It's not a property of the terminal, but of ECMA-35.

And what "xterm" are you talking about?  tput has no way to know the
terminal on the other side, as the string TERM=xterm (and
TERM=xterm-256color) applies to over a hundred different terminals using
tens of different code bases.  And you can't even blame their authors, as:
 * most Unices stopped maintaining their terminfo databases (eg. Solaris
   still hasn't learned about TERM=linux.  Solaris is no longer relevant now
   but was relevant for most of that time frame.)
 * even if the databases were maintained, a new terminal would become useful
   only several years after it gets released (as the terminfo entry would
   need to be deployed on every box you might possibly ssh into, with
   failure mode being complete breakage of any terminfo-using program)
Thus, putting aside historic terminals, there are only three TERM values:
 * linux
 * rxvt (used by its derivatives like aterm)
 * xterm (everything else)
(Skipping decorations like -256color which most programs hard-code anyway. 
I thus had to implement 256 color fallbacks in the kernel in 2016; it seems
that eg. 24-bit color is moving the same way.)

And it's that entry what's wrong.  sgr0 means "\e[0m" (or "\e[m"); see
eg. docs for real xterm: https://www.xfree86.org/current/ctlseqs.html

Then it combines two completely different concepts in one label.  SGR is
for character attributes, G0/G1 are for encoding.

Seems like an XKCD 1172 case.

Well, I'm not going to fight a BTS war, but I don't agree with your
decision.

I'll work around this misbehaviour (as it's no extra work for me: I need
to handle legitimately occuring G0/G1 changes anyway).  Still, it is a bug
even if its severity is negligible: thanks to PuTTY's author's stubborness
no maintained software uses G0/G1 anymore.

Thus, the only real fallout is bloating terminal output.  It's still too
slow on serial links or inferior terminals (I felt bad about Scaleway's
web console just hours ago); saving three bytes per sgr0 is not much but
it is a very frequently used sequence.

Bug#1064341: colorized-logs: ansi2txt/ansi2html turn sgr0 into B instead of empty string

[Adam Borowski]

Control: clone -1 -2

Here's the culprit.  The code you asked for is "\e[0m" -- shortenable to
non-canonical but valid "\e[m", which is the second half of tput's output.

What you did not ask for, is "\e(B", which is not allowed in UTF-8 mode,
and in non-Unicode world would switch to an ancient "US" charset.

Putting aside arguments if this code is allowed or not (eg. the author of
Putty has strong feelings on the matter), it's very clearly not what you
asked for, thus the real bug is on tput's side.

I'm reassigning to ncurses-bin as I believe that terminfo is merely an
implementation detail here -- and a grossly obsolete one as the very concept
of terminfo has stopped working by mid-1980's -- but ncurses-bin and
ncurses-base come from the same source package so this hardly matters.

Thus:
"tput sgr0" should produce sgr0, not setusg0 sgr0.

---

There's a second bug, though, this time on my side:

>$ tput sgr0 | ansi2txt ; echo
>B
>
>$ tput sgr0 | ansi2html --no-header
> style="color:#bbb;white-space:pre-wrap;word-wrap:break-word;overflow-wrap:break-word">B

When the text being parsed contains G0/G1 settings, whether intentional or
not, they should be recognized and either implemented or ignored. ansi2txt
promises to remove all ANSI codes, not merely ones that would make sense in
the given context.

It's probably not worth the effort to implement charset conversions anymore
as non-Unicode is thoroughly dead by now; I'll thus ignore these codes.

I guess other codes should be looked at, too...

Thanks for the report (and fix).  I've applied it in git.  However... during
testing, while the package now builds fine on armhf (and armel amd64 ...),
I see it makes valgrind crash on arm64 with:

Warning: DWARF2 CFI reader: unhandled DW_OP_ opcode 0x92
valgrind: m_debuginfo/readdwarf.c:2822 (copy_convert_CfiExpr_tree): Assertion 
'srcix >= 0 && srcix < VG_(sizeXA)(srcxa)' failed.

and likewise this doesn't appear to be a problem with kbtin itself -- it's
just a regular C program that does nothing weird.

While these bugs are unrelated (other than both being failures due to
valgrind not liking new toolchains), it makes no sense to upload the fix
right now.

Bug#1054607: btrfs-progs: btrfs prop set causing system to reboot

The bug in question is in the kernel, not in btrfs-progs (but see below).

This is very clearly not a btrfs filesystem.  The driver associated with
the device in question (ie, your sound card) should either accept the
request or cleanly reject it, not crash the whole machine.

If you could say what driver is responsible for the sound card in your
machine, it'd be possible to fix the crash.  This information can be found
eg. in /proc/asound/cards or other files there.

What btrfs-progs are doing here is setting an xattr named btrfs.compression
(with a value that you provide); unlike ioctls which are at risk of having
a different meaning for an unrelated device, that xattr is cleanly
namespaced.  Thus, my guess is that your sound card's driver will crash
for any xattr whose name it doesn't understand.

You don't need btrfs-progs to reproduce that, you could set the xattr
directly (via the setfattr command), copy it via some backup tool (rsync
in particular teaches people to use -X or lose the ability to use /bin/ping
etc), etc.  And this is (kind of) an unprivileged operation...


The real bug aside, there's a question whether btrfs-progs should protect
the user and fstatfs() every file it processes.  That could be reasonable
but could break remote filesystems from transporting this setting (I don't
know if they do).

Bug#1057295: bcachefs-tools: breaks "mount" if the package is installed

[Adam Borowski]

Package: bcachefs-tools
Version: 24+really1.3.4-1
Severity: important

If bcachefs-tools is installed, "mount" fails to mount any bcachefs
filesystems, saying:

.
Unknown command /dev/nvme0n1p2
bcachefs - tool for managing bcachefs filesystems
usage: bcachefs  []

Superblock commands:
  format   Format a new filesystem
  show-super   Dump superblock information to stdout
  set-option   Set a filesystem option
[... (eleventy lines of help snipped)]
`

Conversely, if the package is _not_ installed, everything goes fine.
Stracing "mount", I see that it tries to run /sbin/mount.bcachefs (which
is symlinked to "bcachefs") if it exists.

The culprit is:
.--[ bcachefs.c ]
#ifndef BCACHEFS_NO_RUST
if (strstr(full_cmd, "mount"))
return cmd_mount(argc, argv);
#endif

...

#ifndef BCACHEFS_NO_RUST
if (!strcmp(cmd, "mount"))
return cmd_mount(argc, argv);
if (strstr(cmd, "completions"))
return cmd_completions(argc, argv);
#endif
`

Ie, the "mount" subcommand (both invoked explicitly and via argv[0]) is not
compiled in our current package.  It's not actually needed for basic operation
(the default logic in /sbin/mount is good enough), but if the helper exists,
"mount" will abort if it the helper fails.

