[Bug 116785] linux-libc-dev update dependency problem
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager On 6.10 i386. linux-libc-dev is permanently being reported an available update from 2.6.17.1-11.37 to 2.6.20-15.27, although the system is using kernels no later than 2.6.17-11 (all kernels from standard update process - no 'extra' kernels installed by hand). It seems that the libc kernel header package is not checking the installed kernel versions. This may in part be related to bug #37937, in which the fact that the linux-libc-dev is treated as a separate package causes problems. The rejection of that bug seemed to miss the point, viz :- On mar, 2006-04-04 at 01:24 +, Matt Zimmerman wrote: > The headers are not installed by default; if you want them, install the > corresponding linux-headers- package for the linux- package you are > using, and it will track the same versions. > > ** Changed in: Ubuntu > Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected The headers are NOT tracking the versions of the kernel (if i'm reading Matt replies correctly). It makes no sense, and is a potential build issue, to update the headers regardless of the kernel version... also irritating that you cannot 'turn off' the update warning from the update-manager without uninstalling the package.. but this is linked with the dependency issue between the kernel and the header package which seems to have been ignored.

[Bug 1060907] Re: NetworkManager stores wifi passwords in plain text
I am also having issues with this. In my use case, with NetworkManager-1.0.9.6.4-3.fc17 (64-bit), I have a VPN connection for a non-root user which is set to NOT connect automatically and NOT allowed on a system basis. If I do not enter a passphrase I cannot save the VPN configuration. If I do add a passphrase it is stored under /etc/ with only root permissions rw permissions as 'protection'. As far as I remember,I was not offered the option to store to keyring when I set it up - nor would I want it to. There seems to be an implicit requirement in the design, or belief in the authors, that the password should be stored - I have no idea why this should be. There is further the belief that storing it as plain- text is as safe as it needs to be - perhaps if you're storing it in /etc or in the users keyring that's true, but there is life beyond them.. which is just as well given their limitations. It used to be possible to create configurations without passwords/passphrases, which lead to a prompt for credentials when making a connection using such a configuration - this seems eminently sensible, especially if the passphrase can be protected in memory or otherwise safe-guarded (as done elsewhere). That this ability it no longer there, it would seem to indicate that there was a conscious decision to remove it - if so, can I ask what the thinking was behind it ?... if not, why was it then removed ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1060907 Title: NetworkManager stores wifi passwords in plain text To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager/+bug/1060907/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

No it wasn't - and what this "missing" information may or may not be has not been explained (please don't say you couldn't try and reproduce without knowing whether later versions also, as that is not relevant in this case). However, seeing as this seemed to be a distribution specific bug for which the distribution is no longer actively supported - and does not seem to manifest in a similar form in later distributions - then i'm ok with it closing... just as long as the reason for closing is given correctly. Sorry about the tone - I honestly do very much appreciate all the work put in but as a software devvie myself, people trying to close bugs with completely bogus reasons really gets on my nerves.
