Package: emacs24 Version: 24.4+1-5 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, A particular newsgroup breaks gnus in an irrecoverable way. Gnus cannot open a group with content from "gwene.com.fatwallet.hotdeals" from the news.gmane.org server (filed in bug# 797409). Two other gnus functions fail when

Bug#792532: lynx: w3m consistency would be nice

2015-07-24 Thread Jack Ryan
Package: lynx Version: 2.8.9dev1-2 Followup-For: Bug #792532 Andy, Thanks for the reply. In principle, I would not be fussy about how the fail-safe is implemented, so long as there is a means to fail safely. But I suggest that whatever the syntax is, it would be useful if it were consistent wit

Bug#792532: lynx: Add a CLI fail-safe option to specify a proxy (e.g. "--proxy")

Package: lynx Version: 2.8.9dev1-2 Followup-For: Bug #791452 I am the submitter. After more tests, there are perhaps multiple bugs here. I attempted to change test sites, because torstatus.blutmagie.de is a large document. These commands cause lynx to hang: env http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:81

Package: apt-transport-tor Version: 0.2.1-1 Severity: wishlist apt-transport-tor should use a separate tor circuit for each line in sources.list. Otherwise it may be possible for exit nodes to fingerprint systems based on the set of sources.lists lines they use. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debi
