Package: telnetd-ssl
Version: 0.17.24+0.1-10
Severity: normal
When purging a bunch of packages, I somehow end up with /etc/ssl/certs
not existing when telnetd-ssl's postrm script starts. Thus cd
/etc/ssl/certs fails; thus the script fails; thus apt complains.

Package: evince
Severity: wishlist
It is typical for documentation provided by Debian in /usr/share/doc
to be compressed with gzip (unless it is very small), including PDF
documentation. This means that one cannot view Debian documentation
directly in Evince -- one first has to uncompress the

I had been providing ldap connction settings solely by
debconf-set-selections; suddenly new systems were trying to connect to
127.0.0.1 instead of the real server.

Package: chicken-bin
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source
When libffi4-dev is installed, chicken fails to build from source.
AFAICT ./configure make works just fine with libffi4-dev installed,
so presumably the problem is in debian/rules somewhere. Until

Severity: normal
I run a Debian/Etch chroot environment within Ubuntu/Dapper and CentOS4
