If the latter, then this is behavioural bug of the google web page. Thanks for the response. That's a very reasonable misunderstanding - Google has added completion to its search box since this bug was filed two years ago, and is therefore no longer a good way to reproduce the bug. *** I can still reproduce the bug in a plain HTML text input box under 3.0.15.

Unhighlight completion menu selection when the mouse leaves the menu rectangle 2. Unhighlight completion menu selection when user starts typing (e.g. delete key, as in above report) 3. Don't include completions which exactly match the text of the box 4. Don't list completions when the insertion point is not at the end of the text.

Bug#522930: running mktexlsr for each upgraded package seems unnecessary
Package: texlive Version: 2007.dfsg.2-2 Severity: minor Running 'mktexlsr' on my 1700MHz laptop takes over 1 minute, and causes the machine to become sluggy. Yet for some reason it is invoked after each texlive package I upgrade. Example: Setting up texlive-lang-hungarian (2007.dfsg.4-1) ... Running mktexlsr. This may take some time... done. Building format(s) --byhyphen /var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat. This may take some time... done. Setting up texlive-pstricks (2007.dfsg.17-1) ... Running mktexlsr. This may take some time... etc. 'ps' shows that the same command is being invoked each time: /usr/bin/mktexlsr /usr/share/texmf /var/lib/texmf /usr/share/texmf-texlive So presumably 'mktexlsr' could just be run once at the end of the upgrade, with the same effect. Instead, it is run after each package. I should note that the upgrade can't be done overnight, or during a time when I am not using my computer, because sometimes it asks questions about configuration files which require my attention. Thus, by having 'texlive' installed, I have inadvertently created a situation where upgrading Debian requires hours of my attention. This would not be a problem if 'mktexlsr' were only run once, at the end of the upgrade. -- Package-specific info: If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries (latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures! If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem), you can probably minimize it further.

Bug#522670: 'compile' command contains unconfigurable 1 second delay when killing existing process
Package: xemacs21-basesupport Version: 2007.04.27-1 Severity: minor In the 'compile-internal' function, on line 880 of 'compile.el' (/usr/share/xemacs21/xemacs-packages/lisp/xemacs-base/compile.el.gz) there is a hard-coded 1-second delay which is used if an existing compilation process needs to be interrupted: (condition-case () (progn (interrupt-process comp-proc) (sit-for 1) (delete-process comp-proc)) Perhaps this delay was not noticeable back when Emacs was young and computers were slow. But now when I compile things such as latex documents, it is typical for the compilation to take less than 1 second, perhaps more like 0.1 seconds. So when a compilation is active (say, because it has opened the output in 'xpdf'), and I recompile, the old command has to be killed and most of the time spent recompiling is occupied by this 1 second delay. It becomes annoying. I wonder why the delay is not configurable, or why it exists in the first place. Can it be removed? I have tried removing it, and don't experience any problems. I also notice that 'sit-for' accepts fractions, so the '(sit-for 1)' call could be replaced by something like '(sit-for 0.05)'. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xemacs21-basesupport depends on: ii perl 5.10.0-19 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction xemacs21-basesupport recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#497377: not clear how to have scripts run on suspend
Hi Bart, Thanks for you detailed response. I have started using /etc/acpi/sleep.sh and that works. I have come up with some changes to the documentation based on your response, I hope it may be of some help. I have attached a file which one might place in /etc/acpi/README (I don't know of any other README files under /etc/, but it seems sensible, doesn't it? Otherwise with some modifications it could go into /usr/share/doc/acpi-support/README.Debian). I have also attached a modified version of /etc/default/acpi-support, along with a patch from the current version on my system. Best wishes, Frederik On Thu, Sep 04, 2008 at 03:58:46PM +0200, Bart Samwel wrote: Hi Frederik, Let me see if I can answer your questions. Frederik Eaton wrote: I am sorry to be trouble, there is probably an easy solution but I couldn't find it after some time, so I am submitting this as a documentation bug, hopefully the situation can be improved for future users even if my question is addressed. I just want to turn of my network interfaces on suspend (maybe this happens automatically with some desktop environment or using /etc/network/interfaces but I don't use those), so I looked around and found /etc/acpi/suspend.d/ and put a script in there. It doesn't seem to run on suspend, which I do with acpitool -s A... acpitool is a low-level tool which runs *nothing* on suspend. It is not really intended for end user usage, because it doesn't integrate with the system at all. So that explains it. If you want to use the suspend method as specified in /etc/default/acpi-support, you need to run /etc/acpi/sleep.sh. The trouble here is that suspend on Linux is an absolute mess. There is confusion between layers: acpitool is a low-level hardware tool while acpi-support and pm-utils both deliver a high-level suspend system integrated with the system. There is no central place to put scripts (acpi-support and pm-utils both have their own systems for this, and there are even more suspend systems!). The only way to fix this is for the various authors to get together and make arrangements. I haven't had much success cooperating with the pm-utils folks in the past, and the acpi-support upstream is not too cooperative either. All in all, I've given up. I've deprecated the acpi-support suspend system in favor of the pm-utils one so that there's at least *some* semblance of a single suspend system (especially since gnome-power-manager forces the use of pm-utils and we like to keep behaviour consistent with that). Anyway, I might be able to add some docs, but it's going to remain a mess whatever I do... Cheers, Bart This directory contains configuration files that define various power-related events and control how a laptop is suspended and resumed. The actions defined in /etc/acpi/suspend.d/ and /etc/acpi/resume.d/ are ignored by default, and are deprecated. However, they can be enabled by editing /etc/defaults/acpi-support. To have a custom script executed on suspend, it is recommended to use pm-utils instead (/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/). Note that acpi-support is bypassed by 'acpitool -s'; to enable the suspend actions defined through acpi-support, one must put a laptop to sleep with '/etc/acpi/sleep.sh'. # # Configuration file for the acpi-support package # # # The acpi-support package is intended as glue to make special functions of # laptops work. Specifically, it translates special function keys for some # laptop models into actions or generic function key presses. # # # Suspend/hibernate method # # # When gnome-power-manager or klaptopdaemon are running, acpi-support will # translate the suspend and hibernate keys of laptops into special suspend # and hibernate keys that these daemons handle. # # Only in situations where there is no gnome-power-manager or klaptopdaemon # running, acpi-support needs to perform suspend/hibernate in some other way. # There are several options for this. The options are: # # dbus-pm: #Perform suspend and hibernate actions via a DBUS request to the power #management daemon. This works for power management daemons that we don't #know of.