I found it puzzling that no one reported this, quite fatal, bug in two weeks
since your upload (I for one have been away from this machine for a while).
However, it turns out systemd does not use this helper but reinvents it
(expect incompatible ways of handling options, but I digress).  This means,
out of 21 popcon votes, most folks had boot-time mount succeed, while only
manual mount would fail.

In other words:
 ✓ boot-time via systemd
 ✗ boot-time via initscripts
 ✗ manual via "mount"

A simple workaround would be to just drop the /sbin/mount.bcachefs symlink
until rust pieces are back.  But alas, I see that the helper is needed for
handling UUID= stanzas.  A typical person would say /dev/nvme0n1p2 while
d-i prefers PARTUUID= thus that'd _usually_ work... but still not ideal.

On the other hand, at least UUID= has never worked for bcachefs on Debian,
thus at least that part is no regression.

Bug#1052058: apt: refuses to downgrade itself to a version that works on the system

[Adam Borowski]

Package: apt
Version: 2.7.5
Severity: important


Once again we have a package that some people consider broken.  That's
natural, disagreements happen.  That apt insists on a bad scheme not
supported by dpkg has been said about elsewhere.  Normally, that would
be solvable by a simple downgrade.

Except, in this case, apt refuses to do this:

# apt install apt=2.7.3 apt-utils=2.7.3
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Suggested packages:
  apt-doc
The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
  apt apt-utils
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 downgraded, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
E: /bin resolved to a different inode than /usr/bin
E: Unmerged usr is no longer supported, install usrmerge to continue.
N: See 
https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#a-merged-usr-is-now-required
 for more details.

As you can see, the action I requested specifically solves the problem,
yet apt considers it no good.  Thus, I'd need to take steps that are not
obvious to a regular user, and for this specific package risky to break the
system if done wrong.

Thus, apt should consider an operation that touches apt itself to be
another exception for the usrmerge demand.

Bug#1051948: irssi: no indication that you're scrolled up

[Adam Borowski]

Package: irssi
Version: 1.4.4-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: kilob...@angband.pl

Hi!
If you use PgUp to scroll up, there is no visual indication of any kind
that what you're seeing is not the most recent data.  This notoriously leads
to responding to days old stuff, etc -- especially if you're an inattentive
oaf like me.  Unlike most other programs with such a kind of display,
switching off a window and back to it doesn't scroll you to the bottom;
such a position persistence is likely to make you forget that you've scrolled.

Possible ideas:
 * (like I did in kbtin): the input bar replaced with a line of ^
 * (like in zMud): split window with a few lines on the bottom showing what
   is going on
 * an extra indicator on the edge of the status bar

Agreed, but it might be good to say "it would be good to have this",
and send a bug/mail to the relevant teams, asking if there are objections
before anyone spends work to implement this.

I for one have currently no less than three related ideas:
 * this
 * richer arch aliases (better than current dpkg aliases; could be
   implemented like shell foo-$@-bar word multiplication, thus linux-64bit
   would expand to linux-amd64 linux-arm64 linux-s390x ...); idea was kind
   of shot before though
 * replacing explicit arch names in source packages by facets (like:
   x86, little-endian, sse2, time64, ...) that are expanded at build time;
   procrastiplanning to propose this

It's good to discuss such things -- if someone offers to implement such a
change.

Could we oh so please have this as a policy policy in other cases, too?

There's a lot of Debian outside GNOME -- and in fact, if you are already
using their metapackages, you don't need more.  I'd prefer for non-GNOME
metapackages to be universal, and thus what a particular desktop already
depends or does not depend on is not a concern for me.

Thus: OP's request is neither mooted nor vindicated by whatever GNOME does.

Noted.  You don't care about fonts just whether a particular character is
covered, me and other people in the Fonts Team obviously have more interest
in distinct fonts.  That's the diff between eg. linguists vs layout
designers, different people have different priorities.

As this metapackage was written by me, I'm kind of concerned I use "royal
we" too much and say stuff about the opinions of Debian Fonts team more
than warranted -- but, with paragraph^^ above, perhaps the description and
the focus of this metapackage could be changed, to explicitly cater to a
different audience?  Having multiple metapackages do essentially the same
thing is kind of redundant.

DejaVu has a decent but not universal coverage; it's included on the list
more for technical legacy reasons, just like Windows-compatible fonts are.

I'm behind reading mailing lists, but I agree 100% with what other members
of the Fonts Team said.  Noto is ugly, a bit too disk heavy for 60% of
keyboard-attached boxen I use, and pollutes font lists too much.


Besides, Noto can be said to be a metapackage by itself, providing a large
set of fonts -- even if it claims to be a single font, it presents hundreds
of them to the system and UI interfaces.

Alas, noto has the downside of making font pickers next to useless, as
it declares every single of languages it supports as a separate font family.
So instead off just "Noto Sans" "Noto Mono" "Noto Slightly Serifed", you
have "Noto Western Klingon" "Noto Eastern Klingon" and so on, making the
list of available fonts one big noto fest.

Given that you can install Noto yourself if that is your choice, removing
any need for this metapackage, I don't quite see the point of declaring
an alternative.  On the other hand, Dejavu has the technical quirk of
having been taken for granted for so long by random pieces of software,
I'd rather not skip it.  Somehow despite Noto's ubiquity in the Android
world this is not the case for it, as software doesn't get ported (at least,
not without significant changes) between Android and regular OSes much.

I thus consider removing all (or most) alternatives here, and make this
metapackage a single opinionated set.  Alternatives are good for tasks/etc
where there's a serious downside to having them not installed -- for a
set of fonts, not so much.

Bug#1049902: raspi-firmware on non-rpi arm64

Given that the laptop I use on the DebConf right now has 100% likelihood of
having this firmware installed (because of no network otherwise), you might
want to test stuff on it.

On the other hand, while the package can't be removed nor upgraded without
manually messing with both the hook and the postinst, it couldn't be
installed in the first place without doing so as well, thus people are at
least aware.  Thus, my priority is in getting rid of raspi-only bits...

In any case, I'd be glad helping test -- and you can put your hands on
this box if you fancy so.

Bug#1050650: eom: deletion fails with "Couldn't access trash."

[Adam Borowski]

Package: eom
Version: 1.26.0-2
Severity: normal

Hi!
When trying to delete a file, I get:

Error on deleting image IMG_12345678_1234_123_LL.jpg

Couldn't access trash.

In this particular case, the filesystem is mounted with jmtpfs, but I
guess this can happen for plenty other reasons.  What matters though, is
that if whatever place eom tries to stick Windows-style "trash" into
has a layout not expected by eom, it will refuse the deletion at all.

I'd expect to be able to continue.

As, unusually, I can actually test Windows' behaviour today (where you
copied this idea from), and there it doesn't block the action, instead
slightly changing the wording depending on the filesystem layout the image
resides on: "Do you want to" ... "move to trash" vs "delete" ... "?".

I also recall a system somewhere that skipped any smarts, and presented the
user with two menu entries: "move to trash", "delete".

