Devices not being built

[mikejs]

Hi

I've built a FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE #5 kernel.  I have a linksys WMP 11 wireless
card. 
I've configured and built the kernel with the followings devices
device  wlan# 802.11 support
device  an  # Aironet 4500/4800 802.11 wireless NICs.
device  awi # BayStack 660 and others
device  wi  # WaveLAN/Intersil/Symbol 802.11 wireless NICs.

The problem is that no devices are being built in /dev for the above.  What am I
doing wrong?

Thanks

Mike

autoconf is a program that helps build other programs.  You can almost
definately remove _all_ version using pkg_delete.  If you go to install
another port that requires autoconf, it will just install it as a
dependency.

Here you may actually need all three versions.  Notice that it's 1.3, 1.4,
and 1.5 that are installed.  Each of these is going to have a slightly
different featureset, and (in my experience) different versions of libtool
are not compatable.

If you try pkg_delete on each of these, you will get an error stating which
package requires it.  This will give you an idea of what you need to do to
get rid of older versions (probably upgrade the software requiring it).

multiple versions of ports installed

[Rowdy]

Greetings,
I have multiple versions of a couple of ports installed under FreeBSD 
5.1-RELEASE, and I'm not sure why, nor whether I can remove any of the 
older versions.

sharwyn:~ # portversion -v | grep "?"
autoconf-2.57_1 ?  error - origin not found
libtool-1.4.3_3 ?  error - origin not found
These came to light after a recent pkgdb -F.
sharwyn:~ # pkg_info | grep autoconf
autoconf-2.13.000227_5 Automatically configure source code on many Un*x 
platforms
autoconf-2.53_1 Automatically configure source code on many Un*x 
platforms
autoconf-2.57_1 Automatically configure source code on many Un*x 
platforms
autoconf-2.59_1 Automatically configure source code on many Un*x 
platforms

sharwyn:~ # pkg_info | grep libtool
libtool-1.3.5_2 Generic shared library support script (version 1.3)
libtool-1.4.3_3 Generic shared library support script (version 1.4)
libtool-1.5.6_1 Generic shared library support script (version 1.5)
These would have been installed automatically as part of other post 
installs or upgrades.

Are multiple versions of these needed?
Can the older versions (or at least the "origin not found" versions) be 
safely deleted?

Thanx
Dave

This looks like a release-supfile (to update your /usr/src tree), and not a
ports-supfile.  Here are some basic instructions that I'd give out to get
cvsup working nicely:

Have a look at http://www.bugman.cx/cvsup/.  Copy the three files I have
there into your /etc directory and vim them all to taste.  Make sure you
modify them all!!  You will want to change the cvsup host to something local
to you, and you will probably want to remove WITHOUT_X11 and other
make.conf tags like that, and don't forget to change the release tag in
release-supfile.

It's pretty straight forward.

Now that you have these files, go into /usr/src or /usr/ports and type
'make update'.  By keeping these default options in /etc/make.conf,
whenever you run make, they are passed as default options.

It's easy to keep your ports/src trees up to date this way.

The tag for ports-all is okay, BUT you're overwriting the tag
of src-all to . (CURRENT). You're effectively asking for the
5.2-CURRENT (HEAD) sources.

Thus:

*default tag=RELENG_4_10
src-all
ports-all tag=.

would be better.

Why don't you install it from the FreeBSD ports instead?

cd /usr/ports/net/skype
make
make install

Anybody know how to run Skype for Linux on FreeBSD

[Hasse]

Hi everybody.
Anybody know how to run Skype for Linux ?
On my desktop, I'm running 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 and I'm trying to get Skype for 
Linux to run.
Description of the program : http://www.skype.com/
Download Linux version : http://www.skype.com/download_linux.html

I have Linux bin installed, but don't know how run any lin-apps. :-)

What I've done this far, is to untar the skype_ver-0_90_0_6.tar.bz2 
in /usr/local/etc, for the simplicity, renamed it to skype and tried to run 
it with the following command : sh / usr/local/etc/skype/skype and it gives 
me the following message :
/usr/local/etc/skype/skype: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

When I try just  / usr/local/etc/skype/skype  I get :
/usr/local/etc/skype/skype: error while loading shared libraries: 
libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Then I try : locate libqt-mt.so.3 , and I get :
/usr/X11R6/lib/libqt-mt.so.3
/usr/X11R6/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3
/usr/X11R6/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.2
/usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/libqt-mt.so.3.3.1

And I'm trying all this logged in as root.