Bug#497377: not clear how to have scripts run on suspend
Package: acpi-support Version: 0.109-6 Severity: normal I am sorry to be trouble, there is probably an easy solution but I couldn't find it after some time, so I am submitting this as a documentation bug, hopefully the situation can be improved for future users even if my question is addressed. I just want to turn of my network interfaces on suspend (maybe this happens automatically with some desktop environment or using /etc/network/interfaces but I don't use those), so I looked around and found /etc/acpi/suspend.d/ and put a script in there. It doesn't seem to run on suspend, which I do with acpitool -s A README in that directory explaining the use of the directory would help, maybe? Then I found /etc/default/acpi-support which has a long comment before the SUSPEND_METHODS line saying something about how /etc/acpi/suspend.d is deprecated but also saying I can enable it by putting acpi-support in SUSPEND_METHODS. The comment didn't say what the non-deprecated solution was (e.g. pm-utils is supposedly non-deprecated, but where do I put my scripts to have them run by pm-utils?). I tried putting my script in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/, but no luck. Then I tried adding acpi-support to SUSPEND_METHODS in /etc/default/acpi-support, with the script back in /etc/acpi/suspend.d, still no luck. Note that /etc/default/acpi-support doesn't explain what services to restart after modifying the file, which would be useful, but I tried /etc/init.d/acpid restart /etc/init.d/acpi-support restart and repeated the experiment with no luck. Also, I wasn't able to find useful information in the ACPI HOWTO http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/ACPI-HOWTO I hope that I am not overlooking something obvious. It is strange to have a huge directory of scripts in /etc/ which don't seem to be getting executed by anything...

Bug#492124: apparently no way to disable blinking cursor
Severity: normal No. It's a wish - wishlist. If the bug makes the program unusable to some group of people, then perhaps it should be 4 important a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package, without rendering it completely unusable to everyone. ? Many people are aggravated by having to look at a blinking cursor when they are editing a document - one web page compares it to Chinese water torture. I have disabled the blinking cursor in Gnome and OMG. Torture is someting else. The word torture, indeed, conjures up an image of something more painful than annoying. That's why I prepended the words Chinese water. According to Wikipedia, Chinese water torture was supposed to drive its victim insane with the stress of water dripping on a part of the forehead for a very long time. It doesn't sound OMG to me. For some of those who suffer from autism or epilepsy or ADHD, and can't just ignore the blinking, it must be an apt comparison. I am well aware that most people aren't bothered by it. will be practically unusable to me and to a minority of others. This is an accessibility issue, which should be pretty easy to fix. This is already told to the OOo authors in issue 6071 for 6 years now, but as it's assigned to requirements it can only take a few years more if at all until this is done. Hmm. Discussion with upstream says me that OOo should also honour the settings you did in Gnome already. Did you install openoffice.org-gtk? Without it you don't have GTkified UI and no GTK integration. Oh, thanks for letting me know. But ... I've tried installing openoffice.org-gtk-gnome, openoffice.org-gnome, and openoffice.org-gtk, and the problem persists. It doesn't look like openoffice.org is using gtk yet though. The menubar is shaded and the menus only have a black outline on the bottom and right sides. Do I need to restart something?

For It is OMG. Because it IS torture. And comparing that with a blinking cursor is insane. The comparison was between water dripping on forehead, and cursor blinking in eyes, as I imagine you understood. If you want to suggest a better way of phrasing it, feel free to do so, but I don't see what the big deal is. I don't believe any reasonable reader thinks that the source I am quoting is arguing that people are being forced to use these applications as a form of punishment, which is how you seem to be interpreting it. The comparison was to the sensation, not the context in which the sensation is administered. some of those who suffer from autism or epilepsy or ADHD, and can't just ignore the blinking, it must be an apt comparison. I am well aware that most people aren't bothered by it. Indeed, but... The problem is that you can't expect any app handling this itself. This would be insane. Hmm.

That makes me think that OOo didn't detect on startup that you are under GNOME. You *are* under GNOME (or Xfce which somehow is detected as GNOME), right? Nope, just gnome-settings-daemon so I can use gtk apps. Otherwise, you can try export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome before starting OOo. (or kde for KDE, where the same should work, according to upstream) Thanks, that works! Frederik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#478706: unintuitive interaction between -o page-ranges and -o number-up
Package: cupsys Version: 1.3.5-1 Severity: normal Hello, Several times when I have wanted to print some subset of the pages of a document, with -o page-ranges; but also 2-up to save paper, with -o number-up=2, I have found that cups does exactly the wrong thing. Rather than selecting the subset of the pages which I want to print, and then printing them 2-up, it seems to format the entire document 2-up, forming half as many pages, and then it uses the new page numbers of the 2-up pages to find the range I requested. Thus, lp -o page-ranges=71-133 foo.pdf prints pages 71-133 of foo.pdf, but lp -o number-up=2 -o page-ranges=71-133 foo.pdf prints pages 142-266 of foo.pdf. I think it would be good if the -o page-ranges were fixed so that it always referred to the pages of the *input* document, rather than to the pages of some intermediate filtering step which the user never sees.

