I would have caught this, honest. :) 3.3.6-6pre7v1 is presently building on my UltraSPARC. Let's keep our fingers crossed. -- G.

Hi. I think the sed script should have "g": zgrep bubble xfree86-1_3.3.6-6pre7v1.diff.gz |grep sed + sed -e "s/bubble/$package/" -e "s/wibble/$xserver/" -e "s/wobble/$serverbin/" \ This should be changed into + sed -e "s/bubble/$package/g" -e "s/wibble/$xserver/g" -e "s/wobble/$serverbin/g" \ In <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, at "Mon, 29 May 2000 00:18:39 -0400", Branden Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > On Sun, May 28, 2000 at 07:08:25AM -0600, Anthony Fok wrote: > > I just installed 3.3.6-6pre7v1.

The first "bubble" is changed into "xserver-svga", but the second "bubble" is left, without being replaced. Regards. -- Taketoshi Sano: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

A tiny bug with xserver-*: /usr/doc/bubble?
Hello Branden, I just installed 3.3.6-6pre7v1. So far so good! :-) I was trying to look for the directory /usr/doc/xserver-svga, but it's not there, so I checked in /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-svga.postinst and noticed the following lines: if [ -d /usr/doc -a ! -e /usr/doc/xserver-svga -a -d /usr/share/doc/bubble ]; then ln -sf ../share/doc/xserver-svga /usr/doc/bubble fi Hmm... interesting. What is "bubble"? :-) The same lines are in xserver-s3.postinst, so I assume all the xserver-* packages (except xserver-common) have this tiny "bubble" bug.
