Package: mdbtools Version: 0.5.99.0.6pre1.0.20051109-7 Followup-For: Bug #220403
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Still seems to be a problem here. I was trying to import some data which contains some GPS co-ordinates stored as floating points. As an example, you might have this co-ordinates: - -37.81599, 145.05954 (a tram stop in Melbourne, Australia) However, with mdb-export they'd become: 000000000037.5990,000000000145.9540 Quite odd as we are losing two digits immediately after the decimal place. Nasty as well because this kind of problem doesn't produce any errors at the time of conversion, making things appear to have worked fine until later on when you wonder why a tram stop is appearing in the middle of a forest! Has this bug really existed for over 6.5 years or is it a new issue? The package probably shouldn't be in Debian if it can't be resolved because it is potentially corrupting data. - -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages mdbtools depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18lenny2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-3 The GLib library of C routines ii libmdbtools 0.5.99.0.6pre1.0.20051109-4 mdbtools libraries ii libreadline6 6.1-1 GNU readline and history libraries mdbtools recommends no packages. mdbtools suggests no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFMEE70kbP49ojM5yARAgavAKCJ22Cbm0fElntaW4dBiedsqX8s9gCgssHs 57thrsU25yGfg5fBhyHdDV4= =+nJH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
