When detecting network drivers I received a prompt saying my network
card requires non-free firmware and to please supply it. I chose 'no'
as I didn't have the firmware handy but then it said I had no network
devices installed so I
Yes, it does. I'm still missing some information, though. Could you
send the output of pmount (only, without arguments/options) when the
device is mounted ?
$ pmount
Printing mounted removable devices:

Hi Vincent,
Could you be a bit more precise, please ? Which is the mount point of
the devices ? Are they removable ? What does
pumount -d device
tell you ?
This is what happens when I connect a USB flash drive:

Package: pmount
Version: 0.9.17
When pmount is SGID and a device is mounted through a udev hotplug event, the
mountpoint is owned by the same user and group as the pmount executable
(root:plugdev on my system.)
This is fine, but if I want to unmount the device manually before unplugging
it, I

Severity: minor
When typing 'tar jcvf' and using tab to autocomplete, the autocomplete ignores
files without .bz2 extensions. For example, if you rename an archive to
really-long-filename.tar.bz2.old (adding .old onto the end), when you try to
recreate the archive by
For example, if you rename an archive to
really-long-filename.tar.bz2.old (adding .old onto the end), when you try to
recreate the archive by typing tar jcvf reallytab (intending to delete the

from scratch.

There is a bug in this version of swh-plugins which causes Firefox to crash on

The LV2 port of these plugins has had the problem fixed
Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.28-2
lighttpd ships with a line in the default config which calls
/usr/share/lighttpd/use-ipv6.pl, the idea being to bind to port 80 on any
IPv6 interface, if present.
Unfortunately this has two drawbacks:
1) You are forced to have IPv6 on, even when
Could I please request that this line be moved into its own script in
/etc/lighttpd/conf-available/ instead, so that enabling or disabling IPv6
support can be toggled on and off with a symlink, like the other options?
This way the default config file would not have to be altered to change IPv6
I discussed your bug report with Olaf and we came to the conclusion that
having core settings like server and socket setup in
conf-available/-enabled is the wrong approach. This setup is merely for
module setup and configuration for our own and other package
maintainer's modules.
We just can't
I get your point, but I consider every setting in /etc specific to
Debian, but yet allowed and suggested to be changed by the user.
Note, we don't distinguish between settings supposed to be changed by
users and those considered a distribution specific detail. Of course it
does not make too much
It is a limitation I think of any/every configuration control system.
Why can't it show the diff / update like dpkg does?
It could, but because it's designed to control large numbers of machines it
would need some careful planning to avoid showing the same/similar diff dozens
of times.
Thanks both for your replies, I have responded to both below.

Those people using a configuration management system like Puppet
won't get to see dpkg's nice output, and will have to merge the changes by
hand in their repos and push them out to all
Why can't it show the diff / update like dpkg does?
nobody has done it yet.
So how does it handle updated conf files?
I'm not entirely sure. It runs dpkg in non-interactive mode, which means it
would either overwrite configs without asking (and then overwrite them again

what should we do here? I conclude that neither Olaf nor I are
particularly thrilled from your idea. On the other hand I can also see
how you have some valid points - despite of a very specific use case you
have.
Hence I guess its decision time. Any proposals?
Hmm, do you have anything
but at least in this case the files will
both be small enough that it shouldn't really be a problem in practice.
Shouldn't? Really? Those qualifications indicate potential problems.
Not really, it just means that there will be some small number of users who
will need to do things
Otoh it is true that probably not all platforms would provide a similar
config, so i'm not sure how useful this is for puppet users.
perhaps it would be better to extract those settings from the current config

I discovered a mistake in the libmariadb-dev-compat package. The
