Bug#291235: RFP: libcgrep -- Library for Fast and Flexible Word Searching on Compressed Text

[Jari Aalto]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


* Package name: libcgrep
  Version : x.y.z
  Upstream Author : Paolo Ferragina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://roquefort.di.unipi.it/~ferrax/CompressedSearch/
* License : GPL
  Description : Search through compressed file (fast)

Summary:

- In summary,CGrep is about four times faster than ZGrep, and
  additionally it supports fast advanced IR-searches that are
  completely absent in the Grep-family tools.

Preconditions:

- doxygen
- agrep

Following programs are included:

- huffw; to (de)compress a textual file according to the Huffword paradigm
- cgrep; search for complicated patterns over the Huffword-compressed files

Following libraries are included:

Huffword Library: This library offers some algorithms and data
structures for the efficient (de)compression of textual files. The
compression paradigm is a variant of the Huffman algorithm, here
adapted to be byte-aligned, tagged and word oriented. More
precisely, the tokens are alphanumeric words, and the codewords
are byte sequences with some tagged bits that allow to guarantee
synchronization. The tagging is obtained as follows: the Huffman
tree has fan-out 128, and the arc labels of 7 bits are stored in
the least significant bits of a byte; the codeword is finally
constructed by setting the first bit of the first byte to 1, and
the first bit of each other byte to 0. This compression paradigm
can be improved by removing each single space that occurs between
two alphanumeric tokens, hereafter called Spaceless Model.

 CGrep Library: This library offers all the pattern-matching
functionalities that allow to search over Huffword compressed
files. Actually the search consists of three steps: first the
complex pattern query (possibly involving errors, reg exp, )
is resolved against the dictionary of tokens, built at compression
time by the Huffword algorithm. The tokens that satisfy the query
are coded and then their codewords are searched directly onto the
compressed file (note that this is an exact multiple-patterns
search). This approach induces a twofold speedup: the search cost
is actually proportional to the length of the compressed file, no
decompression at all is required; and the search cost for
complicated patterns (like reg exp, errors,) depends on the
dictionary size, which is small compared to the entire file. The
features that we have implemented in addition to the original
paper are: proximity query, arbitrary number of query-patters each
with its search options, snippet extraction.

Bug#291727: aewm++-goodies: Inconsistent binary name. Please user aewm++ for all

[Jari Aalto]

Package: aewm++-goodies
Version: 1.0-5
Severity: normal


There seems to be "ae_" and "aewm++" prefixes in the programs. It would be
more consistent to use "aewm++" prefix (according to package). Perhaps
also the underscores could be changed to dashes, as dasheas are the
preferred naming in many files, like invoke-rc.d etc.

/usr/bin/ae_fspanel => aewm++-fspanel (*)
/usr/bin/appbar => aewm++-appbar 
/usr/bin/setrootimage   => aewm++-setrootimage
/usr/bin/aewm++_xsession=> aewm++-xsession (*)

If the status quo must be preserved, perhaps at least (*) names could
be canonicalized.

Bug#292579: RFP: miwm -- MIcroscopic Window Manager - super light and fast

[Jari Aalto]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


* Package name: miwm
  Version : 1.1
  Upstream Author : Ben Wise <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://freshmeat.net/projects/miwm/
* License : GPL
  Description : MIcroscopic Window Manager - super light and fast

MIcroscopic Window Manager (MIWM) is a fast, small, minimalist, and
extremely reliable window manager. It is designed to do the job very
simply and unobtrusively, without constraining power users. It
features optional auto-tiling, desktop cleanup, a user-defined root
menu, optional previewing of hidden windows, variable numbers of
virtual desktops, and configurable window behavior. It includes a
simple, very effective memory management utility for leak detection.

Bug#292580: RFP: button-panel-bs -- Button panel for minimalistic window managers

  Description : Button panel for minimalistic window managers

>From site:

Abstract. bs is a simple programmable button shell for X that I wrote
years ago. Despite being a powerful tool, supporting user-defined
dialog layout, bs is actually a very simple and short program. The
source code of bs is fully explained in this article. This explanation
provides brief introduction to Xt, widgets, callbacks and callback
data. I also show how easy it is to use Motif widgets instead of
Athena widgets, for which bs was originally developed.

