Bug#885884: bashburn: does not work: it passes incorrect options to wodim, so no CD can ever be burnt

2017-12-30 Thread Stephen McGregor
Package: bashburn
Version: 3.0.1-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

Correctly makes *.WAV files, but then incorrectly constructs the wodim
command line, so can not work

Bug#885881: mp3burn: does not work at all, produces blank CD ROMs

2017-12-30 Thread Stephen McGregor
Package: mp3burn
Version: 0.4.2-2.2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,


Ran 

 mp3burn --check ATIP -o "dev=/dev/sr0 speed=10 "  -M lame  *mp3 

in  a directory of mp3 files.

A CD of blank tracks was produced. 

Also, 

- the defaults are insane: can convert anything to a music CD, as long as
the files are in a nutty configuration

- last updated in 2002, 15-16 years ago.

Bug#803463: mlocate: both --wholename and -b -basename differ from using neither of these options

2015-10-30 Thread Stephen McGregor
Package: mlocate
Version: 0.26
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


If I run 
mlocate abcde 

I am returned a short list of files, with obvious omissions. 19 files in my 
real-world example

If I run
mlocate -b abcde
I am returned a longer list of files; 194 files in my real world example

If I run
mlocate --wholename abcde
I am returned 1780 files.


mlocate's action without either -b or --wholename is completely broken. 
mlocate should default to either -b or to --wholename
The default behaviour should be documented in the man page.

Bug#802251: usbview: does not run on modern Debian system

2015-10-18 Thread Stephen McGregor
Package: usbview
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

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

   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

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

Upon running usbview, it looks for a usbdevfs devices file in
/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices.  When this is, of course, not found, a window
is presented, asking for the correct location of the non-existend usbdevfs
devices file.

Leaving out that usbdevfs has been usbfs for probably 10 years now, and that
there is no devices 'file' related to USB at all in the /sys dir tree, if
one tries to change the "Location of usbdevfs devices file" to something
that exists, like anything in /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbfs/*, then the
application hangs until killed.

It does not work as shipped, and the only action that usbview can complete
successfully is to hang.

usbview should be removed from testing/stretch: it is completely
disfunctional. It's last documentation update was in 2002. 

usbview is also unable to be built from source: it's config script dies when
testing for c++ as the config file is incorrect but that's another bug.

Bug#795840: udisks2: No man manpage (an no other documentation)

2015-08-17 Thread Stephen McGregor
Package: udisks2
Version: 2.1.3-5
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
   
I want to configure udisks2 so that it will work, so I needed a man page.
But there is no man page.

I understand that this, also, violates Debian packaging rules

There is an effectively empty readme, and a man page for umount.udisks2
which is a helper for umount (to clean out udisks2 files)

  * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?

Nothing

   * What was the outcome of this action?  

I cannot use udisks2

* What outcome did you expect instead?

That there would be a man page, and that I would be able to use udisks2

Bug#788825: libarchive-zip-perl: crashes when run by unoconv (versions 1.30)

2015-06-15 Thread Stephen McGregor
Package: libarchive-zip-perl
Version: 1.37 1.39
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?

running uncconv to convert an Open/libreoffice doc into a PDF. 

The crash only occurs if a version of libarchive-sip-perl greater than 1.30
is installed. 

Version 1.30 runs fine.


   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?

The command I ran was: 

unoconv -f pdf -n  -T 60 -e PageRange=1-2 inputFileName.odt

   * What was the outcome of this action?

(1) Error messages:

[sScalar found where operator expected at (eval 146) line 10, near 
00397
$fh (Missing operator before $fh?)

(2) unoconv crashes, sending an error to the program that was using it 

(3) no document conversion

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

a PDF file created from the libre/openoffice doc


Workaround

find a version of libarchive-zip-perl at 1.30; install this over the current 
version, all works fine.

 Hello Stephen,
 I am the maintainer of apt-listbugs: please read
 /usr/share/doc/apt-listbugs/README.Debian.gz
 In section How to (temporarily) disable apt-listbugs
 you will find two easy ways to disable apt-listbugs without
 removing its package.
 A very similar strategy should work with how-can-i-help
 (the file is /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99how-can-i-help, I think).
 
 After disabling apt-listbugs and how-can-i-help,
 please upgrade package ruby-debian to version 0.3.8+b3 .
 
 At that point, please re-enable apt-listbugs and how-can-i-help:
 aptitude and apt-get should work again correctly.
 
 I hope this helps.
 Bye.

  Thanks for getting back on this.

 It's unclear to me how you can end up with this configuration.
 Under both the old and the new regime, /usr/bin/ruby is always a
 symlink to one of the versioned files.
 
 Can you shed some light on this?

Not personally. Ruby only gets installed as a dependency: I do not use
ruby or directly install it.

However, the /usr/bin/ruby *is* a link to the ruby2.0

Bug#747442: aptitude: progs run by aptitude (apt-listbugs, how-can-I-help block apt when they crash

2014-05-08 Thread Stephen McGregor
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.10
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

the specific situation:
-   [ already filed as #747406 against ruby]
-a ruby corruption is crashing both apt-listbugs AND how-can-I-help 
-   thus aptitude returns a failure and does NOT install the desired 
packages
-   the apt system is now completely broken: these packages can not be 
removed
and no others can be installed.
-   apt-get is also affected and no longer works.

the general case --- important
-   any program run by aptitude (such as apt-listbugs or how-can-I-help) 
that 
crashes will break the apt system.
-   this is a critical bug: any type of failure in sub-programs should have 
NO
effect on aptitude.

The code should be changed so that any problem in sub-programs run by aptitude
will have NO effect on aptitude (or apt-get). Otherwise the apt system is at 
risk from any such program

The bug I have filed above is related to a collection of recent (the week up to 
today 
2014-05-08) bugs in ruby.

See that bug #747406  for more detail. 

HOWEVER, the problem is the general case: corruptions such as this ruby problem 
should
have NO effect on aptitude.

Bug#663069: Composite on: e16 menus corrupted. Composite off: applicn menus don't work

2012-03-08 Thread Stephen McGregor
Package: e16
Version: 1.0.0.3
Severity: normal



When using the e16 window manager, the 'Composite' functionality is turned on,
the desktop menus are constrained to the top left of the screen and even then
are truncated and generally unuseable.

With composite turned off, application menus, like libreoffice menus, are
blank.

Bug#567045: inkscape: SAVE function corrupted : can't open any SVG files that inkscape iteself writes

2010-01-26 Thread Stephen McGregor
Package: inkscape
Version: 0.47 r22583
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

Fresh install of Inkscape on Debian, all dependencies installed.

Inkscape runs, but it then can't open any SVG file that inkscape,
itself, has written.  That is, the default 'save' action makes the file
useless, loosing all of one's work.  Have installed every package that
has the words 'gnome' and 'vfs' in its name.   Also installed Nautlius
file browser. 

Not running gnome, of course have all the gnome libraries. 

The error messages are 



(inkscape:17386): libgnomevfs-CRITICAL **: gnome_vfs_uri_is_local:
assertion `uri != NULL' failed

** (inkscape:17386): WARNING **: Invalid URI

** (inkscape:17386): WARNING **: Error:  Could not open file
'/temp/.svg' with VFS



It is not possible that any application couldn't read the files that it,
itself,  has written, there must be a horrendous bug somewhere.
