Package: xscreensaver Version: 4.21-5 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
The xscreensaver daemon does not start at all. All I get is : $ xscreensaver xscreensaver: couldn't setgroups to bartvh (1000): Operation not permitted I already tried the following: - reinstalled xscreensaver and xscreensaver-gl, - create a new clean user (adduser test) and run as that user but it keeps on failing. Googling showed that xscreensaver should be set suid (as of 4.12), see for example http://www.usenetlinux.com/archive/index.php/t-117351.html. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xscreensaver depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.1-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libglade2-0 1:2.5.1-2 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.5-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.8-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-10 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpam0g 0.76-23 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 X Window System Session Management ii libx11-6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxml2 2.6.20-1 GNOME XML library ii libxmu6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxpm4 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 X pixmap library ii libxrandr2 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 X Window System Resize, Rotate and ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-1 compression library - runtime Versions of packages xscreensaver recommends: ii libjpeg-progs 6b-10 Programs for manipulating JPEG fil ii netpbm 2:10.0-8 Graphics conversion tools ii perl [perl5] 5.8.7-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii wamerican [wordlist] 5-4 American English dictionary words ii xloadimage 4.1-14.2 Graphics file viewer under X11 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
