Package: hylafax-server Version: 2:4.3.0-3 Severity: minor
I ran faxsetup which ran faxaddmodem. Toward the end it said ---------------------------- You do not appear to be using faxgetty to notify the HylaFAX scheduler about new modems and/or their status. This means that you must use the faxmodem program to inform the new faxq process about the modems you want to have scheduled by HylaFAX. Beware that if you have modems that require non-default capabilities specified to faxmodem then you should read faxmodem(8) manual page and do this work yourself (since this script is not intelligent enough to automatically figure out the modem capabilities and supply the appropriate arguments). Should I run faxmodem for each configured modem [yes]? no --------------------------------------------- On the other hand, /etc/default/hylafax includes this comment ----------------------------------------- # Use faxgetty by default, since /usr/sbin/faxmodem is deprecated # If for some reason faxmodem is desired over faxgetty, change the # following variable value to "no". ---------------------------------------- So faxaddmodem seems to want to setup faxmodem, while the default file indicates it's deprecated. Other documents indicate that faxgetty is enabled by default on Debian, so perhaps the problem is that the faxaddmodem doesn't know about how Debian does things (e.g., it only looks in inittab and, finding nothing, concludes faxgetty is not in use). I'm not sure if the issue here is just that the messages are misleading, or if something else would be good to fix (e.g., making faxaddmodem aware of the Debian way to run faxgetty). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages hylafax-server depends on: ii adduser 3.87 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf 1.5.1 Debian configuration management sy ii gs-esp [gs] 8.15.1.dfsg.1-2 The Ghostscript PostScript interpr ii gs-gpl [gs] 8.50-1.1 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript int ii hylafax-client 2:4.3.0-3 Flexible client/server fax softwar ii libc6 2.3.6-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.0-4 GCC support library ii libpam0g 0.79-3.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libstdc++6 4.1.0-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtiff-tools 3.8.2-3 TIFF manipulation and conversion t ii libtiff4 3.8.2-3 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20050715cvs-1 A simple mail user agent ii psmisc 22.2-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii sed 4.1.5-1 The GNU sed stream editor ii sharutils 1:4.2.1-15 shar, unshar, uuencode, uudecode ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-11 compression library - runtime Versions of packages hylafax-server recommends: ii metamail 2.7-51 implementation of MIME -- debconf information: hylafax-server/configure_note: hylafax-server/attachment: hylafax-server/start_now: true hylafax-server/setup_failed: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