I can't seem to find any related settings in eom's preferences, nor any
hidden but semi-obvious combinations like Shift-Del.

A FTBFS on an architecture that has built before (and hasn't been RMed)
is a bug, and one that's policied as high severity.

A FTBFS that's not a regression is a wishlist, a porting opportunity.
And here it's not even a build failure but a failure to install b-deps.

Obviously we'd prefer thunderbird:armhf to be a thing, but unless/until it
can be fixed, talk about thunderbird addons on armhf is quite moot.
And the way b-deps are written, the moment thunderbird:armhf hits incoming
its addons get enabled in wanna-build, with no human action needed.

Build yes, work no.  The result would be a pointless package you can't use;
adding this (otherwise superfluous) build-dependency avoids having a
non-installable package in the archive.

It's okay.  I waited for the problem to be fixed in pandoc and/or groff,
as pmdk is merely an user of these tools, but apparently this takes a
while.  Thus, papering over the failing test for now is a good idea.

Hi!
It's a good idea to always run lintian before uploading a package anywhere.
This allows skipping round-trips as it automates a great majority of stuff
to look for.

In this particular case there's:

E: msc-generator: missing-depends-on-sensible-utils sensible-browser 
[usr/bin/msc-gen]
E: msc-generator changes: unreleased-changes
W: msc-generator source: build-depends-on-1-revision Build-Depends: 
libreoffice-impress-nogui (>= 4:7.5.4~rc2-1) [amd64] 

And as usually, the explanations given by -i are good.

Let's fix that first; I did not notice any other problems so far but I took
only a brief glance.

Bug#1041207: debootstrap: bad NMU produces buildds not supported by dpkg _and_ CTTE

[Adam Borowski]

Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.128+nmu3
Severity: grave

bluca's NMU on 2023-07-15 makes debootstrap produce chroots using the
aliased-dirs scheme.  While it's currently the default scheme for non-buildd
systems, it is both not supported by dpkg (with no solution in sight), but
is also likely to produce packages that are explicitely forbidden by a
recent CTTE ruling that disallows moving files between directories aliased
by the current usrmerge scheme.

Quoting the still unsolving issues is pointless (you can read about them
in massive threads in a number of places) as bluca seems to be ignoring
them completely.

But, what matters here is the CTTE ruling in #1035831 -- for the time being,
packages must not move files between locations affected by the aliasing.

Packages built in an usrmerged chroot place such files under /usr while
built without usrmerge into whatever place they were installed to -- which
is a direct breach of the ruling.

Thus, that change needs to be reverted for now, and all packages built
with 1.0.128+nmu3 need to be either rebuilt or at least checked for such
a violation (as most are unaffected).

Bug#1040621: binutils-mipsen: missing shlib dependencies

[Adam Borowski]

Source: binutils-mipsen
Version: 10+c3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

mips* binutils tools crash on startup:
$ mips64el-linux-gnuabi64-as
mips64el-linux-gnuabi64-as: error while loading shared libraries: 
libsframe.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The culprit is:
$ ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopcodes-2.40.50-mips64el.20230611.so
libsframe.so.0 => not found
which would be prevented by package relationships/DAK/etc, had the
dependency on libsframe be included in binaries you produce.

Bug#1040513: wireplumber: non-installable due to hardcoded Depends: dbus-user-session

[Adam Borowski]

Package: wireplumber
Version: 0.4.14-3
Severity: grave

Hi!
In version 0.4.14-3, you added a hard dependency on a specific session
model of dbus, rather than the virtual package defined by the Policy
(dbus-session-bus).  This makes it non-installable on any box where a
dependency of that package is non-functional or unwanted.

As of policy 4.3.0, the expected dependency is:
default-dbus-session-bus | dbus-session-bus

We have two implementations of  in Debian:
 * dbus-user-session:
   + works with wayland
   - no multiseat support
   - requires systemd
 * dbus-x11
   - requires x11
   + allows multiple sessions
   + portable even to non-linux

I confirm that, as of 0.4.14-2 wireplumber works well with dbus-x11, and
earlier versions did so for quite a while too.

Bug#1039450: ndctl: Split ndctl-monitor (and cxl-monitor?) into own package

[Adam Borowski]

Control: severity -1 wishlist

Such a livecd is a non-standard (but not non-important!) usage, and it
already customizes other facets of packages it includes.  What about
configuring that livecd to not start such daemons?

> But often, if I boot this same livecd on a machine that does not have cxl

That's news to me.  I don't run systemd myself (heck, it's so buggy it even
fails to boot my main workstation, and I have a severe dislike of it for
other reasons), and I've included the .service from upstream as-is, after
very superficial testing.  The daemon is supposed to gracefully exit if
there's nothing to monitor:

2023-06-19T06:01:41.874004+02:00 valinor ndctl: ndctl monitor daemon started
2023-06-19T06:01:41.874062+02:00 valinor ndctl: no dimms to monitor, exiting

I had even suggested/implemented some improvements here to upstream, but not
surprisingly 99% of my testing was done with sysvinit and openrc.

Still, it's surprising the upstream would fail to notice what you report:

Maybe this redness is a regression?

Seems like something to investigate once tuits are more abundant.

The rule in Debian is to start a daemon if it's installed; eg. Red Hat has
the opposite custom.  There's usually no point in installing daemons that
are not needed; and it those rare cases you do, the admin can disable them
from starting.  This sounds like a good modification for the livecd.

As their user count is many orders of magnitude larger than that of ndctl,
and so is diversity of supported hardware (NVDIMMs are found only in fat
servers), they also have far more collective brain cells.  I'd thus wait
for their decision then copy it.

Done this for now.

That's a reasonable request.  However, I wonder, how intrusive the daemon
is?  If there are no failures, it just sits there doing nothing, not taking
any significant amount of memory.  It's same as eg. smartmontools.
If the daemon is still unwanted, it can be disabled via update-rc.d or
systemd equivalent.

Splitting the two daemons away would make sense for packages that run on
resource-constrained systems, but machines that have pmem are very, very far
from that :)

Thus: could you tell me if your use case would suffer if you had to manually
disable the daemons from starting?

Bug#824691: time to go

In May 2016 it was written:

It hasn't, and 7 years later, it is time for it to go.

Its packaging is of incredibly low quality: empty dirs, stuff installed to
wrong dirs -- including a bogus directory right under /usr, sometimes
building infinitely long, etc, etc.

It's also non-free when so many alternatives exist.

Thus: please RM it from the archive.

Hi!
The commands you run for % targets will fail badly if ran in parallel, and
that's the default these days.  Please run that only once, eg from
override_dh_auto_configure (as that's a target that's run early).

