Package: base
Version: 0.93.6-13
It is utterly unreasonable for the system to try and do fsck's when the
system is booted with 'linux single'. The whole point of a single user boot
is that something is wrong that needs reasoned attention from a system
adminitrator. A single-user boot should do
Package: metamail
Version: 2.7-1
The script /usr/bin/showpicture provided with the metamail package, which is
used by Netscape, et al, to launch xv or xloadimage to display graphical
objects, is a csh script. There is no dependency specified by the metamail
package, and csh is not part of the

I can't find these anywhere, and it's been a couple of days since the
announcement? I really, really, want to install libreadline-2.0-9 ASAP.

This is sort of long. Don't bother unless you care about what /usr's contents

Package: mh
Version: 6.8.3-2
The 0.93R6 MH mail user interface package causes it to be impossible to

Package: trn
Version: 3.6-2
It's not clear to me why trn uses 'recommends' for a mail transport
and a news article injector, while tin uses 'depends'. I think that depends
makes more sense, so I'm filing this against trn.

That raises an interesting question for me, my apologies if it's docuemented

What's the protocol for picking a directory to dump a new package in?
It was pretty easy