OK, well I have pointed out a couple of discrepancies between the documentation and the comments in the default config file, maybe upstream is interested? I have a better system now, which is just a script I call from cron to display a message and turn on the fan when the system gets too hot. I made the bug report because I thought it was the right thing to do, but it sounds like neither of us is very invested in this bug any longer :) (I guess it would be bad if functionality is being advertised in the package which doesn't work, because then everybody has to fiddle with powersaved before giving up and writing their script like I did.

Bug#461119: dies with can't create mcop directory
Package: mpg321

Severity: important
I am currently unable to use mpg123, it dies with the error can't

using kde, which I never told it to do (I don't even use KDE). I think
I may have installed something (wireshark?) which uses KDE and caused
mpg321 to break. I've put some log information below. Thanks,

Dear Joe, Changing to 'alsa' allows me to play things with mpg321, but when another program is using the device, the error from mpg321 is still can't create mcop directory. That's a bit confusing, perhaps mpg321 should say something more helpful such as Device busy?

It seems that 'atd' is in a busy loop reading '/proc/loadavg',
apparently faster than the kernel can update it. This behaviour makes
'batch' quite inefficient. Am I doing something wrong?

Bug#444499: field completion / suggestion often gets in the way
Package: iceweasel Version: 2.0.0.6-1 Severity: normal Hello, I will give an example to illustrate my point. I have tried it out in safe mode. (1) I enter minimal entropy martingale measure in Google's search text box (2) When the results come up, I want change my search text to minimal martingale measure. I click just after the word entropy in the text box at the top of the results page, and the completion minimal entropy martingale measure appears appears in a menu below the box (even though that same string is also already in the box). (Actually, this happens only about 50% of the time, it may be necessary to try clicking at different parts of the word) Since I had to click on the search box to change the text, my cursor is right near the box. When I take my hand off the mouse to type, the cursor happens to move down a few pixels (this happens a lot when I use a trackpad, but also when I use my optical mouse), briefly crossing over the menu of completions. (3) This results in the single completion being highlighted. Inexplicably, it stays highlighted even when my mouse has moved off of it to below the bottom of the menu. Even more strangely, it stays highlighted when I start typing in the text box. (4) I hit delete a few times to delete the word entropy, but the completion minimal martingale martingale measure, the text of my original search, is still highlighted. (5) I hit enter. This doesn't result in a new search with the new contents of the search box, as I had hoped; but it results in the completion (a useless completion, no less, since it was the original text of the box) being selected, and the edit I just made disappearing, and the text minimal martingale martingale measure returning to the search box, and no search happening. So, completion as implemented in this program (is it possible to turn it off, by the way?) is basically incompatible with my mouse moving down a few pixels after I take my hand off of it. That seems rather demanding - the mouse is an analog device and the cursor can't be expected to stay 100% still all the time. In general, it seems like a good idea for a highlighted menu selection to become unhighlighted when the user starts typing, even in the case where it is still under the cursor (which it is not, in my example above), since typing generally indicates a lack of intent to click. Thank you in advance - I hope that this can be eventually fixed...

Hello, Actually, I am still experiencing the problem. I have upgraded to the latest version in Debian, I think.

Bug#438934: thermal documentation confusing; doesn't seem to perform as described
Package: powersaved Version: 0.14.0-7 Severity: normal I have been trying to understand this document: /usr/share/doc/powersaved/html/Thermal.html It seems out of date. For instance, it suggests ENABLE_THERMAL_MANAGEMENT=yes but in the comments in /etc/powersave/thermal, yes doesn't appear to be an option: # userspace: not supported yet # kernel: the values in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points are # overridden with the THERMAL_*_X values from the # current active scheme see powersave_manual.html # kernel_passive: like kernel, but only thermal zones with a valid # passive trip point defined by BIOS are modified. # off:the kernel's default trip_point values are still active Also, when I set THERMAL_PASSIVE_0 or any of the other temperatures to reasonable values, they are not reflected in the output of powersave -T, and when the system exceeds these temperatures the CPU is not throttled as I requested by setting either COOLING_POLICY=passive or COOLING_POLICY=active, and ALLOW_THROTTLING=yes. Also, what is the difference between COOLING_POLICY and COOLING_MODE? The latter is only mentioned once in Thermal.html. Similarly for THERMAL_HOT, what does that do? It is never explained, and only appears in one example: # grep THERMAL_HOT /usr/share/doc/powersaved/ /usr/share/doc/powersaved/html/Thermal.html: codeTHERMAL_HOT_0=90/codebr Here is some system information. You can see that even though the temperature has exceeded THERMAL_PASSIVE_0 and even THERMAL_HOT_0, the CPU is still running at its maximum speed. # powersave -T Thermal Device no. 0: Temperature: 55 Critical: 93 Passive: 90 # powersave -x Performance active AC_default_scheme Presentation Acousticbattery_default_scheme Powersave AdvancedPowersave # grep THERMAL /etc/powersave/scheme_performance # THERMAL_TRIP_POINTS AUTOMATICALLY CREATED - DO NOT EDIT THIS LINE # also see the ENABLE_THERMAL_MANAGEMENT variable in the thermal file THERMAL_CRITICAL_0=63 THERMAL_HOT_0=54 THERMAL_PASSIVE_0=45 # grep -i mhz /proc/cpuinfo cpu MHz : 1700.000 # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 170 # cat /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal temperatures: 55 45 30 50 32 -128 27 -128 Do the features described in the documentation for this package actually exist?

Bug#437324: audio / video open error should default to exit
Package: mplayer Version: 1.0rc1~svn19879.sarge Severity: normal For example, when I play an 'mp3' with mplayer, and there is a problem opening the sound device, then mplayer prints a warning and then Starting playback and then a bunch of realtime statistics like it's playing the song. The warning is obscured by about 20 other lines of output so I usually don't see it until I've gone and checked the volume, cables, etc. I can see how some people might occasionally want to play video without audio, or audio without video, but these uses are relatively infrequent and such users can simply pass '-nosound' or '-vo null' when they want to only play a single channel. In any case, when mplayer is playing a sound file and it is unable to open the sound device, then the most useful thing to do is not to present the appearance of working correctly, but to print an error message and exit with a non-zero code. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=, LC_CTYPE= (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages mplayer depends on: ii debconf 1.5.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libartsc01.5.6-2 aRts sound system C support librar ii libasound2 1.0.14a-1 ALSA library ii libatk1.0-0 1.18.0-2The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libaudio21.9-2 The Network Audio System (NAS).

