Bug#555325: gq: version 1.3.4 completely unusable
clone 555325 -1 severity -1 normal reassign -1 release.debian.org retitle RM: gq/testing; orphaned, broken upstream release user release.debian@packages.debian.org usertag -1 + rm thanks After a few crashes the first minutes I threw away all ~/.gq* files and directories. I tried to add a new server. Impossible to enter the bind dn. It simply forgets it. On the first search it crashes. I have seen about 10 crashes in the very few first 10 minutes. This is completely unusable. This version should never have been transferred to testing IMHO. In this state it is better to remove gq completely. Agreed. This package is in quite a bad shape, mostly because latest upstream release (albeit recent) is fubar. The last package maintainer gave up for this reason, and because he was not willing to fix all outstanding issues on the Debian side. As long as either a maintainer step in (which is willing to do that) or upstream releases a decent version, the package is quite useless. The most reasonable course of action from the Debian POV is to remove the package from testing. Can you please do so? Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -o- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc @ Univ.

[ reporting relevant info to the appropriate release.d.o bug report, sorry for the not-so-handy cloning ] After a few crashes the first minutes I threw away all ~/.gq* files and directories.

Bug#555325: gq: version 1.3.4 completely unusable
Package: gq Severity: normal I cannot confirm this bug on amd64-unstable. GQ is running smoothly for quite some time. I have been able to add a new server, connect to it and authenticate using kerberos and sasl. Only the settings for the bind address do not appear in the preferences after the next start. But for me anything works.

Bug#555325: gq: version 1.3.4 completely unusable
Package: gq Version: 1.3.4 Severity: grave Debian testing on an amd64: After a few crashes the first minutes I threw away all ~/.gq* files and directories. I tried to add a new server. Impossible to enter the bind dn. It simply forgets it. On the first search it crashes. I have seen about 10 crashes in the very few first 10 minutes. This is completely unusable. This version should never have been transferred to testing IMHO. In this state it is better to remove gq completely. Workaround: get the sources from the oldstable repository, recompile it and downgrade to 1.0. Do not forget to: echo gq hold | dpkg --set-selections R. -- ___ It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak aloud and remove all doubt. +--+ | Richard Lucassen, Utrecht| | Public key and email address:| | http://www.lucassen.org/mail-pubkey.html | +--+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
