Bug#1036586: pipewire-pulse: Music garbled, faint, and generally unusable when switching from pulseaudio to pipewire-pulse
Package: pipewire-pulse Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: ncn_flos...@fastmail.fm Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Switching from pulseaudio daemon to pipewire-pulse * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Switching from pulseaudio daemon to pipewire-pulse * What was the outcome of this action? Music, using Audacious or anything else, breaks. It's garbled and faint. Doesn't matter whether I use the "pulseaudio" backend in audacious (now feeding through pipewire) or the direct "Pipewire" backend. * What outcome did you expect instead? Music keeps sounding normal Music sounds fine if I uninstall pipewire-pulse and reinstall pulseaudio. (Which I did before filing this bug.) This is pretty weird. It renders pipewire unusable for me. I've never had a previous sound system change break catastrophically like this, so it seems like there's some really serious problem in pipewire. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-security'), (500, 'unstable') merged-usr: no Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-9-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages pipewire-pulse depends on: ii init-system-helpers 1.65.2 pn pipewire Versions of packages pipewire-pulse recommends: pn wireplumber | pipewire-media-session-pulseaudio Versions of packages pipewire-pulse suggests: pn libspa-0.2-bluetooth ii pulseaudio-utils 16.1+dfsg1-2+b1
Bug#986318: inform6-compiler: Actually, upon retesting, the benefits come from using -O2
Package: inform6-compiler Version: 6.33-2+b1 Followup-For: Bug #986318 X-Debbugs-Cc: ncn_flos...@fastmail.fm Dear Maintainer, I retested and realized that most of the benefits come not from -flto, but simply from -O2 (or the nearly-equivalent -Og if you want better debugging information). No optimization flags seem to be used per default during the construction of the currently installed package, much to my surprise. So please amend this report: please compile with -O2 or -Og to cut running time for the inform6 program in half. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-security') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-4-rt-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages inform6-compiler depends on: ii libc6 2.31-9 Versions of packages inform6-compiler recommends: ii frotz [zcode-interpreter] 2.53+dfsg-1 ii gargoyle-free [zcode-interpreter] 2019.1.1-2 ii inform6-library6.12.2+dfsg.1-1.1 ii sdlfrotz [zcode-interpreter] 2.53+dfsg-1 Versions of packages inform6-compiler suggests: pn inform-mode pn inform6-doc -- no debconf information

Bug#592719: This is grave.
This bug is grave (I've adjusted its severity accordingly). It breaks unrelated packages entirely. I have this problem too. The failure mode is quite cryptic. Killing udisks-daemon is the only way to fix it, though I have not tried the patch attached to #592719. Since this is grave, I suggest that the maintainers try the patch which was attached to #592719 three months ago. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#585448: This is grave
severity 585448 grave thanks This bug renders apt-listbugs unusable the moment it triggers (hence, grave) and requires that apt-listbugs be disabled completely in order to run apt. Once the bug triggers, there's no way to work around it other than disabling apt-listbugs and upgrading without seeing the RC bugs, because the updates will continue to be too large the moment they are once too large. It's been sitting unfixed for nearly a year, so clearly important wasn't enough to get anyone's attention. I hope this can be tracked down, it should be easy to figure out why it's not closing files when it should. -- Nathanael Nerode ncn_mail10 at fastmail.fm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#601432: RM: fkiss -- ROM; Package dead upstream, functional alternatives available
Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal At the time I adopted this package, it was already dead upstream, but there were no functional alternatives available. Since then gnomekiss has stopped crashing routinely and now appears to be a generally superior alternative. The codebase for fkiss is not clean. Upon looking at it again, and with the development of a working alternative, I do not think it is wise to attempt to maintain it further. Apologies for not doing this earlier.

Bug#578931: dselect: Dselect seems not to parse version numbers correctly
Package: dselect Version: 1.15.5.6 Severity: important git-all Depends: git ( 1:1.7.0.5), git ( 1:1.7.0.5-.) As far as dselect is concerned, this condition is satsified by *no* version of git, and git-all and git can't be installed simultaneously. Unfortunately, dpkg --compare-versions thinks differently (it believes that 1:1.7.0.5-1 fits between the two versions). The incompatibility is making dselect practically unusable. I hate aptitude due to its dreadful user interface, and a while back I was willing and able to maintain dselect if it could be disentangled from its Siamese-twin relationship with dpkg. However, SOME people, who REFUSED to maintain dselect themselves, were very insistent that dselect was more than a front end. It's a goddamned front end. Only it's *BROKEN* because nobody was willing to hand it over to anyone who would maintain it.

