Bug#339085: this matters

2006-06-18 Thread Albert Cahalan
I'm on the austin-group mailing list, which is the discussion list for the POSIX committee. According to discussion on the austin-group mailing list, the POSIX spec never intended to disallow the traditional syntax. Very rarely is traditional syntax disallowed, and only with some major justificat

Package: valgrind Version: 1:3.1.1-1 Severity: grave I had the previous version of valgrind working fine. That version doesn't seem to be available anymore. It may be that valgrind is incompatible with the latest C library, which was probably upgraded at the same time. The package is obviously "u

Bug#333479: this was a serious error

2006-05-21 Thread Albert Cahalan
I lost all sorts of apps that Debian no longer packages. I even lost penguineyes. Want to package it for me? I guess it was wrong to rely on shared libraries. Debian should use static linking. About the only thing stable is the kernel system call interface. Really, it's not cool to break old bin

Bug#336710: don't do that

2005-10-31 Thread Albert Cahalan
Sure, this ought to be fixed to use gcc's option to not delete files, but... You really need to stop building stuff as root. That's nuts. This is not a Windows system. Use the fakeroot tools if you must, but that should not be required. There are lots of errors that could wipe out /dev/null, and e

Bug#335079: dropouts

2005-10-21 Thread Albert Cahalan
Package: asterisk Version: 1:1.0.9.df Severity: grave I use IAX protocol over an uncongested LAN to the IAXy adapter. I hear dropouts of about 1 second, alternating with OK sound for about 2 or 3 seconds. I get this when just listening to the local asterisk demo sounds, as well as with VOIP over t

2005-02-16 Thread Albert Cahalan
So now the title is this: Mails can't be deleted if there's not enough disk space Well, true, but that's not really the big problem. This bug causes several problems: 1. can not delete mail (minor) 2. database gets corrupt (grave) < Ouch! 3. no error message about disk space problem (imp

Bug#295270: unable to delete mail

2005-02-14 Thread Albert Cahalan
Subject: unable to delete mail Package: evolution Version: 2.0.3-1.2 Severity: grave Evolution is unable to delete mail. This "makes the package in question unusable or mostly so", thus the severity. One can not simply keep getting more mail without deleting any. Space is not infinite, so now I r
