Bug#919981: fonts-mathjax: Ugly formulas in jupyter

[Jan Groenewald]

Package: fonts-mathjax
Version: 2.7.4+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * Jupyter notebook mathematics formulas are ugly with bad spacing,
   * short integrals and parenthesis, even some missing mathcal
   * characters.

   * Upgrading to fonts-mathjax from buster fixes (well, improves greatly) the 
rendering/display.

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***

Bug#911292: Acknowledgement (lightning: Calendar not working after upgrade)

[Jan Groenewald]

Thank you, this bug can be closed please.

thunderbird-l10n-en-gb was installed but not lightning-l10n-en-gb

Since thunderbird recommends lightning, perhaps thunderbird-l10-* should
recommend lightning-l10n-* ?

Bug#893257: [Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#893257: libvirt-daemon-system (bpo) upgrade hard freezes system

[Jan Groenewald]

Thank you, yes, I did get confused, but I do have a backports installation
with
Setting up systemd (237-3~bpo9+1) ...

I am however withdrawing bug report until someone else verifies or I dig
deeper over some days.

Bug#893257: libvirt-daemon-system (bpo) upgrade hard freezes system

[Jan Groenewald]

Package: libvirt-daemon-system
Version: 3.0.0-4+deb9u2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

   sudo apt-get -t stretch-backports dist-upgrade

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?

   Unpacking libvirt-daemon-system (3.0.0-4+deb9u3) over (3.0.0-4+deb9u2) ... 
   Failed to reload daemon: Connection reset by peer
   [ and then hard freeze, no numlock or sysrq response ]

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

   successful package upgrade.


   Post this, dpkg --configure -a froze system again
   I had to systemctl stop librt-guests and libvirtd, in order to dpkg 
--configure -a (which configured systemd but abandoned above upgrade)
   Redoing the dist-upgrade the exact same error and freeze ocurred.

Bug#617296: RFP: rstudio -- IDE for GNU R

[Jan Groenewald]

Hi

Just an update. I have received an request from users to update the PPA to
copy the rstudio package from Ubuntu 14.04 trusty to Ubuntu 16.04 xenial.
They will be testing it.

https://launchpad.net/~aims/+archive/ubuntu/aims-desktop/+files/rstudio-upstream-deb_1.0.136~ppa1_amd64.deb

In the meantime my own institution is migrating from Ubuntu 14.04 trusty to
Debian 9 stretch. Installing rstudio 1.0.136 depends on 3 packages from
Debian 8 jessie:

libgstreamer0.10-0
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0
libssl1.0.0

(As far as I can see via search, other users are running rstudio on Ubuntu
16.04 xenial without additional dependencies from elsewhere.)

As it is "version 1" now, perhaps it has stabilized enough for inclusion in
Debian?

(My users need new R packages, but a version 1 of rstudio will be useful
for a year or two without updates; but that could also go in backports if
possible.)

Regards,
Jan

Bug#851843: software-properties-common: apt-add-repository non-free adds bogus line at end of sources.list

[Jan Groenewald]

Package: software-properties-common
Version: 0.96.20.2-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

apt-add-repositry non-free (or contrib) does not add the component
but adds a bogus line which breaks future apt updates:

0 root@jan-desktop:/etc/apt#cat sources.list
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ stretch main
0 root@jan-desktop:/etc/apt#apt-add-repository non-free
'non-free' distribution component enabled for all sources.

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ stretch main
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unknown.new.testing non-free

I expected instead

Bug#617296: RFP: rstudio -- IDE for GNU R

[Jan Groenewald]

FWIW I repackage the stable debs (built on Ubuntu 1204) from
https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/  into a PPA here
https://launchpad.net/~aims/+archive/ubuntu/aims-desktop so that my users
install via apt and get updates. I just unpack their deb and repack it as a
binary package with dependencies added. Only the desktop version (not
server version) as we need this to work on student laptops while offline.

Would love to see rstudio in Debian.

Regards,
Jan
