The bug is in the libldap package. When you get a new version of that (which I believe is out now, even for the standard repositories) then all applications that use LDAP (including Evolution, xscreensaver, Apache, etc.) will use it and have the fix. There's no need for a new Apache package, beca

This is still in -proposed? I think it's pretty clear what this bug is and that it's fixed by the update; we've had a number of people testing it and reporting success already. Plus, if you look at the actual patch, it's pretty clear that it fixes the problem. IMHO this should get promoted out o

Here's something weird. I upgraded to 8.10, but my kernel still says 2.6.25, not 2.6.27. It's like the new Intrepid kernel was not installed...?!?! I wonder if setting a "keep" on the older kernel caused a problem. I'm going to forcibly install the newer Intrepid kernel. -- laptop powers off

I added a new /etc/init.d script that just uses logger to generate a message every second and set it up to start automatically at S99. After rebooting a number of times it seems that the system goes about 85 seconds (lowest I got was 84; highest 87) after it starts my script at S99, then reboots.
