Bug#439631: [imagemagick bug] Prod user

2009-01-25 Thread grok
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


 Can you reproduce http://bugs.debian.org/439631 using a
 new version of ImageMagick (from testing/unstable or
 experimental), please?
 
 If the problem is still present, can you send us a test
 image or an URL where we can download, and the exact
 command line that you are using?
 
 We will close this bug on february 15 2009.

(I wonder what happened to my previous reply on this bug?)

In any case: 

It appears that I 'upgraded myself' out of this bug some few
versions back; and so I no longer get this annoying bug --
or any of the other defects of ImageMagick's SVG rendering,
for that matter, which weren't mentioned at the time.
Everything seems to render quite well now, SVG-wise. So it
appears time indeed to close this bug report.

Thanx for all the work.

Bug#495901: poppler-utils: pdftoppm not padding zeros like xpdf version

2008-08-21 Thread grok
Package: poppler-utils
Version: 0.8.4-1.1
Severity: normal


I note that the poppler-utils version of pdftoppm does not
pad the output file(s) with zerosding out to 6 digits, like
the xpdf version of the same program did.

i.e. for some file foo.pdf:

foo-01.ppm   instead now becomes   foo-01.ppm


This is a bug AFAIC if the change is not documented, and
there remains no option to vary the number of leading (or
all) digits otherwise (which would be the preferred option).
At the very least the output format of pdftoppm should match
that of the xpdf version of the program if nothing else is
changed.

Bug#179384: apt: Limits of rate-limiting

2008-06-20 Thread grok
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.14+b1
Followup-For: Bug #179384

I believe I asked for this fix, long ago. However it appears
to have gotten lost in the mists of time, down the swirl of
the Debian sinkhole...
;

There is an issue with rate-limiting '-o Acquire::http::Dl-Limit='
-- which is not actually completely worked out, logically.

apt-get does NOT rate-limit the entire download session:
instead, it only rate-limits each particular process it is
working on. And so, when you are getting packages from
_multiple_ sources, the download rate is actually a
*multiple* of whatever is set in 'Dl-Limit='.

This, of course, is NFG for anyone who has set the rate
limit thinking they have set an absolute bar for apt-get.
They will instead max out their Internet connection, if
there is more than one source.

Bug#449319: mpg123: Numerous mp3 Internet streams now corrupting console and failing

2007-11-04 Thread grok
Package: mpg123
Version: 0.66-1.1
Severity: important


I'm surprised -- and a little distressed -- that this
appears to be a longtime non-issue for the mpg123 support
team. Is no one using this package? I've been waiting for
this problem to go away -- but it isn't, clearly. This issue
suddenly cropped up one day (how and exactly when I can no
longer tell you; but it's been some number of months and
less than a year, possibly); and on my end neither a number
of libc6 upgrades nor a major kernel upgrade has changed the
situation whatsoever. So AFAIC this has not likely been a
local issue on my end. Of course -- who knows, at this
point. [It could possibly be an ALSA issue, however, as I
did move to that from OSS around this time; but I do not
recall immediately having this problem then. Frankly, I
don't see this as being related to ALSA.]

Now, a situation exists with mpg123 where numerous Internet
MP3 streams produce garbled text output on the screen when
playing -- and too often begin to actually screw up the
display, so that the terminal has to be completely reset or
even re-started. I do not understand the situation enuff to
even begin to address the problem in that regard; but it
seems like some sort of buffer error to me: some sort of
overflow/bounds check or sanity check failure or something.
On top of this, these streams often fail, where they didn't
previously. Note that in most or all of these cases, I can
move to the mp3blaster program and then run these same MP3
streams pretty much as they've always been run (mp3blaster
has its own issues).

IMO it could very well be that these MP3 streams have always
not conformed to whatever standards they are supposed to
conform to, and mpg123 has simply become brittle in some way
in more rigorously dealing with this. However, it could just
as likely be some SNAFU purely on the mpg123 end. I can only
speculate here at this point.

And this is all I can give you here. Sorry. Hope it helps.

