I managed to fix dpkg's database by adding the following LSB header and running 
insserv:
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:  OpManagerServer
# Required-Start:$remote_fs $named
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $named
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:  0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start or stop ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer
### END INIT INFO

I do not know if this is a condition to trigger this bug, but I notice that 
/etc/init.d/OpManagerServer is a symlink to
/opt/ManageEngine/OpManager/bin/na_service.

Jessie's version, i.e. 1.14.0-5.

Bug#587587: Persists, affects ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer

[Philippe Cloutier]

This seems to persist in jessie, and seems to affect ManageEngine NetFlow 
Analyzer 12.1, which uses an init script. I did not
install NetFlow Analyzer from a Debian package. The init script does not come 
with LSB headers. The result is equally catastrophic
and cryptic.

 

If, as seems to be the case, insserv considers init scripts without LSB headers 
as having an absolute dependency on all other
scripts, I recommend upgrading severity to serious.

That is, trying to *access* a Windows 10 SMB server.

The affected clients have no issues accessing Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 
servers.

Bug#806446: resolv.conf(5): single-request-reopen description misleading

[Philippe Cloutier]

Package: manpages
Version: 3.74-1
Severity: normal
Tags: ipv6

Option single-request-reopen was documented following ticket #699387:
The resolver uses the same socket for the A and  requests. Some hardware 
mistakenly sends back only one reply. When that happens the client system will 
sit and wait for the second reply. Turning this option on changes this behavior 
so that if two requests from the same port are not handled correctly it will 
close the socket and open a new one before sending the second request.

While the description is correct, it seems to imply that the option is only 
meant to workaround broken hardware (presumably routers). This may have been 
the original intent, but as I personally found out, the option also works 
around broken Windows Server DNS servers. In my case, this was Windows Server 
2008 [R1], which is relatively obsolete, but according to 
http://robert.penz.name/902/slow-dns-resolving-with-linux-systems-against-windows-dns-server/
 this persists in current versions, so even though the fault seems to be 
Microsoft's, this better be as clear as possible.

As a minimum, we should use a generic designation (something like "DNS servers" 
rather than "hardware"). It may even be warranted to mention specific examples, 
as if I understand correctly, this affects default Debian clients using default 
Windows Server DNS servers.

Bug#803515: ppp: chap-secrets permissions reset to 600 every upgrade

[Philippe Cloutier]

Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.6-3.1
Severity: normal

postinst modifies the permissions of 2 configuration files, pap-secrets and 
chap-secrets:

# install /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets from templates,
# if necessary
for file in pap-secrets chap-secrets; do
  if [ -f /etc/ppp/$file ]; then
TAG=$(head --lines=1 /etc/ppp/$file)
if [ "$TAG" = "#GENERATED-BY-DEBIAN-INSTALLER#" ]; then
  (sed -e "s/-HOSTNAME-/$HOST/g" /usr/share/ppp/$file; \
cat /etc/ppp/$file) > /etc/ppp/$file.tmp
  mv /etc/ppp/$file.tmp /etc/ppp/$file
fi
  else
sed -e "s/-HOSTNAME-/$HOST/g" < /usr/share/ppp/$file > /etc/ppp/$file
  fi
  chmod 600 /etc/ppp/$file
done

The permission change at the last line is always performed, even on upgrade. 
This causes /etc/ppp/chap-secrets to go back to 0600 even if the administrator 
has set different permissions.

Bug#795319: Please improve port testing use case

[Philippe Cloutier]

Package: netcat-traditional
Version: 1.10-41
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

By default, netcat outputs nothing when it connects. This makes an instance 
connecting from an instance connected indistinguishable
until the target host has sent content or a timeout has expired (after which 
netcat displays an error if it failed to connect). A
timeout will hapen when trying to connect to a filtered port.

Option -v solves this by printing a message when the connection is established, 
but is not enabled by default.

This could be addressed either by making -v the default or via documentation. 
Documentation could at least specify that -v prints a
line when the connection is established. There could also be explicit treatment 
of the issue in the introduction or in the BUGS
section.

 Well, let’s just not do that right now.

 The upgrade to 1.19 was on very short notice already,
 and, IIRC, Jonathan wanted to make something that
 installs more nicely after the release anyway.

 And, for what’s worth, I’m obviously against any
 non-backwards-compatible changes in that manner…


I don't see which backwards-incompatibility you have in mind.



  The list of extensions in
  /etc/mediawiki-extensions/extensions-available/ has nothing for
  Interwiki (except a symlink to its predessors, SpecialInterwiki).