Other nice to have bits:
 * the description doesn't say what DAMON is, even "Data Access Monitoring
   Operator" doesn't shed much light
 * a command-line tool really should have a man page

(but only the first part is a blocker)

Severity: important

Hi!
The JFS filesystem is deprecated in the kernel: on life support since 2009
and with talks of removal altogether.  Thus, we really shouldn't offer to
format new setups with it.  There are people who kind-of remember JFS being
the fastest back in the day, and it's irresponsible to set them for failed
upgrades past Bookworm.

Thus: please remove JFS from the installer.

ncurses uses its own fork of autoconf, autoconf-dickey, that's peculiar to
ncurses' upstream.  Not surprisingly, it lacks improvements and fixes from
mainline.

That file is a no-op script that's there just to placate mount mechanisms
which blindly run fsck on startup.  Unlike ext4 which still supports
ext2 filesystems that risk damage, possibly widespread and/or hidden,
in the case of an unsafe shutdown, modern filesystems (btrfs, xfs, jfs, …)
no longer require that.

If the kernel is unable to recover on its own, the cause must have been a
hardware or software problem which can't happen during normal operation,
and data loss of some kind is likely -- thus there's nothing that's prudent
to try to fix _automatically_.

Ie, /sbin/fsck.btrfs serves no purpose that'd be useful in an udeb.

Before I close this report, may I ask if you have a purpose for this
stub?  You probably wanted a full-blown recovery tool, but I may be
getting you wrong.

Bug#1022222: valgrind-if-available shouldn't stop providing valgrind on mipsel

[Adam Borowski]

Control: severity -1 normal

(I intended to avoid having to argue by implementing specific objective
tests that valgrind has to meet to be declared available, but I did not
manage to get that done.  Thus, arguing...)

(as said already elsewhere) Failing to build because valgrind is not
available means you're using the package wrong: it may or may not pull in
valgrind, and the set of architectures can and will change without any
warning.  The whole purpose of this metapackage is to track valgrind's
availability so 100+ individual packages don't need to.

Ie, instead of:
  if arch in (foo bar baz quux)
 build --valgrind=yes
  else
 build --valgrind=no
you do:
  if `which valgrind >/dev/null`
 build --valgrind=yes
  else
 build --valgrind=no

No, this particular problem is that valgrind doesn't work on _some_
mipsel machines.  This doesn't make valgrind itself useless, but makes
it unsuitable for being ran as a part of automated testsuites.

As our buildds appear to be all Loongsons, coding some complex machinery
to detect the subarch at runtime would be a waste of time.  Flat out
saying "disable valgrind tests on mipsel" is easier and works good enough
for now.

It fails at least in 3.19 (unstable) and 3.20 (experimental):

It appears that no one, both upstream and _in Debian_, cares enough about
mipsel to fix bugs or even report them, thus I don't expect it to be solved
anytime soon -- or, probably, ever, as mipsel is not long for this world.

But, as the trivial solution would be removing support for mipsel completely
from valgrind, I think users are better served by being provided something
that works on at least _some_ hardware.

This very same test works fine on mips64el.

Seems we understand "available" differently:
* for you, it means "shipped at all",
* for me, it means "works for a typical set of tasks".

valgrind on mipsel is functional on old hardware but dies even on "hello
world" on Loongson.  I consider this availability to be lacking.


My plans for this bug are:
* s/available/available and functional/ in the description
* run all tests even on marginal archs, but don't fail the build if it's
  an expected failure

This doesn't look like an update that's fit for Bookworm during the hard
freeze.  There's no description of changes attached, thus I can't tell if
these are bugfixes only.  If so, please say so.

Otherwise, let's use experimental or just refrain from uploading until
Bookworm is released.

Bug#1032967: [btrfs-progs][armhf] Cannot delete a subvolume or create a snapshot

Hi, there are known issues with large filesystems on 32-bit.  Not just
btrfs for that matter -- it's just more likely to be affected because of
native multi-device support and two layers of addressing.

Thus:
* how big is the filesystem?
* does it consist of multiple devices?
* has it been rebalanced or converted to a different redundancy profile?

If the sum of all parts that are (or ever have been) included in the
filesystem approaches 8TB, this would be the cause.  In addition, any
address space that was allocated in the past but had been balanced/converted
away is lost -- virtual offsets always go up.  This is not a concern on
64-bit as you can't possibly use them up, but for 32-bit the limit can be
exceeded even with a single large disk.

Other filesystems also suffer from this limit, although MD at least moves
the threshold from being applied to raw device size to the available size
which allows redundant raid as long as the resulting size is below[1] 8TB.

Shedding the limit would require changing many parts of the kernel, and
there is currently no intention of ever doing that.  Thus, I'm afraid you
need to either use a smaller filesystem or a 64-bit kernel (which your CPU
doesn't support).

There's little support for 32-bit in general, it's in maintenance mode
these days...


Did I assume correctly that you ran into the limit?  If not, please say so.
Otherwise, all we can do is improving error messages.


[1]. Because disk manufacturers cheat on the definition of "terabyte",
an "8TB" disk has less than 1099511627776 bytes.

Bug#1001889: patch doesn't seem to help

[Adam Borowski]

Hi!
Sorry for missing the bug report somehow -- on team packages, uploaders
don't receive notifications by default, and I dun goofed while subscribing.

It's bad to have wxmaxima crash because of a mere theme...
But, even after applying your fix, wxmaxima continues to crash.

Since you already figured out the issue before, could you take a glance at
  https://salsa.debian.org/desktop-themes-team/darkcold-gtk-theme
branch "wip" and see what am doing wrong?

It appears the package is not compatible with new autotools; they have
been updated quite a while ago but as the package is 32-bit only the
failure wasn't noticed during usual QA efforts.

I've verified the fail on i386 and armhf.

Hi!
I believe it's better if packages carry some non-metadata contents, which

Hi!
Alas, the package fails to build:

.
dh_missing: warning: etc/kysdk/kysdk-base/kylog-rotate-default exists in

While detecting missing files, dh_missing noted some files with a 
similar name to those
that were missing.  This error /might/ be resolved by replacing 
references to the
missing files with the similarly named ones that dh_missing found - 
assuming the content
is identical.

As an example, you might want to replace:
 * src/log/kylog-rotate-default
with:
 * etc/kysdk/kysdk-base/kylog-rotate-default
in a file in debian/ or as argument to one of the dh_* tools called 
from debian/rules.
(Note it is possible the paths are not used verbatim but instead 
directories 
containing or globs matching them are used instead)

Alternatively, add the missing file to debian/not-installed if it 
cannot and should not
be used.

