Hi,
when I start ddd (from ddd-smotif) on a remote hamm system it cannot
resolve the hostname given in the DISPLAY variable:
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't get address for pcrz64
If I set the DISPLAY to the IP address, it is ok.
Other X11 applications don't show this problem.
I argue that

Did you manage to build a acct package for 2.1.96?
If so, could I get it from you?

Hi,
is there a way to provide the configuration (i.e., to manipulate the
debconf backend database) for a package prior to installing the
package? Afterwards it should be possible to install the package
with the non-interactive frontend.
Thanks for any help, Thomas

yes, that's what I want to do. My aim is to use FAI (Fully automated

after the last upgrade from a hamm mirror the X font metrics in
emacs are completely messed up such that any text becomes
unreadable and the characters seem to be placed in the

Since this problem occurs also when displaying a remote emacs

when I install a package from unstable it sometimes happens that
something is seriously broken and I'd like downgrade the package
again. But the last recent version of the package has already
disappeared from all the ftp mirrors and it is not easy to go

Hi,
the configuration files of all debian packages are located in /etc.
That's really fine.
But the package manager stores its configuration (access method,
list of selected packages, ...) somewhere in /var/lib/dpkg. Why?
If these items would be stored in /etc, one could rebuild the
system from

Ok.
So the information about the configured access method and the list
of selected packages should be

Hi,
shouldn't we mark #31824 (html2ps: can't execute) as critical?
html2ps does not work at all with this bug. Fortunately the bug
can be fixed by deleting an erroneous character in the script.

Hi,
when I tried to have a look at gnome-apt_0.3_i386.deb
I found that it depends on several potato packages.
I tried to install as much as needed (well, as the deb dependencies
indicate) but still get some missing so dependencies:
# gnome-apt
gnome-apt: error in loading shared libraries