 The SpecialInterwiki.php one is the correct one to use.

 https://evolvis.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/evolvis/index.php/Special:Interwiki
 (for example) works just fine (provided you’re Forge Admin ☺),
 and that’s what this extension is supposed to provide.


I didn't mean Special:Interwiki couldn't work. I'm just saying we're
missing a symlink to the new (although outdated) version. I'm not aware of
actual problems keeping the old version would cause, but if we have the new
version, we should at least have a symlink to it.

Bug#468668: Bug: #468668: Unable to start d-i after running win32-loader (empty GRUB)

[Philippe Cloutier]

Hi Didier,
thanks, I don't know why I didn't get Robert's reply. I didn't use
win32-loader after filing this report. I figure if this bug was so easy to
reproduce and persisted, someone else would have confirmed it. It might have
only happened when GRUB was not installed yet, but GRUB is already installed
on this PC so I can't test that quickly. I may test when I get a new PC,
perhaps in a couple of years :-)

Until then, if nobody else is experiencing, this is likely fixed.

 Hi Filipus,

 you reported this bug (#468668) 2½ years ago and never answered to Robert's
 questions.

 Is this bug still reproducible for you using actual Squeeze's win32-loader
 ? I'm
 hereby tagging this bug as unreproducible; tell me if it can be reproduced
 nowadays or if I can close it.

[Philippe Cloutier]

Package: xkb-data

I don't really know how rules/base works, but it seems to be autogenerated and 
possible not to ship it in the source. I see that even upstream tarballs 
contain it, but maybe the Debian patch could just remove it.
The reason I ask this is that having this file seems to cause problems when 
trying to modify rules. Apparently if I build the package, then edit the 
source code and finally build and retry cleaning, cleaning fails because 
rules/base is updated so unpatching fails:

  Raul asked me via IRC to check whether ~/.kde/share/config/kmixrc was

  It was regenerated with good values.

   I think I didn't explain myself properly on IRC, you did almost the same
 I told you but not exactly the same ;)

   I'll try to do a summary of what we talked about:

   First of all I think we agreed that what you were complaining at, what
 you consider a bug, is that kmix changes volume settings on KDE start.

   As you know, kmix has an option in Preferences-Configure KMix...
 name Restore settings on startup (translated from Spanish). By default
 this option is enabled, what you consider a bug that you have explained
 along this bug report.

   I think a good solution for you would be disabling this option by
 default. Debian could only solve this bug itself if it were the kmix
 package configuration the one that has enable that setting by default and
 hence the test I told you to do was conceived for that purpose.

   The setting in this matter is named as startkdeRestore in the kmix
 configuration file ~/.kde/share/config/kmixrc and if you pay attention to
 this file it will have a value of true. We will try to default this to
 false.

   Looking at the Debian kmix package, I saw that it was including a file,
 which should be located at
 /usr/share/autostart/restore_kmix_volumes.desktop that you could inspect
 yourself. This file includes a line like this:
 X-KDE-autostart-condition=kmixrc::startkdeRestore:true

   I think what this line is doing is making kmix to enable that option,
 which you don't want, but I wasn't sure, neither I am. :)
It's used as a condition to perform the autostart action.

   Thus i ask you for this test:

   1- Move that file(/usr/share/autostart/restore_kmix_volumes.desktop) into
 some other place, e.g. your home. You will need to be root.
   2- Log out from kde (as regular user) making sure that kmix will start
 automatically on next logon
   3- Login as your regular user into a text console(not KDE) and move the
 kmix configuration file(~/.kde/share/config/kmixrc) to elsewhere, e.g. your
 home dir.
   4- Now log into kde as your regular user and go to preferences to
 checkout if that option is still enabled.
It's still enabled.

   As it's obvious now only 2 things can happen :). If it didn't work, we'll
 have to go on investigating.

   If it worked, then we could toast with champagne, but being so expensive
 we will take a beer from the fridge :P

   Now seriously, the .desktop file is provided upstream, so the regular way
 would be to ask them to consider your opinion and change the file
 accordingly. I will try to poll them, I don't know what they will think.
It may not be desirable upstream. I have no idea how systems which don't use 
ALSA save mixer levels. It should be safe to change in Debian which mostly 
uses Linux, but I guess it would be better to do something upstream depending 
on the platform on which kmix runs.

   The thing is that being kde3 at this mature stage, you have to know that
 they are reluctant to made important modifications.

