severity 42632 fixed severity 40791 fixed severity 40828 fixed thanks Hi *, I am just going through the list of release critical bugs. Here is what I found out: > Package: abiword (main). > Maintainer: Darren Benham <gecko@debian.org> > 41980 abiword_0.7.3-1(unstable): m68k configuration missing [WAIT] Next upstream release should fix that. > Package: apache-dev (main). > Maintainer: Johnie Ingram <johnie@debian.org> > 41646 apache-dev: bad apxs setup [PATCH] Madarasz Gergely submitted a patch to the BTS > Package: apsfilter (main). > Maintainer: Matej Vela <vela@debian.org> > [REMOVE] This package can be removed if it is not fixed. > 42157 apsfilter: apsfilter messes with $QUEUE [EASY] Seems to be easy to fix. > Package: apt (main). > Maintainer: APT Development Team <deity@lists.debian.org> > 40628 apt: apt-get simply freezes > [HELP] Can anyone reproduce this bug? Looks like this is a non-bug. Probably a network problem... > Package: autoconf (main). > Maintainer: Ben Pfaff <pfaffben@pilot.msu.edu> > 42632 autoconf: autoconf no work, can't find its temp files [DONE] The current package on master is fixed. > Package: autogen (main). > Maintainer: James R. Van Zandt <jrv@vanzandt.mv.com> > [REMOVE] This package can be removed if it is not fixed. > 42070 autogen_4.5.4-1(unstable): doesn't build from clean source [EASY] Seems to be easy to fix with some knowledge. > 42144 autogen description is completely useless [EASY] There must be some description in the package source... > Package: base (pseudo). > Maintainer: Enrique Zanardi <sr1-boot-floppies@debian.org> > 39753 base: (potato): System create /var/log/wtmp.utmpd and program search > for /var/log/wtmp > [HELP] Someone needs to investigate this. > 40853 base: current potato init seems to like rerunning rc2.d upon any > logins (root or user) > [HELP] Someone needs to investigate this. [NOBUG?] Looks like a hardware problem to me. Seriously, if rerunning rc2.d causes the kernel to crash there must be something very wrong... > Package: base-passwd (main). > Maintainer: Galen Hazelwood <galenh@micron.net> > 36007 update-passwd did many stupid things [HARD] We need a new update-passwd script. > Package: bash (main). > Maintainer: Guy Maor <maor@debian.org> > 34138 Problem with collating, locales and intervals. > [FIX] This is apparently a feature. > 34717 bash: contains /bin/sh link [DOWNGRADE?] I don't think this is release critical. Anyway, it should be fixed but again it's hard to find the right way to solve this. > 38804 bash broken $RANDOM behaviour > [FIX] This is probably a feature. Don't think so. It's just crazy to have another random number after each second. I don't think this is release critical though. > Package: bbdb (main). > Maintainer: Frederic Lepied <Lepied@debian.org> > 40379 bbdb doesn't compile for xemacs21 > [STRATEGY] Maintainer will fix these in 3 weeks; but NMUs are possible. [MEDIUM] Seems to be a problem with a missing path. BTW - when will Karl M. Hegbloom be accepted as a maintainer? > Package: bnetd (main). > Maintainer: Raphael Bossek <bossekr@debian.org> > [REMOVE] This package can be removed if it is not fixed. > 40791 bnetd_0.4.9-1(unstable): build error: missing -lm [DONE] Maintainer made a new package. > Package: boot-floppies (main). > Maintainer: Enrique Zanardi <debian-boot@lists.debian.org> > 35729 rootdisk: Installation from 5.25" floppies seems to require > resc1440.bin > [STRATEGY] 5.25" floppy support will probably be dropped in potato. > 36947 boot-floppies: base.tgz not found - no error message > [HELP] There is not enough sanity checking during the phase where base.tgz > is unpacked. Should be fixed for slink, too. > 41866 [potato only and fixed in CVS] please recompile against libpopt0 > > Package: bplay (main). > Maintainer: Peter Makholm <peter@makholm.net> > 21623 [FIXED(?)] brec: sometimes doesn't record anything > [HELP] Need someone to verify that this is fixed. [BUG] I am still able to reproduce this. > Package: cmucl (main). > Maintainer: Peter Van Eynde <pvaneynd@debian.org> > 38822 cmucl: Causes assert failure in dpkg [HELP] How do you work around this dpkg bug? > Package: communicator-smotif-461 (non-free). > Maintainer: Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org> > [REMOVE] This package can be removed if it is not fixed. > 42259 [TBF] If you open a menu and a cookie pops up, the browser hangs Remove communicator? *arg* Anyway, there is not much we can do about it :( Anyone contacted Netscape about this? > Package: console-tools (main). > Maintainer: Yann Dirson <dirson@debian.org> > 41639 open 1.4-10.1 buffer overrun in command name [PATCH] There is a plausible patch in the report. The problem still exists in the console-tools sources. > Package: console-tools-data (main). > Maintainer: Yann Dirson <dirson@debian.org> > 42086 console-tools-data: Doesn't gracefully upgrade configuration [DOWNGRADE?] A missing font is release critical? Don't think so. Anyway, I will try to dig out the missing font. > Package: cron (main). > Maintainer: Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org> > 42301 logrotate trashes wtmp [MEDIUM] We have to make sure that cron does not rotate the logs anymore and that no functionality is lost in the move to logrotate. Shouldn't logrotate be a base package? > Package: cvs (main). > Maintainer: Tom Lees <tom@lpsg.demon.co.uk> > 38330 cvs: CVS causes currupts and deletes new files. [HELP] I can't fully follow the report but it looks like a bug. I will forward it upstream. > Package: