confusion regarding kernel-source and ibcs source
Recently, I grabbed the newest ibcs source (ibcs_970513-2) and compiled it sucessfully on my machine (running hamm and kernel 2.0.29). I then proceeded to try the same thing on two other debian machines (running 1.3) using the same source for ibcs. It choked because /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h was missing. I realized that I did not install the kernel source on these machines and did so and tried again. Still choked due to that missing file. So I decided to look at if modversion.h was included in the kernel source. It isn't. Doing a search using dpkg --search, I found out that file only exists in modutils: /usr/doc/modules/examples/Stacking/modversions.h So my question is, does kernel-package put that file into the source tree? Or, more generally, how did it get into my source tree? Also, should there be some documentation in the ibcs package warning of this? Cheers. -- Colin R.

However, /etc/init.d/inittab exists which is seems like a spare. If I diff the two, I get: frisch# diff inittab init.d/inittab 48,51c48 < # This line is special for the Debian installation system. < # This file will be replaced when installation completes. < 1:2345:respawn:/bin/login root /dev/tty1 2>&1 < # 1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 - --- > 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 frisch# I was just going to overwrite /etc/inittab with /etc/init.d/inittab, but I thought I would be overly cautious and ask it this is the correct thing to do.

trn and inews
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- When installing trn, the dependency screen pops up and suggests (ie. puts an asterisk beside) both cnews and inews. Shouldn't this only select one of the two? I don't know what package to report a bug against, so I thought I would ask here first. Cheers, Colin. - -- Colin R.

Need some help determining which package owns a perl bug
A perl script called sync-plan included in pilot-link calls both MD5.pm (from the libmd5-perl package) and and PDA/Pilot.pm (from the pilot-link-perl package). Both of these live in /usr/lib/perl. However, when sync-plan is executed, the following error message appears: Can't locate PDA/Pilot.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.005 /usr/lib/perl5/5.005 /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/bin/sync-plan line 6. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/sync-plan line 6. the top few lines of sync-plan are: #!/usr/bin/perl use IO::Socket; use IO::Select; use Time::Local; use PDA::Pilot; use MD5; I've switched the two last lines and the same sort of error message appears for MD5.pm. It seems to me that there are two possible solutions - either perl itself is not looking all the places it should (i.e. @INC should include /usr/lib/perl) or libmd5-perl and pilot-link-perl installed their respective perl files in the wrong spot (i.e. they should have installed them somewhere in @INC). Please let me know which and I will file what ever bug reports are necessary. Cheers. -- Colin Telmer, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.telmer.com>

I quickly realized that this is an artifact of per5.005 - I'll downgrade. Cheers.

Alarming Pine/remote netscape problem
(Perhaps I shouldn't post this to -devel, but I find this problem quite alarming and thought others should be aware of it) I have recently discovered that if I send mail from my work computer (SunStation) using Netscape 4.05 to my home computer (Debian slink) that if I reply to the message, the original message is sent back _instead_ of my reply. This _only_ happens if "Send HTML as default" is turned on in Netscape and I select "Send both Plain Text and HTML" when prompted sending the original note in Netscape. If I just send a plain text note, this doesn't happen. I always send plain text, but I have received and replied to notes from others that don't and now suddenly am quite concerned if the original sender received my reply. Anyway, it seems that somehow either pine and/or smail sees the html as an attachment and then sends that back instead. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything I can do about it? One more thing: the only difference I can see in the headers of each note is the "Content-type" (below). From the first note, all I received back at work is the original note. Alternatively, perhaps some mime program I have installed is causing this - any ideas? Any help is very much appreciated.