Alternatively a fix could be provided by Debian if anyone submit a patch
 and Debian packagers agree to apply it. The smart way would be asking them
 first after knowing the complexity of such a change.
For simply changing the default, I think it just needs to be changed in 
kmix.cpp.

   Ok, check the description of the apt package:

   Advanced front-end for dpkg!!
 
  Yes, it's not clear. I opened #458029 about that.
 
   And does aptitude depends on the apt
   package? No! Depends on libapt! Which is not apt.
 
  It doesn't directly depend on apt, but it does effectively depend on it.

 I've read with interest this thread (as a reader of debian-www ml).

 It would be nice to have a Wiki page explaining clearly what is
 APT (architecture, library, tool...?), and it's accepted meanings.
 This page could also have some recommended usages and sample phrasing,
 etc... which could help RM and other writers.

 Could you contribute such page on wiki.d.o as you seem knowledgeable on
 this matter.
I'm not very knowledgeable about APT. I never looked at the code. Also, there 
are already two more prioritary items on my todo list for a long time: 
restarting to maintain Wikipedia's APT article and clearing wiki.d.o's 
licensing situation.
Don't expect an APT article on wiki.d.o from me too soon :S

  Hi,
 
  I would like to know what the stable release managers plan to do
  regarding flashplugin-nonfree in etch.
 
  As I see it, there are three options:
 
  1. do nothing, keep a broken package in etch
 
  2. remove the broken package from etch
 
  3. request another upload, as the version currently in stable-proposed
  updates has broken since it was uploaded (which was before r1)
 
 
  Additionally I would like to (officially) ask the volatile team about
  their opinion of including flashplugin-nonfree in volatile/contrib. As I
  read the requierements for volatile, the package fully fulfills them.
  (The package is rock stable and just an installer for (the latest)
  nonfree flash (from adobe) - so it does exactly what the users expect.)

 The new Flash is *known* to break konqueror but works as intended on
 FireFox, the reason for this is konqueror does not support XEmbed.  For a
 stable distribution, I'm not sure what the best solution would be.

This problem was reported against flashplugin-nonfree at 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=455283

What happened with this? Was it introduced in 4.0r2, the same way as in 
testing? I have no etch install, but I checked the changelog and the package 
a bit and I saw nothing mitigating this bug. There were more than 10 
duplicates of the bug report requesting XEmbed support in upstream konqueror 
nsplugins opened in the last 2 weeks.

Bug#458026: Advanced Package or Packaging Tool?

[Philippe Cloutier]

Package: apt-howto, apt
Severity: normal

apt and apt-howto are inconsistent in their expansions of APT. apt expands 
it to Advanced Package Tool in apt-doc's extended description and in 
apt(8). apt-howto expands it to Advanced Packaging Tool in chapter 1:

Here again, Debian led the way and gave birth to APT, the Advanced Packaging 
Tool, which has since been ported by Conectiva for use with rpm and has been 
adopted by some other distributions.

I think packaging means it would be used for making packages, so I think 
that package makes more sense, but I am not a native English speaker. I 
can't tell which package is buggy.

Bug#458029: package descriptions are unclear

[Philippe Cloutier]

Package: apt
Version: 0.7.6
Severity: normal

The packages descriptions are unclear, particularly about what apt contains.
The short description is Advanced front-end for dpkg.

The extended description contains

This is Debian's next generation front-end for the dpkg package manager. It 
provides the apt-get utility and APT dselect method that provides a simpler, 
safer way to install and upgrade packages.

This is OK for apt-get and other programs, but there is no mention of libapt. 
Nothing indicates that APT is also a back-end for APT front-ends such as 
aptitude and Synaptic. This is rather confusing, because the primary role of 
apt is and should become more and more to be a back-end for GUI package 
managers and other more refined console tools.

Now that clamav 0.9x is in testing, should this bug's severity be
upgraded to grave, serious or important? I tried using klamav and it
doesn't seem to work, but I have no experience with it.
  
   klamv is broken by design.  klamav doesn't use published interfaces, or
   the actual programs.  Since it wants to use it's own internal
   representation of the state of the programs, it needs to advance in
   lockstep with the clamav upstream.  If it's maintainer isn't willing to
   do that, it should probably be removed from the archive.  We don't need
   more software that is broken by design.  If upstream klamav wants to
   change to use a published clamav interface rather than muck around in
   the internals, it will probably go easier for them, but failing that,
   it's up to the Debian maintainer if he wants to keep it in the archive.
 
