Bug#997092: imapfilter: Version 2.7.5 appears to be packaged but is actually version 2.6.16
Package: imapfilter Version: 1:2.7.5-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, It appears that version of 2.7.5 of imapfilter in the Debian package archive is actually version 2.6.16. I've tried installing the binary package from the pool, as well as building the package from source, but it only results in 2.6.16. Inspecting the source also demonstrates that this is the case. Note that this is also true of the packages in the Ubuntu archive, FWIW, but I assume those are taken directly from Debian. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers focal-updates APT policy: (500, 'focal-updates'), (500, 'focal-security'), (500, 'focal'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-88-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages imapfilter depends on: ii libc6 2.31-0ubuntu9.2 ii liblua5.2-0 5.2.4-1.1build3 ii libpcre2-8-0 10.34-7 ii libssl1.1 1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.8 imapfilter recommends no packages. imapfilter suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

Bug#349974: aptitude -q=10 update does not behave as expected
Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.1-1 Severity: minor I was trying to find an aptitude equivalent to the apt-get command: apt-get -qq update which doesn't output anything on stdout (unless there is an error). The closest I could find was: aptitude -q10 update However, even when using an extreme value such as 10, aptitude still outputs: Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading extended state information... Initializing package states... Building tag database... Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading extended state information... Initializing package states... Building tag database... Technically speaking this is probably not a bug, more a wishlist item, as there's no guarantee as to what -q hides, but it seems consistent with most other commands that an excessive level of -q's should at least hide all normal (stdout) output. What do you think? One workaround, of course, is to use /dev/null. Thanks for your work on aptitude, it's a great tool!

However, in yafc, pressing Ctrl-C also disconnects from the server one is connected to. My thought is that if something is open (running) in a shell, ctrl-C kills it, so I hadn't personally found this behavior surprising. Would ctrl-U work for you? That's what I always use for erase the current line and start over. But I'm not sure if you're looking for something more here. I have to admit I didn't know about that. Having just tested it in bash and yafc, it does seem to do what I usually use Ctrl-C for, so I should probably get used to doing that. ctrl-D should only be exit on a blank line, methinks, as it is equivalent to end-of-file. Fair enough. Yafc uses readline, so is it also possible that you can setup the bindings you want by using .inputrc? If so maybe you can close this bug. Thanks. Fair point - didn't know that. Sounds like my 'wrong' behaviour would be configurable anyway if I wanted, although I'll try and get used to the right keybindings! Thanks for your help. I think you can close this bug.

However, in yafc, pressing Ctrl-C also disconnects from the server one is connected to. I'm not sure if this is intentional, but personally I find this very irritating and I am frequently disconnecting accidentally. I would have thought Ctrl-D is a more appropriate keymap, since this normally exits a shell. However, I appreciate that this may be design, so perhaps this bug is arguably wishlist.

Bug#315550: elinks: Doesn't save keybinding for ' correctly
Package: elinks Version: 0.10.4-7 Severity: normal Steps to recreate: 1. Delete or move ~/.elinks/elinks.conf out of the way. 2. Run elinks. 3. In the keybinding manager, set any action to the ' key. Confirm when warned that it's already in use. 4. Select 'Save', then 'Close'. 5. Exit elinks. 6. Run elinks again. At startup it will print a few messages about parse errors. I think this occurs because the ' key is not correctly escaped in elinks.conf when autosaved (unlike the \ key, which is correctly escaped with itself). If I edit elinks.conf between steps 5 and 6 and insert a \ directly before the ' so it looks like: bind main \' = my-action instead of: bind main ' = my-action there are no complaints and the key works as expected.

Bug#313417: aptitude: Does not remember package selection after install failure
On 2005-06-13 at 14:57 -0400, Daniel Burrows wrote: ... and when you start it, a big red dialog box appears with the message: W: Warning: could not lock the cache file. Opening in read-only mode Perhaps it should be doing that, but it certainly doesn't here. Maybe there's a configuration option that toggles that behaviour? I can't find one though. Is there anything I can do to trace why that might not be happening? However, that's not really the main thrust of the bug report: that was just example to recreate the bug. The point is that if aptitude cannot install packages for whatever reason (out of disk space, DB not lockable, a conflict, etc.), then it should retain the selections one has made: it's irritating to have them lost because of a problem with (potentially) just one package. Since this is a usability bug, though, I've no objections if you want to lower it to minor rather than normal.

Bug#313417: aptitude: Does not remember package selection after install failure
Package: aptitude Version: 0.2.15.9-2 Severity: normal To recreate: 1. Lock the dpkg database e.g. open a terminal, do apt-get install apackagename, and leave it sitting at the [Y/n] prompt. 2. Open another terminal, run aptitude. Select a single package to install and hit 'g'. The package is downloaded but then fails to install with the message 'dpkg: status database area is locked by another process'. This is OK. 3. Hit return. On the return to aptitude, the selected package is no longer selected. This is a big pain when selecting a whole bunch of packages for install/upgrade/purging or some combination of those, as when it doesn't work (which I think could be for any reason, not just the recreate example above), all your selections are lost. I consider this to be a usability bug; I was surprised that it wasn't already reported, but I couldn't find it in the open list of bugs. Thanks for your work on aptitude, it's a good tool!