Bug#532883: dolphin does NOT have an open folders in new windows option
(OK, bug unarchived, now the message should get through...) Just installed KDE 4.2.4. NO, dolphin does NOT have an option to open every folder in a new window automatically when you double-click. (Macintosh c. 1984 style.) The equivalent of Konqueror's Open folders in separate windows option. I went through every single option under Settings. This makes dolphin UNUSABLE as a file browser for me. And I don't appreciate being lied to about features, either, like the people who claimed that dolphin already has this feature did. ...But what is MUCH MUCH WORSE, Konqueror's Open folders in separate windows option just BROKE with KDE 4.2.4. I reported this as a separate bug, though I suspect it may be related. This means KDE has *NO USABLE FILE MANAGER*.

I suggest fixing the postinst to clean up after the versions with .conf as well. -- Package-specific info: -- /etc/udev/rules.d/: /etc/udev/rules.d/: total 84 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root12 2005-12-29 20:21 000_ncn.rules - ../ncn.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root19 2005-12-29 20:21 025_libgphoto2.rules - ../libgphoto2.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1137 2008-10-01 13:05 65_dmsetup.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 671 2006-10-03 16:00 70-persistent-cd.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 383 2009-04-26 16:35 70-persistent-net.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 109 2008-08-12 05:37 z60_boinc-client.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root15 2006-07-18 00:32 z60_hdparm.rules - ../hdparm.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2656 2009-04-04 17:48 z60_libpisock9.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1152 2009-05-06 08:36 z60_libsane-extras.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 55330 2009-05-14 06:46 z60_libsane.rules -- /sys/: /sys/dev /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0C0C:00/input/input1/event1/dev /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXPWRBN:00/input/input0/event0/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/admmidi/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/adsp/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/amidi/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/audio/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/controlC0/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/dmmidi/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/dsp/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/hwC0D0/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/hwC0D2/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/midiC0D0/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/midiC0D1/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/midiC0D2/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/midi/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/mixer/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/pcmC0D0c/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/pcmC0D0p/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/pcmC0D1c/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/pcmC0D2c/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/pcmC0D2p/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:07.0/sound/card0/pcmC0D3p/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:0a.0/host1/target1:0:4/1:0:4:0/block/sda/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:02:0a.0/host1/target1:0:4/1:0:4:0/bsg/1:0:4:0/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.1/ide0/0.0/block/hda/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.1/ide0/0.0/block/hda/hda2/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.1/ide0/0.0/block/hda/hda4/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.1/ide0/0.0/block/hda/hda5/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.1/ide0/0.0/block/hda/hda6/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.1/ide0/0.0/block/hda/hda7/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.1/ide1/1.0/block/hdc/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.2/usb1/1-0:1.0/usb_endpoint/usbdev1.1_ep81/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.2/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/usb_endpoint/usbdev1.2_ep81/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3:1.0/0003:04B3:3018.0001/hidraw/hidraw0/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3:1.0/input/input4/event4/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3:1.0/usb_endpoint/usbdev1.3_ep81/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3:1.1/0003:04B3:3018.0002/hidraw/hidraw1/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3:1.1/input/input5/event5/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3:1.1/usb_endpoint/usbdev1.3_ep82/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/usb_device/usbdev1.3/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/usb_endpoint/usbdev1.3_ep00/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.4/1-1.4:1.0/0003:06CB:0009.0003/hidraw/hidraw2/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.4/1-1.4:1.0/input/input6/event6/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.4/1-1.4:1.0/input/input6/mouse1/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.4/1-1.4:1.0/usb_endpoint/usbdev1.4_ep81/dev /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1f.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.4/1-1.4:1.1/0003:06CB:0009.0004/hidraw/hidraw3/dev

