Bug#851066: flashplugin-nonfree: Mismatch between detected and available versions (Download file not available at people.debian.org)

Package: flashplugin-nonfree
Version: 1:3.7
Followup-For: Bug #851066

Okay, attached is that patch I mentioned in my previous message.
This patch adds a new option to update-flashplugin-nonfree:


--using 
Specifies the name of a local tar file instead of attempting to
discover and download the latest version.  This file is presumed to be a tar
file downloaded by hand from Adobe.com, containing the flash plugin
appropriate for your machine arch.  No checks are performed to ensure the
tar file is authentic; you should download such plugins *only* from
Adobe.com.


Hmm.  Now that I think about it, I should update the docs, too.

Seems to work well for me.  Feedback welcome.

Bug#851066: flashplugin-nonfree: Mismatch between detected and available versions (Download file not available at people.debian.org)

2017-04-20 Thread Leo L. Schwab
Package: flashplugin-nonfree
Version: 1:3.7
Followup-For: Bug #851066

Dear Maintainer,

This note is more for followers of this bug than the maintainer.

I decided to spend some non-trivial time to try and craft a patch
that would skip downloading and checking the little information blobs from
~bartm's account, thereby removing the dependency on updates from ~bartm.
After a little while, I concluded that this approach would be nearly
impossible to solve in the general case.

The fundamental problem is that Adobe can't be relied upon to
provide a consistent URL for downloading the Flash tarball.  ~bartm's
solution to this issue appears to have been to extract crucial metadata from
the most current Linux download on Adobe's site (presumably by hand), place
them in a small text file along with some SHA512 hashes, and then GPG-sign
the file.

As a consequence, the files pulled from ~bartm's account contain
crucial metadata that the update-flashplugin-nonfree script needs to locate
and download the plugin from Adobe's site.  Obviously, it is impossible to
parse Adobe's Web pages at runtime, as they rely heavily (and unnecesarily)
on dynamic HTML and JavaScript; and Adobe's download directories don't
enumerate -- you either give it exactly the right URL, or you get a 404.

The next thing I'm going to try is to add an option to unpack and
install an already-downloaded Flash tar file.  Not nearly as seamless, but
far better than people doing it by hand.

Same problem here, for about two weeks so far.  And now
v11.2.202.626 has been blacklisted by Mozilla/Firefox, so all Flash-based
Web content is inaccessible until this is fixed.

Bug#635604: package causes ethernet address to be set to aa:00:04:00:0a:04

2011-08-02 Thread Leo L. Schwab
Package: dnet-common
Version: 2.56
Followup-For: Bug #635604

Concur with previous reporters.  I was experiencing mysterious
network stalls on the two machines on which dnet-common had been hauled in
as a dependency.  It was only by serendipity that I figured out it was
decnet stomping on my MAC addresses, such that both machines ended up with
the same MAC address.

When dnet-common was installed, I was prompted for configuration,
and selected "Configure later," believing (justifiably, I think) that the
decnet infrastructure would not attempt to do anything weird or disruptive
until I'd fully configured it.  This is not the case.  The default
configuration is to alter the MAC address of all available interfaces.

The workaround is to comment out everything in /etc/default/decnet.

It is probably correct that aptitude should not have "helpfully"
pulled in dnet-common as a recommendation of libdnet.  However, I would
still argue that dnet-common shouldn't be messing with fundamental network
settings unless and until the administrator formally configures it and turns
it on.

Also persisted in 2.6.32-rc8.  I haven't tried anything past that.

Actually, I was able reproduce it fairly reliably on this machine
(which is of limited help to you guys, I know...).

In case it matters: The machine is a Sony VAIO VGN-S150 with 512M of
RAM.  This was the first of the now-retired S-series VAIOs.

I still have access to this machine, and I'm no stranger to writing
device drivers and compiling kernels.  So if you need some especially weird
tests run, I can probably do it.  However, the turnaround time may be a
little long, as the machine is now in a remote location.

Thanks,

Bug#560126: xserver-xorg-video-radeon: Launching GL Apps Corrupts System

2009-12-09 Thread Leo L. Schwab
Further information:

- An extended 'smartctl' test revealed no errors.  So it's probably
  not the disk.
- 'debsums -s' reported errors for a couple of files in OpenOffice;
  everything else was fine.

I also did some fiddling with options in xorg.conf this morning.

Setting AGPMode to 1 does not improve behavior.  Setting
AGPFastWrites to False does not improve behavior.  The system still goes to
pieces when GL kicks in.

Setting DRI to False improves things -- GL acceleration is disabled,
but the system remains stable.

Those were the latest available versions that I could find via

This is basically a virgin 'testing' install.

The machine is a Sony VAIO VGN-S150 laptop.  This machine was
decommissioned about two years ago when the keyboard inexplicably died.
Prior to that, it was running Debian 'unstable' on a daily basis just fine,
including GL acceleration.

The keyboard just as inexplicably came back to life recently, and
I've been experimenting with various desktops as a prelude to gifting it to
my mother.  But then this corruption issue surfaced.

It's a Sony, so I suppose it's possible the machine has traded a
broken keyboard for a broken graphics chip (is there a way to test this?),
but it has never been subjected to any abuse.  It also passes MemTest86+
without issue, so it would not seem to be a problem with flaky memory.

The laptop in question isn't being used for anything (yet), so I can
subject it to any form of diagnostic abuse you choose :-).

I wholeheartedly agree.

Bug#391871: drip Does Not Load; Missing Libraries

2006-10-08 Thread Leo L. Schwab
Package: drip
Version: 0.9.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Upon installing 'drip' 0.9.0-2 for the first time on this
machine, I attempted to run it, and was immediately greeted with the
following error:

object file: No such file or directory

A quick look through /usr/lib revealed that a number of
softlinks to libraries named libdrip* had been installed, but not the
libraries themselves:
