Hi, Zitat von Helge Kreutzmann deb...@helgefjell.de: Would you be willing to relicense this locale to a proper license, e.g. (L)GPL v2 or higher or another free software license of your choice?

Bug#555168: Unclear license situation for (e)glibc locales provided by you
Hello, you are listed as contact person/author of the following locale: yi_US This locale comes with a statement % Distribution and use is free, also % for commercial purposes. Thus it does not allow modification; it is unclear, however, if this statement was meant as a license. As discussed in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=555168 this locale could strictly speaking not be part of Debian which would be a great loss. (Currently it is allowed pending investigation). To properly resolve this, I would like to ask you the following question: Would you be willing to relicense this locale to a proper license, e.g. (L)GPL v2 or higher or another free software license of your choice? If you have any questions regarding this issue, do not hesitate to contact me (via the reply-to address set). Thanks for helping to resolve this!

Bug#679828: libc6: No easy way of enabling DNSSEC validation aka RES_USE_DNSSEC
Package: libc6 Version: 2.13-34 Severity: Serious Tags: security Hi! I am submitting this report as there seems to be no easy way to get DNSSEC validation happening for all DNS lookups. This is a litmus test to make sure we cover this matter, or see if we have an easy procedure in wheezy to enable client DNSSEC validation. With the DNS root zone now signed, and .org and .net, and many soon to be done country specific TLDs, there does not appear to be any easy way of taking advantage of this in wheezy or sid. From my investigations this can only be enabled by recompiling each bit of software to set the RES_USE_DNSSEC flag in _res.options, as well as RES_USE_EDNS0. (Please see racoon bug #679483). The enablement method is from openssh 6.0p1, openbsd-compat/getrrsetbyname.c Please create a resolv.conf flag so that RES_USE_DNSSEC is available to the systems administrator, and maybe a debconf screen to select it. This is about proactively avoiding DNS spoofing and securing against it.

This looks like your dpkg database is corrupted, or at least not in sync with the files installed in your system. Can you please provide us the contents of all the files named /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6*.list ? Ping ? Sorry for the lack of response ! Unfortunately I have reinstalled the system using the CUT installation CD (http://cut.debian.net/) and it works like a charm ! I received your first mail just after my reinstall and I haven't any copy of the old /var :( I think you can close that bug. Ok, thanks for the answer, doing that with this mail. I will reopen it if it happened again and in that case I will save the /var/lib to have some post mortem datas. Ok, though I hope it won't happen to you again.
