Package: seyon
Version: 2.20c-16
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

seyon does not work when gnome-terminal is installed. When I try to run
it, I get the following message:

Option --tclass is no longer supported in this version of
gnome-terminal; you might want to create a profile with the desired
setting, and use the new --window-with-profile option Two --title
options given for one tab

without gnome-terminal, seyon starts. I did not change any configuration
(just installed the two packages).

This is not a grave bug, it's easy to install rxvt or xterm and
configure seyon to use those. I'm actually tempted to reassign the bug
to gnome-terminal instead, for willfully breaking compatibility with
the older terminal programs for no obvious reason...

I just found out that my bug report is totally inaccurate.

The missing files were caused by .cvsignore files in the source

cvs import -I ! 

While the man page has a clear warning on this, the info
manual (which I used) requires you to check another note
to find the information.

to a core dump from Marc. I'm debugging through it now...

Mirroring the change from #396374 from Goswin - the bug is nothing to
do with the package, just the directory tree it's being built

Sorry for the lack of follow-up, I (currently) don't have internet

Bug#368681: cvs: does not flag conflicted copies anymore

I did not expect CVS upstream to be actively sabotaging CVS.  Thank you for
warning me about it.

Please consider adding a very visible warning in the NEWS.Debian file (I'd
add it as a debconf note of priority high, but to each its own) about it
ASAP.

 for another description of the same bug. It's rather annoying that
 they have changed the behaviour so blatantly from what people are used
 to...

So, after a non-joke merge I have a thousand files I have to manually verify
for conflicts, because CVS will flag *all* of them the same way in the cvs
status and cvs update commands (which are almost always the means used to
verify a working copy before a commit), on top of allowing commits of
conflicted crap without a warning?

I didn't test a graphical front-end, but people using those expect to have
those bright-red ! marks on conflicted files after a merge, I guess this
won't work anymore either.

Need I remind anyone that manually grepping for conflict markers is NOT
something the majority of CVS users will do, because the tool was, until a
few days ago, supposed to do it for them?

This change of behaviour is dangerous, and dumb beyond measure.  Doing such
a change silently just adds to the injury, and it is not acceptable at all.

I hope we can do something about it.

I'm planning on digging into it further over the next couple of days;
I'm very tempted to patch this change back out, if it is this
simple...

Bug#377109: Remove cdrtools

Hi guys,

ok well, as JS stays with an interpretation of CDDL and GPL that the
whole world does not follow (all wrong, of course :) ), lets go and fix
this. The sane way is to remove cdrtools from Debian main (unstable) and
add a free replacement, most possible a fork from the last free version
(which had only the CDDL licensed build scripts, which can easily be
replaced by some automake thing). If you want to join that effort -
contact me.

For Debian etch I dont think its a big problem right now, dependencies
will stop it from getting removed before we release.

I'm not convinced that what's already in testing is safe to ship with
etch, to be honest. I'll dig into the build system changes and prepare
a replacement, unless somebody else (Eduard?) already has a similar
replacement ready. The existing GPL code should be fine; if needs be
we can simply go back to the last GPLed build system and fix from
there.

A good free replacement is needed, but that clearly won't hit etch...

Bug#393039: Much simpler patch possible

2006-10-28 Thread Steve McIntyre
The patch suggested for this bug is a little overboard; the original
code looks like it was trying to use the Linux system call interface
to get around the lack of 64-bit seek support in userland. Now that
this is available, a *much* easier way to fix this is simply convert
l64seek() to be a wrapper around lseek() and compile with appropriate
flags. I'm about to upload an NMU to fix this (and multiple of the
other bugs open in this package).

The project is BSD licenced, but there seem to be individual files in

Bug#497270: Reviewing data in the debian-cd packages

2008-09-10 Thread Steve McIntyre
Daniel's helpful bug (#497270) points out that we have embedded copies
of isolinux in the debian-cd package. It's prompted me to look for
other embedded data, and I've found the following list:

tack:~/debian/debian-cd/debian-cd$ find . -type f | xargs file | \
grep -v text | grep -v -e \.png -e \.jpg -e \.gif | \
awk '{print $1}'
./data/etch/sbm.bin.gz:
./data/etch/isolinux.bin:
./data/cts_amiga_info.tar.gz:
./data/macinstall-cd.tar.gz:
./data/lenny/sbm.bin.gz:
./data/lenny/vesamenu.c32:
./data/lenny/isolinux.bin:
./data/sarge/sbm.bin.gz:
./data/sarge/isolinux.bin:

Of those:

 * isolinux.bin and vesamenu.c32 come from the syslinux package
 * sbm.bin.gz comes from the sbm package

I can add code to extract the appropriate binaries from each package
at CD build time, in much the same way as we use debootstrap from the
archive. It'll slow things down a little, but that's not as important
as following licensing.

