Before I knew about the Free-BSD man pages, I started to build man pages
for the diff utilities from the diff info file and from their usage
statements. In particular, I had made a man page for 'cmp' that way. When
you (Jeff) pointed out the existence of the FreeBSD page, I incorporated

I notice that the "Packages" file in the debian-1.0 directory lists

Since the bug isn't closed, I'm taking the liberty of resending this

I finally tracked down the problem I've occasionally had with shared
libraries mysteriously disappearing after upgrading packages. As I
suspected, it was due to an undesired interaction between dpkg (which
was renaming files) and ldconfig (which was removing stale symlinks).
The easiest solution

The transcript below shows a utmp corruption. Any advice on how to
determine how this happened would be appreciated. The ftp process was
probably run by Emacs, as I was using ange-ftp.

Susan, are you on the debian-devel list? It might be a good idea if
you're not. It is a high traffic list. That may prevent you from
wanting it.

I see there's some new X-10 control software on Sunsite. Does anyone want
to work on that? Otherwise, I'll package it. The package name should be
something that doesn't get confused with x11.
I have the "X-10 Powerhouse CP-290" controller at home.
Thanks

Good evening folks,
I'm about packaging the 1.9 manual pages. Therefore I have some
questions:
1. Should I provide a "RECOMMENDED: man" line in the control file? (or
should this even be a DEPENDS?
Have a pleasant day,

As long as I've been updating the mount package, I have a question:
The mount package contains a "configuration" file /etc/fstab.sample. Would it
not be better to include this file in /usr/doc/examples, or does something
actually depend on it being in /etc?

Description files should exist for terminals that happen to be compiled in to
the library. I happened to be using a different library version, and my

I can't duplicate this problem (I don't have a spare scratch disk to test
with) but I suspect the mount error messages may have sufficiently improved
with version 2.5. I really can't say much else about this particular case,
considering the circumstance.
I would close this bug, but I don't know if
Did you check that the umount (without the -n flag) actually works?
Shutting it up can be a disaster on a large system.
