few hours, so please speak now or forever (or until the next release,
whichever comes first) hold your peace.

Turns out smbfs and nfs are clean -- it's only the msdos file systems

There's a problem with the umsdos file system that prevents scandir(3)
from working right -- it gives ENOENT instead of EOF upon successful
termination. This occurs because readdir returns ENOENT upon reaching
the end of the directory. The msdos file system has the same
problem. Here's a patch:

Ian,

Description:
You don't need the tags ("Date:", "Package:", "Version:", and
"Description:").
Ian Jackson,
The recent incident with "sysklogd" (which I have recompiled with the package
name changed back to what it was for now) points out that life would be a lot
easier if "dpkg" supported package renaming.
Thanks
Bruce

How about changing it so it looks like:

H. One set of typos I made in my recent response to Ian's
requests/suggestions started me thinkin about the format of the
changes file "File" field. Currently, it looks like:
# File:

File: e2-2.0.beta-2.diff.g
I'm taking these as statements of incremental changes desired to the
current dchanges-produced format.

I just installed the base system from the new diskette set of
yesterday. I noticed that the audio devices files are still missing,
and that /usr/lib/zoneinfo is still mode 777. The former probably
isn't that important (though it would be a good idea to create them
by default, to avoid the inevita
This problem definitely occurs in the umsdos file system code.
Further investigation indicates it also occurs in the msdos, nfs, and
smbfs file system code.
I'm reassigning this bug to the image package (or should it be the
source package? modules?).
I'll be submitting a patch in a few hours.

Saying "requires adduser >= 1.94" might be better.

No it doesn't it was written nicely so you get to keep your old
configs. The only thing wrong with it is what I mentioned in my bug
report.

Can I work around the problem by simply renaming the package (to
remove the "k") and rebuilding it from source? I _think_ that's
all I need to do.
Yes, I think that would do it.
