Package: advi Version: 1.6.0-3 Severity: important Running the demos (which are .gz-compressed) the first output is Warning: Setting policy to -exec and all actions are performed. Manually uncompressing all files and running advi instead, the user is asked for each external programm instead. This behaviour is a) inconsistent and b) for security reasons the user should always be asked. So either advi should be switched to -exec by default (not recommended) or zadvi should also ask. Note that the man page states: -ask Ask mode: launching an external application requires confirmation (this is the default) (but then the man page does not mention zadvi) -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8 Locale: LANG=de_DE@euro, LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages advi depends on: ii gs 8.01-5 Transitional package ii gs-gpl [gs] 8.01-5 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript int ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.3 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-9 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System Session Management ii libtiff4 3.6.1-3 Tag Image File Format library ii libungif4g 4.1.3-1 shared library for GIF images (run ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxpm4 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X pixmap library ii tetex-bin 2.0.2-23 The teTeX binary files ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- Helge Kreutzmann, Dipl.-Phys.
