Package: xscreensaver Version: 4.21-5 Severity: important Several screensavers within xscreensaver use planet.debian.net as a source of text. This may not be the wisest choice: when I returned to my computer this afternoon I found that it was proclaiming in large type that I should "Choke on my fuck.". Fortunately, the previous line in the relevant post wasn't included since that reads "Dear Mark". While as a regular reader of Planet Debian I found this highly amusing rather than offensive I can see that not everyone may feel the same way.
Even excluding the odd obscenity such as this I'd question the appropriateness of Planet Debian as a source for the screensaver text - aside from the need for an internet connection, much of the content of Planet Debian is technical or related to internal Debian politics and is probably not ideal for use in this sort of role. Personally, I much prefered the previous use of fortune. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xscreensaver depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.1-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libglade2-0 1:2.5.1-2 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.5-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.8-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-10 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpam0g 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System Session Management ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxml2 2.6.16-7 GNOME XML library ii libxmu6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxpm4 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X pixmap library ii libxrandr2 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System Resize, Rotate and ii libxrender1 1:0.8.3-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime Versions of packages xscreensaver recommends: ii libjpeg-progs 6b-10 Programs for manipulating JPEG fil ii netpbm 2:10.0-8 Graphics conversion tools ii perl [perl5] 5.8.7-3 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii wamerican [wordlist] 5-4 American English dictionary words ii xli 1.17.0-18 view images under X11 ii xloadimage 4.1-14.2 Graphics file viewer under X11 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
