Thanks for maintaining debian's edict package.
I'm all in favor of fostering international
understanding and good will.
I happened to notice that setting up edict with
"apt-get -f install" resulted in
lookup: relocation error: looku
Upon further inspection, it appears that the
offending package is actually "lookup", which is
evidently called during edict's setup.
I can duplicate the bug by simply running lookup
at the command line.
Please reassign this bug to the "lookup" package.

That's important because it caused the if()
function to mistakenly treat the zero as text.
I think gnumeric automatically added it when I

Hi Bastien,
Thanks for using my new email address.
I (guess) I'm happy to report that I don't get the
bug now.
I now use version 9.02~dfsg-3 of ghostscript.
It's OK with me if you close this bug report.
Thanks,
Kingsley

Much like Marcin in 2009, I'm not seeing a problem
with reverse DNS lookups in 2012.

exim4_passwd_client.
It says, in part
"This goes inevitably wrong if [...] the

I like the idea of enhancing our old friend grep

For what it's worth, Daniel Mills on Freenode's
#bash channel (e36freak) suggested the following
alternative:
awk -v min=1 -v max=10 '{for (f=1; f<=NF; f++) if (+$f >= min && +$f <=
max) {print; found=1; next}} END {exit !found}'
It read text containing numbers on standard input.