debianutils (main). > Maintainer: Guy Maor <maor@debian.org> > 41636 debianutils: [patch] `mkboot' doesn't find LILO signature. [HELP] Could somebody verify that the patch is correct? We should also be compatible with an old LILO so we have to look at both places. > Package: dhcp (main). > Maintainer: Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> > 41974 dhcp: dhcp requires kernel 2.2?? [HELP] How do we handle this? dhcp2 has more features and needs kernel 2.2 while the old dhcp seems to be no longer in the distribution. I think the new dhcp package should be named dhcp2 and we should have the latest dhcp 1.x in the dhcp package. > Package: diald (main). > Maintainer: Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> > 32592 diald: Problems with dynamic addressing and 2.2.1 kernel [UPDATE] It seems like there is a new upstream which handles this. > Package: dpkg (main). > Maintainer: Ian Jackson and others <dpkg-maint@chiark.greenend.org.uk> > 17624 dpkg: installs regular dir when .deb contains symlink ! > 1797 upgrade/downgrade dependency calculation problem > 21182 dpkg: dpkg can go into an infinite loop with --force-configure-any > 28519 dpkg: creates circular symlinks [POSSIBLE WORKAROUND] > 28817 dpkg takes no care over libdpkg > 30090 weirdass dpkg coredumps and xbase upgrade insanity > 33618 dpkg: most recent hamm version, but *multiple* packages insist it be > upgraded! > [STRATEGY] This was a problem in hamm, it's too late now to fix that. > 36385 consensus on stuff left to be fixed in slink > 40700 dpkg: Resizing dselect in xterm or rxvt causes crash > 41844 sgml-tools: creates invalid texinfo files > 9771 install-info name conflict > [STRATEGY] Our texinfo doesn't install its install-info, so problem isn't > release critical No comment... :-(( > Package: dpkg-dev (main). > Maintainer: Ian Jackson and others <dpkg-maint@chiark.greenend.org.uk> > 25405 xpm: builds libc5 package on powerpc > [FIX] Patch is supplied in #26954. > > Package: dwww (main). > Maintainer: Jim Pick <jim@jimpick.com> > 38821 dwww: dwww-txt2html output is always empty Seems like we need to recompile publib? > Package: eb-doc (main). > Maintainer: Susumu OSAWA <susumu-o@debian.or.jp> > 39662 eb-doc: insufficient executing of install-info [EASY] Just a few invocations of install-info... > Package: ee (main). > Maintainer: Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org> > 41026 ee: GPL and Artistic licenses are NOT compatible > [STRATEGY] Maintainer will fix this by 31/07/99. > > Package: emacs20 (main). > Maintainer: Rob Browning <rlb@cs.utexas.edu> > 33237 /etc/alternatives/emacs not managed properly - /usr/bin/emacs > doesn't run emacs20 > [STRATEGY] Maintainer will fix this next week. When is next week? ;) > Package: fakeroot (main). > Maintainer: joost witteveen <joostje@debian.org> > 42498 fakeroot_0.4.1-2(unstable): stat64 support fails on m68k > > Package: fortune-mod (main). > Maintainer: Brian Bassett <brianb@debian.org> > 42372 fortune-mod: /usr/local/share/games/fortunes: Bad file descriptor [PATCH] I sent a patch to the BTS. > Package: freeamp (main). > Maintainer: Ben Gertzfield <che@debian.org> > 38332 freeamp: [PATCH] glibc 2.1 fixes [HELP] I tried to recompile with the patch but it did not work. > Package: ftp.debian.org (pseudo). > Maintainer: Guy Maor <ftpmaster@debian.org> > 37781 Maintainers index is incomplete for non-us packages. > 38599 packages which should be moved to the base section > > Package: gdb (main). > Maintainer: Vincent Renardias <vincent@waw.com> > 36341 gdb: Gives a parse error when casting an expression [FIXED?] The package has a new upstream. I can't reproduce the problem. > Package: gdm (main). > Maintainer: Steve Haslam <araqnid@debian.org> > 35672 gdm tries to play 'init'... and is very bad at it. [HARD] Somebody wanting to patch this? > 42440 gdm doesn't show all accounts. > 42493 GDM doesn't show all accounts [MEDIUM] Add an option to limit the account shown. > 42636 gdm: the x-server (started by gdm) denies gdm to connect ("client > not a uthorized...") [HELP] Anybody able to reproduce this? > Package: gmc (main). > Maintainer: Michael Bramer <grisu@debian.org> > 40943 gmc: mcedit link missing > [STRATEGY] New upstream version will probably fix this. > > Package: gnome-panel (main). > Maintainer: Steve Haslam <araqnid@debian.org> > 39632 gnome-panel: gnomepager_applet doesn't keep it's settings [FIXED?] New version is in the archive. I can't reproduce. > 40251 gnome-panel: CPULoad applet doesn't work anymore [HARD?] The title is misleading since he tries cdplay_applet... Anyway, it crashes on me. The multiload_applet crashes also :( > 40478 gnome-panel: assertion failed (name_service!=CORBA_OBJECT_NIL) with > the first launch [HELP] How is this supposed to work? > Package: gnome-panel-data (main). > Maintainer: Steve Haslam <araqnid@debian.org> > 40712 asclock contains file also present in gnome-panel-data [STRATEGY?] Make asclock conflict with gnome-panel-data? > Package: gnome-terminal (main). > Maintainer: Steve Haslam <araqnid@debian.org> > 41065 gnome-terminal grossly violates keyboard policy [EASY] Minor patches to gnome-terminal needed, probably only configure-options. > Package: gnomeicu (main). > Maintainer: Stephen Crowley <crow@debian.org> > 40805 gnomeicu: applet freezes panel when cannot connect to ICQ server [HARD] Let's forward this upstream. > 41716 gnomeicu: gnomeicu must not support Russian. Funny thing - with enabling russian you break anything else?