Bug#431449: xmodmap needs to reduce inconvenience of 'please release the following keys' error
Package: xbase-clients Version: 1:7.2.ds2-2 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/xmodmap Via my window manager, I have bound a key to switch my keymap. It causes a script to be run which calls 'xmodmap'. However, I often get errors such as: xmodmap: please release the following keys within 4 seconds: Control_L (keysym 0xffe3, keycode 64) This is because I often start typing something after switching the keymap (after all, I only switch the keymap when I want to type), and for some reason X doesn't like having modifiers depressed when remapping them. If X could be fixed to not do this, it would be great. Otherwise, perhaps the timeout in xmodmap could be reduced - currently the minimum is 2 seconds, but it is doubled each time. I think much smaller values, and no doubling, would be preferable, since those delays affect the user directly. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=, LC_CTYPE= (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xbase-clients depends on: ii cpp 4:4.1.2-2 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfontconfig12.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.2.1-5FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libfs62:1.0.0-4 X11 Font Services library ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 6.5.2-5A free implementation of the OpenG ii libice6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpng12-01.2.15~beta5-2 PNG library - runtime ii libsm62:1.0.3-1 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 authorisation library ii libxaw7 1:1.0.3-3 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.8-2 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.1.12-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxi61:1.0.1-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxkbfile1 1:1.0.4-1 X11 keyboard file manipulation lib ii libxmu6 1:1.0.3-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxmuu1 1:1.0.3-1 X11 miscellaneous micro-utility li ii libxrandr22:1.2.1-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxss1 1:1.1.2-1 X11 Screen Saver extension library ii libxt61:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii libxtrap6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 event trapping extension libra ii libxtst6 1:1.0.1-5 X11 Testing -- Resource extension ii libxv11:1.0.3-1 X11 Video extension library ii libxxf86dga1 2:1.0.1-2 X11 Direct Graphics Access extensi ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.0.1-2 X11 XFree86 video mode extension l ii x11-common1:7.2-3X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc ii zlib1g1:1.2.3-15 compression library - runtime xbase-clients recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#393847: also annoyed by 14755 sequence
Package: rxvt-unicode Version: 7.9-2 Followup-For: Bug #393847 I was going to submit a bug saying that the default behaviour of urxvt should not be to flash a large yellow rectangle on the screen every time the user happens to press Ctrl and Shift at the same time (which is very frequently, for me). However, the existing bug report appears to suggest that it is impossible to turn this behaviour off except by a compile-time flag, thus it is much worse than merely being the default. This seems crazy to me, it is certainly in my opinion the biggest point against urxvt. I find the yellow rectangle very jarring. If it can be disabled then I will be very grateful.

Hi Ian, Here's the output of your suggested commands and some other commands. I tried removing and then purging the ghc6 package to try to get rid of any extraneous state, and then reinstalling. Still, no /usr/bin/ghc. Tried dpkg-reconfigure as well. When is /usr/bin/ghc supposed to be created? Your suggestion 'update-alternatives --auto ghc' does work, however.

Bug#417204: db4.5_load manual page should recommend sorting the input
Package: libdb4.5 Version: 4.5.20-1 Severity: minor I find that when I sort the input (by key, of course) to db4.5_load, it runs about 200 times faster. If the time to do the sorting is included, then the speed-up is closer to 100, but it is still enough of a speed-up that I think the manual page should recommend that users try sorting their input. Also, the resulting database file is about 1/3 smaller. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages libdb4.5 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries libdb4.5 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#417214: another db4.5_load man page typo, regarding escape sequences
Package: libdb4.5 Version: 4.5.20-1 Severity: normal The manual page says: A simple escape mechanism, where newline and backslash ( charac- ters are special, is applied to the text input. Newline charac- ters are interpreted as record separators. Backslash characters in the text will be interpreted in one of two ways: If the back- slash character precedes another backslash character, the pair will be interpreted as a literal backslash. If the backslash character precedes any other character, the two characters fol- lowing the backslash will be interpreted as a hexadecimal speci- fication of a single character; for example, a is a newline character in the ASCII character set. I think the first line should be \ not (. Also, on the second to last line, if I understand it correctly, a should read \0a.

Bug#416993: expansion substitution of % doesn't seem to work
Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.2-25
Severity: normal
Here is an example of the problem. I am trying to append something to
every element of an array.
$ A=(b c)
Prepending is straightforward, I do a substitution matching the #
pattern for matching the start of a string:
$ echo ${A//#/x}
xb xc
$ echo ${A/#/x}
xb xc
$ echo ${(S)A/#/x}
xb xc
However, when I use % to match the end of a string, it only works
for appending text in the third kind of substitution (substitute
shortest match).
$ echo ${A//%/x} # BAD
b c
$ echo ${A/%/x} # BAD
b c
$ echo ${(S)A/%/x} # OK
bx cx
This seems to contradict the documentation.
Thank you.