I know this is a long and stupid post, but

Re: FreeBSD and DVI LCD monitors

[Lucas Holt]

Did the monitor come with a manual?  Does it have the specifications of 
the required resolution/refresh rate?

If it works in X11 on slackware then it must be an X11 config issue.  
Can you look at the X11 config in slackware to see what it is?

If you can't get the info from a manual or the vendors website, try 
contacting the vendor that sold it to you.  I know best buy carries 
that brand.

I have been trying for several days to get XFree86 going with my LCD
monitor, but to no luck.
Hardware:
GeForce FX 5200
BenQ FP991 19" LCD monitor with DVI-S and HD-15 connectors.
I shelled out a little extra for this monitor *specifically* for its
DVI port, but it just simply won't work with FreeBSD. Slackware Linux
10 runs fine on the monitor on the same computer using X.Org server.
 I read on google search results that DVI monitors need a Refresh rate
of 60Hz. At first I did not know which one were they talking about,
which happened to by Vertical Sync, so I set that to 60 and did a
startx, nothing.
Monitor displays a "no input signal" messages and the light blinks.
Then I installed nvidia drivers and tried, it got worse, I could not
get my console back, while the system had not crashed, the display
just would not come back, so I had to do a blind reboot.
I then read somewhere that with some monitors, there is a problem with
DDC, they lie about their digital sync rates suitable for display on
the DVI port and report the analog port settings instead. I found out
that I had to add:
Option   "NoDDC"   "1" (or "true")
to XFree86. I added the line, typed startx and was dissapointed yet
again. Same "no input signal" message on the monitor again.
I figured that if X.org server worked under Linux, then it should work
with FreeBSD without problems, but I can't even try that since X.org
port will refuse to install (already sent an e-mail in that regard to
this group).
Can anyone show me a way out of this mess? Should I try an ATi
graphics card? Is there some configuration blunder that I'm making?

OT:emacs/tramp ssh method problem

[Peter Risdon]

Not strictly FreeBSD, so apologies. But I'm stuck with this.
I use emacs with tramp/ssh to edit files on remote machines (local & 
remote both FreeBSD, 4.9, 4.10 and 5.2.1). In the middle of a session on 
one remote machine, a save operation threw up an odd question: which 
encoding method to use for the file. Then emacs hung.

Now I can't log into this particular remote machine at all using emacs. 
It starts authenticating, and loading remote shell stuff, gets to 
*tramp: Sending the Perl `mime-encode' implementations.*, and hangs there.

I can ssh into this machine from the command line without any 
difficulty. I can also use tramp/ssh to access files on other remote 
machines from emacs.

I did notice that small (85bytes) binary files called *-*, just a 
hyphen, had been created in the home directories of accounts to which I 
had tried to connect from emacs on this problematic machine. But I

Heh.  Interesting to see written by someone else what I usually find myself
repeating to users of Windows who ask "yeah, but what about the `One True
Worm'?"

What I find amusing to joke about is that "The Windows' crowds like using the
word `innovation' as a substitute for `many inexperienced repetitions of past
mistakes'.

The fact that they don't seem to have taken the "Worm of 1988" too seriously
and more than 10 years after the first version of Windows was out they STILL
have virus problems is IMHO very typical of their inability or reluctance to
take advantage of the existing pools of experience (well, not always too
reluctant and not always 100% unable, but most of the time).

Re: mod_mono

[Lucas Holt]

I filled a bug report on this issue with the 4.x series and the mono 
project several months ago.  Last I checked, the priority had been 
lowered and it wasn't resolved.  It has to do with implementation 
issues on freebsd with threading.

If the directory is /var/tmp/foo, what about making "foo" a symlink to 
"foo.0", then do something like:

  # mkdir foo.1
  # ln -fsn foo.1 foo
  # rm -rf foo.0

I'm reasonably sure that the second line is an atomic operation, although I 
don't have the time to verify it just now.  I'm sure someone will correct 
me if I'm wrong.  :)

Anyway, /var/tmp/foo would always exist and point to a valid destination.  
You'd have your "hot" directory while being able to move the old version 
out of the way for deletion at your leisure.

