Dirk> GNU acct is still broken for 2.2 kernels. I thought a recompile would Dirk> fix it, but it doesn't. Robert> Not true: [..] Well, that is good news. I _thought_ I had it working as well. Maybe I just messed up on which of my two machines I was running it? Which kernel-sources, running kernel, libc6, egcc, ... are you using ? I think on my build machine it is [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> dpkg -l kernel-image-2.2.7 kernel-source-2.2.5 libc6 egcc|grep ^ii ii kernel-image-2. edd.1 Linux kernel binary image. ii kernel-source-2 2.2.5-2 Linux kernel source. ii libc6 2.0.7.19981211 GNU C Library: shared libraries ii egcc 2.91.66-0slink The GNU (egcs) C compiler. Robert> I can take over the package for you or at least make an NMU, Well, it might be sufficient if I can bounce a few things off you, and if we both try a thing or two.

Well, I wrote something simple in Perl for the last package, but Shaleh says it fails on his box. What does /usr/sbin/compare_kernel_version say for you? [ Note that I turned the $debug flag on here: ] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> /tmp/compare_kernel_version 2.0 2.2 ? 2.0 2.2 >= 2.0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> /tmp/compare_kernel_version 2.1 2.2 ? 2.1 2.2 >= 2.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> /tmp/compare_kernel_version 2.2 2.2 ? 2.2 2.2 >= 2.2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> /tmp/compare_kernel_version 2.3 2.2 ? 2.3 2.2 < 2.3 Robert> I think that shipping a broken-for-2.0.x acct package in potato Robert> would be acceptable. That was all I was shooting for given my limited time. After all, the acct in slink is fine-for-2.0-but-broken-for-2.2. -- According to the latest figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless.