Bug#415584: missing configuration file ignored
Package: Xorg
Version: 1:7.1.0-11
Severity: normal
Hello,
The current behaviour of Xorg seems to be to ignore the '-config'
option, after printing an error, when the specified file is not found.
This is very confusing, as the error is easily missed. I don't see any
reason for the X server to continue when the user specifies a
configuration file and that file is absent - it should exit with a
non-zero exit code.
Also, as shown below, it seems that relative file paths are not
supported - this is also very confusing to new users.
Thanks,
Frederik

Bug#409176: msn connection errors are reported only after long delays
Package: gaim Version: 1:2.0.0+beta5-9 Severity: normal Here is an excerpt from my log file: (12:10:46 PM) [EMAIL PROTECTED]: how odd ... (12:15:46 PM) Sinead: Message could not be sent because a connection error occurred: (12:15:46 PM) Sinead: how odd So there is 5 minutes between when I try to send the message, and when I get an error report back. Now, I can say a lot in 5 minutes. Therefore, having such a long delay is very inconvenient. Really, if it is not possible to send a message after 15 seconds then I would prefer for gaim to give up and tell me - after all, a conversation with 15-second delays probably isn't going to be worth having anyway. Then I can try to switch to another protocol, restart gaim, etc. Having to spend 5 minutes guessing whether something has gone wrong again with MSN, or whether the other person in the conversation just isn't responding, is much too frustrating.

Yes, you can choose one of them which provides the skkserv feature. How are users to know that it is obsolete? Maybe there is no standard way, not only skkserv... My quick hack for Debian unstable is - check timestamp of /usr/share/doc/* - check old packages with downloading http://packages.debian.org/PACKAGE - if unstable is not match, it is obsolete. To use Debian stable upgrading from old-stable, non-upgraded packages should be checked whether the packages are in stable or not. OK. Perhaps the package description should mention that it is obsolete? I don't know anything about these software packages, I was only trying to set up Emacs so that I can type in Japanese, which seemed to be much less difficult several years ago. To input Japanese characters with SKK on Emacs, `apt-get install emacs21 ddskk dbskkd-cdb' and see `/usr/share/doc/ddskk/README.Debian' to setup and tutorial. Thanks, that works for me! As an aside, I suppose that Emacs still doesn't do Unicode? I have configured my terminal to use Unicode, so it would be very nice to be able to use SKK to enter Japanese text while running Emacs in the terminal, rather than directly under X11.

Bug#406701: fails on example file CJKutf8.tex
Hi Danai, If updmap.cfg does contain these lines, then something has gone wrong with updmap-sys. Please run updmap-sys again as root, and see for *any* output relating to wadalab. Also, none of the output of updmap-sys may refer to files in your own /root/.texmf(-var)/ directory or to /usr/local/share/. They should all point to configuration files inside /usr/share/texmf(-tetex)/. There are also /usr/share/texmf-texlive lines, as well as /etc/texmf/map/dvips/hlatex/uhc-base.map. I've attached the output so there is no confusion. Only one line refers to wadalab: updmap-sys: using map file `/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/wadalab/wadalab.map' All looks fine; I've never considered mixing teTeX and TeXlive, but apparently it works on your computer. ;) OK, I just installed a bunch of packages that seemed like they might be relevant... Also rename /home/frederik/.texmf-var/ to /home/frederik/.texmf-var2 . If there are any leftovers from previous attempts to build PK fonts, then dvips will prefer these dysfunctional fonts rather than use the Type1 fonts. The ratio behind this is to ascertain that we're dealing solely with files from the Debian package, and not local files. That solves the problem! $ dvips JIS.dvi This is dvips(k) 5.95a Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2007.01.13:1936' - JIS.ps tex.protexps.pro. cmbx12.pfbdmjkb.pfbdmjkf.pfbdmjhira.pfb dmjkj.pfbdmjka.pfbdmjkg.pfbdmjkd.pfbdmjkl.pfbdmjki.pfbdmjkk.pfb 1 dmjke.pfbdmjsy.pfbdmjkata.pfbcmr12.pfb[1] When I move the directory back, then the error returns. OK. Now remove the old and dysfunctional PK fonts: rm -rf ~/.texmf-var/fonts/pk/ljfour/wadalab Or better yet, remove ~/.texmf-var/ completely to be sure that older remnants and your locally created updmap files are removed as well. If you choose this option, then fonts like cm, ec, etc. will be recompiled next time you need them with xdvi, dvips, etc. Done. I'm now curious what the moral should be - did I do something wrong at some point? I was trying to use 'ucs.sty' earlier, and I put a bunch of files from that package in texmf/tex/ so they would be in my path, was that what caused the problem? I'll attach a listing of the contents of those directories if that helps. No, this is a problem that few people know of, so don't worry. It's got nothing to do with UCS. Tip though: don't mix UCS with CJK; they don't like each other too well. And with CJKutf8 you don't need UCS anymore. Cfr. several emails in the CJK archives (see below). OK. The reason is that TeX tried to look for Type1 fonts, but didn't find them so it started to look for PK fonts. Since they have never been created before, MakeTeXPK started to build them. Of course, it can't and the non-working PK files just sit in your ~/.texmf-var/. When kpathsea looks again for CJK fonts, it will use the PK fonts in your local TEXMF directory thining that they have been correctly converted. Hence your problem. I will clarify this in the README.Debian documentation, after which I think I can close this bug. I will upload a new version of the Debian CJK package in February. OK. Doesn't this sound like a bug in MakeTeXPK? It seems like the fonts should be built in a temporary location, and only moved to their final destinations if the build was successful. [Some extra information; I just can't stop writing.] Other TeX fonts like Computer Modern, EC, etc. will create PK fonts from other font formats. This was also the old way of CJK fonts using ttf2tfm: the thus created TFM files would guide MakeTeXPK to create PK fonts. There are three reasons why this isn't the best option, and why I chose Type1 for CJK (the modern way, also preferred upstream). The first is quality: PK files are bitmap fonts, and if you print on a higher quality printer, results are a bit blocky, making CJK glyphs more difficult to read. The second is time. For every font table (which consists of max. 255 glyphs each) you need to create a PK font. This is only created ad hoc when TeX needs it, e.g. when viewing it with xdvi or using dvips. Not only that, but it also needs to create PK fonts for each resolution: 720dpi, 1440dpi, and so on. So if you change from 10pt to 12pt or if you enlarge your view in xdvi, the whole PK creation process begins all over again. Creating a set of subfonts with ttf2tfm is done in seconds at the beginning, but after a while you'll get irritated by the MakeTeXPK process. The third is that such PK fonts are now always saved in your local TEXMF directory in ~/.texmf-var/, even if you are root or if you have set the permissions in /var/cache/fonts/ (this used to be an option in Debian teTeX2 and early versions of teTeX3). If you have a single-user computer then that's no problem, but imagine if you have a few users who use TeX, and they