First, I've found a solution. The nsswitch.conf file is helpful

It actually sends more queries than just one. That's why it takes that
long.

I don't expect any traffic when using X-apps locally and while TCP is
switched off.

Typo.  That command should be:  find . -name "*.o" -size 0

Yes, although check for and remove 0-byte *.o files first (find . -name
-"*.o" size 0).  I have occasionally seen them after a crash.

Re: Installing Samba-3.0.0,1 on FreeBSD 5.2.1

[login]

Good afternoon,

Goal is to install samba-3.0.0,1 from /usr/ports/net/samba-devel
on a FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE system. Here is what I have done
this far:

# cd /usr/ports/net/samba-devel; make
# make install
===>  Installing for samba-3.0.0,1
===>  samba-3.0.0,1 conflicts with installed package(s): 
  samba-libsmbclient-3.0.0

  They install files into the same place.
  Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net/samba-devel.
#

I deinstalled  samba-libsmbclient-3.0.0 as below:

# cd /usr/ports/net/samba-libsmbclient; make deinstall
===>  Deinstalling for net/samba-libsmbclient
===>   Deinstalling samba-libsmbclient-3.0.0
pkg_delete: package 'samba-libsmbclient-3.0.0' is required by these other 
packages
and may not be deinstalled (but I'll delete it anyway):
kdebase-3.1.4
kdeaddons-3.1.4
kdeartwork-3.1.4_1
kdesdk-3.1.4
kdevelop-2.1.5
kde-3.1.4
# 

# cd /usr/ports/net/samba-devel; make install

Does this mean that by installing the samba-3.0.0,1 and deinstalling the 
samba-libsmbclient-3.0.0, I am breaking the above packages [kdebase-3.1.4, 
kdeaddons-3.1.4 etc..]? Should I take some other path to have samba-3.0.0,1 
without sacrificing samba-libsmbclient-3.0.0? 

Many thanks!

Traditionally, 2 1/2 X RAM size.  But everyone seems to have their
own prejudice on this.

It depends on the size and number of processes you will run
compared to the amount of RAM you have - paging goes to swap
space - as well as if you need to take a crash dump - crash
dumps need some more than RAM to do completely, etc.

Building 4.10 restore from source on 5.2.1?

[Paul Frommeyer]

Hi,

I've run afoul of PR 67723, which seems to also affect the
reading of legacy BSD dump files in addition to breaking the -c
switch. To get around this problem, and prevent my having to
change horses mid-stream and downrev my OS to 4.10, I thought I'd just compile
the 4.10 restore from source on my 5.2.1 system.

I removed the -DRRESTORE from CFLAGS in the makefile since I
don't need remote functionality, but now am
confronted with the following error. While eerily familiar from past
porting issues, I can't place the source of the problem macro. Note that
I am building in /usr/local/src/4.10/sbin to avoid risking pollution of the
5.2.1 source tree. I didn't spot any path problems with this, but I'm
suspicious since I've got what seems to be a missing include file problem.

Any and all pointers and suggestions appreciated. Arguably, this question
should have gone to -current, but since there is already a PR, I thought I'd
first try a list with more tolerance for shenanigans like my attempted
cross-build. :-) Of course if anyone knows of patches for the 5.2.1 restore,
well, sign me up!
Many TIAs,
Paul

P.S. If anyone thinks the binary of the 4.10 restore would work, I'd
be happy to give that a whirl

P.P.S. Also, if anyone on the dev team thinks it worthwhile, I'd be happy to
submit an update to 67723 with details on the additional errant behavior
I've run afoul of

vmware vs jails? (5.2.1)

[Hugo Silva]

Hi list,

I have been considering using vmware instead of bsd jails for a virtual
server provider. Jails are far too limited (1 ip only, quotas = per-jail
fs,etc). I have never tried vmware with freebsd as a guest os, so I don't
know if these limitations would apply..

What are your personal experiences ? Does vmware work flawlessly with
freebsd as a guest OS ? (host will be freebsd 5.2.1) Should I stick to
jails instead? Any suggestions welcome!