Bug#389430: Commenting on the add-on debs issues...
Got back to looking at these bugs to see if you'd ever followed up and realized that you ran down a dead end: Frans Pop pointed out: - You cannot add an override suite that is on a different mirror This seems relevant in your use case. I'd guess it would be nice to be able to use a standard Debian mirror for regular components and an HP mirror for the add-ons. May be a lot more complex to implement though. Actually, I implemented that with my original patches. So it's not that complicated to implement, at least using my approach rather than dann's. See bugs 405888 and 405886 in conjunction with this one. In effect, it becomes possible to invoke anna an arbitrary number of times with different network repositories. The crucial point was to invoke choose-mirror separately for each addon. This means you can't just iterate over suite, you actually have to iterate over net-retriever-core. Notably, the udeb dependency system at the time I implemented the patch would rerun choose-mirror every time net-retriever-core was reloaded. (If that has changed, then I was relying on a bug...) This makes the run parallel in structure to runs of floppy-retriever, which can check for a new floppy every time. If nobody is willing to actually take a look at my patches, perhaps you'd at least consider the analysis I put into it. My approach works better than dann's because it was designed properly. Design first, then code, as Joey Hess wrote? -- Nathanael Nerode [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bush admitted to violating FISA and said he was proud of it.

Bug#498948: fontconfig: Proposal for single run of fc-cache per apt-get run
Package: fontconfig Version: 2.6.0-1 Severity: wishlist So I just installed a bunch of fonts and BOY IS IT SLOW. There are two things going on. (1) Updating fontconfig cache for /usr/share/fonts/... (2) Regenerating fonts cache #2 is done independently by a very large number of font packages calling HOME=/root fc-cache -f -v 1/var/log/fontconfig.log 21 #1 is done by a large number of packages calling defoma-font --reregister-all /etc/defoma/hints/XXX.hints which ends up calling /usr/share/defoma/scripts/fontconfig.defoma, which calls fc-cache -f and fc-cache -s *TWICE*. So fc-cache can be run four or more times *per font installation*. And it actually needs to be run precisely once per apt-get run. The obvious way to fix this is dpkg triggers. fontconfig should have a trigger on any change to /usr/share/fonts which causes it to regenerate the cache. fontconfig.triggers would look like this: interest /usr/share/fonts And fontconfig.postinst would be patched like this: --- fontconfig.postinst 2008-09-14 12:52:55.0 -0400 +++ fontconfig.postinst.new 2008-09-14 12:54:27.0 -0400 @@ -37,6 +37,8 @@ done printf done.\n fi +fi +if [ $1 = configure ] || [ $1 = triggered ] # Force regeneration of all fontconfig cache files. mkdir -p /var/cache/fontconfig printf Regenerating fonts cache... This would allow bugs to be filed on all packages (except fontconfig and defoma) which run fc-cache in postinst, to just remove those explicit invocations. That would speed things up quite a bit. This should be done *now*. --- The interaction with defoma is much trickier and a much larger problem. First of all, defoma *could* be invoked on a nonstandard directory, which would require a hand run of fc-cache. It could also be invoked by hand for locally installed fonts in /usr/local or the user's home directory. Second, the current fontconfig.defoma script does something very ugly in its 'term' subroutine. It runs fc-cache, then blows away /var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d/fonts.conf, then runs fc-list to determine the accessible font directories without defoma, then rebuilds /var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d/fonts.conf, then runs fc-cache AGAIN. This is hideous and very, very slow. I don't see any way to avoid this when using locally installed fonts, for which it is pretty much doing the right thing. There's got to be some way to bypass this for packaged fonts, however. I figure we can simply detect whether we're dealing with a subdirectory of /usr/share/fonts, and assume that we're in a 'packaged' situation then, and if not, assume that we're not. I almost finished a patch to do exactly this, but I hit a problem. The problem is that the rebuilding of /var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d/fonts.conf *both* rebuilds the directory list (which we can just skip for fonts in the standard directories under /usr/share/fonts), *and* the aliases and substitutes lists (which I believe we *can't* skip -- if we can skip them, tell me and I'll attach the patch for fontconfig.defoma). I'm not currently seeing how to preserve the directory list while rebuilding the aliases and substitutes lists. If you could break the file into two pieces, one for the directories and one for the aliases and substitutions, it would be quite straightforward to rewrite fontconfig.defoma to skip all the tedious cache rebuilds when it's dealing with a font in /usr/share/fonts. (All such fonts should be handled by dpkg, and therefore we can rely on the trigger to rebuild the cache.) -- Nathanael Nerode (neroden at gcc dot gnu dot org) Versions of packages fontconfig depends on: ii fontconfig-config 2.6.0-1generic font configuration library ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfontconfig12.6.0-1generic font configuration library fontconfig recommends no packages.

