Is there an imposter around? My last upload must have been half a year ago or
so.
Maybe someone just forgot to change the maintainer name again.

Hi,
Yesterday I got a bug report against dump from someone running
Debian on a m68k machine. His problem was that he used the
new e2fsprogs, but the old dump binary -12 instead of -14.
Question:
How do we avoid this sort of problem? How is the compilation for
non-Maintainer
architectures handled
hy.
how can i do this :
i want to set the variable CPPFLAGS in my debian/rules, so all processes
called by make will have an evironment variable CPPFLAGS with that
content.
concret : i need to set CPPFLAGS in environment, so configure scripts
will include a special directory when searching for in

I don't use these daemons anymore, so I have no way to test that the packages
work. I'm looking for a new maintainer for both.
These packages are *not* orphaned yet, I will continue to maintain them
until a new maintainer steps forward.

One thing for developers to do is to make sure that you respond NICELY
to bug reports. I have reported bugs and have had responses from
developers that were downright nasty about it...

I think you have to tell dselect where non-free and contrib are so that it
can find their Packages files. It asks about this when you choose an access
method.

Hello!
I've made a CD-ROM with the debian-cd package. Everything works
fine. I can select the packages I like, even from non-free. But after
completing the install process, the packages from non-free are left
out. It is possible to install them by hand using dpkg -i.

I just tried starting xnest but it says it cannot find font 'Fixed' and
immediately stops again. What's going on?
I do use xfs and no hardcoded fontpaths for my xserver. Can this be the
reason?

One solution is to simply add a new field to the control file. dpkg &
friends do preserve extra fields. `Perl-Module:' perhaps?

I think it refers to the total number of pages that are shared in all

I guess this is counter intuitive, ie

bug reporting much easier.
