Bug#650380: postgresql-8.4: Unaligned output format not working correctly
Package: postgresql-8.4 Version: 8.4.8-0squeeze2 Severity: normal The unaligned output format of the psql command is only half functioning in this version. If you try psql -l as user postgres you see a list of databases in aligned and line wrapped format. To get a unaligned and line unwrapped format you can either use -P Unaligned or the -A switch normally. But this does not work here. The output is unaligned, BUT its NOT unwrapped, which makes it hard to script that output for example for backups. I tried to set the columns (-P columns=300) or COLUMNS=300 psql ... but this also does not work. I did not check the postgresql changelog but I did never experience this behavior on earlier versions. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.4-hardened-r2 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages postgresql-8.4 depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcomerr2 1.41.12-4stable1 common error description library ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.8.3+dfsg-4squeeze2 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - k ii libkrb5-3 1.8.3+dfsg-4squeeze2 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.23-7.2OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam0g 1.1.1-6.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpq5 8.4.8-0squeeze2 PostgreSQL C client library ii libssl0.9.80.9.8o-4squeeze3 SSL shared libraries ii libxml22.7.8.dfsg-2+squeeze1 GNOME XML library ii locales2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: National L ii postgresql-client- 8.4.8-0squeeze2 front-end programs for PostgreSQL ii postgresql-common 113 PostgreSQL database-cluster manage ii ssl-cert 1.0.28simple debconf wrapper for OpenSSL ii tzdata 2011k-0squeeze1 time zone and daylight-saving time postgresql-8.4 recommends no packages.

Bug#408174: exim4: header_sender test and group addresses: exim rejecting rfc-valid mails
Package: exim4 Version: 4.50-8sarge2 Severity: important in these days the setting verify = header_sender is very important IMO. But there is a bug in exim that can cause valid mail to be rejected. So you have two choices in the debian version of exim4: * configure exim to not check sender headers (allow users to use ([EMAIL PROTECTED] as From:, Sender: or Reply-To:) * let exim check headers but risc 100% valid mails being rejected so I consider this kind of serious. Maybe a backport of this fix would be a good idea? (affects sarge and etch and current sid, AFAICT) The Problem: as of RFC2822 it is valid to specify empty group addresses in a Reply-To: header like this: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Please do not reply:; But because of a bug in exim this will be rejected. This bug was fixed upstream in version 4.64. References/Details: http://www.exim.org/mail-archives/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20061009/msg00061.html ChangeLog of Exim 4.64: PH/18 Two problems with group syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being set at all for the header_verify test, causing group-style headers to be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_ verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct. kind regards -Marc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#300705: udev relies on /tmp to be a directory...
Package: udev Version: 0.054-3 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system Hi, after the last udev update my system did not come up anymore because udev failed to start and then no partitions but / had been found... The Problem: udev relies on /tmp to be a directory on startup. On my System /tmp is only a symlink to /var/tmp which made udev not start. Suggested solution: Do not use /tmp for temporary mounts on system start or test it to be a real directory. Maybe it would be better to create a temporary dir for startup: TMP=$(mktemp -d /udev-startup-XX) and then use $TMP to mount temp things instead of /tmp -Marc -- Package-specific info: -- /etc/udev/rules.d/: /etc/udev/rules.d/: insgesamt 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2004-12-05 11:05 cd-aliases.rules - ../cd-aliases.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2004-10-20 11:39 udev.rules - ../udev.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2005-03-17 13:05 z_hal-plugdev.rules - ../hal.rules -- /sys/: /sys/block/hda/dev /sys/block/hda/hda10/dev /sys/block/hda/hda11/dev /sys/block/hda/hda12/dev /sys/block/hda/hda1/dev /sys/block/hda/hda2/dev /sys/block/hda/hda5/dev /sys/block/hda/hda6/dev /sys/block/hda/hda7/dev /sys/block/hda/hda8/dev /sys/block/hda/hda9/dev /sys/block/hdc/dev /sys/block/hdd/dev /sys/block/sda/dev /sys/block/sda/sda1/dev /sys/class/graphics/fb0/dev /sys/class/input/event0/dev /sys/class/input/event1/dev /sys/class/input/event2/dev /sys/class/input/mice/dev /sys/class/input/mouse0/dev /sys/class/misc/agpgart/dev /sys/class/misc/nvram/dev /sys/class/misc/psaux/dev /sys/class/misc/rtc/dev /sys/class/misc/vmmon/dev /sys/class/misc/watchdog/dev /sys/class/printer/lp0/dev /sys/class/sound/adsp1/dev /sys/class/sound/adsp2/dev /sys/class/sound/adsp/dev /sys/class/sound/audio1/dev /sys/class/sound/audio2/dev /sys/class/sound/audio/dev /sys/class/sound/controlC0/dev /sys/class/sound/controlC1/dev /sys/class/sound/controlC2/dev /sys/class/sound/controlC3/dev /sys/class/sound/dmmidi/dev /sys/class/sound/dsp1/dev /sys/class/sound/dsp2/dev /sys/class/sound/dsp/dev /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/dev /sys/class/sound/midiC0D0/dev /sys/class/sound/midi/dev /sys/class/sound/mixer1/dev /sys/class/sound/mixer2/dev /sys/class/sound/mixer/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D0c/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D0p/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D1c/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D2c/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D2p/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC1D0c/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC1D0p/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC1D1c/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC1D1p/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC2D0c/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC2D1c/dev /sys/class/sound/timer/dev /sys/class/usb/hiddev0/dev /sys/class/video4linux/radio0/dev /sys/class/video4linux/vbi0/dev /sys/class/video4linux/video0/dev -- Kernel configuration: isapnp_init not present. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9 Locale: LANG=en_US, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) (ignored: LC_ALL set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Versions of packages udev depends on: ii hotplug 0.0.20040329-19 Linux Hotplug Scripts ii initscripts 2.86.ds1-1 Standard scripts needed for bootin ii libc62.3.2.ds1-20GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii makedev 2.3.1-77creates device files in /dev ii sed 4.1.4-2 The GNU sed stream editor -- debconf information: udev/devfs-warning: udev/reboot-warning: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#290050: bluez-utils: pairing with pin broken
Package: bluez-utils Version: 2.10-5 Severity: important Hi, I got a new mobile and had to re-pair it with my pc. Pairing BT devices with a pin seems completely broken. There are three security settings in hcid.conf: none/auto/user I tried auto and user auto should do something like cat /etc/bluetooth/pin to get the pin and auto should call the binary set with pin_helper Neither of them works. What I tried with setting auto: I tried file format 1234 and PIN:1234, result: My mobile asks me for a pin, then: hcid[8642]: pin_code_request (sba=00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, dba=00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) hcid[8658]: PIN helper exited abnormally with code 256 (BT ids hidden by me) Now I tried setting user which should start the bluez-pin app and show me the PIN dialog. But same error. No popup. Starting bluez-pin out 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx from console does work though... (so the bluez-pin app itself works) Then I created a little shell script to test: /usr/local/bin/bluez-pin: - #!/bin/bash echo $* /tmp/bluez-pin.args echo PIN:1234 - and set pin_helper /usr/local/bin/bluez-pin; in hcid.conf Result: now a link_key file gets created and connection to my mobile works. /tmp/bluez-pin.args contains out 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx which is fine, but: The file is owned by root (!). I think that may be the reason why no popup window appeard on my screen. root has no permission to write to my X screen.