Bug#429249: lirc-modules-source: Badly documented, doesn't work
Package: lirc-modules-source Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable This package is pretty much completely worthless on etch. If I follow the instructions from dpkg-reconfigure-source, or the instructions in the README, it builds some modules (with the wrong extension -- .o instead of .ko) and installs them in the wrong place (/lib/modules/usr/src/something), and even if they're moved to the right place and renamed modprobe still can't find them.

Bug#2297: Tested, verified in xterm, konsole
You can run trickle on a single machine by ssh'ing to localhost. :-) I can reproduce this behavior with xterm, getting the paste to come through after the return key even though the return key was hit first. konsole shows different, but very similar behavior: the fast konsole drops the paste request on the floor -- the paste never happens -- when the return key comes through ahead of the paste request. Which behavior is better? This does apply to pretty much every X application which handles paste requests; so I think this is a matter ofbest failure mode. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#2297: Able to reproduce, behavior of other terminal emulators, thoughts?
I tested this scenario with xterm, and reproduced it (thanks to trickle; incidentally it's actually possible to use trickle on a single machine: ssh from the machine to itself) Then I tested it with a fast konsole. Interestingly, I don't get exactly the same behavior. But I do get a similar bug. konsole drops the pasted text on the floor when the return key comes through first; it just gets lost. Is this better or worse behavior than xterm's behavior? Since this problem is common to all X apps which use selections, I think the best we can do is choose a best failure mode. This may well be a wontfix.

Bug#282283: Splitting dselect from dpkg -- acceptable plan?
OK. So I managed to construct a dselect source package which builds independently of dpkg. It required duplicating substantial portions of lib/ . I intend that to be temporary. Until those portions are gone, I will keep an eye on any changes made to lib/ in dpkg. My plan for dselect is to make dselect more fully based on apt, which should incidentally allow the removal/replacement of much of that code; but to add the build-deps needed, dselect has to become an independent package *first*. Is this an acceptable future path for dselect? Is the temporary forking of libdpkg considered acceptable? (One alternative is to make a real, shared libdpkg, but looking at it I don't really think that's a good idea.) If this is an acceptable transition path, I will polish up the new dselect package (initially with no significant code differences) and we can arrange for an appropriately coordinated upload; from then on dselect and dpkg can evolve separately. Let me know. Replies to bug trail and/or list please. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#418791: RFA: netdiag -- Net-Diagnostics (trafshow, strobe, netwatch, statnet, tcpspray, tcpblast)
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I am doing this on behalf of the maintainer, who wrote in bug 412777: Sorry, I haven't had much time to work on it. I'd happily give it to anyone who wants to take it over. I think most of the utilities in the package have been obsoleted, and I rarely use them.

It is of invaluable help if your system is showing strange network behaviour and you want to find out what your network is doing. The included tools are tcpblast, netload, trafshow, netwatch, strobe, statnet, and tcpspray. An adopter will probably want to deal with several issues at a minimum: - New upstream for trafshow (381993) - New upstream for netwatch (121541) - Many of the programs are dead upstream or have changed upstreams - lots and lots of old bugs (some which might already be fixed, and some of which might be fixed by the new upstreams) An adopter might actually want to remove the package and replace it with several independent packages based on the different new upstreams. :-) If there isn't any interest in adopting this package after a few months, I will probably request removal. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (499, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#12261: Followup, possible patch for second oldest bug in xterm
This bug still exists in current xterm, as far as I can tell.
The following untested patch implements Richard Braakman's suggestion from 1997,
slightly more portably.
Open questions:
(1) Where should the logging be closed?
(2) Is any additional portability goo needed to send this upstream (e.g. for
systems without termios.h)?
(3) Is anyone interested in testing it?
I assign these changes to the public domain, since they're trivial.