Hello Danai, However, strangely enough, the problem with creating ps and pdf files remains. Hmm, try to purge and reinstall the Wadalab package. If that doesn't work, then it could be that there's still something left from the Cyberbit installation. Make sure that you really have removed the .map and .cfg files, as well as all .afm, .tfm and .pfb font files in /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/ and c70song.fd. Then run texhash, update-updmap and updmap-sys again. If it still doesn't work, then there is indeed a bug in latex-cjk. I've got one theory, but I'm not confident that it would actually work: Remove or move away the Cyberbit Type1 and TFM fonts and the .map file (basically undoing the installation from README.Debian), and run texhash, update-updmap and updmap-sys as root. Now recompile the .tex file and view the DVI. Now run dvips or dvipdfmx. Please show me the error message if it fails. OK. I did all this; I'm attaching the output files from dvips and latex. From what I see, this means that dvips doesn't find the Type1 fonts from Wadalab and tries to make these fonts by itself (which is impossible, of course). Please purge and reinstall the Wadalab package and see what it gives. When everything works, dvips should create the PS output in a blink of an eye. I have now purged and reinstalled the Wadalab package, still no luck. Surely there are some commands which I could run to debug the situation? I have attached some strace output from dvips.

Bug#406696: closed by [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] (reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) (Re: Bug#406696: gedit asks to save even when document is empty)
I just thought it's an easy special case of comparing the current version and the original version of the file for equality. If the versions are equal, then why set the dirty bit? This bit is unset if for instance I type a character and then execute undo, but it remains set if I type a character and then delete it. If the document started out empty, and ends up empty, then as a human user I wonder why I'm being asked to save it. Same if it starts out with contents A, and ends up with contents A; but I think that the general case might be harder to implement (although still perhaps worthwhile). Perhaps I was unclear but I think your example, where the document starts out non-empty, and then becomes empty, should be excluded - i.e. asking to save in that case is quite reasonable since it has changed. It's true that for instance emacs behaves the same way. However, I don't think that all applications should have to change before one can change. However, I can understand if this is not a priority for you, and won't be offended if you close the bug.

Hi Danai, From what I gathered, xdvi works fine (it has found for example dmjhira.pfb), but dvips doesn't. It's not even trying, because it switches from searching for OVF right into searching for PK (packed bitmap fonts), and since they don't exist either, it will try to make the fonts all by itself. Please try this: dvips -P wadalab JIS.dvi This calls wadalab.map directly. That works! You are also using an older version of tetex-base and tetex-bin. If you could try to install tetex-bin (=3.0.22)? I think this might be the source of the problem. In fact, I am 95% sure. =D I've installed the latest version of tetex-bin, 3.0-29, and tetex-base, 3.0.dfsg.3-5. I might have to adjust the dependency of tetex-bin from (=3.0) to something much higher. So if you could also try to purge all the latex-cjk-* packages as well as upgrade tetex-bin to a version equal or higher than 3.0.22? Some big changes for udpmap have been introduced from 3.0.16 onwards. I've purged the latex-cjk-* and reinstalled, but no luck. Same problem with dvips. (unless I add -P wadalab) Thanks, Frederik -- http://ofb.net/~frederik/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please try this: dvips -P wadalab JIS.dvi This calls wadalab.map directly. That works! Ah, now we're getting somewhere. So the problem is that all the fonts are correctly installed, and so is the map file that brings all these individual Type1 subfonts together. The problem is that somehow the global configuration file for Type1 fonts is not properly configured. This involves the commands update-updmap and updmap-sys (also updmap, but that is only for TeX settings in your own TeX home directory). The Debian TeX managers have created a quite ingenious system to make life easier for TeX package maintainers: a tool that registers Type1 fonts centrally and automatically updates the configuration files for a bunch of applications, such as dvips. /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.wadalab should have the following single line: p +wadalab.map I'm about 99,9% sure that this is the case, otherwise dvips -P wouldn't work lest there was a miracle. /etc/texmf/updmap.d/10latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab.cfg should have the following lines: # 10latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab.cfg # You can change/add entries to this file and changes will be preserved # over upgrades, even if you have removed the main package prior # (not if you purged it).

Bug#406701: fails on example file CJKutf8.tex
Package: latex-cjk-common Version: 4.7.0+cvs20061019-2 Severity: normal I get an error when I try to compile CJKutf8.tex, JIS,tex, and also when I create a file according to the instructions in /usr/share/doc/latex-cjk-common/japanese/japanese.txt.gz (these are the only things I've tried). I've followed the instructions in /usr/share/doc/latex-cjk-common/README.Debian.gz for installing the Cyberbit fonts, but I think the error is not related to that. An example of the text of the error is below. The error is on a line with Korean text in this case. I would really like to be able to use this package! It seems like so much work has been put into it ... I hope that I am doing something wrong.

