man-db mentions a number of bad Symlinks
Hello all. This is my third week to debian and 6th month to Linux, but I'm having a little problem. When I run man some file I periodically see warnings smiliar to these. man: can't open /usr/man/man8/upgrade-windowmaker-defaults.8: No such file or di rectory man: warning: /usr/man/man8/upgrade-windowmaker-defaults.8.gz: bad symlink or ROFF `.so' request About 50 or so of these warnings flash by each with a different symlink. I know what you're going to say. The file (above) upgrade-windowmaker-defaults.8.gz is obviously a dangling symlink and should be removed. I did this just a fw days ago. In fact I removed every bad symlink in each man directory, yet now they are back. It is as if man-db is doing this to me. can anyone explain what exactly man-db does. Obviously it compacts my man files. DOes it keep the originals anywhere? Anyone else have this problem?
Fw: irc.openprojects.net
ps and top are in procps, and xmkmf is in xlib6g-dev. You can find this out quicker by going to #debian on irc.openprojects.net and typing !find ps !find xmkmf, etc. i tried this but irc.openprojects.net did not seem to respond. The website at http://irc.openprojects.net has an image of two people and the title Service discontinued. Does anyone know of any other service that has this cool file to package lookup capability? -matt

I miss the debian bird image. -matt On Mon, Jul 26, 1999 at 02:58:44PM +0200, andreas pålsson wrote: Khalid EZZARAOUI wrote: I'm with you also.

Ellingboe don't you never see a Genius going out from it's lantern ? like Aladin's story It's a nice idea, but it's too hard to get a grip on when only the swirl is visible. I am sure that people who who never seen the logo before will at some point ask what it supposed to look like. I've seen the swirl and the bottle together and my first reaction was a bottle with smoke or a bottle with something hot in it.. On the other hand maybe it's just me who is less intelligent than the rest of the world and doesn't get it :) I'm not complaining on the author or his artwork, in a artistic level I'm sure it's a fine piece of art. But for the normal guy/girl it's too hard to relate to something than a bottle with a puff of smoke. Just my opinion. ./Andreas -- -- -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/nu ll
The Hat: was Re: new logo on debian.org
I'm not sure it's really necessary, though. If there's any meaning behind that hat, I don't know what it is. -Michael The 'Hat' is a clever marketing icon. The Debian Swirl is a little too abstract. I theorize that it will be changed relative soon (1 year or less). What was wrong with the clever looking bird, prior to the swirl? -matt
