The logs for bug #87131 claim it's been fixed. I see that version of libstdc++ is the one I grabbed from incoming, so maybe it wasn't fixed after all :-( > Well, yes.

It was never > updated since I uploaded it, AFAIK. It is out of date, but I built the most recent version and it, too, has this problem. What's the solution? ie, should libc0.2 be providing gconv-modules, or should gtk+ not depend on it on the Hurd? > > And, while I'm listing random breakage, I tried to see if X would work on > > the Hurd..no luck.

Find out which packages contain bogus group ownerships. > (I identified dpkg, bash and ncurses today) There's also stuff in /var/lib/texmf (the tetex packages, maybe). /var/* seems to be owned by me. Stuff from dpkg..stuff in /etc (default, debian_version, skel, issue..) I think base-files also has bad ownership. So does debian-utils. Hm, everything in /root and a bunch of other files root created seem to be root.daniel. I should check my ids next time I'm fiddling with the Hurd; that may be the problem.. > Please!

As far as I know, sawfish is threadless. wmaker might be better standalone, though, since sawfish doesn't have a pager (or I suppose I could get spager working..) /me prays that neither of them uses MAX_PATH_LEN.
