bugs...

[Michael Stone <mstone@itri.loyola.edu>]

I tried to file these at www.debian.org, but the server said that the
bug tracking page was an unknown URL (it seems to be other URLs, too,
like the packages page.) I tried the german mirror but the timestamp
said Oct 31 so I decided to send a mail to the list and find out what's
going on.

since I've nowhere else to mention them, I'll list them quickly. The
xbase (3.3.1-2) failed postinst. The section:
    test -L /usr/include/X11 && rm -f /usr/include/X11
    if [ -d /usr/include/X11 ]
    then
      cd /usr/include/X11
      cp -a * /usr/X11R6/include/X11
      cd ..
      rm -rf X11
    fi
seems to be at fault. My /usr/include/X11 was empty, so the cp failed
and the postinst broke. Not hard to test for.

Next, sed (2.05-18) has this annoying tendancy to say
  Electric Fence 2.0.5 Copyright (C) 1987-1995 Bruce Perens.
everytime it starts up. Really ugly when my xterms all have this at the
top due to stuff in my rc's:

  Electric Fence 2.0.5 Copyright (C) 1987-1995 Bruce Perens.

  Electric Fence 2.0.5 Copyright (C) 1987-1995 Bruce Perens.

  Electric Fence 2.0.5 Copyright (C) 1987-1995 Bruce Perens.

I'll post these as actual bug reports if someone tells me the best way
to do so.
