No, I did not ignore it. I gave it a try, but to no avail. Just read my
comment above.

Removing /etc/hostname works on a 64-bit architecture, but not on 32-bit
(third time's the charm).

Have fun,

I'm basically a Slackware user, and I gave Debian a spin out of
curiosity. Reporting a bug with Slackware is as easy as posting a
message in the LinuxQuestions forum, and a couple days later, the distro
maintainer fixes it, with a curt Thank You note in the ChangeLog.

I'll let you guys fix this, but as far as I'm concerned, there is
clearly a malfunction, so my bug report stops here.

Cheers from the sunny South of France,

Niki

Hi Alejandro,

Your solution works on 64-bit... but not on 32-bit, as described in the
initial bug report.

Dhclient showing inconsistent behavior on 32-bit and 64-bit systems
looks like a bug to me.

Cheers,

Niki

And hell, uploading a build is not as trivial as you might think it is -
you need to babysit all architectures to build it and before they didn't
it won't even appear in proposed-updates.


My apologies. I simply didn't know it was this complicated. Keep up the 
good work, and a huge pat on the shoulder for putting together a great 
system. The german writer Kurt Tucholsky once wrote about a woman: "Zur 
Perfektion fehlte ihr nur das Makel". She only needs a flaw to be perfect.


In the meantime, Libre Office from backports seems to work well for me, 
with the annoying bracket-closing bug corrected (been working with it 
the whole morning). And as far as I understand, it will be officially 
supported in Wheezy as a replacement for Open Office. So far, no 
show-stopper bugs on the horizon.

I don't see one.


And what prevents you from correcting the bug and publishing a working 
version, so a simple 'aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade' corrects 
the problem ? I didn't know Debian stable was about users having to 
manually apply patches to solve problems.

I actually wanted to fix it for squeeze and had test packages ready but then I 
forgot it/
I never came to it/lost those packages :/

So yes, given that wheezy is there soon I think there won't be an update for 
this
in squeeze...


Thanks for the quick reply. Though this is turning into a bit of a 
problem for me. Context: my company (http://www.microlinux.fr) provides 
100 % GNU/Linux and FOSS solutions for professional users like small 
town halls, public libraries, private schools, small and medium 
companies, etc. All the solutions - server as well as desktop - are 
Debian-based, e. g. stable with a handful of backports. So far, this is 
the first really annoying bug, since the secretary of a private school 
where I installed it pointed it out to me, and I couldn't help her out.


Right now I'm giving Libre Office from backports a spin, but the last 
time I checked it out - 3.4.something on Slackware, I was mostly 
impressed by the myriad of bugs.


If there's an easy fix to this, it would come highly appreciated.

Cheers from the rainy South of France,

Niki Kovacs
