After update, the demon should be restarted.
Currenly hddtemp is stopped before the upgrade and restarted just after. 
Wasn't it the case for you? Have you seen any error?
A copy and paste of the upgrade would be nice.

Package: libusb-0.1-4
Version: 2:0.1.10a-6
Severity: important
After upgrading to the most recent version of libusb, gphoto2 fails
(usually in the middle of downloading the third photo or so) with the
following errors:
gp_port_read: Resource temporarily unavailable
*** Error ***
PTP I/O error
*** Error (-1: 'Unspecified error') ***
I noticed this problem on another machine, so just to be sure, I did a
full download from my camera, then upgraded libusb, then tried the
download again and saw the error.
Could you please tell me which gphoto2 backend are you using?
It would also be nice to run gphoto2 with the environement variable 
USB_DEBUG set to 255 and to send me the log.

BTW, any message in /var/log/messages?

You're totally right, I have looked to quickly, sorry. Actually, I was 
biased by the fact the upstream announce with this new version that the 
compatibility has been restored, which is false.

The bad thing is that this bug is more serious than I thought initially. 
There is no need to warn the user to use a different i2c.h, as the 
structure i2c_adapter *shall* be identical in both files.

I am currently working with the upstream on a patch. I already have one, 
but as I am not familiar with i2c core code and semaphores, I prefer to 
discuss it before applying it to the Debian package.

For the RM team reading this mail (if you are reading it), I think it 
will be possible to close this bug in 1 to 3 days (+ 2 days to propagate 
to testing), as the upstream is usally very reactive, and also present 
on IRC during the evening (CET time).

Hi Aurelien
Hi!
Did the new libusb break ABI ?  I can rebuild libgphoto2 against the
new version but this won't fix other packages using libusb.
No, the ABI is still the same. What has changed is the way to 
communicate with the kernel, the newer version allow bigger packets and 
increased transfer rate.

What is your take on this ?
I don't know what is the problem. libusb 0.1.9 is known to have problem 
with big transfers, but libusb 0.1.10 fixed the problem.

Has somebody reported the same problem with an other backend?
Milan, could you please run USBDEBUG=255 gphoto2 put_your_args_here, and 
send me the result?

Also, doing an strace (just run strace gphoto2 put_your_args_here,)

Yes you can for both. I'll upload a new version to fix that.

Package: lm-sensors
Version: 1:2.9.0-12
Severity: wishlist
the buggy BIOS of my motherboard sets the cpu fan to full speed on
power-on, but leaves it alone on reboot.
I must use fancontrol to avoid getting mad for the noise.  but when I
reboot (e.g. to boot windows) fancontrol gets killed and restores fan
to full speed.
This is necessary to restore the speed of the fan, because there is too 
much risk of burning your CPU if you leave the fan speed low and 
uncontroled, which is the case when fancontrol is killed.

If you need to control your fan speed under Windows, use a software 
under Windows to do that.

I wish there was a way to disable that behaviour.
There is a way, but it won't be supported by Debian and by the upstream 
for the reason explained above, even as an option. Please also note that 
your request is very specific, so I suggest you either to use a Windows 
software to control the fan speed, or to modify fancontrol by yourself.

fancontrol do that job, when it is running. It don't has to do its job 
when it is not running!

the only ways I found are:
1. send fancontrol SIGKILL manually.
2. hand-edit fancontrol. (which I did: but my changes will be overwritten
   at next package upgrade.)
To stop your fan, you can also do an:
echo 0  /sys/bus/i2c/device/.../.../pwmX
what about a non documented, deeply buried option to restore fans to a
configurable percentage of full speed?
If you want such a function you can write you on script, but again this 
is not the job of fancontrol.

After some testing, I determined that the combination of usbutils (0.70-1)

On further inspection, the entire Configuration Descriptor is zero/empty on
arm. Retitled the bug to better summarize the problem. Since libusb is
pretty much useless on arm as a result, I'm adjusting the severity also.
Thanks for your very good work, I think I have identified the problem:
When an USB device is plugged, the kernel parses all the descriptors of 
the device, and make them available in /proc/bus/usb/xxx/xxx. When 
parsing all the USB devices, libusb first parses this file in /proc and 
then, if some information are missing, is asking the device directly.
The problem is that in some cases with partial information (ie between 
no information and full information), libusb doesn't ask the device.

It is not working on your arm computer because the kernel, for an 
unknown reason, returns partial descriptor.

To answer Steve, the problem it's also in Sarge as this part hasn't 
changed since version 0.1.7 (sarge has 0.1.8 and sid 0.1.9).

To confirm all what I said, I have produced a test version, which is 
available on http://temp.aurel32.net/libusb . Could you please test it?
Note that the -dev package for arm doesn't include the doc as jade was 
not available on the host where I built libusb. Anyway that should not 
be a problem for the test.

Thanks,
Aurelien

Good that it work. I have just uploaded a new version with the patch. In 
case you need it, please find it below. It should apply to CVS, version 
0.1.9 and version 0.1.8 (with maybe a few lines offset). I have also 
send it to the upstream author.

Steve, is it possible to upload a fixed version directly to Sarge? The 
current version in Sid is affected by another RC bug (#294368), and thus 
this fix can't propagate to Sarge until #294368 is fixed. I hope it will 
be fixed soon, it is in the first position of my TODO list.

Hi,
 Sorry for the obvious report, but mozilla-locale-fr is uninstallable in

I am tagging the package sid, as mozilla-locale-fr is still installable 
in sid and will still be installable in sarge (mozilla won't migrate to 
sarge if some packages become uninstallable in sarge).

 This is because this package depends of a specific version of Mozilla.
 Please request/make the necessary changes in your build system so that
 it doesn't prevent users from updating their mozilla-browser package.
I can't. The French translation is not available for this version, I 
can't create it!

 Galeon suffers of the very same problem, and it is not acceptable to
 have packages lagging behind mozilla versions since this causes
 breakage when users need to hold packages (such as the reopening of
 #288875).
I agree but I don't have a magic solution for that. If you have one,
