Thanks for maintaining vnstat.
I've been using it for three months and have
noticed that on some days, roughly once a week, it
records huge spikes in the traffic received and
transmitted.
The last spike was reported while a script ran

Thanks for maintaining Debian's gnuplot package.
I like it and use it.
I noticed that gnuplot is told the color of
*points* with *line* type, which is confusing.

Thanks for maintaining Debian's vim-gtk package. I
like it and use it.
I noticed that gvim occasionally hangs before
opening its X window. Pressing ^C doesn't kill the
process, but typing kill pid does.

I'm happy to report that changing the versions of
several packages, including going back to an
earlier version of festival, seems to have fixed
the problem.
My test script
counter=0; while echo $counter | festival --language americanenglish -b
--tts ; do counter=$(( counter + 1 )) ; done ;

Version: 0.13.4-5
Severity: important

Thanks for maintaining debian's rdiff-backup
package.
It's important.
Why would this command:
$ rdiff-backup -v9 --exclude /c \
--exclude /mnt/dos \
--exclude /mnt/dos_backup \
--exclude
Hi Daniel,
My mistake.
You were right. The target directory didn't exist.
I omitted the key word echo after running the
real rdiff-backup command and before reporting
rdiff-backup's return status.
Upshot: I ran it twice, and the second time with a
non-existant target directory.
Feel free to

Thanks for packaging gobby.
I've been waiting a lng time for a
whiteboarding application.
I noticed that when I typed

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
The following test still reproduces the bug for me.
$ counter=0; while echo $counter | festival --language americanenglish -b
--tts ; do counter=$(( counter + 1 )) ; done ; echo Crashed after $(( $counter
-1 )) runs.
It reports
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
It appears that rdiff-backup is crashing because a
special directory is missing
ERROR: cannot open `/mnt/backup/debian1/mnt/backup/palace/dev/.static' (No
such file or directory)

Package: rdiff-backup
Version: 1.1.15-2+b1
Severity: important
rdiff-backup is based on a good concept, and I've
used it for years.
However, for no apparent reason, it started
crashing three days ago.
Its stderr follows...
This is probably caused by a bug in versions 1.0.0 and earlier.
Hi,
It's still broken in version 1:2.4.0-5 of oowriter.
I duplicated the bug with the simple instructions
at the top of

I appreciate how easily it allows one to specify

Please allow multiple and overlapping colors.

If you're certain that envp is included in the
sum, then shouldn't the error message reflect that
it is?
