Package: xscreensaver Version: 5.05-3 Severity: grave i just tested the etch -> lenny transition on two of my systems, and xscreensaver ended up locking me out of both of them.
version 4.24 of the xscreensaver daemon was running when i started the upgrade. i went off to work on some other things while the upgrade happened, and when i came back xscreensaver (it still said version 4.24) would no longer accept my password. i had to press the power button on the system to reset it to get back into it. the problem likely occured during the transition from xscreensaver 4.24 to 5.05. this happened on two different machines that i upgraded. let me know if i can provide any more info. thanks for the hard work. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (400, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xscreensaver depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-6 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.11-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpam0g 1.0.1-4+b1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.5-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-4 GNOME XML library ii libxmu6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.7-1 X11 pixmap library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.3-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii libxxf86misc1 1:1.0.1-3 X11 XFree86 miscellaneous extensio ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 XFree86 video mode extension l ii xscreensaver-data 5.05-3 data files to be shared among scre Versions of packages xscreensaver recommends: ii libjpeg-progs 6b-14 Programs for manipulating JPEG fil ii perl [perl5] 5.10.0-15 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii wamerican [wordlist] 6-2.3 American English dictionary words pn xli | xloadimage <none> (no description available) Versions of packages xscreensaver suggests: ii epiphany-webkit [www-br 2.22.3-4+b1 Intuitive GNOME web browser - webk ii fortune-mod [fortune] 1:1.99.1-3.1 provides fortune cookies on demand ii konqueror [www-browser] 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-5 KDE's advanced file manager, web b pn qcam | streamer <none> (no description available) ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.2-2+b1 WWW browsable pager with excellent pn xdaliclock <none> (no description available) pn xfishtank <none> (no description available) pn xscreensaver-gl <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