I think the canonical answer is to use find with the -delete option.  Like
this:

find /dir -delete

The longer answer is that the reason it fails is because the shell expands
the * into a list of all filenames before it actually runs rm.  This list
is too long for the command line, thus causing the error.  Knowing this,
any method of deleting the files that doesn't require the shell to expand
the list will work as well.  There are also tricks you can use to configure
the shell to use a longer command line, but I don't remember details.

Search the list archives.  I asked this same question a year or so back, and
the thread that resulted is very informative.

The find method is right for doing this now and then.
But if you are doing this frequently and there is a reasonable pattern
to the file names you are crating and then deleting, you might want to
create a special directory for them and then when it is time to delete
them, just do an  rm -rf on the directory - as in:
mkdir junkdir
  fill it up with those files and do whatever you need.
rm -rf junkdir
t might take some thought to categorize the files so the right ones
are stashed in the directory.

The NY City BSD Users Group (NYCBUG) is building a catalog of 
contributed dmesg output that may help you.  You can search the 
submitted dmesg's.  The search function is below the dmesg submission 
form at:

http://www.nycbug.org/dmesgd/

I encourage everyone to submit your dmesg output.  IP and MAC addresses 
are replaced with x's for security.

I hope this helps.

find /path/to/dir -exec rm -rvf {} \;

use /path/to/dir instead of cd /path/to/dir; find . ... because
it is very easy to forget the cd /path/to/dir step.  Doing
find . -exec rm -rvf {} \; in, for example, / is Not Recommended(tm)
Also, there is a space between the {} and the \;, don't skip it,
as cryptic error messages result.

man find for more info on what you can do with find.

You could always write a short script that reads and loops through the 
directory contents; and deletes one file (or a group of files) at a 
time.  It would take a little longer, but at least it would be 
automated.

Not exactly, but find(1) will do the job for you.  
Typically you would use it with xargs(1).

find /path-to-directory -type f -print | xargs rm

You may need to add some options to those commands depending on your
situation.  For example, if you have embedded whitespace characters in
the file names or if you don't want to descend into subdirectories.

[REPOST] Compatibility with certain VIA and Realtek NICs

I got a few responses regarding this post, but I'm really looking for
some positive, "yes, I'm using it" or "I tried and failed":

Having a little trouble ensuring hardware compatibility.

Some of the units we're considering have one of the following NIC chipsets:
VIA 6103
VIA 6303
VIA 6306
Realtek 8201

Looking through the hardware compatibility notes, as well as the man pages
for vr(4), ed(4), and rl(4) doesn't seem to confirm or deny whether any of
these units will work with FreeBSD (although it'd be a little overwhelming
to list every card that isn't supported in the docs ;)

Is there any way to work around this instead of having to select a small

It didn't seem logical to me. Anything after via, xmit, or recv should be
an interface name (or alias) as this is what ipfw expects to see. The
actual addressing should be located within the to/from portion of the
rule.
You can even go farther and count port usage as well. Say for instance,
you want to get an idea of how much http(s) traffic there is generated on
1.1.1.1 :
ipfw add 00100 count tcp from any to 1.1.1.1 80,443

Hello,
I'm trying to setup ipfw to count traffic to each ip on the server
(one
interface with multiple aliased ip's)
now it seems that the count rules are about the same for each ip
while
this isn't the truth..


 

Are these the exact rules, or does # ipfw show mix them up a bit?
For instance:
# ipfw add 1 count tcp from any to 1.1.1.1
*should* count all tcp traffic destined for 1.1.1.1, and likewise,
# ipfw add 11000 count tcp from 1.1.1.1 to any
*should* count all tcp traffic from the IP.
If ipfw show is conveluting the rules a bit, you might start by sending
in
a small sample of your ruleset.
Just a thought...

What is going wrong here ? how come ipfw counts the same traffic for

Also rule 22 from "any to any 80"  shows only a few hundred megs
traffic
while 95% of all the traffic on the server is http traffic from
website's so this should be atleast around the 5GB of traffic instead
of
a few hundred megs..
Any idea's ??

devfs(8) rules should be automatically applied to all devices as
they're created.  Setting up the rules at boot time should be exactly
what you need.  Is this not happening?

