Perhaps the `bug' package should be priority standard? It does make
bug reporting much easier.

I think it refers to the total number of pages that are shared in all
address spaces. Ie if I load Bash twice then it's code pages will be
counted twice.
I guess this is counter intuitive, ie

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

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.
abraxas# dpkg -s mmm
Package:
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.
Thanks
Bruce

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 made ncurses 4.1 for local use and could upload it right now (ok, it's
revoked). it would only take me a few hours to downgrade to the latest
ncurses 1.9.9g IIRC, and a few more to create a altdev package.

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.

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.

will include a special directory when searching for in
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

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.
