Foolish me: I'd been happily running ssh 1:2.2.0p1 on my Potato
system, and then I upgraded to ssh 1:2.2.0p1-1.1. (I got both of
those versions from "unstable".) Well, that newer version doesn't
work on potato, because it requires a newer libc. I don't care to
upgrade libc, and ssh is now broke

I just received my Debian 2.2 CDs from Cheapbytes -- 3 binary
CD-ROMS. I could not boot off the first one (the installation program
complained that it couldn't mount the rescue image).
I decided to run `md5sum' on each file on the CD-ROM, and compare its
output with the file /cdrom/md5sum.txt.
I can't figure out how to see console messages while I'm using X (I'm
using Gnome, if it matters). I do recall that it was straightforward
on earlier releases of Debian, but I can't recall how it was done.
Now if I start xconsole after logging in, it displays an error "Can't
open console". I tr
I've installed a test system, on which there is absolutely no

to make my root password empty. I realize that on a production
machine, this would not be a great idea.

This morning I ran `dselect', chose "[U]pdate", "[S]elect", and

As of version: 5.8.3-4, the newsreader Gnus is broken: when you start
it, instead of doing anything usefule, it simply reports an error.
There are a few bug reports on this already; here's one:

Anyway, if you usually use Gnus to read and send
The descriptions of those packages in /var/lib/dpkg/available are identical.
I've been upgrading my potato installation about every day for months,
and usually only a few packages get upgraded. But earlier today, I
started my usual upgrade process, and pulled down the latest
Packages.gz file for potato/main, and (I use dselect) noticed that
many (thirty or more?) of my ins
I have not submitted this as a bug, because I'm not yet sure what's
going on. But I figured I'd post this to see if anyone has had
similar experience, or has any ideas.
Earlier today, as root, I ran `vcstime'. This program causes the time
of day to appear in the corner of all the text-mode conso
Back in October I posted a message
(http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-user-9910/msg00689.html)
to the Debian user list in which I complained about `ping' hanging on
recent kernels. I've since found a workaround, but I don't think I
told any of you about it, so if you're interested, here
For what it's worth: I installed the 2.2.12 kernel on my working slink
installation (which has never had the problem), rebooted, and promptly
saw name resolution hang. I restored the 2.0.36 kernel, and
everything worked again.
Last month I had a problem: in short, I installed potato, and noticed
that name resolution hung, although things worked fine if I used a
numeric IP address.
I've included below the plea for help that I sent last month. It
describes the problem in detail.
Well, in case anyone's interested, I hav
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my system? At first I assumed it
was a bug in the resolver library, and opened a bug against libc6 in

Debian libc6 maintainer is sure that my system is merely
misconfigured.

I've uncommented `DontZap' in /etc/X11/XF86COnfig; that prevents
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace from killing the server ...
Please respond by email, as I don't regularly read this group.
Thanks!
