1996-08-10 Thread roro
Package: modules Version: 2.0.0-7 Depmod fails to create the right side in the dependency file modules.dep. I suggest a modification to a previous applied fix to Bug#3781 in 2.0.0-6: Close the file *after* the last usage. mfg Rolf Rossius --- modules_2.0.0/depmod/load_obj.c.2.0.0-7 Sat A

Another problem: ncurses-base-1.9.8a-1.deb should have a debian.preinst to kill the link etc/terminfo -> ../usr/lib/terminfo provided by base-0.93.6. Or it is intended that these fall into /usr/lib/terminfo? And how to elegantly get rid of the huge /usr/lib/terminfo database w/o installing and pur

Please keep in mind: ncurses 1.9.7a searches the terminfo entries in - $HOME/.terminfo or, if set in $TERMINFO and then in - /etc/terminfo (this is the debian-special for /usr/lib/terminfo) The first could provide a scheme for startup (/usr not mounted) without hacking the sources
