[Touch-packages] [Bug 1884583] Re: vim is dependent on libcanberra0 in Ubuntu 20.04, had no such dependency in Ubuntu 18.04
Also filed (and fixed!) in Arch Linux: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/63073 A build switch was introduced in Vim 8.1.1529, so vim can be built with --disable-canberra. Commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/21606676d9ebc6f159c56ee90733e5d5720ab3d7 Even though it is technically "no X", I think the underlying package philosophy is "no desktop", and bringing in sound-theme-freedesktop, Vorbis, Ogg and libasound very much goes against that. That said, the "no X" build is a rather fat build with many dependencies to scripting languages, so disk size is not much of an argument for that package. On the other hand, the regular, main "vim" package has (or used to have) very few dependencies (3 on a barebone Ubuntu install). Canberra adds 9 more... Please build "vim" with --disable-canberra: because it should have few dependencies Please build "vim-nox" with --disable-canberra: because it should be "no desktop" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to vim in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1884583 Title: vim is dependent on libcanberra0 in Ubuntu 20.04, had no such dependency in Ubuntu 18.04 Status in vim package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: which pulls in libasound and some alsa packages which I am not sure why it is useful and desired on most text-only/headless systems. In Debian I also see this dependency arisen with Bullseye/testing and Sid/unstable (but not with Buster/stable) but I don't see any mention of this introduction and its usefulness in the package's changelog. Could the reason of this dependency creation please be investigated, its usefulness evaluated, and if possible, this dependency to be made optional for vim builds ?

Norbert, it is *extremely* inappropriate to edit the bug description to publicize your workaround. Adding instructions to set the sandbox user to "root" at the start of the bug description is quite simply awful. I have reverted that change. ** Description changed: READ ME FIRST = This is a cosmetic issue. The warning message is just that— a warning. Though the message comes up, there is no problem with the install/upgrade happening like normal. That said, feel free to ignore it. It will get fixed, but it's nowhere near as urgent as bugs that actually result in the wrong behavior rather than just a simple extra message. - - - Temporary fix for this annoying bug by Norbert - == - The commands below are shared without any warranty. - Use it on your own risk. - - cat

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1668722] Re: 60x11-common_xdg_path uses $DESKTOP_SESSION which needs a sanity check
DESKTOP_SESSION is created by the display manager. In particular, SDDM puts an absolute path in DESKTOP_SESSION, which seem to be quite distinct from what other managers are doing. I have opened https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/852 about that matter. However, the 60x11-common_xdg_path could be made to produce better XDG paths. This scripts was created by Ubuntu (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/804734 for the context), so Ubuntu should fix it if need be. Note that nothing says the paths in such variables have to be valid. The users of these variables should be ready for invalid path (simply switch to the next one in the list). ** Bug watch added: github.com/sddm/sddm/issues #852 https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/852 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1668722 Title: 60x11-common_xdg_path uses $DESKTOP_SESSION which needs a sanity check Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This file: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60x11-common_xdg_path contains references to $DESKTOP_SESSION variable. On one of my Ubuntu installs this variable contains: "plasma", on the other it contains: "/usr/share/xsessions/plasma". I don't know where either example comes from, but the upshot is that paths are added to XDG_DATA_DIRS and XDG_CONFIG_DIRS that don't exist. MANDATORY_PATH is also affected I believe, maybe others. Surely a sanity check of the generated paths is in order. Seems pointless to add non-existent ones. $XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP looks like a replacement for $DESKTOP_SESSION, but is that true? Cheers!

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1651923 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1651923 I am certain the redirect was there before. The redirector and the mirrors are listed in the Debian package ttf- mscorefonts-installer version 3.6, and were added back in 2013 or 2014, with a comment saying "we just use SF.net's redirection, which will work in most cases. The others serve as fallbacks to retry." I also have always seen SourceForge using these mirrors (it was already redirecting to them in 2002...), though it is possible the technical details of the redirect have changed over time. Anyway, I understand and agree that solving the URL decoding/re-encoding issue is the most important step, and thank you for working on it. It is too bad that it might take months to land on Xenial, considering how much heat #1607535 got in the past few days (and so much duplicates!).

However, since ttf-mscorefonts- installer triggers 11 downloads in a row, chances of randomly getting 11 working mirrors are very low. I am tagging this as regression-update because the issue started happening when upgrading from 3.168.2 to 3.168.3 last Friday. It is of course entirely possible the root cause is in another package, but this would also likely be a regression-update, since I am very careful about system-wide changes on this machine. The previous update from 3.168.1 to 3.168.2 on November 4th went just fine. ttf-mscorefonts-installer has been installed (just fine) on September 26th, and not upgraded since then.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1410558] [NEW] PS_FORMAT=thcount does not work anymore
Public bug reported: In Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS (procps 1:3.2.8-11ubuntu6.3), the following worked fine: $ export PS_FORMAT=thcount $ ps THCNT 1 1 In Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (procps 1:3.3.9-1ubuntu2), it does not work anymore: $ export PS_FORMAT=thcount $ ps warning: $PS_FORMAT ignored. (unknown user-defined format specifier "thcount") PID TTY TIME CMD 6593 pts/100:00:00 ps 16633 pts/100:00:00 bash Other PS_FORMAT specifiers still work fine (I have tried many, but not all). In real-life usage, a more complex PS_FORMAT would of course be used, such as PS_FORMAT=pid,s,thcount,nice,euser,egroup,etime,cputime,%mem,rssize:6,size:7,vsize:7,command Workaround: use nlwp instead of thcount (they are alias to the same data, and nlwp works fine in both versions). ** Affects: procps (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to procps in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1410558 Title: PS_FORMAT=thcount does not work anymore Status in procps package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS (procps 1:3.2.8-11ubuntu6.3), the following worked fine: $ export PS_FORMAT=thcount $ ps THCNT 1 1 In Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (procps 1:3.3.9-1ubuntu2), it does not work anymore: $ export PS_FORMAT=thcount $ ps warning: $PS_FORMAT ignored.
