The /etc/init.d/mysql script on one of my systems is complaning that it
can't find /bin/dirname and /bin/basename. Line 24 of the script is
this:
SELF=$(cd $(dirname $0); pwd -P)/$(basename $0)
Both dirname and basename live in /usr/bin, not /bin.

When my ISP encounters an email that it cannot scan for viruses, it
prepends ***UNCHECKED*** to the subject. This occurs on every encrypted
email I receive. It's highly annoying, and the ISP refuses to fix this.

I need to set up a couple usb cameras to record video based on motion
detection. I prefer ease of setup to a large feature set, since this is
expected to be only temporary. I want to only record when there is motion, so
I don't have hours of footage to search through.

Looking for advice from people in the know...
I submitted a general bug regarding packages which require changing your
init system to systemd. I pointed out that this runs counter to
Debian's goals of supporting multiple init systems. The bug was closed
without fixing in a matter of hours.

I'm trying to figure out, for example, what causes brasero to ultimately depend
on systemd. I found a utility called debtree, but it produces too much output
to be of use to me -- it shows all dependency chains starting at brasero, but I
am only interested in the one that ends at systemd.

I removed the systemd package from my Jessie system, and it took brasero with
it. Brasero depends on gvfs, and gvfs has some trail of dependencies that
leads to systemd. I'm thinking that the gvfs dependency doesn't make sense for
brasero, but I wanted to get input from this list before I file