Bug#406701: fails on example file CJKutf8.tex
Hello Danai,
Thank you for your quick response.
I have tried installing latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab (I didn't know it
had to be installed) and removing everything but the Japanese from
CJKutf8.tex, and now a dvi is produced which has Japanese text in it.
The same for the JIS.tex from the latex-cjk-japanese package.
It is a bit confusing that the error which occurs when a font is not
installed is a parse error, Undefined control sequence. - I would
have thought that fonts would not affect actual LaTeX parsing.
There is a remaining problem, which is that I can't convert either of
the dvi files to ps or pdf successfully - all of the Japanese
characters are blank. Am I correct in imagining that the problem is
again one of fonts? If so, what should I install?
By the way, it might be nice to have a Debian package which depends on
everything necessary to get full functionality from latex-cjk. Hard
drives are big enough nowadays that I imagine many users won't mind
the extra space taken up by fonts for languages which they don't
intend to use. It is only a suggestion.
Many thanks,
Frederik

This explains it all. Korean in UTF-8 doesn't work yet.
Reason is that I need to iron out a few possible problems.
The fonts are provided by the HLaTeX package, but need to be converted
to Unicode, and not everything goes smoothly there.
I intend to solve this issue in March or April, when I hope to get
more time.
If you really really need Korean support in UTF-8 encoded files, I
could give you my own Makefile to create the fonts and install them in
/usr/local/share/texmf/.
If you don't need Korean support now, you can just comment these few
lines. All the rest should work, even without the Cyberbit fonts.
As long as you use the CJKutf8 package, you don't need Cyberbit at
all as long as you have other Unicode fonts for each script, id est
one for Traditional Chinese, one for Simplified Chinese, one for
Japanese, another for Russian, etc. These fonts should be defined in
.fd font definition files in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/CJK/UTF8/.
IOW, you can use CJKutf8 along with latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab in
order to get Latin scripts (=T1) and Japanese working together
nicely.
As far as JIS is concerned, only use [dnp]{JIS} and not {JIS}. The
reason here is that only DNP fonts are packaged on Debian (these are
the beautiful Type1 Wadalab fonts). If you would just use {JIS}, CJK
will try to find ugly HBF bitmap fonts, for which I haven't had the
time yet to package (and for me it's got a lower priority ATM).
So if you could try the JIS.tex example file that comes with
latex-cjk-japanese? The three font styles are: min, goth and maru
(I will put all three in the examples file in a next release).
Cheers
Danai SAE-HAN

Bug#406701: fails on example file CJKutf8.tex
Hello Danai, I have tried installing latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab (I didn't know it had to be installed) and removing everything but the Japanese from CJKutf8.tex, and now a dvi is produced which has Japanese text in it. The same for the JIS.tex from the latex-cjk-japanese package. Ah, great to hear that. Which package installer did you use? Because latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab is recommended by latex-cjk-japanese. And if you used aptitude, it would normally select the font package as well. I installed latex-cjk-all, with apt-get - if there were recommended packages, I must have ignored the recommendations (should I always follow recommendations?). It is a bit confusing that the error which occurs when a font is not installed is a parse error, Undefined control sequence. - I would have thought that fonts would not affect actual LaTeX parsing. You're right that the Type1 fonts are not considered when LaTeX compiles the .tex font: they are only used when you actually view the DVI file or when you convert it to PS or PDF. However, TeX needs to calculate the amount of space that each glyph needs, so it consults the .tfm (TeX Font Metric) files in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/wadalab/. Hence the parsing error. I know it isn't too helpful for us, CJK users, but I'm no TeXpert (yet ;). I see, that makes sense. There is a remaining problem, which is that I can't convert either of the dvi files to ps or pdf successfully - all of the Japanese characters are blank. Am I correct in imagining that the problem is again one of fonts? If so, what should I install? Most interesting. That shouldn't happen. Could you give me an output of the error? Or the last lines of missfonts.log, if it exists? Did something go wrong during the installation of latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab? Yes, you are exactly right. The problem was that updmap-sys was failing, because of not being able to find cyberbit.map. I fixed that (I had incorrectly followed the Cyberbit instructions in README.Debian.gz, for some reason I mixed one of the NEW way instructions into the OLD way method which I had chosen; I'm not very good at following instructions - sorry!). However, strangely enough, the problem with creating ps and pdf files remains. I've got one theory, but I'm not confident that it would actually work: Remove or move away the Cyberbit Type1 and TFM fonts and the .map file (basically undoing the installation from README.Debian), and run texhash, update-updmap and updmap-sys as root. Now recompile the .tex file and view the DVI. Now run dvips or dvipdfmx. Please show me the error message if it fails. OK. I did all this; I'm attaching the output files from dvips and latex.

Bug#368451: Bug#368327: udev won't install, no error message
Here. It seems to leak directories in /tmp/ still (they are not empty because they contain a subdirectory called .udev). I don't know what the syslogd problem is, I get it when trying to install sysklogd as well. Also, the INTERFACE_NEW=eth1 thing is confusing, I have an eth1 interface but it is not up. The install doesn't fail, which is good, but as I said when I installed the stable version and then removed it, after that the unstable version began installing successfully as well, so I think whatever caused my problem is gone. Since you said it was a deadlock thing, I also tried doing the installation at different CPU speeds, still no failure... Also, I made sure that udevd is running.

