RC Bugs with patches (A-F)
Hello,
In light of the current BSP going on at DebCamp, I figured it would be
useful to put together a list of RC bugs that have patches. I've left
off this list any packages that have already been NMU'd, and marked
with an '*' any packages that seem trivial to NMU (esp. FTBFS bugs
where the maintainer hasn't responded). This list includes packages
starting with letters A-F (25 bugs; 14 'trivial').
#190117 adbbs
This patch changes a dependency on pico and pine to nano and
mutt. It needs a look by someone who knows about security;
upstream picked pine because it could presumably be used by a
person that you don't trust to have a full shell account. mutt,
on the other hand, allows you to run external programs.
#188445 autolog
Bug is that autolog has a memory hole. The maintainer is currently
testing the patch to see if the leak has been identified.
#195193 bible-kjv *
FTBFS bug - obsolete varargs (gcc-3.3 transition). Patch doesn't
use the format attribute where perhaps it should.
#194373 blender *
FTBFS bug - multiline strings (gcc-3.3 transition).
#148645 bnc
bnc doesn't have build-deps. Patch fixes that, but doesn't fix
that bnc has no manpages, no standard license file, and an
outdated standards version.
#194871 bopm
FTBFS bug (gcc-3.3 transition). Patch is in CVS and should be
included in next release.
#198323 brickos *
FTBFS bug - multiline strings (gcc-3.3 transition).
#201161 busybox-cvs *
FTBFS bug on ia64. Upstream has fixed this bug, and the bug
report includes a patch for this bug backported to the code
currently in busybox-cvs.
#194874 calife
FTBFS bug (gcc-3.3 transition). Maintainer has acknowledged the patch.
#195282 ccdoc *
FTBFS bug (gcc-3.3 transition).
#200165 chrony
FTBFS bug on mips. Issue is with including kernel headers.
chrony is marked for removal.
#196567 clanlib *
FTBFS bug - missing <cassert> include (gcc-3.3 transition).
#184929 cpanel
cpanel renders sources.list unusable. This package needs some
serious security and policy review. The included patch changes
cpanel to back up sources.list before editting it.
#192987 cwwm *
FTBFS bug - make error.
#197721 diasce *
FTBFS bug - multiline strings (gcc-3.3 transition).
#194522 docbook-jrefentry
Can't DocBookXML with onsgmls. Patch is actually description of
what to change in the bug report.
#201057 dvi2ps *
FTBFS bug - obsolete varargs.h (gcc-3.3 transition).
#189630 elvis *
FTBFS bug - XK_ISO_Lock undeclared. Patch submitter suggests
someone else look it over before NMU'ing.
#161500 emacs21 *
Incomplete information in 'copyright' file. Patch includes
information twice, so that will have to be fixed before applying.
#196399 filmgimp
FTBFS bug - multiline strings (gcc-3.3 transition). Patch fixes
strings error, but uncovers another error that causes filmgimp to segfault.
#195517 firebird *
FTBFS bug - multiline strings (gcc-3.3 transition).
#196249 fluxbox
FTBFS bug - missing includes. Maintainer has acknowledged the
patch, but plans on packaging a new release that includes this fix.

FTBFS bug - invalid preprocessor pasting.
#197225 freewrl *
FTBFS bug - multiline strings (gcc-3.3 transition).