Bug#313206: sox: Does not cope well with running out of disk space
Package: sox Version: 12.17.3-4woody2 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss I invoke sox in the following way: sox file.au file.wav sox runs out of disk space half-way through the conversion (as confirmed by a subsequent df), but appears to terminate normally: nothing is printed to stdout, and the return code is 0. The target file is definitely truncated, as can be easily discovered by playing it. I feel this indicates a grave problem as the user or a script might then decide to delete the source file file.au, perhaps permanently losing the latter part of the audio data from the file. Of course in theory they should check the contents of the target file, but this isn't always feasible, particularly during mass conversions. This bug is filed on a woody system, but I have checked the changelog in sarge and I can't see any obvious fixes to this problem. I can re-test this problem on sarge in about a week when I have time to upgrade my system, if necessary.

Bug#312328: xxdiff: 'copy file' in recursive diff copies to wrong directory
Package: xxdiff Version: 1:3.1-3 Severity: normal To recreate, create two directory structures: /tmp/a/ /tmp/a/b/ /tmp/a/b/c /tmp/a/b/d /tmp/a2/ /tmp/a2/b/ /tmp/a2/b/d The 'd' files are identical, but it doesn't matter exactly what the contents are. Invoke xxdiff: xxdiff -r /tmp/a /tmp/a2 xxdiff correctly shows b/c in green, and doesn't highlight the 'd' files because they are identical. However, if one right-clicks on b/c, and selects 'Copy left file to right', nothing seems to happen. Then quit xxdiff and re-start it with the same command. It is obvious (and this is backed up by looking at the contents of the filesystem), that c has been copied to /tmp/a2/. I'm not sure if this is the intended behaviour, but it's obviously not particularly useful if the directory structure in question is complex! I think there are two problems here: 1. xxdiff should copy files to the correct subdirectory. 2. It should update the file listings straight away to show that change, as it would if you were merging files (again, a look at the filesystem shows the file is copied instantly). Hope this helps. Thanks for packaging xxdiff - it's invaluable to me day-by-day!

Bug#310568: screen: Does not honour monitor toggle correctly when defmonitor is set
Package: screen Version: 4.0.2-2.backports.org.1 Severity: normal Note: I have also seen this bug with the standard woody version of the package, 3.9.11-5woody1. I upgraded to the latest backport from backports.org to see if this fixed it but exactly the same bug occurs. With 'defmonitor on' in my ~/.screenrc, the C-a M keystroke produces the message 'Window n (blah) is no longer being monitored for activity' (and this matches up with the subsequent behaviour - the window is not monitored and no messages ever appear whilst other windows are selected). However, if I press the keystroke again, the same message appears and the window is still not monitored, contrary to the manpage which says the C-a M keystroke toggles the state. The only way to monitor the window now is to type ':monitor on'. With 'defmonitor on' commented out in ~/.screenrc, this bug does not occur - the monitor state starts out as off and the keystroke toggles it correctly. I'm not sure if this bug affects other toggled options.

Package: dpkg Version: 1.10.27 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/sbin/update-alternatives Although update-alternatives is a handy utility, the help text that appears when you execute it without arguments is a little confusing and ambiguous, in my humble opinion - it took me a while to figure out exactly what it meant. Currently at the bottom it says: name is the name in /etc/alternatives. path is the name referred to. link is the link pointing to /etc/alternatives/name. priority is an integer; options with higher numbers are chosen. Instead, how about: link is the symlink pointing to /etc/alternatives/name. (e.g. /usr/bin/pager) name is the master name for this link group. (e.g. pager) path is the location of one of the alternative target files. (e.g. /usr/bin/less) priority is an integer; higher numbers have higher priority in automatic mode. Although this is a bit wordier, I feel it would be an improvement. Perhaps a better example could be chosen, but I think it definitely helps one's understanding. I'd appreciate your comments.

Package: gnome-media Version: 2.8.0-0.2 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/gnome-cd I noticed that gnome-cd puts an icon in the Panel Notification Area.

Bug#275410: rootstrap: Could drop entirely?
Package: rootstrap Version: 0.3.21-1 Followup-For: Bug #275410 I think it might be better if the dependency on user-mode-linux was dropped entirely. From kernel 2.6.9 onwards, the UML patch is integrated into the kernel, and thus the user-mode-linux package is not needed at all. Plus rootstrap has other uses valid without UML, as the description admits: Rootstrap was originally written to provide a facility for building filesystems for use with User-mode Linux, but can be useful in other applications as well. Maybe it should be moved to Recommends/Suggests?

Bug#291973: RFP: gaim-osd -- Allow Gaim to display several notification messages in an 'on-screen display' manner
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: gaim-osd Version : 1.0.0-1 Upstream Author : ? * URL : http://gaimosd.sourceforge.net/ * License : GPL Description : Allows Gaim to display several notification messages in an 'on-screen display' manner On-screen display overlays shaped text on your screen; it has a similar effect as a television's on-screen volume controls, etc. The XOSD library makes this ability possible. Gaim OSD is an implementation of the XOSD library, allowing Gaim to display several notification messages. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable'), (50, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#290885: qtparted: Keyboard shortcuts incorrectly shown
Package: qtparted Version: 0.4.4-3 Severity: minor When I run qtparted (under my Gnome 2.8 desktop), the keyboard accelerators (underlines) on the main menu are correctly shown (i.e. a line under the F of File, the O of Operations, etc.). However, when opening one of these menus, a symbol prefixes the accelerator letter for each item on the menu rather than an underline under the letter. Pressing the relevant key doesn't seem to work either. Unfortunately taking a screen shot of this doesn't seem to work.