Bug#282283: Adopting dselect, or not
I love dselect and would like to take it over; I prefer it to aptitude -- but I'm not ready to take it over yet. The problem is that it currently has an incestuous relationship with the dpkg source. I am afraid to touch anything or do any cleanup for fear of breaking dpkg. If someone can manage to break this Siamese-twin relationship, so that dselect can build *after* dpkg (based on a fixed collection of headers exported by dpkg, and possibly some duplicated C files), rather than at the same time, then I would be happy to take it over. I'm also happy to help in severing the Siamese twins, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do so yet. I think separating the Siamese twins is worthwhile for dpkg as well. I guess I said something like this before. But if anyone can help in breaking the linkage, it would be really helpful.

Bug#370186: FINALLY got the workaround to work, after about 2 hours.
Steve Langasek wrote: I can't find a way to disable it using just the media_check_enabled flag, but adding the following to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi overrides the use of hald-addon-storage for my particular CD-ROM: device match key=info.product string=SD-R2512 merge key=info.addons type=strlist/merge /match /device That means hal will never be notified of media changes on that device at all. That would be quite good enough for me. After an exceptional amount of fiddling (hal seems to be very picky about its configuration files, and it doesn't report when it can't read them -- that should be logged, and it's not, and I filed a bug) I seem to have gotten it working. device match key=info.product string=HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8162B merge key=info.addons type=strlist/merge /match /device Now it spins up the drive when hal starts, for about 3 seconds, but then stops and behaves itself. This workaround seriously needs to be documented. I'm fairly adept, so I also managed to figure out where the script to restart hal is (NOT obvious), and that I had to match the string to a string in lshal (slightly more obvious), but I doubt an average user, even a technically adept one, would ever make it through this without help. And it is a *very* annoying problem. My CD-ROM drive doesn't just spin up, it spins up to top speed and stays there, which it doesn't even do when playing an audio CD or DVD. Doing this constantly is actually a *lot* more wear and tear than the drive is designed to receive; it's quite loud enough to be audibly obnoxious, as well. I think this is the workaround for a lot of similar bugs (#360554, perhaps?) and we already have two users reporting the problem (me and Steve) so this should be documented in README.Debian or somewhere else in /usr/share/doc/hal. If this is documented prominently, I think the bug can be closed, because the real bug is indeed in the hardware or the kernel and may be very difficult or impossible to work around. (FYI, hal is one of the least documented programs I've ever seen.) Suggested text, which I place in the public domain: -- Is hal keeping your CD-ROM or disk drive spinning constantly? This is a known problem related to the behavior of particular hardware. You can stop this behavior by disabling hald-addon-storage for that specific drive (this will also disable automounting and the other features of hal for that drive, of course). To do so, run 'lshal | more' and find the entry describing the troublesome drive -- you may have to guess which one it is, but it will probably have DVD or CD or something recognizable in it.

Bug#370186: Bug still grave
Only now *kdebase* depends on hal. Suxxor! I can reproduce the spinning problem in KDE, any time. This means that Juergen Lueters is on the wrong track. I don't like automounting and I have turned it off (it always behaves incorectly). It's not acceptable for HAL to misbehave when automounting is turned off, particularly when it's *required* by KDE. Did anyone get my HAL systrace log? It's huge. I have put it at http://home.twcny.rr.com/nerode/hal.logfile since it seems difficult to transfer it any other way. This bug IS RC and it is grave. You can't downgrade it, sorry. The best alternative if you can't fix the actual bug would be to provide an *easy* mechanism to *permanently* disable hald-addon-storage. If there was such a mechanism documented, then you could downgrade the bug. -- Nathanael Nerode [EMAIL PROTECTED] Theocracy, fascism, or absolute monarchy -- I don't care which it is, I don't like it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#406846: iceweasel: Copyright and license info for Debian packaging, including artwork, is missing

It was also rather irritating in that I had to do a fair bit of web research to work out the icon license and copyright, which I wanted to know for various reasons; this should be in the debian package.