The following debhelper tools have reported what they installed (with 
files per package)
 * dh_install: libkysdk-base (0), libkysdk-base-dev (1), 
libkysdk-config (2), libkysdk-config-dev (3), libkysdk-log (5), 
libkysdk-log-dev (3), libkysdk-timer (2), libkysdk-timer-dev (3), 
libkysdk-utils (4), libkysdk-utils-dev (9)
 * dh_installdocs: libkysdk-base (0), libkysdk-base-dev (0), 
libkysdk-config (0), libkysdk-config-dev (0), libkysdk-log (0), 
libkysdk-log-dev (0), libkysdk-timer (0), libkysdk-timer-dev (0), 
libkysdk-utils (0), libkysdk-utils-dev (0)
If the missing files are installed by another tool, please file a bug 
against it.
When filing the report, if the tool is not part of debhelper itself, 
please reference the
"Logging helpers and dh_missing" section from the "PROGRAMMING" guide 
for debhelper (10.6.3+).
  (in the debhelper package: /usr/share/doc/debhelper/PROGRAMMING.gz)
Be sure to test with dpkg-buildpackage -A/-B as the results may vary 
when only a subset is built
If the omission is intentional or no other helper can take care of this 
consider adding the
paths to debian/not-installed.

I looked into it, but it seems that extract-vmlinux will fail at least for
uncompressed EFI kernels: it won't skip the PE wrapper to get to ELF.

And apparently I'm too much of an idiot to find how the wrapper's length is
stored within over multiple hours of searching.  While I bet I could solve
the problem after some more thinking, I'll prioritize other stuff for now.

It's a valid request, I'm just a bit short on tuits these days.

Bug#1030950: btrfs-convert is built without support for reiserfs

This would require help from the src:reiserfsprogs side.  I'm thus cloning
accordingly.

Too bad, the freeze blocks the usual ways of introducing such a library. 
There are ways to work around that but none are pretty.

But, it's Felix (reiser maintainer) who knows how the library looks like;
compiling against a library is trivial in comparison.  Thus, it's him who
can enlighten us.

Well, what I suggested was orphaning the package rather than removing, but
you're right, the latter is probably for the better.

Hi!
These changes are not something that's fit for a NMU.
On the other hand, a QA upload is long overdue...

Could you please orphan the package?

Based on this bug's history, the BTS admin's action would be welcome,

That's not helpful.  The bug is not "please implement an init script",
it's "please restore it in the package that ships the daemon".

The o-s-s package has an implementation that works in the _usual_ cases.
But here we have at least two legitimate but less widespread uses:
 * running the daemon by hand / initless (Ian)
 * a preinstalled system by mavens from Oracle Cloud (which is as solid as
   its name suggests) that I tried to sanitize but apparently missed
   something
and that's just a tiny slice of things that Debian users do.

Ie, despite all the efforts, the o-s-s machinery fails in some corner cases,
and it appears it's either not possible to make it handle such cases or it'd
require ideas that elude us at the moment (do you have a suggestion?).  All
of which can be trivially fixed by just statically shipping the init script
in the daemon package just like everything but a few daemon packages in
Debian do.

While, per the GR, init script support is "only" a "should" rather than
"must", here we have:
 * a very prominent package
 * ... that, according to your words, is redundant on systemd
 * ... but is vital for everyone else
 * had an init script for 1½ decades -- which is not known to have regressed
 * there's no dearth of users+DDs who test and provide patches
 * it's not easy to "explore alternatives" without basic logging

Ie, expectations are different for a core package than for some random
doodad, and here you're doing a disservice to the majority of remaining
users when the package is no longer installed by default on systemd.

(Rationale: with systemd users apparently not requiring logs that survive a

I just installed a new box, and I see that rsyslog is not started, despite
orphan-init-scripts being installed (I'll need to find out why, busy rn).

Thus, evidently the hacks required for o-i-s to mess with conffiles on
installation of a different package are not robust enough.  This can be
argued to be a bug in o-i-s -- but all this complexity shouldn't be needed
in the first place.

Oif, the man page itself shouldn't be renamed.  As the executable in $PATH
is "mdl", the man page should be named so.

Bug#1030395: mk-build-deps: adds bogus arch qualifiers

Package: devscripts

 libzstd-dev (>> 1.4~),

 zstd,

-- as you see, there's not a single bit that differs based on arch.
Thus, it makes no sense to invent such a qualifiers.

Alternatively, if, to simplify implementation, you assume that the B-Deps
always differ per-arch, the resulting dependency package should be arch:any
rather than arch:all.

I've just re-tested:

Distribution: bullseye
Host Architecture: amd64
Source-Version: 0.5.0-2
Status: successful

So the package does build ok.  Do you have an example of a build environment
that is not explicitly declared "totally broken" by the Policy (§2.5)?

Bug#1027905: not reproducible in a valid sbuild chroot

[Adam Borowski]

Control: tags -1 +unreproducible
Control: severity -1 wishlist

Hi!
You've done a MBF despite _negative_ consensus in several discussions
(debian-devel, debootstrap, policy, ...); folks seem to be in agreement
that either the Policy doesn't require building in an environment that
is explicitly "totally broken" (§2.5), or at least that the issue is
not RC.

Thus: is there a way to reproduce this failure without intentionally
removing tzdata?  If not, I believe this bug should be closed -- and,
if the change has already been applied in git, that it should be
reverted.

Hi!
The alleged patch doesn't fix the FTBFS.  Besides the non-bug (per numerous

a non-sabotaged build chroot.

I'm thus untagging "patch".

Bug#919348: bring it in for Bookworm?

Hi!
Would you be willing to reconsider for Bookworm?

While you do have reservations about xfce4-screensaver, the question is
not whether it's perfect, but how it fares against alternatives.  And
lightm-locker is so buggy it's outright useless for a good deal of users
while reports for xfce4-screensaver are better.

Thus even if not default, it'd be good to have it as an alternative --
at least installable.

And we do know there's not a single bug filed with a GB* locale within the
last 12 years.

There's far fewer reports from Chinese people than the population would
indicate: 0.75% of those with locale information, but that's still 3241
reports; I find it implausible that there's a non-negligible number of
users that go with GB* yet not a single of them gave a single bit of
feedback.

It appears to me they require the character _set_ but not encoding: ie,
that all glyphs can be displayed, they can be entered from keyboard, etc.
The standard talks a lot about font support, etc.

Our installer doesn't allow choosing such a locale, thus if indeed the
encoding not character set is legally required, then we'd need to change
so before the release.

But I don't expect that to be the case -- a few years ago I played with
Deepin and don't remember any weird encoding being used.  It would be good
to either check again, or ask one of their maintainers.

But for now, I gotta run.

Feb 12 is the cut-off; the package must be in testing at that time.  Then if
you have autopkgtests (vectorscan does), there's two more months before hard

Bug#1029017: RM: pmdk-convert -- ROM; useless, killed upstream

Severity: normal
User: ftp.debian@packages.debian.org
Usertags: remove
X-Debbugs-Cc: pmdk-conv...@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:pmdk-convert


Hi!
Please remove pmdk-convert.  It can be used only to upgrade on-memory data
from old releases of pmdk which haven't even been in Debian.  While pmdk
itself stays, it has managed to avoid format compat breakages that would
require offline manual conversion for quite a long time.  And the fancy
structures have been used only for high-level stuff that has been just
killed upstream.  Other stacks that have been built atop pmdk don't use
that -- and in the very unlikely case a conversion would be needed in
the future, we can revive the package.  For now, though, it has been killed
upstream -- and considering flaws in its design, I'd rather rewrite the
converter from scratch.