There's another implication, though... Normal weekly builds will
automatically pick up the appropriate source as part of the source
CD/DVD builds, so they're OK. However, more painfully, the current
daily netinst/businesscard builds don't produce source images. If
things change quickly in the syslinux/sbm packages there is a chance
that the source for the exact versions used in the daily images may
not remain on the mirrors. To be totally safe, we'll need to track
versions of packages that go into the daily images (both packages and
the used binary files) and archive those too. Yay.

Other files (hence the cc: to the m68k folks):

 * cts_amiga_info.tar.gz
 * macinstall-cd.tar.gz

are both provided to boot m68k machines, and they each contain binary
files (icons and boot files, AFAICS). I have no idea how those files
are generated, nor what the licensing situation is for them. Can you
help out please?

debian-cd should take the syslinux binaries out of the archive when

Bug#472361: FTBFS: arbitrary hostname check fails on buildd

Package: slrn
Version: 0.9.9~pre97-1
Severity: serious

On the mips buildd ball, slrn builds correctly, but the debian/rules
file does a check on the output binary objects to see if the hostname
is encoded anywhere. As the compiled-in help text includes the text:

then the name Kimball matches and this test fails. Why is this check

Don't be ridiculous. This a real, silly bug in the package. What
happens as/when/if a user tries to build this package using a machine
with a common name?

Bug#443880: This is a bug on *any* platform with strict alignment

2008-04-05 Thread Steve McIntyre
Hi,

I can reproduce this easily on sparc:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/443880$ ./test 
Bus error

On alpha it runs, but the kernel has to fix up exceptions in the
background:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/433880$ ./test 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/433880$ dmesg | tail -4
test(20637): unaligned trap at 000120002d84: 00011f41b4aa 28 2
test(20637): unaligned trap at 000120002d84: 00011f41b4aa 28 2
test(20637): unaligned trap at 000120002d84: 00011f41b4aa 28 2
test(20637): unaligned trap at 000120002d84: 00011f41b4aa 28 2

By hitting the unaligned trap, the performance of the program will be
destroyed. The right answer is to write clean accessor functions to
the mis-aligned data. I'll have a patch shortly that does exactly
that.

Looking at this on i386 and hppa, there seems to be a problem with the

Note the Warning: excess arguments line present in both the hppa and

instead of C and so the compilation fails.

I'm looking further.

Hi Steve,

It's working now (matching versions are in testing) but a fix is needed
to ensure that mismatched versions can't be installed, ie tighter
dependencies.

Yup, true. That's not release-critical in my opinion. As I've just
closed this bug, do you want to re-open and set the severity to
something lower?

If this bug allows a user of sarge to install individual packages from etch
in an inconsistent an unusable configuration, then it is RC.

Yup, I was wrong. Sorry for any hassle caused...

Bug#389434: 2 parts to the bug maybe

2006-10-15 Thread Steve McIntyre
clone 389434
reassign -1 snmpd
retitle -1 snmpd: creates .index file in /usr/share/snmp/mibs at startup
tags 389434 +moreinfo
tags 389434 +unreproducible
thanks

hplip *may* be breaking things too (hence why #389434 was reassigned),
but there is no way that snmpd should be creating files in
/usr/share/snmp/mibs - it's a clear violation of the FHS.

Separately, in fact, I can't reproduce that originally reported bug at
all - installing snmp-base, snmpd and hplip, then starting snmpd and
hplip does not cause the .index file to change - mtime and perms are
the same before and after I start hplip. Michael, two questions:

 * I'm curious - what makes you think hplip is to blame?
 * In what order did you install the packages; is there anything else
   I should know to help me reproduce this?

Thanks,

I don't think your postint needs to care.  As I understand the
debconf-devel(7) manual page (section 'Config file handling') you need
to find out the current status of the system in your .config file, then
use db_set to inform debconf about that status, so you can use it in
your postinst script.

Yeah, OK. That's the bit I was missing. I can see that the postinst is
called again, though...

