I compiled squid 1.0.5 last night and made a new package for it, but when
i installed it with dpkg on my system i got a warning message about
downgrading to earlier version due to --force.
which means that dselect can't be used to upgrade this package because it
won't do the forced downgrade. I
it seems to me that there are two types of default file being
discussed here.
The first is default options for executables - i.e. /etc/default. Most
discussion so far has concentrated on this. This will require massive
changes to the system so that binaries know how to use the default
Package: base
Version: 1.1.0-14
The newest base contains a /var/run/utmp file of length 0. When upgrading
a running system, this:
- causes the list of people currently online to be lost
- makes tools like 'w' segfault until one login occurs.
Fix : remove /var/run/utmp from base.

Increasingly, documentation is in a generic markup format that can be
processed into various output formats either by standard tools or ones
that come with the package.
For example:
* GNU Texinfo can be converted to Info, DVI (and hence rather large
PostScript) and HTML.
* The Linux FAQ

OK, so we've decided to have packages put their Emacs startup stuff in
a directory, with one file per package.
The directory obviously ought to go in /etc, and the files made
conffiles, so that the sysadmin can reconfigure things.
/etc/emacs/site-start.d ?

It seems the ncurses terminfo database misses significant features. When
trying to display mime encoded mail I do not get the correct features.

* My new dpkg manuals ... HTML ...

I think I see a trend here. While HTML is not the perfect format (e.g.,
it lacks the navigation
Options for our policy include:
1. Specify one or two particular preferred target formats and
distribute those. Leave the source in the source package. So far
we have done this with documentation in Texinfo - we leave the
.texi files in the source package and distribute only

If you haven't been able to boot, ask on debian-user for
a boot disk image. Several of our people have made one for
NCR. I'd help but I am away from the office with no access to
