Bug#573252: partman-target: stray /cdrom link useless these days

2010-03-12T21:10:01Z

I don't think it particularly matters if there's a stray /media/cdrom.
I could always plug in a usb cd drive.

2010-03-12T21:10:01Z

I see that this has bee fixed in the latest version of the package
(experimental) - the file:
/usr/share/menu/libhsqldb-java is not there anymore.

Bug#573606: pidgin-microblog: hangs on disconnect for twitter accounts

2010-03-12T21:10:02Z

Package: pidgin-microblog
Version: 0.2.4-1
Severity: important
I installed pidgin-microblog only a few days ago and used it only for
watching the homepage updates for a twitter account.
Since about yesterday, I noticed weird stuff like tweets being repeated, but
it's probably connected to Twitter, since it had some capacity issues.

Bug#573499: [Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#573499: Package: alsa-base

* Tobias Koeck [100312 18:48 +0100]
according to /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/READM E.Debian.gz I would
advice you to create /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf with the contents
shown below:
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel index=0
alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio index=-2

Bug#573430: [Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#573430: provide $vardir/modules

2010-03-12T21:10:01Z

also sprach Mathias Gug <math...@ubuntu.com> [2010.03.12.1738 +0100]:
The directory is not to hold modules, but for modules to use it as
scratch space. We could call it for-modules or
modules-scratch-space, but that's a bit long and awkward, especially
since this is not part of the user interface.

Bug#566340: derivations: Versioned build dependency on texlive-base-bin

2010-03-12T21:10:02Z

Hm, no - I don't expect to NMU a minor bug, even if I'm invited to
(thanks!).
I noticed this...
If you have a question when you get at it, feel free to ask on the
Debian TeX mailing list.

Bug#572923: signed integer overflow, maybe?

2010-03-12T21:00:01Z

Honestly this is way above my skills :), but I don't think the above is
true. Constant or not, negation should work the same.
int main() {
long long int j = LLONG_MAX;
int check = 0;
j -= 10;
j += 5;
j += 3;
j += 2;
check = (-j -1 ) == LLONG_MIN;

Bug#573603: duply: loosen the version of the duplicity dependency

2010-03-12T20:50:03Z

Package: duply
Version: 1.5.1.5-1
Severity: wishlist
I was wondering if you could loosen the dependency on duplicity (>= 0.5.06) a little.
I am using duply 1.5.1.4 on lenny (i.e. duplicity 0.4.11) and it works just fine.
Like that I could at least have one less manually installed app on my box. :)
Greetings,

Bug#573604: linux-source-2.6.32: getting continuous ieee80211_parse_info_param(): athros AP is exist messages

2010-03-12T20:50:03Z

Package: linux-source-2.6.32
Version: 2.6.32-9
Severity: important
I have compiled and installed a kernel from this package on an otherwise Lenny
system. I did this in order to use the RTL8192E drivers. I obtained the
RTL8192 firmware and installed it at /lib/firmware/RTL8192E. The wireless is
working but syslog is recording hundreds of the athros AP is exist messages.

Thanks! I’ll try it out and let you know if anything breaks.

Bug#532852: console-setup during initrd would also affect crypted-root systems

2010-03-12T20:30:02Z

it seems like #532852 (Please run console-setup during initrd phase)
would also affect systems with a crypted root.
that is, entering the passphrase to unlock the block device backing the
root filesystem could be done with the machine's "preferred" keymap,
instead of with whatever default appears.

Bug#573601: Do consider switching to dpkg-source 3.0 (quilt) format

2010-03-12T20:30:02Z

Package: nut
Version: 2.4.3-1
Severity: wishlist
It looks like many packages are moving to quilt. According to
[link],
the only things to do are:
mkdir debian/source
echo '3.0 (quilt)' > debian/source/format