In fact you already appear to be doing at least some db_sets in your
.config maintainer script, only CVS_ENAB_PSERV somehow needs to get
properly set based on the current inetd.conf.

Something like this fixes the enable/disable problem:

Yeah, that does seem like quite an omission :-(

However, this does not fix all of the cvs package's problems.  For
instance the spawn limit is not read back either, resulting again in
manual config changes being lost on upgrades:

snip

Another, related problem is the following:

snip

That is, enabling pserver, when it is commented out with just a '#' does
not work.  The reason for this is that update-inetd only touches lines
starting with '#off# ' or the service port.  It ignored lines that are
commented out:

snip

Yup.

I realize that fixing all this in time for etch will be hard.  It would
be nice if the enable/disable change on upgrades could be fixed.  The
other items probably are better left for later.  If you agree please
clone the bug and handle them sepeartly.

To be honest, I'm beginning to think that trying to manage the inetd
entries using debconf is actually a mistake and doomed to
failure. Maybe the first time the package is installed, it can be
correct and accurate, but later on it's not possible to do things
correctly.

As you can see, for what reason ever, this installation produced future 
timestamps on vital directories causing update mechanisms to fail and to
complain *all the time*.

Installation history:

- CD-ROM debian-40r0-i586-netinst
- Updates taken as indicated by notifier icon

The first symptom was the notorious ttf-opensymbol update failure, probably 
caused by various font directories tagged with future
timestamps (/usr/share/fonts, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/, ...) but this bug's 
effects are obviously not restricted to these places.

Since the update infrastructure fails, security fixes can no longer be 
applied. This however makes the system unusable.

cvs stoped working recently. On the client side I see the following error 
message:

cvs [checkout aborted]: unrecognized auth response from CVSSERVER: 
cvs: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by cvs)

There are two issues here:
1) On the server side (under debian/unstable) there is no directory /lib/tls/
2) Even when I make a symlink /lib/tls - /lib (where libc.so.6 resides), that 
does not solve the problem and the 
error message remains the same.

Hi Max,

I'm concerned by your bug report. I can't reproduce it here at all,
so I'm curious what your setup is:

 * what access method are you using for your repository? (I'm guessing
   pserver)
 * can you log on to the server and run cvs directly?
 * what auth setup do you have for the cvs server?

As I can't reproduce your problem, I'm reducing the severity a
little. The latest CVS upload contained only tiny changes from the
previous version, and at first sight your problems seem much more
likely to be a local configuration problem.

Thanks!

Bug#558705: Please remove the switzerland package

2009-11-29 Thread Steve McIntyre
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: grave

Please remove the switzerland package from unstable ASAP. The upstream
tarball contains random binaries for which we do not know that we have
source. On i386 the package will simply install the upstream-provided
binary rather than building from the included source. Grave bug
#554823 has been open for several weeks with no response from the
maintainer. The package has a very low popcon score.

We don't need this kind of crap in the archive.

 There is a patch attached to #554823. I suggest NMUing the package.

I don't see any good reason for the package to stay in the archive,
frankly. NMUing it for that bug will only extend the life of the
package. AFAICS it also needs the upstream tarball cleaning up too. If
the maintainer isn't interested in fixing these bugs in a reasonable
length of time, then let's just drop it. It's not like there are a lot
of users, or it's ever been released in stable.

Bug#531831: audacious corrupts its configuration files

2009-06-04 Thread Steve McIntyre
Package: audacious
Version: 1.5.1-4
Severity: serious

I started up audacious from the commane line. I realised that I had
not backgrounded it as I normally do, so hit ctrl-z to suspend. When I
backgrounded it using bg, it seemed to start as normal but the sound
quality was horrific. As I had headphones, it was actually painful:
massive amounts of clipping.

Looking at the config file afterwards, I can see that it had changed
one of the settings:

saved_volume=25700

to

saved_volume=65535

I've seen this happen a couple of times now, but I can't reproduce it
at will which would suggest there is a timing problem involved.

Finally: why is it trying to change settings at startup?

Bug#532670: network manager causes system to fail to boot

2009-06-10 Thread Steve McIntyre
Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.6-3
Severity: critical
Rationale: system lockup

[ This might not be a network-manager bug directly, but simply
  uninstalling it fixes the problem. ]

On a whole range of newly-installed Lenny systems at work, we have a
major problem that seems to be caused by network-manager. The system
boots up and at starts gdm as normal. However, when gdm starts it
simply hangs at the X stipple screen rather than switching to the
default solid blue background. The mouse pointer responds, but
keyboard input fails to do anything (no response to numlock, can't
switch to a console). The box does not respond to pings either; we
have no option but to power-cycle.

