Package: kdm Version: 4:3.4.2-4 Severity: normal I recently upgraded from 3.3 to 3.4 in testing. There is a NEWS.Debian entry about KDM (and some other things), but it was not displayed. I have enables apt-listchanges, and in the same upgrade I did get NEWS items about other packages.
I've seen this with other packages, and it is usually the result of some misformatting of the entry, which is supposed to follow the same format as the changelogs. The format looks OK to me, but perhaps the problem is that the line identifying the version names kdebase rather than kdm as the package. Since the NEWS.Debian file was installed under /usr/share/doc/kdm/ and not under /usr/share/doc/kdebase/, perhaps that is causing the confusion. This would be good to fix, as displaying the appropriate NEWS items is the way to put critical upgrade information where people will have trouble missing it. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable'), (40, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27adnvcd Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages kdm depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.65 Debian configuration management sy ii kdebase-bin 4:3.4.2-4 core binaries for the KDE base mod ii kdebase-data 4:3.4.2-4 shared data files for the KDE base ii kdelibs4c2 4:3.4.2-4 core libraries for all KDE applica ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-5 GCC support library ii libpam-runtime 0.79-3 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.79-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libqt3-mt 3:3.3.5-1 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System protocol client li ii libxau6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Authentication library ii libxdmcp6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Display Manager Control Protocol ii libxtst6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System event recording an ii xbase-clients 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 miscellaneous X clients ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System client libraries m Versions of packages kdm recommends: ii logrotate 3.7.1-2 Log rotation utility -- debconf information: kdm/stop_running_server_with_children: false * kdm/default_servers_nolisten_tcp: * kdm/default_servers_100dpi: * shared/default-x-display-manager: kdm * kdm/default_nolisten_udp: kdm/daemon_name: /usr/bin/kdm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