Bug#405925: doc-debian: Please ship BYHAND versions (for ftp.debian.org/debian/doc) of many documents
Package: doc-debian Version: 3.1.3 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch The versions of various files in http://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/ are grossly out of date, as documented at bug 262425. The ftpmasters would like these files to be generated from a package as BYHAND files. This is the logical package from which to do so, as it contains the up-to-date version of nearly all of them (the exception is the dedication-2.2.* files), and it already has BYHAND processing.

Bug#342029: Giving you some motivation to deal with this
There are far bigger fish to fry; I don't imagine this will be a priority for me before significant headway is made in the archive wrt spurious dependencies on libs that *don't* have stable ABIs. If you do this, it will make it easier for me to *find* the most problematic of those libs so I can write patches for them. :-) I have been randomly working through lib* packages listed in checklib. The checklib output (http://rerun.lefant.net/checklib/) is polluted by a large number of useless dependencies on zlib (and a few other nonproblematic libraries), which can make it rather hard to sort through and find the really problematic useless dependencies. Many of the useless dependencies on zlib come from freetype, because freetype is *exporting* the bad zlib dependency to all its users. If some of these *heavily exported* useless dependencies were eliminated, it would make it a lot easier to see the actual scope of the problem with relation to libraries with unstable ABIs. A single useless dependency on a package with a stable ABI is no big deal; dozens or hundreds makes it hard to find the real problem cases. (I'm not currently prepared to write a program to reparse the data from checklib, but if bugs like this fester, I may have to waste a few days doing so.) It's like being lintian-clean. It's certainly of minor importance, but leaving it lying around is untidy and annoying; just do it next time you make an upload (after etch releases and testing unfreezes, that is, of course). If you had a lintian error in your package, would you make ten uploads over the course of a year without bothering to fix it? Of course you wouldn't. But that's what's been done with this bug. I think need to deal with it is absolutely correct.

Bug#405226: libcurl3: Please fix your pkg-config .pc file to use Libs.private
Package: libcurl3
Version: 7.15.5-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Currently libcurl3 (and libcurl3-gnutls) exports unnecessary dependencies
to every package using them via pkg-config. The Libs.private field means
this can be fixed:
see http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/11/msg00016.html
Curl is one of the larger sources of recursive dependency
disease and the related major problems in library transitions in Debian,
so fixing this should have some positive impact.
This bug is independent of the related bug to prevent *curl itself* from
having an unnecessary dependency on libcom_err. Both should be fixed, really,
but this one has a bigger impact.
Of course, you may want to wait until after etch releases.

current status please see: http://rerun.lefant.net/checklib/

Bug#392294: curl: Patch for unnecessary dependency
Package: curl Followup-For: Bug #392294 I fingered the wrong line in configure.ac last time. That's the line for curl builds against krb4. The following is the line for curl builds against krb5. This dependency is due to using krb5-config, which is a non-pkg-config config script of the sort discouraged by Steve Langasek and others who have looked into the issue. Perhaps that script in krb5 could be changed to use pkg-config at some later time, but it's an upstream script so maybe not. I believe the extraneous dependency can be removed by applying this patch and rebuilding 'configure'. (This is an untested patch but should be extremely safe. Any serious failure would show up at build time, while any 'unserious' failure would simply result in retaining the unneeded dependency.)