Bug#439631: convert: consistently placing string image/svg+xml inside rendered image

2007-08-26 Thread grok
Package: imagemagick
Version: 7:6.2.4.5.dfsg1-1
Severity: normal


For some reason, the string image/svg+xml gets printed
prominently inside a subset of the SVG images found on
Wikipedia (and perhaps elsewhere or everywhere too; this I
do not know), at least when 'convert' writes them to PNG
format.

Often, this string is stamped in inopportune places inside
diagrams for instance; so I rated this a 'normal' bug,
because it does actually interfere with reading/interpreting
a number of images.

Bug#439622: clive: no longer works for Youtube

2007-08-25 Thread grok
Package: clive
Version: 0.2.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


clive has simply stopped functioning as of a day or two ago.

If it still worx for you -- then it must be my setup;
however, I've changed practically nothing in the past few
weex, other than messing with locales; and temporarily
redirecting the ncurses library -- none of which should have
affected clive's operation.

Perhaps it's a to-be-expected change on the Youtube site
which creates this index error. Or brings it out in clive,
anyway.

Here is what I get:




clive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X

Bug#435903: convert: Problems with converting involved SVG polygons to other formats?

2007-08-03 Thread grok
Package: imagemagick
Version: 7:6.2.4.5.dfsg1-1
Severity: normal


You've done a superb job introducing SVG conversion in
imagemagick's convert -- kudos to you. But obviously this is
still a work-in-progress.

If you go to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gameboy_advance_logo.svg
and convert this logo graphic to e.g. PNG, you should get
some sort of scaling error. _Some_ of the image is visible,
as a squashed segment. That's it.

And it would be very interesting if we were to find out that
'it works for you' when you try it.

Bug#374654: Please allow '#' comments in /etc/apt/apt.conf

2006-06-20 Thread grok
Package: apt
Version: 0.6.44.2
Severity: normal


The maintainers clearly do not want separate bug requests
piled all into one report; but perhaps a request to allow
hash (#) chars as comments in _all_ apt config files, such
as '/etc/apt/apt.conf' is seen as the same bug/request. I
dunno. Let's see what the response is.

And so I'm filing this request/bug as a separate bug, since
it is wholly reasonable to expect to have/allow #s as
comments in config files; and it's bothersome when they are
not allowed, for whatever (IMO) arcane reason. And it loox
like nothing has been done on this front since the last time
I visited this report, or since it was first filed -- both
being quite some time ago.

Allow # comment lines in all apt config files, please.

Bug#336241: mediawiki: More than just a wish

2006-01-25 Thread grok
Package: mediawiki
Followup-For: Bug #336241


Seems to me that putting off a major upstream release for
a half year or more is something beyond a mere wishlist item.
Aren't these things considered actual _bugs_ at this point?

And note that this problem is _exactly_ why someone has gone to
all the trouble of packaging an *unofficial* version of v1.5.x...

Bug#346289: After upgrade to v1.0 bogofilter and all utilities hang upon running wordlist.db

2006-01-06 Thread grok
Package: bogofilter
Version: 0.94.4-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


I have no idea what happened, or how: bogofilter and bogoutil -- both
v0.94.4 and v1.0.0 hang. I was hoping that this might be the #317524 bug
at first; but I don't think so.

I upgraded to the new v1.0 of bogofilter (which is more than one
package, as I have found out) from bogofilter_0.94.4-1_i386. I noticed
that I wasn't getting my mail (I do not know when the problems began),
and saw that 3 or 4 bogofilters were in memory. When I killed them,
others kept spawning (every time procmail recipes were called for a
message), so I had to remove the bogofilter references in my procmail
recipe file.

I've tried running bogoutil in all sorts of ways: -d, --db-verify,
--db-recover, --db-recover-harder, etc. -- and it simply hangs every
time too, with a small footprint in memory (1M) and using 0% of CPU. No
disk activity. No way I can export the tokens now, etc. So I don't know
if the wordlist.db got corrupted or not.

NB: It's not at all clear to me that the bogoupgrade script _doesn't_
take .db files as input (IMO unclear documentation and I've only glanced
at the perl file, looking for clues); so just in case, I'll give you
this (possibly completely irrelevant) output:

  $ bogoupgrade -i wordlist.db -o foo.db
  Cannot recognize signature [V_8_b1_M7_QZ_Z_H_s_A_0_ _{_].


