Debian Etch Upgrade Problems with Mail Check Applet and Evolution
Hello, I've recently upgraded from Sarge to Etch (the full monty, I'm now running a 2.6 kernel) and my mail check applet has gone away, and the evolution package is still marked conspicuously as a sarge package - ic evolution 2.0.4-2sarge1 The groupware suite When I tried to download the source for the mail notification applet from the GNOME site, I couldn't find the development packages to install to compile it. It's missing libgnomeui-2 - Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgnomeui-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libgnomeui-2.0' found Is this a known problem to someone? I've began to wonder if the package list I've downloaded is incomplete or munged, and if there is a safe way to tell the server to give me the whole package list again, instead of diff files. Anybody have any hints or diagnostic techniques I can try, or am I simply making bad assumptions, and Etch is as it's supposed to be (a Sarge version of evolution, no mail check applet, and the source on the GNOME web site is not compilable on a Debian Etch box)?

problems with mail-filtering/forwarding
Hello,
I don't seem to be able to get either filter or sortmail working
with postfix, if that could cause problems. But I think the problem
is in the permissions: both would deliver mail only to files, owned
by nobody:nogroup. Isn't this silly? filter won't even read the
configuration unless I put it into /tmp and doing chmod 1666 on it.
What should I do?
Thanks,
andrej

Problems with mail local to Debian machine
I have set up a "stable" machine that I plan on using for, among other things, and Amanda tapehost. Amanada mails you a report after every run. Problem is, I'm not getting that report. Further if I fire up elm and send mail to the amanda user, it just disapears! I suspect I have a problem with the llocal mail configuration.

Problems with Mail
I'm having some preplexing mail problems, and was wondering if someone could help me resolve the problem. I have 2 linux boxes networked together. My production box also has the connection to the internet. It is running all of my servers, and pulling mail down from my isp with fetchmail. I'm wanting to be able to d/l my mail from my production box to my development box, but am not able to get it to work. My first attempt was to use fetchmail. It seemed to pull the mail down, but it never showed up in my /var/spool/mail/ file. After examining the system, it appears that is is stuck in /var/spool/smail/incoming. Does anyone have any idea why smail is not delivering it? My temp solution is to use netscape mail program to d/l the mail to my development box. But I really don't want to be stuck with this as the solution. BTW, I really don't want to directly d/l the mail to my development box, since I can't reach it from outside my house (it's on a private network, using ipmasq to get out). Ideas? Thanks, Chris

But try kbdconfig (No manpage !), it proposes a de.map To make the programms use it, set your environment variable LANG to de_DE You will even get some error messages an man pages 'auf Deutsch' or just LC_CTYPES to de_DE , to keep english messages.

Problems with mail and news
Hello, o.k., I have to give up (sigh!) and ask some more experienced debianers. I changed my distribution from SuSE to Debian and there are some problems I can't cope with. When I try to run Knews or pine I get the messages "Incomplete mail domain" (pine) and "Couldn't determine domain name. POsting will not be possible." I cant't even manage to use the (normally) easy to install newsflash- program from Markus Dickebohm; it gives a "119: host is unreachable" (but a "telnet localhost 119" is possible). I think I have done something wrong during the configuration of inn and sendmail (in SuSE these things have been done in the background I think). On the other hand I can get news via popclient. Which packages do I have to install and which scripts do I have to configure to get everything right (assume that my linux-box is named "daddel", my static IP-Adress is 123.45.678.123 and is only used as a stand-alone machine with ppp-connection)? Another question is: Where can I change the character set from US-Ascii to iso-8859-1?
