Bug#381800: lintian: [checks/scripts] unjustified possible-bashism-in-maintainer-script
Package: lintian Version: 1.23.22 Severity: normal Currently, lintian reports the shell construct 'if [[ ... ]]' as bashism. I am not sure this is correct, since all POSIX 1003.2 resources available to me declare '[[' and ']]' a standard conditional expression check in POSIX sh (don't confuse with older Bourne sh). See, for example: http://www.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/doc/man/hpux/sh-posix.1.html http://web.gat.com/docview/sh-posix.html Once this is fixed, as a side effect, lintian will allow compound conditional expressions, like 'if [[ ... ... || ... ]]', which are not allowed right now (lintian claims that '[['' is a bashism, it also bans 'if [ ... -a ...]' and 'if [ ... ... ]' is syntactically incorrect anyway).

Bug#381804: dhelp: misleading name of browser customization file on configuration screen
Package: dhelp Version: 0.5.23 Severity: minor When (re)configured, dhelp provides the following example for browser customization: echo galeon ~/.dhelp/www-browser-x. While the trailing dot here is correct according to the English punctuation rules, it results in a wrong filename, so people trying to perform such a customization will end up creating a wrong filename. Please consider either putting a blank between the filename and the trailing dot or removing the dot altogether.

Bug#381805: dhelp: incorrect list of available browsers
Package: dhelp Version: 0.5.23 Severity: normal When (re)configured, dhelp offers me three browsers to choose from: epiphany konqueror mozilla ..while the list of available browsers in the system is different: $ sudo update-alternatives --list x-www-browser /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/epiphany /usr/bin/konqueror dhelp should either offer the list of browsers based on available alternatives or (even better) just use the default alternative via the generic name x-www-browser .

Bug#375314: xboard fails to start: X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
I'm still trying to reproduce it in a fairly clean Sid installation and still unable to reproduce. Googling shows that the majority of cases associated w/ X_OpenFont error are due to a corrupted font database. I think, I might need more help from you: 1. You seem to be running KDE. Could you try running xboard in a Gnome session? KDE by default does some nasty things to make regular X clients follow it's choice of colors/fonts. 2. Please run the following shell script and if the output log does contain an X protocol error message, please attach it to the bug entry. xlsfonts | while read font; do echo font is $font xterm -fn $font -e true 21 done run.log Thanks -- Sasha -- Alexander L.

Bug#375314: xboard fails to start: X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
So far, I was unable to reproduce the failure. However, I didn't use a full Sid installation - only Etch and/or chroot'ed Sid. Still, let's try to troubleshoot it. I assume it's still a problem, right? 1. Could you please attach a full output of 'env'? 2. Same request for 'xlsfonts' output. 3. For one of the X clients that: a. Does use fonts b. Still works; and c. Has a resource file in /etc/X11/app-defaults/ Could you please temporarily move the resource file someplace and try to launch the client to see if it would break it?

Bug#163093: xboard: refuses to start on a 8bit $DISPLAY
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
I was able to both reproduce the bug and to program a fix. I will need
some time to wrap my head around Debian packaging and will release the
fixed version with RFS. For those impatient, here's the patch :-)
=
diff -r xboard.new/xboard-4.2.7/xboard.c xboard.debug/xboard.c

if (forceMono || appData.bitmapDirectory[0] != NULLCHAR) {
=
The patched version will then need to be run with the bitmap directory
specified.
Once again, this is all very preliminary but this is basically the
gist of it.