If we purge network-manager and simply enable dhcp directly from
/etc/network/interfaces then all works just fine. There doesn't seem
to be anything useful in the logs that I can see...

Bug#507445: gnupg-doc orig.tar.gz missing in main

2008-12-01 Thread Steve McIntyre
Package: gnupg-doc
Version: 2003.04.06-5
Severity: serious

Hi,

As gnupg-doc has moved between non-free and main, it looks like the
orig.tar.gz hasn't moved across to match. This is a know issue in DAK;
cross-component moves don't always pick up on source dependencies
properly and move the orig.tar.gz as well.

I know this is not necessarily *your* bug, but the easiest workaround
is to simply re-upload with a new upstream version to trigger dak to
copy the new upstream orig.tar.gz into the right place. Easiest is to
just rename the current tarball to a new name
(e.g. gnupg-doc_2003.04.06a.orig.tar.gz).

(Opened as serious as this bug is currently blocking creation of
source CDs/DVDs/ in the weekly CD build.)

Bug#239111: Grub is shockingly bad code

2009-01-03 Thread Steve McIntyre
Thanks to Rob McQueen for doing a lot of research into this for his
mail about this bug on 12 Dec 2008. Based on that mail, I've looked
through the code in an attempt to find a way to implement a reasonable
fix: using FIBMAP as he suggested.

After several hours of working through the source, I give up. It's a
total mess and I'd much rather see grub simply removed from Debian
altogether than fix this bug and allow it to live on. Highlights:

 * gratuitous use of nested functions
 * horrific interfaces that don't pass enough information around
   internally, leading to:
 * functions passing internal state around via umarked global
   variables, relying on side effects
 * significantly obfuscated code
 * the core bug as described by Rob: accessing a block device
   underneath an active filesystem and assuming that the results will
   be safe and/or correct.

I *know* that grub is a bootloader, so it's always going to end up
having some nasty lowlevel code somewhere. But that's no excuse for
the code quality I've just seen. After this experience, I'm about to
remove grub from all my systems. Come back lilo, all is forgiven.

Hi,

while trying to install Debian Lenny on a Pegasos2 box, i needed to find out
that it is missing the grub-of package on the CD, which leaves me without a
boot-loader after the installation. :(

Hmmm. I can add it, but it's quite a large package along with
grub-ieee1275 that it depends on. That'll end up pushing other stuff
off CD#1, which is already full of important packages AFAICS. I
understand it breaks the pegasos2 installation for you; how is it
likely to affect other powerpc machines? Are they all going to be
broken?

Dear Maintainer,

While reviewing some packages, your package came up as a possible
candidate for removal from Debian, because:

 * Last maintainer upload in 2005
 * Maintainer inactive in Debian
 * Only works with old thinkpads, apparently

If you think that it should be orphaned instead of being removed from
Debian, please reply to this bug and tell so.

If you disagree and want to continue to maintain this package, please
just close this bug and do an upload also fixing the other issues.

If you agree that it should be removed, send the following commands to

I'm still using tpb successfully on a reasonably-recent thinkpad, and

 Considering the machines this is affecting (machines with the Poulsbo

 debugging output to 20100702-1's kernel and see where GRUB hangs up or
 what isn't being done. Don't expect any miracles though, as this is my
 first time in the GRUB 2 code. ;) If anyone has any thoughts on what the
 problem might be or familiarity with the GRUB kernel's initialization of
 the video subsystem, that would be helpful.

I think (with respect) that Vladimir was mistaken when he said that the
video changes in 20100702-1 only affected the EFI port.

One effect of these changes was to load the video_cirrus and video_bochs
modules by default (you can test whether this is the culprit by
commenting them out in grub.cfg).  I've seen a handful of systems that
hang while trying to enumerate the PCI bus in GRUB; it so happens that
those are the only modules that usually trigger GRUB's PCI bus
enumeration in normal circumstances ...

You can also verify this at a lower level by trying 'lspci' at a GRUB
prompt.  If it's the same problem, this will hang.

