Christian Kurz was kind enough to file a bug report for me, at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=149436, which describes this problem. There is already a response to this report, and the maintainer (I think?) is asking for confirmation, because he isn't seeing the same errors. I assume it's okay with everyone involved, so I have put together a list of those of us for whom commenting out "noenv" has fixed the problem: Vineet Kumar [EMAIL PROTECTED] suggested the "noenv" fix, and also confirms that it works for him in thread http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2002/debian-security-200206/msg0 0092.html Jussi Ekholm [EMAIL PROTECTED] confirmed it works in thread http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2002/debian-security-200206/msg0 0157.html Jeff Bonner [EMAIL PROTECTED] asked the original question in http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2002/debian-security-200206/msg0 0043.html and confirms that Vineet's fix works on his machine too Christian Kurz [EMAIL PROTECTED] attempted to help me fix the problem in private messages, then when it was narrowed down he filed the bug report referenced above (I wasn't sure I could describe it accurately) Thanks all for your input and assistance, Jeff Bonner -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
