I presume that a lot of people are installing some cdrom version or the
released version of Debian. The changes were in the unstable version.
How many weeks to go for the next release?

Perhaps this package needs higher priority.

xarchie is in non-free part of the archive. Not on cdrom.

LaTeX package was broken. Is fixed in version 2e-7. You need mflib 1.0-8
as well.

Hi all,
Some dos oriented machines can acces my Debian box via a wd network
card connected via coax. For some time this went pretty well, the login
prompt showed up in 1 or 2 seconds. This isn't the case anymore, it takes
approx 15 to 30 seconds before the login prompt shows up. any body having

I have a problem with root login again. All other logins are fine,
but root login is waiting after I typed the password. Even

Ray Dassen and Jan Wender).
now I use the following:
find /home/ftp/pub/debian -size +459976c -noleaf -type f -name '*.deb'| \
xargs -l -i sh -c "dpkg --info {} >/dev/null && dpkg-split -s {} && rm {}"
This gives a lot
Hi all,
this might be a more unix oriented question but I'll ask it anyway
because it is very debian related too:
I would like to find packages bigger than 459976 bytes and split them
with dpkg-split, if splitting is succesfull I'll remove the package.
I have come at the following but it doesn't
More info on dpkg / dselect install jobs can be found in /var/lib/dpkg
or by adding --debug as an option.
please check dselect --help and / or dpkg --help
Perhaps more sofisticated ways to log exist but I don't know about them.