Bug#405233: libfltk1.1: Apparent unnecessary dependencies
Package: libfltk1.1 Severity: normal This is QA work designed to eliminate unneeded library dependencies, for the benefit of future transitions. See http://rerun.lefant.net/checklib for more information. It seems that libfltk1.1 has three unnecessary dependencies: libXext, zlib, and libGLU. Apparently the libfltk configure script was written assuming static linking and assuming that -dev packages might not have the proper dependencies installed. Which was reasonable for upstream, but isn't for Debian. zlib is included only for the benefit of libpng; I'm not sure what libXext and libGLU were included for, but they're clearly not needed for Debian. We want to eliminate the unneeded dependencies to help untangle future transitions into testing. This (untested) patch should do the trick: apply it and rerun autoconf. If it breaks anything, it should break horribly on the first build attempt, so there's little chance of silently generating a broken package. :-) This is a fairly minimal patch. A more aggressive patch would be able to remove the Build-Depends on libxext-dev and zlib1g-dev and possibly also on libglu1-mesa-dev, but I couldn't come up with that patch at this time. --- configure.in2007-01-01 19:02:55.0 -0500 +++ configure.in.new2007-01-01 19:43:49.0 -0500 @@ -478,8 +478,8 @@ AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBZ) ZLIBINC= ZLIB= -LIBS=-lz $LIBS -IMAGELIBS=-lz $IMAGELIBS, +LIBS=$LIBS +IMAGELIBS=$IMAGELIBS, if test x$enable_localzlib = xno; then ZLIBINC= ZLIB= @@ -647,7 +647,7 @@ AC_MSG_WARN(Ignoring libraries \$X_PRE_LIBS\ requested by configure.) fi - LIBS=$LIBS -lXext -lX11 $X_EXTRA_LIBS + LIBS=$LIBS -lX11 $X_EXTRA_LIBS CFLAGS=$CFLAGS $X_CFLAGS CXXFLAGS=$CXXFLAGS $X_CFLAGS LDFLAGS=$X_LIBS $LDFLAGS @@ -670,7 +670,7 @@ AC_CHECK_HEADER(GL/glu.h, AC_DEFINE(HAVE_GL_GLU_H) if test x$ac_cv_lib_GL_glXMakeCurrent = xyes; then - GLLIB=-lGLU $GLLIB + GLLIB=$GLLIB fi if test x$ac_cv_lib_MesaGL_glXMakeCurrent = xyes; then GLLIB=-lMesaGLU $GLLIB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#405238: libgcrypt11-dev: Please consider switching to pkg-config or similar
Package: libgcrypt11-dev Severity: wishlist Currently libgcrypt11-dev ships with a libgcrypt-config which causes trouble for Debian. It spreads unnecessary dependencies on libgpg-error0 all the way up the dependency chain to every package which uses it. While this is basically a bug in each of those packages (they shouldn't be using libgcrypt-config), it is rather tedious to fix it in all those packages, because the fixes cannot go upstream. If libgcrypt11-dev used pkg-config with Libs.private (or provided a libgcrypt-config which understood shared libraries), then the other packages could switch to using pkg-config for libgcrypt, a change which *could* go upstream. For background, see http://rerun.lefant.net/checklib/ . If libgpg-error ever changes soname, there will be a world of hurt for transitions to testing, and it's all caused by libgcrypt-config.

Bug#405242: libraptor1-dev: Please use Libs.private in raptor.pc
Package: libraptor1-dev
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Currently, you're exporting unnecessary dependencies to all of
the users of raptor who use pkg-config. Such as liblrdf0, which
is where I found this bug. By fixing the raptor.pc file, you
will stop doing this, and the packages depending on raptor will
no longer have to be rebuilt when curl, libidl, libssl, libcrypto,
libdl, libxml2, etc. change. This is a Very Good Thing and will
simplify transitions to testing in future.
See http://rerun.lefant.net/checklib/ for substantially more
information about this problem.
This patch is untested but should work. If you happen to know
that raptor reexports part of the interface of one of the libraries
it uses, than that library needs to be in Libs rather than
Libs.private. That is very abnormal and I don't expect it.

Bug#353361: Dependency on libssl is unnecessary
retitle 353361 Drop unnecessary dependencies thanks It turns out that the dependency on libssl and several other libraries is a *mistake*, and is due to recursive dependency disease. See http://rerun.lefant.net/checklib/log.liblrdf0_0.4.0-1.html for the list of unneeded dependencies, and http://rerun.lefant.net/checklib has lots of information on how to fix this. Trust me, you want to fix this: then people will stop asking you to rebuild the package. :-) However, you appear to be inheriting your problems from raptor; I've filed a bug there. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#390978: Yes, I can reproduce
Yes, I can reproduce this bug with 2.6.18-3-686. I've worked around it permanently by adding the line blacklist ehci_hcd to the file modprobe.d/ncn so if you need any testing you'll have to ask. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#224469: Can ftpmasters do ONE SIMPLE THING?
Namely, fix bug #224469. It's really trivial and it's been waiting for over three years now. This is just STUPID.
