Bug#913552: firehol: Firehol upgrade 3.1.6+ds-4 to 3.1.6+ds-5 leaves firehol broken

Hi,

Thanks for the pointer. I run Approx, so I have the history of packages here
anyway. The issue is whether I have to delve into it for manual installation,
or whether the Debian Sid package can be rescinded. I suspect not, I think
Debian is "the only direction is forward" which is fair enough.

It sounds like usrmerge is becoming a Debian standard, so I might try it on
that one machine.

I've held all but one machine on 3.1.6+ds-4 but now need to revert the one
test machine.  Aptitude is telling me there is only 3.1.6+ds-5. Can this
version be removed from the repository and 3.1.6+ds-4 reinstated, or do I just
have to manually grab the packages and install them?

That seems like the beastie, and it is a once and for all time thing it seems.
I have not installed this. At least not as yet. I am hesitant to do this as it
is clearly not Debian Sid standard and it is not reversible.

but if it is standard in Debian Sid, I clearly do not have it switched on.

I think the file assumes everything that isn't in /usr/sbin is in /usr/bin,
but Debian has mktemp in /bin not /usr/bin.

I tried:

INTERFACESv4=""

on the assumption of interface discovery as used to happen, but this
didn't work.

INTERFACESv4="eth0"

does however work fine. I have a DHCP server again. :-) Thanks for
pointing me to the solution, and quickly, it is very much appreciated.

Bug#793630: groovy 1.8.6 and libcommons-cli-java 1.3.1 FTBFS

  Since you have worked upstream with libcommons-cli-java, I hope to

 commons-cli provides several parsers with different behaviors. Up to 
 1.2
 there was a gnu and a posix parsers, and starting with 1.3 I 
 introduced
 a new unified parser (DefaultParser). You may try using it, it's just 
 a
 matter of changing the instantiation and it's likely to work better.

As far as I am aware, the Apache Groovy source explicitly imports and
uses the GnuParser – even now despite it being deprecated – as part of
the CliBuilder class. All other uses of org.apache.commons.cli in the
Apache Groovy source use DefaultParser. If I remember correctly,
DefaultParser, which is PosixParser I believe, enforces bursting of
single hyphen options, which is fine for the Groovy command line, but
not sufficiently flexible for the CliBuilder.

The Java Way is for a version of something, in this case Groovy 1.8.6
to retain its original dependency, in this case Commons CLI 1.2.x,
rather than have the dependencies altered without a new release – most
people get their dependencies from JCenter or Maven Central via Gradle
or Maven.

Apache Groovy 1.x series is no longer maintained. All effort is now on
the Apache Groovy 2.4.x and 2.5-SNAPSHOT versions. If Debian is to
remove Commons CLI 1.2 then I suggest removing the groovy package since
the groovy2 package is in place already, and is the right version for
Debian to go with.

Unless I am missing something.

 Hi,
 
 automatic installation tests of packages that share a file and at the
 same time do not conflict by their package dependency relationships has
 detected the following problem:
 
   Preparing to replace groovy 1.8.6-1 (using .../groovy_2.1.6+dfsg-1_all.deb)

 (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/groovy/lib/gpars.jar', which is also in 
 package libgpars-groovy-java 0.10-1
 
 This is a serious bug as it makes installation fail, and violates
 sections 7.6.1 and 10.1 of the policy. An optimal solution would
 consist in only one of the packages installing that file, and renaming
 or removing the file in the other package. Depending on the
 circumstances you might also consider Replace relations or file
 diversions. If the conflicting situation cannot be resolved then, as a
 last resort, the two packages have to declare a mutual
 Conflict. Please take into account that Replaces, Conflicts and
 diversions should only be used when packages provide different
 implementations for the same functionality.

Whilst this may a priori be a failure of the Debian packaging rules, the
situation stems from the fact that GPars used to be a totally separate
thing from Groovy, but now the Groovy distribution includes and relies
on GPars even though it is has a separate development line. I argue that
the Debian package strategy may well be the underlying problem here
because it does not allow multiple versions of artefacts as is standard
practice in the JVM-verse.

Whilst libgpars-groovy-java used to be a good idea, the gpars artefact
should be an integral part of the groovy package from Groovy 2.0
onwards.

Also worth noting that GPars 0.10 is ancient, we are now at 1.1 and
wondering when to release 1.2.

 Here is a list of files that are known to be shared by both packages
 (according to the Contents file for sid/amd64, which may be
 slightly out of sync):
 
   /usr/share/groovy/lib/gpars.jar

This raises the issue of why Debian has a single unnumbered artefact
when the Java universe works with numbered artefacts so that different
versions can be used in the same system.  In particular, in order to
have Gradle 1.x installed, Groovy 1.8.x must be installed, which means
Groovy 2.1.x cannot be installed unless Gradle is removed. There is a
viscous circle here leading to Debian being unable to support the Groovy
infrastructure.

