Bug#424500: Uninformative error message when opening StarOffice 5.2 files
Package: openoffice.org Version: 2.0.4.dfsg.2-5etch1 Background: apt-get install openoffice.org does not install the openoffice.org-filter-so52 package. I have not tried aptitude for the same task. The following is valid when openoffice.org-filter-so52 is not installed: When opening an Staroffice 5.2 (.sdw), the application presents the user with a menu of file format choices. After selecting a suitable format, the program refuses to import the file with the message: General Input/Output error. There is a lot of discussion of General Input/Output error on the Internet, which leads the search for causes in wrong direction. NFS / Samba file locking issues seem to be the common cause for this message. The program should report that the filter or converter is not available, and perhaps suggest that the filter is available as a separate package. -- Toomas Tamm Tallinn, Estonia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#423961: Gnome fails to start more than one xterm per session
Package: gnome-desktop-environment Version: 1:2.14.3.6 Gnome fails to start more than one xterm per session. How to reproduce: * Log in as a new user with no previous saved state from Gnome. * Open two or more xterms from the debian menu. * From Desktop - Preferences - Sessions choose Save the current session * (optional): verify that the xterms are actually saved in ~/.gnome2/session * log out * log in Only one of the xterm's is started. Gnome-terminal, as well as other applications I have tried, behave as expected. Also, if I copy and paste the RestartCommand from ~/.gnome2/session, the xterm opens in the correct place. I have the impression that gnome-session never tries to execute the second (and latter) xterm's. -- Toomas Tamm Tallinn, Estonia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#346181: dvipng distorts filenames with periods
Package: dvipng Version: 1.5-2 The dvipng tool makes strange changes into filenames which contain periods. Lets say, I have these two files to convert: sample.dvi sample3.22.dvi The first filename causes no problems: $ dvipng sample or $ dvipng sample.dvi both produce sample1.png The second filename, however, leads to different results depending on whether the .dvi extension is included on the command line or not: $ dvipng sample3.22 produces sample31.png while $ dvipng sample3.22.dvi produces sample3.221.png I think that both should produce sample3.221.png. Actually I recommend that another separator, such as a dash, be placed in front of the 1, producing sample3.22-1.png . This would allow for more readable filenames for cases where the basename ends with a digit. -- Toomas Tamm e-mail: tt-deb (at) kky.ttu.ee Chair of Inorganic Chemistryvoice: INT+372-620-2810 Tallinn University of Technologyfax:INT+372-620-2828 Ehitajate tee 5, EE-19086 Tallinn, Estonia http://www.kk.ttu.ee/toomas/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#346084: Insufficient dependencies
Package: dvipng
Version: 1.5-2
I installed dvipng on an almost bare-bones Debian system (no X, no TeX
of any kind). It is beyond the scope of this report to explain the
reason I did so. Anyway, all the dependencies were automatically
resolved by apt-get.
I created the following file (on another system) and LaTeX'ed it
there:
$ cat sample.tex
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
aa
\end{document}
Then I tried to run dvipng on the result:
$ dvipng sample
This is dvipng 1.5 Copyright 2002-2005 Jan-Åke Larsson
dvipng warning: cannot find ps2pk.map, nor psfonts.map
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode cx --bdpi 300 --mag 1+100/300 --dpi
400 cmr12
mktexpk: No such file or directory
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
dvipng warning: font cmr12 at 400 dpi not found, characters will be
left blank.
[1]
The missfont.log contains a single line:
mktexpk --mfmode cx --bdpi 300 --mag 1+100/300 --dpi 400 cmr12
The generated PNG contains a single pixel (probably white).
I suggest that the depencencies of the package should be revised.
Apparently some fonts are needed for proper operation. I admit that
running this tool without TeX installed is rather unusual, but, as you
see, it happens... :-)