Nope, I was wrong...

# man ipfw [snipped]

 recv | xmit | via {ifX | if* | ipno | any}
 Matches packets received, transmitted or going through, respec-
 tively, the interface specified by exact name (ifX), by device
 name (if*), by IP address, or through some interface.

I just found the latter rules to be a little more clear and precise.
Perhaps someone else can shed light on the failure, but it's just nice to
know that you're up and achieving the results you desired ;)

Ok then I get it..
I thought ipfw was also able to have a ip address there instead of only

I don't mean to take away from this post in anyway because it was very
informative, however, I have found that preventing your own DNS server
from doing recursion and setting it up as forwarders only is in many cases
even a faster method of retrieving DNS entries.

I just find that allowing the ISP with the OC-3 circuits do all of the
recursion and just sending the final result back to me speed things up
just that much more.

Mind you on a home network, the requests are much fewer and far between,
but the forwarders clause can reduce load on the system and on the home
Internet connection, and put the load on the equipment and infrastructure
that were really designed to handle it. (Plus, you will also benefit from
their cache as well, greatly reducing the recursion that is required).

Just my $.02

Re: ipfw count rules to count traffic to virtual ip's

Are these the exact rules, or does # ipfw show mix them up a bit?

For instance:

# ipfw add 1 count tcp from any to 1.1.1.1

*should* count all tcp traffic destined for 1.1.1.1, and likewise,

# ipfw add 11000 count tcp from 1.1.1.1 to any

*should* count all tcp traffic from the IP.

If ipfw show is conveluting the rules a bit, you might start by sending in
a small sample of your ruleset.

Just a thought...

You sound as if you need to learn about the unix basics -- commands
like ls, cd, more, cp, mv etc.  There's a bit in the FreeBSD handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/basics.html

but you might find the "Introduction to Unix" course from Ohio State
to be more to your taste:

http://wks.uts.ohio-state.edu/unix_course/intro-1.html

Cheers,

Matthew

PS.  Why are you using such an old version of FreeBSD?  2.2.8 came out
in December 1998, and it's way out of any active support.  Unless you
have a specific need for 2.2.8 (eg. specific hardware support) I'd
strongly suggest updating to an up-to-date version -- 4.10 is probably
your best choice -- certainly if you're going to put that system on
the public internet.

It's a standard timeout.  The resolver isn't aware of the status of parts
of the network stack below it ... it just waits for 30 seconds for a reply
and then gives up if none comes.

This is because it's possible to have different NICs/modems/etc accessing
the network, so it would be difficult to teach the resolver when it waited
for the the timeout and when not to try.

The question I have is: Why are you doing "host somehost" when you're
obviously not connected to the network?  You're the human in this process,
don't give the computer things to do that it obviously can't accomplish
and then wonder about it.

Make sure that /etc/hosts has every possible name for your machine in it,
in addition to "localhost".  Any time I've seen one of those WMs get hung
up on DNS, it was becuase it was trying to verify its own host name.

Hi (something, cant read it)

You can enable that the drivers will be loaded in the kernel.
go to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf and edit the GENERIC kernel,
lookup the nic and unhash them, note that i thought that by default a
RTL 8139 gets detected.

In addittion you can try : kldload if_rl.ko
that should also load the realtek module and
kldload if_fxp.ko should load the intel driver

But could you give some more information next time?
Like which version, the output of dmesg etc.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I'm trying to setup ipfw to count traffic to each ip on the server (one
interface with multiple aliased ip's)
now it seems that the count rules are about the same for each ip while
this isn't the truth..
7 7715117 6712750640 count ip from any to any via fxp0
8 2953770  167284959 count ip from any to any in recv fxp0

As you can see the traffic for ip 1.1.1.1 and ip 2.2.2.2 are about the
same while ip 2.2.2.2 is actually doing nothing (all ports are blocked
cause its not active yet)
What is going wrong here ? how come ipfw counts the same traffic for
each ip..
Also rule 22 from "any to any 80"  shows only a few hundred megs traffic
while 95% of all the traffic on the server is http traffic from

PR? What is that...?