I don't know what you can do with the above sketchy information, but
that's the best I can come up with right now.

Bug#339549: fetchyahoo: script suddenly hanging, eating up 100% of CPU cycles

2005-11-16 Thread grok
Package: fetchyahoo
Version: 2.9.0-1
Severity: normal


I don't know what Debian policy fetchyahoo now violates, but it is now
suddenly creating out of memory errors and having other packages close
down, while multiple copies of fetchyahoo hang in memory adding a new
one each time crontab runs; and each new copy now vies for 100% of CPU
time. Upon 'pkill fetchyahoo' the sendmail program does mail me the log
message, which stops at the line beginning Getting Message ID(s)...

It's strange that this problem appears to have only started in the past
day or two, and I have installed only 2, completely unrelated, packages
and updated none in a number of weeks.

Bug#156578: apt: When does a wishlist bug get promoted to serious?

2005-09-13 Thread grok
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.28.6
Followup-For: Bug #156578


Ya -- 4 requests on what should be a fairly high-priority basic feature.
On a bug that really should be classified as Serious or similar AFAIC.
And, no, do it yourself is _not_ an option here (what a lousy cop-out
knee-jerker that one is...) We all can't be full-time Debian mavens.
Even half-time, unfortunately. Some of us have to fight fascism -- while
others supply the open OS to do it with... Division of labor and all
that. Remember?

Long ago, apt-get should have incorporated something along the lines of
the wget '--limit-rate' command-line switch, as has been mentioned
earlier. It has always been an obvious priority (and I need not get into
why) -- but has consistently been shunted aside for some reason.
Just how incredibly hard could this little project be?? It concerns a
fundamental piece of Debian, and will likely affect millions of Debian
users in future! (Probably in countries without much cable
infrastructure.) In a system based on volunteer labor, we can all wait.
But going on how many years, now, have we been waiting on this thing?

Consider this a request to make this wishlist item an *actual bug*,
somewhere below (but not far below, eh?) Release Critical.

As for the hacks: they have never worked for me. But maybe I'm just too
stupid to understand why jumping thru hoops is an acceptable substitute
for what should be normal procedure in any case.

Followup-For: Bug #326169


I was very disappointed to find that this bug has not gone away after
the bugfix. Maybe it's a partial fix which works in some domains and not
others... Anyway, it's great to see activity on this thing.

I still don't understand this problem myself, but I can't get fetchyahoo
to give me any useful information with, say, '--noquiet' or '--errors'.
No logging that I can see as far I have the time to look. Wish I could
give you some insight from my end -- other than saying the bug continues
on, exactly as before.

So please consider this bug reopended.

Bug#317848: mp3blaster: Timer display not properly bounds-checked/programmed?

2005-07-11 Thread grok
Package: mp3blaster
Version: 1:3.2.0-6
Severity: normal


(This problem has been around for a little while. Shouldn't have assumed
it was being looked-into):

When playing files that are over an hour in length, the timer/counter on
the right-hand side of mp3blaster now flips over to negative numbers,
and generally counts from different offsets at different times.
I don't remember if it's always happening at the same offset; but for
the file I am listening to right now, it flips negative at 1:05:32.

Because of this out-of-bounds behavior, the display also spills over to
the edge of the screen. The counter will usually go positive again at
some point, but the display will still be messed up (and is it good form
to have the cursor displayed beside the timer for that matter? Might
this be related?)

Besides being incredibly annoying, this bug essentially makes the timer
useless for any files over a certain length.

Bug#305223: nload: I meant console grafix...

2005-06-26 Thread grok
Package: nload
Version: 0.6.0-2
Followup-For: Bug #305223


Sorry I am so late with a reply. World revolution is very
time-consuming.


 It's a mystery to me why, but nload displays no grafik display at all.
 I tried changing the -i and -o. No dice. Makes nload a far less
 interesting package to me.

 Some mistake on my part, or something more general?

 The package description states that it's a console application. It
 doesn't have any X support, I assume that's what you mean with graphics
 support?

 I think you want xnetload or something similar then.

Sorry too that my bug report was ambiguous on that account.