Thus: please send pmdk-convert to the great bit bucket in the sky.

Hi!

They form a stack that has just been discontinued.  As you still need
a fat mucho-$$$ server to use hardware this software requires for any
non mocked up purpose, it doesn't have any real popcon.

Note: while the description of libpmemobj-cpp speaks mostly about it
being bindings for libpmemobj which stays, in fact it turned into a
massive project that implemented the real guts of pmemkv.  While in
theory one could use parts of that library for pmemobj, I wouldn't

Hi,
the ftp team has requested that soname bumps go through experimental,
because of transition freeze, and that requests to do otherwise are
clearly marked in the changelog, saying why.

Bug#1021079: disable the ppc64el binary for now?

[Adam Borowski]

Hi!
As the window for new packages to [re-]enter bookworm will close soon,
and fixing vectorscan on ppc doesn't appear to be coming, what about
disabling that arch for now?

It is described as "in development", thus it's not surprising it's
not working yet.  It'd be shame for the package to miss bookworm.

... too fast, in fact.  Per the discussion on debian-policy, it's not a bug,
and this way I have a redundant dependency which actually is a bug (for a
good reason: it makes it harder to reorganize unrelated packages).

I've thus reverted the change -- in git, not worth a separate upload.

Because I considered doing so to be less effort than arguing.  Which has

Here I agree, but inventing new bugs where there's no FTBFS is not helpful.

"FTBFS" means the package actually fails to build from source, using
any of build machinery present in the archive, on a realistic
hardware/kernel/setup, for a distribution the given bug is marked as
affecting.

Thus, for example: a FTBFS with a future version of gcc or with buildflags
that are not enabled yet is not a RC bug, becoming serious only once such a
compiler/configuration is actually uploaded to unstable.  Likewise, a change
to the build environment where tzdata is no longer available, would be RC
only in unstable but not in bullseye.

Okay, I'm not closing the bug for bullseye.  I did though reduce the
severity to wishlist as it's (per the debian-policy discussion) neither
RC nor even contravening bullseye's nor current unstable's policy,
and the change is opposed by a number of people.

Debian's default sysctl settings should reside in procps (as it owns

Bullseye has been a non-moving target for two years, thus changing
requirements packages there are expected to meet is grossly belated.
There are cases where adding such a requirement is worth the effort
(eg. new hardware, or a hitherto unknown type of bugs), but I don't
see how something with no practical benefit qualifies.

This doesn't mean I intend to stop your efforts for releases currently
in development -- I've already fixed this very bug in unstable (even
though I disagree with the premise).  But doing this for stable...
come on...

No tool in Bullseye produces such build chroots, and this is what matters
here.  There's no practical benefit of retroactively changing packages:
neither security rebuilds nor packages built by the users themselves will
lack tzdata (the former because of build tools, the latter because of how
Policy 2.5 defines "required").

Thus: I argue this is not a bug, and that even if it actually is a bug,
there are no practical benefits of fixing it in _stable_.

We are free to redefine requirements for future releases, of course.

It is.  It is merely not included in the _informational_ list shipped by
a metapackage by that name; it explicitly says:

# This package is NOT the definition of what packages are
# build-essential; the real definition is in the Debian Policy Manual.
# This package contains merely an informational list, which is all
# most people need.   However, if this package and the manual disagree,
# the manual is correct.

And Policy 4.2 which you just quoted says:

# (including any implied relationships)

I'd say that the Policy declaring systems that lack Priority:required
packages to be broken fulfills this clause.

It seems that multiple debootstrap maintainers disagree -- and so do I.
But, as I said before, I have no real objections to changing this for
Bookworm.  Making an upload to add the B-Dependency was less effort than
arguing, and I've already one so, thus complying with whatever rule wins.

These bugs are caused only by your intentional change to build chroots
you use.  You can save that time by not doing that _active_ step for past
releases.

I can't reproduce the failure using any of common menthods of creating a
build chroot.  Neither could the buildds nor any of people running archive
rebuilds so far.

Is there any way _relevant for bullseye_ that would produce the build chroot
without a Priority:required package such as tzdata?

If not, I don't believe this is a bug for stable.  Not merely a serious bug,
not a bug at all -- it can't happen on buildds nor on user systems.

I have nothing against adding such a B-Dependency in unstable: this is where
new development is supposed to be done, preparing a new upload costs but a
few mins of my time.  On the other hand, updating stable requires extensive
process and wastes the time of me, the Release Team, of people preparing the
new point release announcement, of users testing and deploying the update.

Its use is basically mandatory any time you submit a bug to gcc, thus
there's no chance it goes away -- even if indeed no one is stepping up
for full-time maintenance.  It's just code that works well enough, and
doesn't seem to require new upstream updates basically ever.

A package rename would take at least a couple of Debian releases, thus
isn't something that works in a reasonable timeframe.

Thus, you'd need to upload as git-delta or such now, then maybe be able
to take over the name in the future...

The old way involves meeting in person, briefly waving a government-looking
id in the face of someone who has no ability to verify the id's authenticity
in any way -- and, as we joke, an id is valid if the photo doesn't look like
you as that's how real ids look (only a forger would be a try-hard enough to
get a photo that actually resembles you!).  And it's trivial to get fakes
that are good enough to fool professionals anyway.

The new way is to have a quick video chat (in order to ascertain you didn't
hire a random drunkie), and wave aforemented government-looking id.

In either case, you can use any DD, me included.
 * for a physical meeting, you're probably far from Gdańsk, Poland

Thus: if you're not afraid of the trauma of seeing my face, I'm a valid
endorser.  Or you can ask anyone else...

My primary source is glibc, especially the debconf questions from "locales",
although bit-rot and/or outright droppage is widespread in other packages.

Systemd does so since version 240, sysvinit relies on settings in /etc/
thus in the case of bare debootstrap the variables might be unset -- which
is mostly moot since glibc 2.35.  We briefly discussed an one-line patch
to ensure there's a fallback default, it's currently not applied (but can
be).  This would be relevant only for corner cases like an unconfigured
system running non-glibc non-musl binaries that rely on LC_*.

I'm less knowledgeable about containers, but they appear to work.  It might
be due to copying variables from the host or having template defaults...

Anyway, my aim is more to tell packages that they are allowed to misbehave
when the settings are missing than to hunt misuse scenarios.  But, if such
a scenario is found, with the current Policy there is no recourse, while
if this rule is added it would be a bug.

Hmm... if I recall correctly, old POSIX left the behaviour of characters
above 126 undefined, making C.UTF-8 _almost_ match the requirements (with
only exception being iswblank() IIRC), but current version specifies ASCII
(rather than C standard's "portable subset") with no additions to character
classes other than cntrl and punct allowed.