Bug#368328: which options are the most important?
Package: exim4 Version: 4.50-8 Severity: normal The exim4 man page doesn't say which command-line options are the most important. The options are listed in alphabetical order, so I don't know in which order to read them to start learning about exim. This is especially frustrating since there are so many options and they all seem to refer to each other. Furthermore, if I want to find documentation on a particular option, I will use the text search functionality of my pager to search for it, and I think most other users will do the same. Therefore the most common reason for listing items in alphabetical order, namely so that readers of paper literature can use a binary search to find a particular item, doesn't apply here. Whereas if the options would be described in order of importance, then that would provide a natural progression in which people could learn about the command. And even if it were necessary to print the manual page on paper at some point, I think it would still be better to have a pedagogical ordering of the options, and to just include an alphabetized index at the end of the document. So that leaves me wondering why it was decided to list the command line options in alphabetical order in the manual page. -- Package-specific info: Exim version 4.50 #1 built 27-May-2005 08:08:19 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge 2004 Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.2.52: (December 3, 2003) Support for: iconv() IPv6 GnuTLS Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz dsearch nis nis0 passwd Authenticators: cram_md5 plaintext Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore autoreply lmtp pipe smtp Fixed never_users: 0 Configuration file is /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages exim4 depends on: ii exim4-base4.50-8 support files for all exim MTA (v4 ii exim4-daemon-light4.50-8 lightweight exim MTA (v4) daemon exim4 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The exim4 man page doesn't say which command-line options are the most important. The options are listed in alphabetical order, so I don't know in which order to read them to start learning about exim. You should not read the manpage to start learning about exim, the manpage is just a short reference, not a manual. Read /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/spec.txt.gz or /usr/share/doc/exim4-doc-html/html/index.html if you want to learn about exim. Yes, it looks like spec.txt.gz is a good way to learn about exim... if I want to learn about the whole thing, in every excruciating detail, from start to finish. I also notice that the command-line options are alphabetized in that document as well. I don't think you're honestly considering the merits of my suggestion. What if I want to *start* learning about exim? What if I just want to know how to, say (*gasp*) _do_ something with it? Something simple? Without reading a novel? Without getting a professional certification? ... So that leaves me wondering why it was decided to list the command line options in alphabetical order in the manual page. Because a) it is just a short reference It's NOT short. b) importance does not provide complete ordering of options. So what? It's better than alphabetical order. I am quite familiar with exim but given two options I really cannot tell which one is more important (Is -d or -qqf more important?), I could probably order them into used often, internal and everything else, but thats not useful. That would be very useful indeed. Could you do that? Frederik -- http://ofb.net/~frederik/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#368327: udev won't install, no error message
Oh, OK... I didn't know how to run installation scripts in debug mode (seems like it should be a switch to apt-get or dpkg?) but I will try that next time. Unfortunately, I removed the package and then installed the 'stable' version, which worked, and now when I go back to the 'unstable' version, the 'unstable' install works as well, so whatever condition was causing the problem is now gone.

I really, honestly cannot see how anybody could start learning by consulting the list of command-line options. The key things to know are 1. What routers and transports do. 2. How ACLs work (If you can talk SMTP by telnet you are set). 3. Basic string expansion and lookups (lsearch), aka the-lots-of-curly-braces-thing. 4. Where to find further documentation. Obviously for an MTA there is a lot more to understand than the command line interface. But if I (1) know that I want to run the exim command, for instance I have a message that I want to send with it, but (2) I don't know the exact options to use; then the man page seems like a reasonable place to look. In exim's case, it is practically useless - the few options which comprise 99% of all uses are buried deep within the man page. [...] I am quite familiar with exim but given two options I really cannot tell which one is more important (Is -d or -qqf more important?), I could probably order them into used often, internal and everything else, but thats not useful. That would be very useful indeed. Could you do that? It is not useful. Usually the only options you'll need are: - invoke with -oi -oem for piping (possible -t) - start daemon with -bd -q15m - Force queue-run with -qff - -b* to test stuff - Debug with -d It would be good to have this information somewhere in the man page. For everything else you'll usually just end up refering to the option a) because some other piece of documentation refered to it. (In which case alphabetical order is the most usable one.) b) you are searching for an option that does X. In that case you'll need to search for X using less, google, whatever. The alphabetic order also groups similar options together, as for example all testiong options start with -b, so is not just a mess. Sure, you get *some* order by listing things alphabetically; so I don't understand your aversion to having *more* order. Is order good, or what? Maybe having order is good when it's useful for defending your position, but not mine?

Bug#368405: manual page unclear
Package: exim4 Version: 4.50-8 Severity: normal For instance consider this piece of the man page: -tWhen Exim is receiving a locally-generated, non-SMTP message on its standard input, the -t option causes the recipients of the message to be obtained from the To:, Cc:, and Bcc: header lines in the message instead of from the command arguments. The addresses are extracted before any rewriting takes place. When Exim is receiving a locally-generated, non-SMTP message on its standard input So which options must I pass to exim, along with -t, to get it to receive a locally-generated non-SMTP message on its standard input? Good luck finding the answer in the man page, or in the specification. The answer seems to be none but I don't know how I was supposed to figure that out, other than by trial and error. It seems like a pretty typical use case to me, though. I think that something should be said near the top of the manual page about common use cases such as this. The most common options options can be put before the others, which would help a lot, but there should be some introductory text as well.

Bug#359274: db.c:299 Assertion `nt-match0.highest n_msgs' failed.
When I removed the mairix database and re-ran mairix, the error went away. What I sent was the output of mairix, I don't know how to tell which message or mailbox caused the error. Should I have run it with -v? You can mark it unreproducible, but I think that closing the bug would be a poor idea. The bug still exists. Bugs never go away. Assertions should never fail. Having a record that this particular assertion has failed would be useful for other users and for the author. If it is not obvious what is happening, then the next version could be modified to print more debugging information when that condition occurs, to make it easier for you to track down the source of the problem. Closing the bug would not help anyone remember to make this change. Frederik On Fri, Mar 31, 2006 at 10:59:03PM -0500, Benj.

Bug#355349: there should be a way for users to define key bindings which cannot be overridden by modes
Package: xemacs21 Version: 21.4.19-1 Severity: wishlist I think it would be extremely useful if xemacs could provide a way to let users define keybindings without having to worry about them being overridden later by modes. For instance, I bind M-n and M-p to scroll-up and scroll-down, so that I can scroll slowly as I read. Most modes don't override these bindings, but when they do, it's very annoying - in each such case (except for the case of the minibuffer, I admit) I would certainly prefer my own bindings to take precedence. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xemacs21 depends on: ii xemacs21-mule 21.4.19-1 highly customizable text editor -- xemacs21 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi, I think you already argued this point on the Octave mailing list, and I was not convinced that the change was needed. Would it really be good to have the Debian package include a special patch for this change that was not a part of the upstream Octave distribution? jwe I don't remember where it was argued, I was just explaining my thoughts to Rafael.
