Bug#900445: camlzip version 1.07 needed for zlib >= 1.2.9

2018-05-30 Thread Stephen McCamant
Package: libzip-ocaml Version: 1.06-2+b1 I'd like to request that the Debian package of camlzip (libzip-ocaml) be updated at least to the latest numbered release, version 1.07. The reason this is significant is that older versions of camlzip up through 1.06 will no longer work reliably with recent

Bug#632670: check_current_directory fails with symlinks

2011-07-26 Thread Stephen McCamant
The symlink problem bit me too. I would think it's actually a fairly common situation for /var/cache/approx to be a symlink, since it's easy to use much more space for .debs than any of the other contents for /var. (Especially if you save the old ones; my /var/cache/approx is currently 49GB, compar
