Bug#943986: wrong shared linkage position of mv's library dependency
Package: coreutils Version: 8.30-3 Severity: serious cp and mv have a runtime linkage to libacl and libattr which are installed in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/. This means that a single-user booted system without mounted /usr, is not able to cp or mv files! Either the dependancy should be dropped, or the libacl and libattr shared libraries should be moved into /lib.

Package: wnpp Severity: normal I intend to orphan the nosql package. The package description is: NoSQL is a fast, portable, relational database management system without arbitrary limits, (other than memory and processor speed) that runs under, and interacts with, the UNIX Operating System. . It uses the Operator/Stream DBMS paradigm described in Unix Review, March, 1991, page 24, entitled A 4GL Language. There are a number of operators that each perform a unique function on the data. The stream is supplied by the UNIX Input/Output redirection mechanism. Therefore each operator processes some data and then passes it along to the next operator via the UNIX pipe function. This is very efficient as UNIX pipes are implemented in memory. NoSQL is compliant with the Relational Model. . *NOTE*: This is a new, re-designed, more performant upstream release which is no longer command-line compatible with NoSQL V2 _and_ V3. . The commands are in /usr/lib/nosql in order to not clutter up /usr/bin. . NOTE about script compatibility: review the script options and script names when upgrading. .

This is *very* strange as these files should NOT have been included into
updmap.cnf at all. Do you have
/var/lib/tex-common/fontmap-cfg/tetex-{base,extra}.list
Yes. The dump before the upgrade has them:

If not, then a simple update-updmap and updmap-sys (as root) should
work.
The bug severity is important, since this is
a) tedious
b) non-obvious for a Non-LaTeX expert.
Since nobody else has reported this bug till now I wouldn't have used
this importance, but so let it be.
Ok. If I am the only one, you can lower it to normal.
Thanks for your fast reply,

Hi, Thank you for the bug report and patch. On Tue, Oct 04, 2005 at 01:38:30PM +0200, Thomas Huriaux wrote: Here is an explanation of what the patch does: * de.po: apply de.po.diff set the charset to utf-8 instead of utf8 to avoid warnings Ok. * de.po.diff: file removed (I don't know why this file has been included) A mistake. I should have deleted it. * es.po, fi.po, fr.po: these files are encoded in iso-8859-15, but utf-8 is specified. Please do not edit the files sent by the translators You're right. This is a mistake. BTW: Should all .po files be encoded in utf-8 or not? * LINGUAS: file removed (a wildcard in a Makefile is much more useful) Ok. * Makefile.in.in: this file was very very complicated, using old stuffs such as Suffix Rules, and not working (the rpncalc.pot was out of date and couldn't be regenerated properly). I have cleaned everything, but maybe to much. I don't want to take the time to explain everything, but if you want more details, do not hesitate to ask me. If I have removed too much, please tell me and I will have a look at it. * mkinstalldirs, remove-potcdate.sin, stamp-po files removed (no longer used by the Makefile) These files are a generated via autoconf et. al.. Maybe I should get rid of the autoconf stuff. Once everything is done, rpncalc.pot will have 28 strings instead of 15 strings, and therefore all translations will be out of date. I have to look into this. Sounds scary. :) I hope it helps. Sure. Thank you, David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#315664: sysvbanner: two versions of banner in different places
On Fri, Jun 24, 2005 at 04:19:33PM +0200, Marc Glisse wrote: Package: sysvbanner Version: 1.0-12 Severity: wishlist bsdmainutils: /usr/games/banner sysvbanner: /usr/bin/banner and both have kind of the same purpose. It would be nice (I think) if both packages agreed on where this program should be and then used alternatives to decide which one to use by default. Putting the 2 versions in different directories seems a strange policy. This is historical. /usr/bin/banner prints a horizontal banner: $banner Hello # # # # ## # # # # # # # ## ### # # # ## # # # # # ## # # # # # ## # # ## ## ## used for (more or less) important script output. /usr/games/banner prints a vertical output for print-out on old line printers in order to hang on the wall. This is IMO not inter-changeable. HTH, David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#330244: O: spell -- GNU Spell, a clone of Unix `spell'
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I intend to orphan the spell package. The package description is: GNU Spell is a spell checking program which prints each misspelled word on a line of its own. It is designed as a clone of the standard Unix `spell' program, and implemented as a wrapper for Ispell. Spell accepts as its arguments a list of files to read from. Within that list, the magical file name `-' causes Spell to read from standard input. In addition, when called with no file name arguments, Spell assumes that it should process standard input. Reason: Code needs to be adapted/rewritten for the bugs reported and I have not enough time to do it.

I think it's a problem with the C double precision. Yes. So, it could be a good idea, if the fix is not easy to do, to report this error to the user by an Overflow message for example. Yes. I should port the code from using doubles to arbitrary exact precision. I know that, but haven't had the time to implement it. Thanks, David

Bug#307654: doesn't handle UTF-8

I assume it is a PS printer, so enscript is used for text handling. a2ps is unfortunately not Unicode-ready either (Bug #180236) Sorry, when I filed the bug I was fairly busy so I didn't investigate how the text is printed exactly. I assumed it might make us of a program, such as enscript. This is correct. I'll see what the status of UTF-8 in enscript is. It does not supprt it (Bug 229595: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=229595) I'm aware that a2ps doesn't support it, and I think the program isn't maintained anymore, or at least not very actively. This is what I had in mind too, but I haven't verified it. What I found out in the meantime is that there's a program called uniprint which handles it. Interesting. This is useful information. I have not heard about it. I also have some information from Markus Kuhn (UTF-8 Linux guru) about other tools which supports unicode printing and I'll forward this info later.

Bug#307654: doesn't handle UTF-8
On Wed, May 04, 2005 at 02:50:22PM +0100, Martin Michlmayr wrote: Package: magicfilter Version: 1.2-58 Severity: normal It seems that magicfilter doesn't deal with files which are encoded in UTF-8. Yes. Magicfilter at the moment doesn't handle text encodings universally. It is in the printer files. When I print a simple file consisting of the text test ä, the ä is printed as two characters; i.e. it seems that magicfilter assumes the file is Latin-1 and interprets the 2-byte string as two characters instead of one. Supporting UTF-8 files which are basically Latin-1 should be easy because you could simply convert them with iconv, but it would be nice if magicfilter had full UTF-8 support for text files, so signs such as ??? (bullet) and ??? (heart) would be printed correctly. Yes, this would be nice. In my opinion this should be done by the text output printing program, in this case enscript, and not by magicfilter itself. You could of course add an iconv step in between, but this would limit the conversion from say UTF8 to Latin1. Do you think that's possible? FWIW, I'm using ljet4m-filter but this shouldn't make any difference. It does. I assume it is a PS printer, so enscript is used for text handling. a2ps is unfortunately not Unicode-ready either (Bug #180236) David
