Package: hinfo Version: 1.02-2 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 3.3 In my opinion, hinfo is currently nowhere near being able to ship. It ships out of the box with a number of significant bugs that have been reported in some cases for over a year and a half, without any maintainer action. While none of these bugs in an of themselves is RC, the amount of user hacking required to make this package actually function as it is intended after installation to workaround the numerous bugs is not the kind of thing to be expected from a debian stable release.
While my statement that policy 3.3 has been violated is clearly contrived, as there is a maintainer listed in the control file, I suspect that he'll ignore this bug just like he's ignored all the other bugs, and that in itself will be the proof that policy 3.3 has in fact been violated. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-k7 Locale: LANG=en_CA, LC_CTYPE=en_CA (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages hinfo depends on: ii adduser 3.87 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.5.1 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.16.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libnet-dns-perl 0.57-1 Perform DNS queries from a Perl sc ii perl 5.8.8-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii ucf 2.0010 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages hinfo recommends: ii wget 1.10.2-1 retrieves files from the web -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
