unmets in potato
Hi I just updated my potato system, so except of 9 Packages who got updated in the last 3 hours :-} I should have a system as it is represented by ftp.de.debian.org. I still have 4 unmet dependencies: python-base (interpret) depends on libdb1.85 libdb1.85 does not appear to be available pipsecd (non-US) depends on userlink userlink does not appear to be available wmanager (X11) depends on libgl libgl does not appear to be available libglide2-v3 (libs) depends on device3dfx-module device3dfx-module does not appear to be available I donnow if that's already known. To it, I had two file conflicts, where the packages were only installed due to my --force-overwrite. one in the tex section, but I sadly forgot by now which one it was :-( and the otherone with communikator 472: Unpacking netscape-java-472 (from .../netscape-java-472_4.72-15_all.deb) ... dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/netscape/472/netscape/java/classes/font.properties.ru', which is also in package netscape-base-472 ... Hope that helps growing a good potato :-) ... greatings -- Alexander N.

Hi Ship's Log, Lt. Steve Dunham, Stardate 160999.0113: /var 96M BTW, your /var might not be big enough to handle an upgrade from slink to potato. (Depending on whether the source of the packages is net or CD, I think.) That's right, but I think it might be more a 'bug' in apt-get then in the partitioning. I had problems with my 1GB /var when I tried to do a compleat upgrade within potato. Greetings -- Alexander N.

Re: GPG as a PGP replacement
Hi Ship's Log, Lt. Steve Haslam, Stardate 170599.1408: The gpg-pgp script and pgp2 compatibility hackage is in gpg-rsaidea, not gnupg (afaicr).

Re: GPG as a PGP replacement
Hi Ship's Log, Lt. Jason Gunthorpe, Stardate 120599.2134: Hi all, I have been doing some reasearch here and I have been able to determine that right now GPG represents (with the non-free RSA and IDEA modules) a functional replacement for PGP 2.x for both checking signatures and creating signatures. It is remarkably easy to do, I am surprised that someone else has not mentioned it.. Put this in your .gnupg/options file: load-extension rsa load-extension idea keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.pgp keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg keyring /home/jgg/.pgp/pubring.pgp secret-keyring /home/jgg/.pgp/secring.pgp oops .. have you looked at the debian gpg? It is actually a script callin gpg.gnupg (the binary) with exactly these options (except the debian-keyring) Greetings -- Alexander N.

Re: WARNING: Re: debhelper /usr/bin/passwd
hi Ship's Log, Lt. Brian May, Stardate 310199.1320: I have noticed this behaviour, too. However, at the time, I assumed the apt-get forced the file to be overwritten because the package I was installing was required/base (ldso from memory, but this problem has already been fixed). Now I am not so sure. Can you be certain that dselect doesn't give dpkg the --force-overwrite option? I experienced this beheaviour too with ssh/cfs which are both in non-US This is a very bad thing as the ssh of cfs is something compleatly diferent and should be renamed. Greetings -- Alexander N.

Re: Release notes for slink
hi Ship's Log, Lt. [EMAIL PROTECTED], Stardate 250199.2228: How about adding that the xvidtune program is in the xf86setup package? Some users may be confident enough about their X configuration not to bother installing xf86setup, and then miss xvidtune. If they are confident about there configuration, why are they interested in xdvitune? CAn it do anything besids configurating your X? Oh, ok .. maybe they want to reconfigure a bit l8r .. but then they should install a package to configure X ... :-) Greetings -- Alexander N.

Hi
Ship's Log, Lt. Tom Lees, Stardate 210199.2014:
The password is anonymous. Generate it like this:-
echo 'main(){printf(%s\n,crypt(password,tL));}'t.c; \
gcc -o t t.c -lcrypt; ./t; rm t t.c
I'd say perl -e 'print crypt(passwd,tL).\n' is much shorter :)

(or has it ? :) IIRC dpkg is one of debian's most bugiest programs, but, that's only my opinion, only because nearly everyone is interestenin developing it.
