I tried to see whether the user-switching capability could be re-enabled in apt-listbugs, but I don't seem to have found any appropriate strategy. Running (as root) # su nobody -c "w3m http://bugs.debian.org"; This account is currently not available. # echo $? 1 fails. Running (as root) # su _apt -c "w3m http://bugs.debian.org"; # echo $? 1 also fails. Moreover, there's the problem that apt-listbugs uses sensible-browser to find a suitable browser and this does not seem to be configurable for a user with no home directory. If you have any good suggestion, please speak up. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare! To the laboratory! .....................................................