Debian really needs to change it's Java and Groovy policies to enable
multiple versions of artefacts.

To be honest the current situation means most people ignore the Debian
packaging system for Java and Groovy (and indeed Scala, Ceylon, Kotlin,
Clojure, etc.) and use the language specific installations. For Groovy
this means using GVM, which is a Bash based package installer which just
requires some Java install at JAVA_HOME. Most people use the Oracle
distribution, particularly those of us using Java 8 – which cannot be
packaged by Debian for Unstable for sensible reasons.
 
 This bug is assigned to both packages. If you, the maintainers of
 the two packages in question, have agreed on which of the packages will
 resolve the problem please reassign the bug to that package. You may
 also register in the BTS that the other package is affected by the bug.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Andreas

 You should use w_scan to gather the new information. It would be useful if
 you attach the new tuning information to this bug report.

Not sure about w_scan, I have scan.  It doesn't generate a channel list.

I calculated the following replacement for the uk-CrystalPalace file:

# UK, Crystal Palace

The BBC A, D34, SDN, Arqiva A, and Arqiva B frequencies all work fine
with vlc, I get all the channels on the multiplex.  BBC B seems to fail
but I have a suspicion that may be that the TerraTec USB unit I have
does not handle HD.  I am not sure what the NONE entries are, and I am
not sure if the 1/32 is correct.  All other entries come straight from
the OfCom document -- which I assume is definitive.

 http://bugs.debian.org/660189 - does this math your problem?

I had not checked with the forum.  I am not really a forum type person
don't go to them unless pushed...I'll see if I can do a search for
something this weekend.

Immediate reaction to the above is that I do use Chrome but not
Chromium.

 Russel, can you confirm that the machine becomes unresponsive after this
 crash? Or can you just relogin and continue to work?

For me X just dies and then GDM3 kicks in and shows a login screen.  The
machine is generally fine as far as I can tell.

I upgraded this morning after a few days gap and there was a new kernel
so I tried the machine again.  Sadly there was a X termination fail so I
have stopped using that machine until there is another kernel or NVIDIA
driver update.

Bug#631289: iwlagn: Kernel 2.6.39-2-amd64 in Debian Testing causes Lenovo X201 and T500 wifi to crash Netgear DGN3500 ADSL router/Wifi access point

2011-06-22 Thread Russel Winder
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.39-2
Severity: grave
File: iwlagn
Justification: renders package unusable


I am running Debian Testing generally updated each morning.  Kernel 
2.6.38-2-amd64 was working fine with my
configuration of Lenovo X201 and T500 laptops connecting to my Netgear DGN3500 
ADSL router/wifi access
point.  On upgrading to kernel 2.6.39-2-amd64 the other day, I find that any 
use of wifi with the laptops
causes the router to crash unrecoverably within about 2mins.  The wifi works 
for a short while and then the
router just stops, including the control page accessed via separate computer 
connected via wired Ethernet, so
the Netgear crash is total requiring a power cycle.  I have tested as much as I 
can but there appears no way
of obtaining any useful debug information from the Netgear, at least with my 
current state of knowledge.
The laptops just see a wifi connection termination, and the workstation 
monitoring the router status page
just sees an HTTP connection termination.

 Yes, this error has been reported against several other packages already,
 and appears to be a regression in libssl0.9.8.  Apologies for not catching
 this before it reached testing.

There were so many related changes in yesterday's update of testing it
was hard to know where to start with thinking about the problem!  It is
good in a sense that other packages have the problem so it is clearly
the libssl upgrade that is at the heart of it.  It means that there may
be nothing at all wrong with Courier.

A lot of people use Testing far fewer use Unstable so some things will
only get caught on the move to Testing -- that's why it is Testing!
However, I do have to admit that this one is rather surprising not to
have been caught in Unstable.  Hopefully the libssl people will find the
problem quickly.  At least they know it is in the 0.9.7 - 0.9.8 change.

Thanks for the prompt responses.  This is much appreciated.

And thanks for all your efforts on making Debian so easy to work with.

2005-10-24 Thread Russel Winder
Package: courier-imap-ssl
Version: 3.0.8-11
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


I run Debian GNU/Linux Testing.  My courier IMAP SSL system was
working fine.  I upgraded this morning 2005-10-24 and now for every
attempted connection, I get:

Oct 24 12:26:44 dimen imapd-ssl: couriertls: /etc/courier/imapd.pem:
error:25066067:DSO support routines:DLFCN_LOAD:could not load the
shared library

I am hoping that this is just a dependency problem relating to the
upgrade of libssl but...

In any event it completely stops the installation working.
