CPU all that much, and of course sounds good. I am currently considering the Ensoniq Soundscape Elite or the Soundscape VIVO 90. The 'supported' part isn't really all that important, as most cards seem to be supported by the commercial, but fairly inexpensive, OSS/Linux. Stig Are M.

This works for me in XEmacs 20. I get my mail home using
`fetchmail', which is configured with an "mua" line in its control

started. The "~/.gnus" file is right out of the Info manual, except

That does NOT necessarily mean that programs (including the linux kernel, libc, etc.) that use that 32-bits do so correctly. The biggest problems seem to me to be with the thousands of applications that use dates. Even if the kernel and libraries work properly, that doesn't mean a given program uses time properly. An easy example: struct tm from time.h has the "year" field defined as the number of years since 1900 and is Y2K compliant since for the year 2000 it contains decimal 100. There could be an application out there that currently works but will crash in 2000 because incorrect assumptions were made about the range of "year" and say an array index is computed incorrectly. Clearly, bad things can happen when a program corrupts its stack or otherwise accesses memory outside the bounds of the array. I've read that bad things will happen to Windows95 at the midnight rollover Dec 31, 1999 but only if it's running! Duh, bad things can always happen when Windows95 is running. But seriously, I guess if you stop the machine _before_ midnight and restart _after_ midnight then all's well. Who knows what lurking out there in *nix that will go whacko when the rollover occurs. With all the attention that this problem is getting in some circles, it would be a major coup if somehow Debian packages could individually and collectively be certified Y2K compliant and a Y2K compliant Debian release prepared. IMHO no other linux distribution, "commercial" or otherwise, has the level of control available with Debian.

Re: kernel compile using libc6

Is this correct? Well, it's correct in the sence that it is happens to be true for most of the Debian pre-compiled binaries of gcc. Basically, gcc-2.7.2.2 is by default setup to create libc6 binaries. But it's easy to change tehdefaults, and altgcc (Iguess that's a libc6 binary, but, I'm not sure), creates libc5 binaries. You do need to have a gcc that has the bugfix for libc6 (gcc-2.7.2.1 is too old for libc6). > Also does the kernel use libs or not use them or is it completely self > sufficient?

For the time being, I am planning to use the byte benchmark, and would appreciate any other suggested benchmarks.

That reminds me, while the nice GIMP people were trying to help me figure out why gimp was sigsegv'ing they suggested I run XFS, so I did -- but it core dumped all the time because it's config file contained font paths that did not exist.

I'd concur with disabling the XKBD extensions if you don't have a meta key other than Alt. An interesting side note though...

changing dpkg depends/tcl7.6-dev
There are many packages which depend on libc5-dev. In the hamm version libc5-dev was changed to libc5-altdev to work around conflicts w/ libc6... How can I change some of the packages (such as tcl7.6-dev) which depend on libc5-dev to libc5-dev | libc5-altdev? or are there tcl7.6-dev/tk4.2-dev packages for libc6-dev? -Paul -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

There seems to be a conflict between the .tkdesk files that are create
in your home directory between version 1.01 and 1.04.
So when you update tkdest to version 1.04 it complains about the "geom"
variable.
All I have done to fix this problem is rename my original .tkdesk to
something like Old.tkdesk and then run tkdesk (1.04) again and it works
fine, installing a newer .tkdesk directory in my home directory.
Then all you have to do is add any changes that you made to the files in
the origninal .tkdesk directory and you are back in buisness.
I do like the updated version of tkdesk, looks much sexyer. well the
app bar does anyway..

Quota problem with hamm

Re: libc5 and libc6
> "Paul" == Paul Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Paul> How can I install *BOTH* libc5 and libc6?? Can't we all just Paul> get along? -Paul As people have said, you can install them both--the packages named 'libc5' and 'libc6'. The complications are in the '-dev' packages and the compilation environment. libc5-dev and libc6-dev cannot coexist. The current gcc package conflicts with libc5-dev, so if you want to keep up with unstable, you'll have to install libc6-dev to compile any C programs. If you want to do that, *and* also be able to compile in a libc5 environment, there are a few packages meant to allow that by having an alternative gcc and C library on the system: libc5-altdev, altgcc, and libdl1-altdev (the only ones I've seen).

Removal of 'base' package
Hello All: I have noticed a lot of traffic recently on how the obsolete package 'base' can be removed. This is a detailed description of what I did. If there are any flaws in this let me know, otherwise, this could be used as a guide for those who want to remove the "offender". Cheers, Carlo *** *Carlo U. Segre * * Department of Biological, Chemical and Physical Sciences * *Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, IL 60616 * * Voice: (312) 567-3498 FAX: (312) 567-3494* *[EMAIL PROTECTED]* *** How to remove the obsolete 'base' package: The package has been rendered unneeded but not by another package replacing it, rather by the placing of most of its files in the base diskettes that the system is installed with from scratch. This is why no package goes to the trouble of removing the reference to base. I have gotten past this by removing the relevant files by hand. here is what I have done: 0. su to root or login as root 1. go to /var/lib/dpkg/info and check what files are present relating to 'base' by doing a 'ls base.*'. You should get the following 3 files: base.conffiles base.list base.postinst 2. look at the contents of 'base.list' which contains the files which belong to the base package. You should get: /. /usr /usr/doc /usr/doc/copyright /usr/doc/copyright/base /usr/doc/copyright/base/debian.README /usr/doc/copyright/GPL /usr/doc/copyright/LGPL /usr/doc/copyright/Artistic /usr/doc/base /usr/doc/base/README.DEBIAN /usr/doc/examples /usr/src /usr/bin /usr/dict /usr/games /usr/info /usr/lib /usr/lib/locale /usr/lib/locale/en_GB /usr/sbin /usr/local /usr/local/bin /usr/local/man /usr/man /usr/man/man8 /usr/man/man8/MAKEDEV.8 /etc /etc/skel /root /dev . and here are all of the /dev/* devices /sbin /var /var/tmp /var/spool /var/spool/mail /var/run /var/run/utmp /var/lock /var/log /var/backups /var/lib /var/lib/dpkg /var/local /var/local/usr /tmp /tmp/base.postinst /bin /proc /floppy /boot /lib /mnt /home /cdrom 3. Of these files, delete, by hand the following, which are not used by any other package. In fact, most have been replaced by other packages without deleting these old ones. All the others are clearly vital directories for the system. I have noted the replacements in the right hand column. DELETE REPLACEMENT /usr/doc/copyright/base /usr/doc/base-files /usr/doc/copyright/base/debian.README/usr/doc/base-files/copyright /usr/doc/copyright/GPL /usr/doc/copyright/GPL.gz /usr/doc/copyright/LGPL /usr/doc/copyright/LGPL.gz /usr/doc/copyright/Artistic /usr/doc/copyright/Artistic.gz /usr/doc/base/usr/doc/base-files /usr/doc/base/README.DEBIAN /usr/doc/base-files/copyright /usr/lib/locale /usr/share/locale /usr/lib/locale/en_GB/usr/share/locale/en_GB 4. Now remove the 3 files listed above: /var/lib/dpkg/info/base.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/base.conffiles /var/lib/dpkg/info/base.postinst 5. Finally, go to the /var/lib/dpkg directory and edit the 'status' file to remove the following entry: Package: base Essential: yes Status: ok installed Priority: required Section: base Maintainer: Bruce Perens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 1.1.0-14 Replaces: miscutils Conffiles: /dev/MAKEDEV 9c600060928b03633f9682d014956cce /etc/adjtime b7920456f21d52fd516f7ff390112d1d /etc/group a56a7999fa189038d9744cb2e48d72d8 /etc/host.conf a61b9f6548d337c1cc1e5a4de39f7b7f /etc/issue 3488b71d436c67a12d80d5dea77bb0f2 /etc/motd 03465202ebeafb7ea39663f4bf055309 /etc/passwd 785647694522546dba95365b191cee98 /root/.bash_profile f885bce730eac7717e6610468b52a500 /root/.bashrc 118f882acfaf472e6a352b1baaf5db87 Description: Debian Base System M

If you attach the output from the startx command, it could help in diagnosing the problem. One thing you could try is to check the XF86Config file you have in Redhat and see where it differs from your current one, this will tell you how to modify your current version to work with your system.
