 Does anyone know (not that this is real Debian specific) of a program

 3-of-9 barcode?

Yes, it's called xbar211.english.tgz or XBarcode and it can do the
following conversions:

 barcode   output
   * EAN13, EAN8  * PPM
   * UPC  * GIF
   * CodeABar * PCX
   * Code 128 * PBM
   * Code 3/9 * LaTeX
   * Code 2/5 * Postscript
   * Code 2/5 Matrix
   * Code 2/5 Interleaved
  
I don't know where I found it, so you'll have to look for yourself,
but it's out there.

I'm more interested in a program that does the reverse. Given a
gif/jpg/tiff generate the barcode numbers, but I've been unable to
find such a program.

RE: Packages lists kernel-image-1.99.7?

[Jeroen Gommans]

Hi,

I was wondering why the Packages file in ..debian/buzz/binary still lists 
the 1.99.7 kernel image and source. Below is an excerpt from the Packages
file:

-r--r--r--   1 67   1002  316306 Jun 15 00:18 Packages

I think that that is the problem. The package file is from June the
15th, but the new kernel image is from June the 16th. The same for
some other packages newer than June the 15th.  I guess the Packages
file is outdated and should be updated.
