Re: How safely to stop using backports repo?

If backports is still in the sources.list: aptitude -F %p search ~S~i~Alenny-backports or aptitude -F %p search ~S~i~OBackports.org or... Ooops, after comparing both results I realized that I still have the old debian-backports-keyring from etch-backports installed ;) So I refined my preferences to Package: * Pin: origin www.backports.org Pin-Priority: 777 which upgrades already installed packages but doesn't install all packages from backports when doing an aptitude safe-upgrade (I'm using such an odd Pin-Priority to distinguish my own preferences clearly in apt-cache policy). btw: The reference for the search patterns is included in the package aptitude-doc-en (and a few other language codes).

Re: Spyware / Adware
Davide Prina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Under GNU/Linux I never see a program with some Adware/Spyware, all program I have see are free software, but all come with source so it is very hard to hide a SpyWare or an Adware. So I think that GNU/Linux is free of this type of pests if you use only free software. Probably there are some non free software that run under GNU/Linux that can have on it some of these. Technically spoken there are some programs in debian (and also in every other dist) which have at least a spyware component, e.g. phone home configs and/or hardware of your computer. And there's also a dedicated spyware-package: popularity-contest One difference to the windows spyware programs is that (hopefully) nobody earns money with the gathered data. Also afaik all that programs require a confirmation from the user before phoneing home. But that's also the case in most windows spyware programs, for example if you install the free version of kazaa it will also install the KMD Ad Support, but that's clearly stated in the licence agreement.

If a resond to it, I get in 'mutt' the error Message: sendmail: 550 Error: Message content rejected The message from Russel had Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 and Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit but iso-8859-1 doesn't fit in 7-bit ;-) Beside that I see no unusal things in Russel's mail. To me it looks like a bug in kmail, an mua should 'nt send with the wrong encoding. Or did murphy change it to 7-bit because there wasn't any 8-bit content?
