Shameless plug, what is the status of "DEP-4: Translation packages in
Debian (TDebs)" http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep4/ ?
Cheers.

bind runs apt-cache during shutdown????
Seen in Lenny. Is it really necessary to run apt-cache in order
to shut down BIND?

Bug#601114: ITP: ffms2 -- An FFmpeg based source library and Avisynth plugin for easy frame accurate access
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Reinhard Tartler * Package name: ffms2 Version : 2.13 Upstream Author : Fredrik Mellbin, Mike Matsnev * URL : http://code.google.com/p/ffmpegsource * License : MIT (but debian packages will be GPL'ed because of linking against ffmpeg) Programming Lang: C++ Description : An FFmpeg based source library and Avisynth plugin for easy frame accurate access FFmpegSource (usually known as FFMS or FFMS2) is a cross-platform wrapper library around FFmpeg, plus some additional components to deal with file formats FFmpeg's libavformat has (or used to have) problems with. It gives you an easy, convenient way to say "open and decompress this media file for me, I don't care how you do it" and get frame- and sample-accurate access (usually), without having to bother with the sometimes less than straightforward and less than perfectly documented FFmpeg API. The library is written in C++, but the public API is C-friendly and it's easy to simply include and link directly with a pure C application. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

A bug report may or may not be warranted further down the line, but at this stage it's far from clear where the bug lies even if it exists. --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

My /etc/init.d/bind9 has: DISTRO=$(lsb_release -is 2>/dev/null || echo Debian) lsb_release seems to call apt-cache policy. On one hand, the value of $DISTRO doesn't seem to be used anywhere. So I am not sure why this is needed. On the other hand, so what if it calls apt-cache policy - does that matter?

Re: bind runs apt-cache during shutdown????
Mike Bird wrote: > Seen in Lenny. Is it really necessary to run apt-cache in order > to shut down BIND? The Lenny package's /etc/init.d/bind9 script calls 'lsb_release -is' to determine the distribution and if the 'lsb-release' package is installed then the lsb_release script calls 'apt-cache policy'. The result of which was not used. I believe you could comment out that line without any ill effects although I didn't test it. Or alternatively you could remove the 'lsb-release' package. The current Sid version of bind9's /etc/init.d/bind9 script does not call 'lsb_release' and therefore this issue seems to have been addressed in the latest Squeeze. Bob P.S.

It takes about fifteen seconds for apt-cache to run on a system that hasn't previously accessed those files. That's a significant fraction of the overall reboot time.