Unfortunately, I haven't had my hands on an affected machine for more
than a day or so, and that was when I was under deadline pressure so a
workaround was the best I could manage.  Steve, is your affected system
at home?  Maybe I could visit at some point (for others on the bug,
we're in the same city) ...

Hi Colin,

Yup, it is at the moment - Jo's around here for the next couple of

  http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/

Once we do a release including them, I will add directory structure
there to match how we release the official images
(i.e.

Boot each of the images, which should result in a GRUB prompt, and run:

The first image should hang; I'm interested in the last bus number
printed.  The second may or may not hang, depending on the exact point
things go wrong; again, I'm interested in the last bus number printed.
If my theory is correct, then the third should complete successfully;

Package: debian-cd
Severity: serious

Hi 

Hi Gaudenz,

The creation of the powerpc CD Image currently fails. genoisoimage
aborts with a stack trace as can be seen in this log:
http://cdbuilder.debian.org/cdimage-log/Csqueezepowerpc

Is anyone with access to the build host able to investigate this?
AFAICT the failure started with yesterdays build. Is there a way to
access old logs on cdbuilder.debian.org?

Not currently; each build overwrites the previous log at the
moment. That could be changed, but I've not looked into it yet.

From the build log it seems that the build host is using a locally
modified version of genisoimage. Therefore I'm not filing a bug
against genisoimage yet.

Yup. The problem is in the guts of the HFS hybrid code in
genisoimage. This has happened before occasionally, and has triggered
for a couple of days here but now (fingers crossed) things are working
again. The reason we're using a custom genisoimage on pettersson is
just to have the latest release code running on a stable host; it's
just a local lenny backport.

If this happens again, I'll try to take a look while things are
reproducible. Ick, I hate this code and it's one of the last things
that we can't replace with non-Schily ware. :-(

Unfortunately I don't have access to the build machine to investigate
this myself.

I'm setting the severity to serious as we can't release without a
working powerpc CD build and this seems analogous to a FTBS bug. Feel
free to downgrade if you disagree.

I'll mark it as important for now as it's gone away... :-)

Bug#599437: Looks like we should drop gdisk for squeeze

2010-11-13 Thread Steve McIntyre
Hi,

gdisk 0.5.1-1 is currently in squeeze and sid and has the RC bug
#599437 open against it. There's a new upstream version available
(0.6.13), but the change is huge (39 files changed, 9069
insertions(+), 2593 deletions(-)); IMHO the changes are far too large
for an update now.

The code in the older version of gdisk looks nasty, I'll be honest,
and I would rather see it removed. Small popcon usage and no rdeps.

Guillaume, I know you have the new upstream version waiting on a
sponsor. I might be persuaded to sponsor that for you targetting
post-squeeze.

This problem originally happened when upgrading an old Squeeze installation.

very latest testing images does not solve the problem.

On an Acer Aspire One AO751h, GRUB fails to boot.  It hangs at Welcome to

OK, done. I'm cc:ing all the people who have added comments on the bug
too, for information.

On the Acer 0751H here, I've walked through the versions of grub-pc
available on snapshot.debian.org to see where things broke. The answer
is that the break happened between 20100617-1 and 20100702-1. Using
the text console workaround will let you use grub as-is, but if you
want graphical goodness too (and the smarts to make the Poulsbo
chipset work at a proper resolution), then download and install the
following older versions for now:

http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20100619T041712Z/pool/main/g/grub2/grub-common_1.98%2B20100617-1_i386.deb
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20100619T041712Z/pool/main/g/grub2/grub-pc_1.98%2B20100617-1_i386.deb

and you should be fine. You'll need to mark those packages as held
to stop apt(itude) upgrading beyond them as well, of course. I hope
that's helpful for people. :-)

Now, looking at the changes from 20100617-1 to 20100702-1. There's a
big obvious candidate for the issue we're seeing:

  * New Bazaar snapshot.
- Use video functions in Linux loader rather than hardcoding UGA; load
  all available video backends (closes: #565576, probably).

I'm not sure exactly what changed in there and I don't have time right
now to dig much further, but it's worth sharing where I got to.

   So arrays on the same homehost will have the same second-half of the 
   uuid.
  
  Even if the hostname didn't change?
 
 Only if the hostname changed, or the hostname had not previously been encoded
 in the uuid.

The hostname didn’t change. However the latter might be possible, I
don’t really know. The MD array was built from lenny’s d-i.

