latest dist-upgrade wants to remove gnome, gnome-core

Subject says it all. Why does the latest dist-upgrade (using testing and sarge) want to remove gnome, gnome-core, nautilus-media, gnome-media, gstreamer, and a ton more apps (most of which I installed from unstable)? This doesn't make sense to me. -- .''`. Carl B. Constantine : :' : [E

RE: gcc on a biarch system

Since other ISVs are adopting the use of linux32, I recommend consistency here. AFAIK, the basic functions of linux32 are (1) to change the architecture reported by uname, and (2) to adjust the available address space for that process to 3GB, such as you would find on most 32-bit Linux systems

Anyone to "adopt" LingoTeach - a language teaching programm?

Hi everyone, LingoTeach is a language teaching programm, and a debian package is available - but the original maintainer is not going to maintain it any more because he changed off debian. A language teaching application would be a rather cool thing to have, so I would like the inclusion (but I ha

non-root syslogd?

Has anyone investigated what would be necessary to get a non-root syslogd working under Debian? It seems like this would be a good thing, but obviously there have to be some tricky bits, else it would have happened already. :) It seems like the steps would be: Add a user for syslog to run as. c
