Bugreport: kqemu results in kernel panic of the guest systems

[Rick Rocker]

Dear debian devs,

I don't know how to input bug reports into bugzilla so
I want to report a bug in Etch here:

I am running Etch with this kernel:
Linux funghi 2.6.18-4-686 #1 SMP Wed Feb 21 16:06:54
UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

I installed these packages:
ii  kqemu-common 1.3.0~pre9-12
   Common files for the QEMU Accelerator module
ii  kqemu-modules-2.6-6862.6.18-4 
   QEMU Accelerator modules for Linux 2.6 on
PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4
ii  kqemu-modules-2.6.18-4-686   2.6.18+1.3.0~pre9-4  
   QEMU Accelerator modules for Linux 2.6.18 on
PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4
ii  qemu 0.8.2-4  
   fast processor emulator

So, I tried with this command:

qemu -m 256 -k de -net user -kernel-kqemu -cdrom
/dev/hdc -hda  -boot d 

to install 
a) Debian Sarge
b) Debian Etch 
c) Slackware
d) Sourcemage
(each from the respective installer cds)

but each booting from the install cds resulted in a
kernel panic of the guest.

Without "-kernel-kqemu" each tried install cd runs
fine.

Also the booting of the fully installed guest - after
installing without kqemu - with "-kernel-kqemu"
results in a kernel panic of the guest. But again
without "-kernel-kqemu" booting the fully installed
guest successes.

I wanted to make a good bug report, so I also tried
with 
kernel 2.6.18-4-486 and the respective kqemu-modules
packages.
The same failures as above occur with this kernel and
kqemu modules, too.

If you want to have more data I can give you.

Thank you
regards
rpg_kernel

i did build my own qemu packages with included upstream bios files, use
those if you want to kqemu, or build your own.

Bug#415700: ITP: chmdeco -- Compiled HTML Help (CHM) decompiler

[Paul Wise]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Paul Wise <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

* Package name: chmdeco
  Version : 0.3.2 (to be released soon)
  Upstream Author : Paul Wise <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (yes, me)
* URL : http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/chmdeco/
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : Compiled HTML Help (CHM) decompiler

 A program to convert the internal files of Compiled HTML Help (CHM) files back
 into the authoring files used by the CHM compiler to create the CHM files in
 the first place.

 CHM files are used on the Micosoft Windows platform to store program
 documentation, almost always in the form of HTML, with some non-standard
 quirks. CHM files are a form of archive known as InfoTech Storage Format
 (ITSF) files and contain some special files to implement features of the CHM
 viewer. On Windows they are accessed through a kind of virtual filesystem
 exposed by a dynamically loaded library. ITSF files have UTF-8 filenames and
 use an LZX cruncher to compress all the files in one big chunk. Both the ITSF
 and the formats of the internal CHM files are highly indexed and their designs
 are all clearly optimised for read-only access.

initrd images use /etc/initramfs-tools/modules or
/etc/initrd-tools/modules. /etc/modules is used by
/etc/rc2.d/S20module-init-tools to load modules during startup.
Files in /etc need not all be owned by packages.

debhelper and debconf: package and protocol versions

[Magnus Holmgren]

dh_installdebconf adds a fixed dependency on debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0 to 
${misc:Depends} if debconf is actually needed. But judging from the changelog 
of debconf version 1.2.0 is needed if there are any template translations, 
and I think dh_installdebconf should be so smart. Not that it matters now, 
over four years later, but it makes me wonder: Are there any other versions 
where new functionality was added, prompting a versioned dependency on a 
newer version? I've found debconf-escape from 1.4.72.

Further, will transitioning to cdebconf be possible if the only common 
specification is that behind the debconf-2.0 virtual package 
(http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/debconf_specification.html)? 
Should everything that isn't on the other end of the communication channel 
from the point of view of the maintainer scripts be separate packages, 
including debconf-escape as well as /usr/share/confmodule? All packages that 
depend on debconf should simply add debconf-2.0 as an alternative, but AFAICS 
almost no packages can possibly work without debconf, because they need 
confmodule at the very least.

Can somebody clarify?

(I've seen http://bugs.debian.org/395166 (dh_installdebconf: Should try to 
figure out the debconf version needed).)

It's a very handy place to put modules which should be loaded at boot.
Please don't remove it.

Hmm? Suppose upstream version is currently 1.07 released, and
 they are  planning on releasing 1.08 in the future. Now they are
 running through 1.08 release candidates, and so we have 1.08 rc1,
 soon to be followed by 1.08 rc2.  The upstream version variables,
 used by them, are all at 1.08 (not 1.08 '~'.

How do you propose the debian releases of the release
 candidates be numbered?  When upstream releases, upstream releases
 shall have 1.08, 1.08.1 or 1.08-1, and so on.

Yes, the debconf 'error' template type was added in a version later than
what shipped in sarge.  But then, to use this feature you can't depend on '|
debconf-2.0' either, you have to know exactly which version of cdebconf
implemented the same template type and depend on the 'or' of these two
packages specifically.  So at that point, I'm not sure the behavior of
dh_installdebconf vis à vis ${misc:Depends} is relevant.

I had an error triggered today starting from a minimal (only basic unix
machine selected in tasksel) debian etch machine upgraded to a
full-fledged unstable, by tetex-base (saying that the "description"
format was not understood). Installation of debconf-utils (which
probably pulled something else related to debconf) repaired the thing
(tetex-base could not be removed nor configured, due to the debconf
error). This error may come from the fact that I preseeded the debconf
tree (and I use a non-default debconf configuration).

This remains to be seen. The best way to find out would be for
adventerous people to start installing cdebconf, exporting
DEBCONF_USE_CDEBCONF=1, and seeing what breaks. Probably quite a few
things will, initially.