I've just started to upgrade my main fileserver at home from Lenny to
Squeeze, and I think I've been bitten by this bug (or something very
similar) in a big way. I've started off with a system running a
locally-built 2.6.28 kernel and a number of RAID devices, all
configured with version 0.9 superblocks (the default in Lenny,
AFAICT).

Using my 2.6.28 kernel and mdadm version 2.6.7.2-3, things work
fine. I've installed only the squeeze kernel (2.6.32) and rebooted
with that, to make sure that it boots. Unfortunately, it doesn't. I
see a lot of messages from the RAID assembly step, complaining that
various of the RAID0 devices are missing components. Hmmm, OK. So
let's go back to the old kernel and re-check.

However, now when I use the 2.6.28 system I get similar
problems. Previously-working devices are now not working. I'm seeing
complaints all over the place that homehost definitions don't match
when trying to assemble devices. *I* did not change anything here, so
it suggests that something (the kernel RAID layer? mdadm init scripts
in the initramfs?) has modified my superblocks in a broken way and
stopped my system booting.

Since then, I've tried to force update of the homehost/uuid settings
in the superblocks, but to no avail. Then I saw that I was on the old
superblock version that didn't store the homehost itself.

I've only managed to get things up and running by actually recreating
the RAID1 devices by hand, using the same settings as the previous
devices. Scary stuff... :-( Yet if I reboot into the new kernel again,
things fall apart again. Even on a newly-created v1.2 device.

Help!

As the bug report (and Neil) says, this could be related to
homehost, but I cannot quite figure out how this would happen.

It is true that mdadm on Debian was using --auto-update-homehost up
until 3.0-1, because IIRC that was the only way to provide
a migration path from before-homehost to then.

Why the UUID would now change is complete outside of my knowledge
and imagination. I have never seen this problem.

I'm surprised too - I've never seen anything like this before either,
and I've been using md for many years on this and other systems.

 Since then, I've tried to force update of the homehost/uuid
 settings in the superblocks, but to no avail. Then I saw that
 I was on the old superblock version that didn't store the homehost

They do store them, but as part of the UUID. However, without
--auto-update-homehost, I do not see a way in which the UUID should
be updated.

 I've only managed to get things up and running by actually
 recreating the RAID1 devices by hand, using the same settings as
 the previous devices. Scary stuff... :-( Yet if I reboot into the

Try this instead:

In initramfs, remove the /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf file and replace it
with a scan:

  mdadm -Escpartitions  /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf

then -A (assemble) your arrays, either individually or with -Asayes.

Then boot your system.

Once the system is up, compare the output of

  /usr/share/mdadm/mkconf

with the contents of /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf and update the file with
the data from the command output.

When done, run

  update-initramfs -u

and now the system should boot.

Hmmm, OK. I'll try that tonight when I'm in front of the system again.

This bug has been puzzling me all along, which is why I have not
been able to fix it. I am sorry it caused you grief.

Ack. If I can help debug in any way, just let me know.

Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I'm trying to install wheezy (testing) through USB + businesscard image.
I got the flash drive image from
http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/hd-media/boot.img.gz.
DDed to my USB stick. Copied over the businesscard image from
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-businesscard.iso
.
All steps are done successfully until Install the base system where it
fails with Debootstrap Error: Invalid Release File: no entry for
main/binary-amd64/Packages.
I have only tried amd64/testing.

Reassigning to debootstrap; the Release files in the archive have
changed, and debootstrap needs updating to cope. :-(

Bug#620827: Very long package filenames (90 characters)

2011-04-04 Thread Steve McIntyre
Package: libcgi-application-basic-plugin-bundle-perl
Version: 0.5-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

Several of the files in the archive belonging to your package are
longer than 80 characters in length and many are over 90. This could
cause problems with packaging them onto Debian CDs. See

  http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/03/msg00943.html

for more details.

Arse. Don't know what happened there, I'm rsyncing again now.

And that's completed now. I think what's there now should be sane -
please double-check. :-/

 sorry, ignore that.. i was answering plymouth related mails above.
 
 regarding squeeze, i'll only sync those from debian-cd, so if debian-cd 
 uses the correct things, so will syslinux-themes-debian. 

Nice to know that. Adding the debian-cd bug to the list then.

For debian-cd people, the SpaceFun isolinux artwork is at
http://svn.debianart.org/themes/spacefun/isolinux/

Do you plan to include it?

There's nothing needed in debian-cd at all; we just include whatever
graphics are provided by the d-i folks.