This is the locale all processes start with, until they call set

We actually do have data about locale usage in Debian.
I've copied .report files from bugs-mirror, and
grep -arm1 ^Locale: */*/*.report
shows that:
* most recent use of BIG5 is #925894 from March 2019
* there's no use of any GB locale (other than en_GB :p) past #609517 (2011)
* for EUC there's #1001207 (2021) #953616 #939588 #939494 #893625

Thus:
* Chinese encodings are totally dead for being used as a system locale
* Japanese are nearly so

That Wikipedia page presents stuff from 2008 as new developments, thus is
a wee bit outdated...

A bunch of ranges that are only partially supported by Cardo have the rest
of the block filled with replacement tokens.  These tokens block a proper
glyphs being borrowed from another font.  As Cardo has a high priority
(for a good reason -- it's usually good), this effectively breaks the
affected blocks if Cardo is installed.

These blocks are:
* Runic (U+16A0..U+16F0)
* single glyph U+2112 (script capital L)
* circle arrows U+27F2, U+27F3, U+2938..U+293F
* Gothic U+10330..U+1034A
* math fraktur U+1D504..U+1D52D

Bug#1026231: debian-policy: document droppage of support for legacy locales

[Adam Borowski]

Package: debian-policy
Version: 4.6.1.1
Severity: wishlist

Hi!
As of Bookworm, legacy locales are no longer officially supported.  In order
to not break testsuites, they're mostly working if you install locales-all,
and you may manually request their generation by editing /etc/locale.gen --
but functionality is expected to bit rot and/or be removed in the future.

Thus, what about spelling this in the Policy?:

* Software may assume they always run in an UTF-8 locale, and emit or
  require UTF-8 input/output without checking.
* The execution environment (usually init system or a container) must
  default to UTF-8 encoding unless explicitly configured otherwise.
* Legacy locales are no longer officially supported, and packages may
  drop support for them and/or exclude them from their testsuites.
* Packages may retain support for legacy locales, but related bug reports
  (unless security related) are considered to be of wishlist severity.
* Filesystems may be configured to reject file names that are not valid
  printable UTF-8 encoded Unicode.
* So-called BOM (U+FEFF) must not be added to plain-text output, and if
  present, editors/viewers customarily used for editing code should not
  hide its presence.
* Human-readable files outside of packages' private data must be encoded
  in UTF-8.  This applies especially to files in /usr/share/doc and /etc
  but applies to eg. executable scripts in /bin or /sbin as well.

Rationale: it takes non-trivial amount of code to support diverse encodings;
Unicode is a strict superset of all legacy charsets thus there's no loss of
functionality by switching to it exclusively.  In todays Unicode world, text
files of other encodings present a barrier to being read by the user.

While data received from outside the network may legitimately use legacy
locales, requiring all of stdin/stdout/stderr and filesystem data to use
UTF-8 would simplify code.  It's not like we pay more than lip service to
other encodings anymore...

While diversity in software is welcome, diversity in standards is not:
UTF-8 will not damage your pinky finger nor require Alt-F2 kill -9 to
exit; will not make your computer fail to boot or require a trip to the
data center; nor infect your K desktop with gnomeitis.  [Of course, there's
no plausible reason to use Postfix, ever!].  In other words, having multiple
phone vendors is essential but having multiple charging connectors is bad.

As for BOM, it is explicitly discouraged by the Unicode Consortium, and can
cause security vulnerabilities where scripts that pass human review act
different than it appears.  #!/bin/perl gets executed by bash, and
this is just one of examples.

As for inits/containers declaring LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8, systemd has been doing
this for a while, in sysvinit land we debated whether that's still needed
when glibc started to consider unset locale to mean C.UTF-8 rather than C
-- but then, some language compilers do not use glibc.  debootstrap doesn't
configure a default locale, while not all higher-level tools do so,
rendering a system installed in non-standard but reasonable way to lack
the setting, to the surprise of the admin.

When in that project's native environment, ie a RPM distribution, the name
_is_ adequate.  It's only in Debian (/Alpine/Arch/Gentoo/...) where the
name can be confusing.  But then, there's no requirement for the package
name to match upstream.

While I do have a bunch of hardware to test, and qemu for the rest, I'm
afraid Maven issues are completely out of my expertise areas.  Thus, it
seems that someone else will need to help here.

It builds on amd64 for me, yay!

The package is marked as UNRELEASED in the changelog, thus explicitly not
for upload.  I'll leave further review to someone with a clue about Java
and Maven...

Hi!
There's a dropping in /usr/bin : ".gitaction".

Looks good otherwise.

Bug#1025871: RFS: d11amp/0.59-1 [ITP] -- Simple MP3 player (All green now)

While, as Bastian mentioned, we have plenty of MP3 players in the archive
already, I don't believe that's a reason to block someone from working on
something they consider to be worth spending their time on -- as long as
there's no significant cost to the project.

A random package like this costs us ~1KB increase of Packages index
downloads, minor cycles during archive rebuilds, and basically that's it.

I see, your Build-Depends list binary libraries rather than headers:
Build-Depends: debhelper (>=11),
   debhelper-compat (= 13),
   libc6 (>= 2.34),
   libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4),
   libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0),
   libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.31.8),
   libgtk-4-1 (>= 4.0.0),
   libmpg123-0 (>= 1.28.0),
   libportaudio2 (>= 19+svn20101113),
   libzip4 (>= 0.10)
What you need is to replace the runtimes with devel packages:
libgtk-4-dev
libzip-dev
and so on.

There's no need to list libc6/libc-dev (it's in build-essential), the
bdependency on debhelper is redundant (you already pull debhelper-compat),
and as shown by the "pkg-config: not found" you need pkgconf (which is
the new implementation of pkg-config that replaced it).

That's not a problem, upstream of that package has dropped support for
32-bit and unless it somehow comes back, tuxguitar will stay
BD-Uninstallable on those architectures.

Because of the off chance the dependences _do_ come back, it's better
to leave them enabled instead of explicitly dropping in debian/control.

The previous versions were ok, I tested arm64 and it fails the same way
amd64 does.  Which is:

[ERROR] Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-antrun-plugin:1.7 or one of
its dependencies could not be resolved: Cannot access central
(https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2) in offline mode and the artifact
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-antrun-plugin:jar:1.7 has not been downloaded
from it before.

Sounds like you missed a build dependency...

Hi!
Could you please follow the NMU procedure?  This is not a high-severity or
urgent bug, thus I see no reason to skip the rules.

The Policy has details, but in short: please post to a bug (in this case
#1024688) that you intend to do a NMU, adding a debdiff of the proposed
changes (in this case, the Salsa merge request should be enough).

Only then the clock starts ticking, which is 10 days for regular NMUs.
Of course, if you believe the maintainer won't react, uploading to
DELAYED/10 (which in this case is done by a sponsor) will fulfill this
requirement while not requiring you to remember to do an action in the
future.  But in either case, the intent-to-NMU mail is still required.

