Package: sendmail
Version: 8.7.5-4
See the recent CERT Advisory CA-96.20 for more information.
It says that Debian is not vulnerable because it uses smail,
but that's not completely true, smail is the default but
sendmail is also available, and I'm not convinced that smail
has no bugs - it's just

Hi, I'm very sorry to say that I don't have the time that I need

What version of tar are you using? tar 1.11.11 is a beta that changes
tar's behavior in all sorts of terrible ways. GNU accidentally
released it and then wi
How hard would it be to move the remaining config scripts (the ones that
configure network parameters, lilo, etc) off of the root disk and into a
debian package?
That debian package could then be part of the base system, so it is there when
it is needed, but the config utilities will still be pres

Package: psutils
Version: 1.16-3
The psmerge utility only writes the prolog of files it reads. It is even
not able to merge a single file (which should be equivalent to a cat).
Looking at the source, it looks like some parts of the PS are gobbled
without being printed.

Package: nvi
Version: 1.34-13
This version of nvi is quite old. Please can it be updated to 1.76 or later?
It can be retrieved from:

I'd just like to know if someone's already doing that. If not, I'll do it.

Version: 8.7.5-4
sendmail 8.7.6 needs to be packaged ASAP.
BTW, CERT also says:

which is misleading.

I _was_ wrong in thinking update and bdflush had no source packages of

Package: xbase

mkdirhier claims that it cannot create an already existent dir when two / are
consecutives.
bash# /bin/sh mkdirhier /tmp/toto//titi
mkdir: cannot make directory `//tmp/toto/': File exists
On other Unixes that provide a real "sh" Bourne shell, there is no trouble.
Package: xview-dev
Version: 3.2p1.2-1
XView.tmpl sets MKDIRHIER to mkdirhier instead of leaving default value from
X-Window config files.
Since mkdirdier is buggy under Linux (see my other bug report), mkdir -p should
be used instead.
Just commenting out this setting may reverts changes back to X

Hi!
What's the exact purpose of the .tar.gz source packages and the diff? I'm
asking because I want to create a package for the metapost system, that's
like metafont but produces postscript output. The currently available
distribution is a patch against the latest webc, 6.3 I think, which is a
