Re: Bugs older than two years
Note: also forwarded this to the respective <bugid>@bugs.debian.org.
At the moment I have a fully Hamm system with some packages from
Slink.
Comments anyone?
In article <[🔎] 19990304214043.D23890@azure.humbug.org.au> you write:

"man 9term" appears to work, for me at least for me. It complains
that the man page doesn't exist, and not that it thinks you
haven't supplied the name of the man page.

probably can be closed as it is so old and looks like (to me)
it may not have been a debian problem anyway.

Should probably be reassigned to nvi. vim works ok for me. nvi
in slink has this problem.

??? That is libc5 not libc4 ??? Is libc5 still supported?

Is this really a bug? The BTS doesn't have much information.

This seems to work here, but I haven't had any "disgraceful
disconnects" so I can't really comment. I strongly suspect
the problem was a kernel bug, hence this bug can probably
be closed.

If this problem still exists, it probably should be downgraded
to "wishlist" and relabeled "ncftp recursive gets should work
with netware ftp server" (or similar).

fdformat is no longer part of fdutils (as far as I know; it
has been replaced with superformat), I think this bug should be
closed.