  Heh. I see the relation between the bug and what you wrote, but this is
  my first time using ClamAV so I can't discuss meta bugs yet. All I can
  discuss is this specific bug. Feel free to open a new report about the
  design. My question is whether this particular incompatibility makes
  KlamAV unusable or is still just a normal bug.

 OK, I'm not bothered either way about it.  If you don't think you're
 interested in thinking about the bug report for some reason, that's OK
 with me.  I'm just a little confused about why you're inquiring about
 the appropriate severity of a bug that you don't then want to take any
 further interest in.

Hum, I don't really understand what you wrote. My main interest is to have 
this specific bug marked as an RC bug if it is an RC bug. For example, if the 
package is unusable, the severity should be upgraded to grave, so that klamav 
is not released in lenny as an unusable package. I'm asking because klamav 
seems broken to me, but I never used it, so it would be easier for someone 
who already used it to determine if klamav is just partially broken but also 
partially usable, and set the bug's severity accordingly.

Bug#454162: Re: Bug#454162: libxine1-plugins: should not depend on libxine1-gnome

[Philippe Cloutier]

This bug is now about that all plugins are installed by default,
dragging in too many dependencies at install/upgrade time. I have the
following compromise in mind, which I first want to be commented on
before I do the follwing changes:

a) Let's introduce 2 meta packages: libxine1-all-plugins, which depends on
all binary packages including libxine1-gnome, and another one
libxine1-common-plugins, which depends on all packages except
libxine1-gnome.

b) Additionally, the libxine1 package gets versioned conflicts against
all gnome/gtk2 related frontends in etch.

I'm not sure about a) ; how would these meta packages be used?
b) looks great.

Thanks for caring about this.

  A similar problem happens in nautilus. According to Stephan Kulow, this
  is a libsmbclient bug.

 Then why do not file it against libsmbclient :?

 Ana

Mostly because I don't know libsmbclient [enough]. I'm not sure it is a 
libsmbclient bug, and if it is, I couldn't explain what the bug is nor 
provide a testcase.

Second, other users are more likely to look for a bug report against 
kdebase-kio-plugins than libsmbclient.

Ideally, someone would check how kio-smb uses libsmbclient, open a new report 
if appropriate, and mark this one as blocked.

Bug#442805: please do not recommend perl-doc

[Philippe Cloutier]

Package: perl
Version: 5.8.8-7
Severity: wishlist

perl is found on almost all systems, but perl-doc is only found in 13.41% of 
installs, despite it being currently recommended by perl. This speaks for 
itself; systems with perl and without perl-doc are certainly not unusual.

perl-doc was previously a suggestion, but was upgraded to a recommendation in 
5.8.4-7:
  * Upgrade suggestion on perl-doc to recommends now that dselect is
less pedantic about the latter.

perl-doc is a 7 MB download, so it would be important not to install it on 
default installs.

Are you sure the criticism was about perl-doc being split out, or about perl 
not warranting that Perl documentation is installed? I guess criticism was 
that perl should ensure that documentation is available. This is a valid 
point. If you think it's worth considering, perl could be renamed to 
something, say perl-bin, and a new perl metapackage could created, 
depending on perl-bin and perl-doc.

I am not convinced that this is worth adding a metapackage though. For 
example, Apache suggests the documentation and this is fine for me.

 perl-doc is a 7 MB download, so it would be important not to install it on
 default installs.

 If you don't want it, don't install it.
I can avoid installing it, but not when doing a default install. Unless you 
think the package should be installed by default, you're the only one that 
can avoid that...except perhaps tasksel maintainers by delaying recommends 
consideration even more :/

Bug#442814: please do not recommend jackd

[Philippe Cloutier]

Package: libjack0
Version: 0.103.0-6
Severity: wishlist

Several applications that support JACK depend on libjack. Thus, libjack is 
installed on over 56% of systems. Under 12% of systems use JACK. This means 
that under 1 of 5 systems where libjack is installed want JACK. However, 
libjack0 recommends jackd. Please downgrade libjack0's dependency on jackd to 
a suggestion.

Severity: minor

doc-debian-fr is a document for end users, but it recommends the Debian 
Developer's Reference, which is for developers. It's not unusual for a user 
to not be a developer, so the Developer's Reference shouldn't be recommended,

creation plugin. It must be a good idea that imagemagick is suggested, but it

I reproduce this with 3.5.7. I don't see how the commit Andreas pointed could 
have caused such a regression, since it restricts the cases where KTar will 
detect an invalid file, rather than invalidating files previously considered