Hi!
It looks like you have a bunch of droppings of a failed merge left in

Hi!

.--[ debian/source/lintian-overrides ]
# old repo
jamulus source: orphaned-package-not-maintained-in-debian-infrastructure
`

This is not a false positive -- an orphaned package's packaging repo is
supposed to be moved to some place that's writeable by people other than
the previous maintainer.

Of course, there's no need to fix everything, especially not in a QA upload
where the only expectation is for the new version to be better than the old
one -- but hiding issues is no good.

The SoC might be shared with laptops/etc and thus expose devices that are
present but not fully functional.

The hardware block known as "power supply" it just one of possible sources
for the machine.  For example, Pine64 boards can be powered by:
 * "ac" (dumb USB micro-B)
 * battery
 * USB type A OTG (a _host_ not gadget interface)
 * (sort of) UART (insufficient power for stable operation)
and only the first two even have sensors that inform the kernel.

It's possible that your machine can indeed be powered via USB C, new laptops
usually can.  Which leads to fun like laptop that wants to be charged by a
phone -- and indeed negotiating it that way.

ACPI doesn't (usually?) know about USB devices; PMU and APM are stuff from
the distant past.

Could you perhaps provide:
cd /sys/class/power_supply && grep . */* 2>/dev/null|grep -v /uevent:


Thanks for your report -- with all those new USB-C power delivery schemes
actually being used by machines in the wild, it's time to recognize them,
instead of relying on the old assumption that "USB power supply" means
incoming power.

As this is a change in upstream code, I've submitted a PR there:
https://github.com/slicer69/sysvinit/pull/15

Do you intend to drop the build-essentiality of libcrypt-dev shortly?  If
not, I'd just let the PR go through the normal flow towards next upstream
release then the package.

An expedited upload is of course an option, but I suspect you're not in
a hurry.

sysvinit (3.05-7) unstable; urgency=medium
  * Drop libcrypt-dev from B-Depends, we don't ship sulogin since Stretch
which was what we needed the library for.

The sulogin executable is no longer needed (it's built by util-linux
nowadays), and its source inside src:sysvinit is dormant.  I've just
re-checked: the package builds and cross-builds successfully.

Is there a reason for this B-Dependency that I missed?

Not for me, but your mention of a "1.10 version" sounds interesting.
Apparently there's such a version in upstream git, but not yet tagged.

I think, let's wait a bit to see whether the version is not yet
finalized or it's a case of a missing tag.

And, to reduce required effort from my side, I'm assuming the crash that
happens for you but not me is fixed in 1.10, thus sparing me efforts to
reproduce it :)

On the other hand, the unread mails count is broken since the last
Thunderbird update, and that's the main point of birdtray for me.  Thus
I'm looking forward to the release, but as new commits continue to come,
I'm hurrying slowly.

Bug#398710: bell-style audible makes baby Pollito cry

[Adam Borowski]

Hi!
Big fat +1 to defaulting bell-style to either "none" or "visible".

As just discussed on #pipewire, emulating the bell on machines w/o a
hardware pc speaker is off by default because "most people want to
rip out the beeper".  And that's specifically because of bash & co
beeping whenever you press backspace or tab.

The bell is supposed to alert the user that something is wrong (or that
a long-running task on a remote server is done...), not to make a
racket during normal use.

Thus: for the love of father Dagon and mother Hydra, could you please
silence the bell by default?

/usr/share/readline/inputrc
# do not bell on tab-completion
# set bell-style none
# set bell-style visible
⬑ one of these

Bug#1023575: neo-cli: charset=runic includes pseudo-runes

[Adam Borowski]

Package: neo-cli
Version: 0.6.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi!
If you run neo with --charset=runic, besides of actual runes (ie, letters
that have been used in various historical periods), the program also uses
a bunch of symbols that had no real-life use (U+16F1..U+16F8):
 * Tolkien:
   * U+16F1 included in The Hobbit when Tolkien found no way to spell his
 name within Anglo-Saxon runes
   * U+16F2 and U+16F3 from a personal letter
 * Franks Casket:
   * U+16F4..U+16F8 (these at least come from 8th century) are weird
 variant letters not attested anywhere else, for reasons not
 known despite generations of research but conjectured to be unique
 numerologic rune magic.

But you probably care less about actual historical reasons.  A practical
one is that the rest of runes come from Unicode 3.0 (1999) while the
U+16F1..U+16F8 symbols were added only in Unicode 7.0 (2014) and thus
are missing from most fonts we ship.  This results in ugly replacement
symbols marring the display.

Also: eg. cyrillic uses actual letters only, not a medieval scribe's
doodles like "multiocular o" that was drawn in a single copy of a book
from 1429 -- yet got encoded in Unicode anyway.

It contains workarounds to several common problems.
In particular, if Valgrind aborted or crashed after

that fixing those problems will prevent Valgrind aborting or

Bug#1023527: mips64el: false positive 100% calls of memcheck; rseq in all tools

[Adam Borowski]

Package: valgrind
Version: 1:3.19.0-1
Severity: normal

Hi!
Valgrind reports a false positive during glibc initialization on mips64el:

Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)

   by 0x401E3D0: _dl_start_final (rtld.c:497)
   by 0x401E684: _dl_start (rtld.c:586)

This makes all packages that run valgrind during their testsuite fail if
they consider this error to be fatal.

Also, all tools report the following warning:

WARNING: unhandled mips64-linux syscall: 5327
You may be able to write your own handler.
Read the file README_MISSING_SYSCALL_OR_IOCTL.
Nevertheless we consider this a bug.  Please report
it at http://valgrind.org/support/bug_reports.html.

The syscall in question is rseq, added in 2018.  For a package to fail
it'd need to do so on unexpected stderr -- but that's the default for
some test engines.

* Package name: zst
  Version : not released yet
  Upstream Author : yours truly
* URL : https://github.com/kilobyte/zst
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : CLI tool for zstd (and other) compression

 This is an alternate tool for zstd compression, one that takes a lot
 less space than the official one.  It also behaves in a way consistent
 with other Unix compressors: the level goes only up to 9, the original
 copy of the file is not kept, etc.
 .
 The executable can also replace gzip xz bzip2.


A bunch of features are not yet ready, but I'm filing this ITP now that
the core functionality is already working but there's still time for
design changes.  Stuff that's aimed for important/Essential needs to
be discussed well...

Existing compressors:
  | tool | lib
--+--+-
gzip  | Ess  | Ess
bzip2 | std  | Ess (but it'd be nice to remove it)
xz| std  | Ess
zstd  | opt  | Ess
lz4   | opt  | libsystemd0 but not libelogind0

Is there a reason you picked that specific name?  Unlike some other
languages, there's no convention to name C++ packages after their
internal namespace, and this particular one clashes with Haskell,
confusing both machines and humans.