Are you suggesting that this is a bug in the kernel/driver rather than
unsupported hardware? Well, dmesg atleast identifies the correct
chipset/driver and it works. Bad, but it works. UDMA/33 isn't so nice and
if I start a high-load disk operation the system is likely to freeze
completely.

If this is a bug, to whom/where should I report it?

If you go back a bit further in time there was the Great Worm of 1988,
which targeted VAX and Sun3 systems running BSD code, and which
actually did bring down most of the Internet at the time.  That was the
incident that got people in the Unix community to start thinking seriously
about security.

As for actual viruses, they are very rare in the Unix world.  I have
heard of one or two proof-of-concept viruses created for Linux, but I
don't think any have ever been found in the wild.

Trojan horses of course exist (as they do on all systems), but in a
world where lots of people compile from source instead of downloading
binaries this kind of code is much harder to hide, and thus less
popular.


One advantage the Unix world enjoys, is that people are running so many
different versions of programs, and many different programs even, on
different kinds of hardware, that it becomes very difficult for any
kind of malware (which almost always contains some system-dependent
binary code) to affect more than a relatively small fraction of the
systems out there, which prevents the rapid infection and spreading
that Windows-based worms tend to have.

You could run a DHCP server on one of your FreeBSD boxes.  Install the
net/isc-dhcp3-server port -- it's fairly easy to set up for a small
home network, and you can back up the configuration and even the
database of DHCP leases should you have a sudden need to transfer the
service to a different machine.

   http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DHCP/index.html

If the machines you are providing DHCP service for are permanently
installed on your network, you might want to bump up the DHCP lease
times to several months.  Which is a fairly simple way of allowing
machines to keep the same address for a reasonable amount of time.

Alternatively you can hardwire the lease on a particular IP number to
MAC address -- in which case your DHCP server is really doing BOOTP,
but that's neither here nor there from the client's point of view.

The third option is to setup Dynamic DNS -- so that the clients can
attach their hostnames to the IP addresses your DHCP server gives
them.  This always seemed over-complicated to me, and gives too much
potential for hackery and other mischief.  Better to predefine the
names corresponding to the IP number, and force the client machine to
look up and use that.

I don't think so.  Lack of DNS performance is something that will
cause the most harm to your experience of using the net.  Running your
own DNS recursive server is the best way to get good DNS performance.  

For a home network, you can also run authoritive local domains from
the same server without to much trouble.  So long as your DNS server
is on your private network and not accessible externally this should
be OK.  For public use though, mixing up authoritative and recursive
DNS functions on the same server is bad juju, and should only be done
by grown-ups.

Yes -- that's simply DNS recursion.  You ask the DNS server on your
router "what is the IP number corresponding to www.freebsd.org": a
recursive server will track the answer down for you, by asking in turn
the root servers, the .org TLD servers and the freebsd.org servers on
your behalf.  Or it will tell you the cached answer it got from doing
all that a few minutes previously.  An authoritative server will just
answer "dunno", unless it happens to be one of the freebsd.org
servers.

You should still be able to use the usual DNS tools to query other
servers directly. eg:

% dig @ns0.freebsd.org. www.freebsd.org. IN A

If your router is filtering out DNS traffic other than through it's
own server, then you'll have to adjust it's programming.  It could
just be a matter of tweaking the packet filters for UDP traffic on
port 53.  If your router won't let you do that, get a better one.

Cheers,

Matthew

Ah, very informative.  Thanks.  I had missed this one :)

Thankfully, no :)

One of your perl scripts is crashing.

The only malware that ever achieved any sort of world prominence was
the Scalper worm, which exploited the "chunked transfer encoding"
vulnerability in versions of Apache earlier than 1.3.24 or 2.0.36 on
i386 FreeBSD:

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE+CAN-2002-0392

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/freebsd.scalper.worm.html

As I remember there were only a few hundred infections, and an Apache
patch was available within hours.  Hardly the sort of Internet
destroying scale we've become accustomed to with all those Windows
worms recently.

Cheers,

Matthew

Looks like you have mozilla-gtk2 installed, but this port was recently
removed.  www/mozex/Makefile.xpi does some slightly over-clever
gymnastics that detect this, which causes the breakage.

Note that you didn't quite follow these instructions.