I indeed mean the _console_ grafix -- i.e. all those ASCII characters
scrolling off the screen as they approximate a graph of Internet
activity. It just does not work on my system. I do, however, get the
Incoming  Outgoing statistix just fine, so I know the package is
actually functioning.

Again: Am I merely misunderstanding something simple?

Bug#315886: elinks: core dump while sorting thru bookmarks' saved snapshots

2005-06-26 Thread grok
Package: elinks
Version: 0.10.4-7
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss


Hi:

I am getting this crash pretty regularly now when I start shuffling
around the 'snapshot' URLs (they've already been moved away from where
elinks puts them as per the configuration setting, so they should just
be 'regular' URLs now, right?)

I put core dump in quotes in the subjectline, because the error message
_says_ that it has produced a core dump, but I don't actually get one --
just the backtrace below. Seems to me, perhaps, that I turned off core
dumps somewhere, some time ago?
;

Let me know what I should do if you want to go further on this with me.

Bug#315765: bsdmainutils: [cal] User-specified range of months defaulting to current year

2005-06-25 Thread grok
Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 6.0.17
Severity: wishlist


The -3 switch for cal which gives the last/present/next month is a great
thing to have. So it'd be even greater IMO if cal could default to the
present year while accepting _ranges_ of months: i.e. 7-9 or 7,9,11 for
the months July/August/September or July/September/November, for the
current year, etc. Adding a year argument after that, of course, would
mean that you were asking for those months in that year -- all this
requiring, I suppose, the re-jigging of cal to not default to a
one-argument list representing a year (though insisting on always
including the year first is clearly not an obstacle).

I don't see this as being an insurmountable challenge to implement; but
perhaps accepted usage would nix this type of change.
Hope this can be implemented. I think it would be very useful.

Bug#308127: goats: footprint too big

2005-05-07 Thread grok
Package: goats
Version: 2.2-2.1
Severity: wishlist


Bah! Goats takes up way too much resident memory for what it is.
But looking at the long list of dependencies below (I was going to
delete them in this message, but I think I'll keep them as part of it),
I'm wondering if that might be part of the reason..?

In any case -- this is not a serious bug, but what I would consider a
design issue. Please consider paring-down the size of the resident part
of goats, if at all possible: 1.2MB is just way too much!

Bug#164792: doc-linux-html: Should be re-titled: Low diskspace problem -- install in smaller chunx!

2005-05-06 Thread grok
Package: doc-linux-html
Version: 2005.02-1
Followup-For: Bug #164792


I understand the original bug-filer's point: This package throws the
entire unzipped contents into /usr before even beginning to replace
things (AFAIK). And of course, too, the maintainer needs to maintain his
sanity...
;

I don't actually know the methodology involved in installing such a
humungous package; but isn't it possible to arrange the install
script(s) so that *sections* of the documentation replace *just* their
antecedents, in an orderly progression? So that people who think they
have just enuff diskspace at, say 50-60MB don't keep getting a nasty
surprise?

This really is a bug in a kinda big way, for small systems.

Bug#306603: Hardwired for 'hotmail.com' and cannot change in ~/.gotmailrc

2005-04-27 Thread grok
Package: gotmail
Version: 0.8.2-2
Severity: important


Gotmail can only access an alternate hotmail.2-letter country code
domain server when every instance of hotmail.com in the actual gotmail
perl script is changed (I did not spend time following the logic to find
the minimum number of variables which needed changing).

Thus, setting a server other than hotmail.com in ~/.gotmailrc doesn't
work -- which it should (who knew?) .gotmailrc, of course, should be the
one cfg location where the default hotmail.com location in the gotmail
script can be overridden (other than the commandline, which I haven't
tested for a very long time).

And all this is beside any stupidity and hanky-panky on Hotmail's side
(which is the whole reason this all came up in the first place...)

I've let many fortunes errors go by; but I felt ambitious with this

Thanx for all the yucks and info!

Bug#305223: nload: No graphic display whatsoever

2005-04-18 Thread grok
Package: nload
Version: 0.6.0-2
Severity: important


It's a mystery to me why, but nload displays no grafik display at all.
I tried changing the -i and -o. No dice. Makes nload a far less
interesting package to me.

Some mistake on my part, or something more general?