Bug#292636: cvsd: On startup fialure, the program does not return error code on exit

[Jari Aalto]

Package: cvsd
Severity: normal


The /etc/init.d/cvsd start command does not diplsya error if process
could not be started. The problem is that cvsd does not return failure
code on exit. An exmaple:

$ start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/cvsd.pid --exec 
/usr/sbin/cvsd -- -f /etc/cvsd/cvsd.conf && echo $?
0

And /var/log/syslog reads:

No process has been started and the pid file is lying around:

Correct. FW variable was defined in shorewall.conf. Perhaps the error
message could be made more verbose to suggest to check the
contants of shorewall.conf

I've attached portion of /etc/fstab [1]. The other entries are NFS and

It's the only yaird in the system.[2]

All ok. [3]

Hm. That worked? [4]

Hope the logs help to solve this. If you need more information, I can
try more tests.

| Looks like the bug silently went away: if I understand your mail correctly,
| when you dpkg-reconfigure a kernel, you get a new /boot/initrd.img and you
| have the sh -x output to prove it.
| 
| Lets close this bug report. Just to be safe, you may want to keep
| the 'set -x' in your mkinitrd.yaird: that way you can show detailed
| debug info if the issue should reappear.

It would be nice to know what caused it. I may encounter it
again, when I upgrade other machines.

But if the bug appears dusinrg the install phase, I can't put the "set
 -x" in there to see what it's doing.

Is it possible to run "install package in debug mode" using the apt-get?

[Jari Aalto]

Following my other posts: Here is install report from another machine,
with exactly the same results. I've tried to reproduce as much debug
as I know. Let me know how can I help more.

[1] Install yaird first, then try install kernel. Failure log.
[2] During install, /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird log with -d for perl.
[3] the log of failed call to /sbin/modprobe
[4] content of /etc/fstab which may help debugging the parsing of yaird
[5] Environment information (yaird version etc.)

Bug#342890: bash: /etc/skel/.bashrc should use $() and not unreadable ``

[Jari Aalto]

Package: bash
Version: 3.0-17
Severity: normal

There are couple of places where `` are used in the /etc/skel/.bashrc.
It would be  better to use more visually  readable alternative $() for
everything. The backtick(`)  is  hard  to find  and  type in  various
terminals  and  depending on  font,  it's  barely  visible and  easily
confused with tick(').

Bug#343105: approx: [Debian testing] /etc/cron.weekly/approx fails to run

[Jari Aalto]

Package: approx
Version: 2.00
Severity: normal

The cron job /etc/cron.weekly/approx includes lines

  find /var/cache/approx/. -type d -empty | xargs rmdir
  su approx -c "gc_approx --quiet"

PROBLEMS

  1. There is no account "gc_approx"
  2. xargs fails if find(1) call is empty

SUGGESTION

- Not sure what to suggest for [1]. Perhaps call should
  test the existence of account gc_approx first? point to
  account creation script in the approx package?

- use option "--no-run-if-empty" with xargs to prevent failure.

| The debian installer is a minimal system, this precules stuff like gpm,
| which doesn't work reliably accross a wide variety of hardware anyway.
| 
| If you need a /mnt directory, the system contains a mkdir command. As a

I would not call a preset "/mnt" waste of space, but an expected
layout. Thank you for considering.

Bug#343284: chkrootkit: Line up entries in the report listing (better visually fo spotting problems)

[Jari Aalto]

Package: chkrootkit
Version: 0.46a-2
Severity: minor


Currently the output of the program reads like:

Checking `write'... not infected
Checking `aliens'... no suspect files
Searching for sniffer's logs, it may take a while... nothing found
Searching for HiDrootkit's default dir... nothing found
Searching for t0rn's default files and dirs... nothing found
Searching for t0rn's v8 defaults... nothing found
Searching for Lion Worm default files and dirs... nothing found
Searching for RSHA's default files and dir... nothing found
Searching for RH-Sharpe's default files... nothing found
Searching for Ambient's rootkit (ark) default files and dirs... nothing found

SUGGESTION

Use printf() to make the "... not infected" and "... nothing found"
results appear to the right somewhere at suitable column (if assumed std 
terminal has room for 80 characters) to
line up the listing. Like:

Checking rite'...  not infected
   
Checking 
liens'... no suspect files
Searching for sniffer's logs, it may take a while...nothing found

This would make it visually more clear to see if there appeared "INFECTED"
or the sort message.

Bug#343723: dovecot: Add support for /etc/hosts.{deny,allow} (tcp wrappers)

[Jari Aalto]

Package: dovecot
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice if dovecot would link and include code to handle
tcp wrappers defined in /etc/hosts.{deny,allow}

This would be similar to the sshd server, where access could be easily
resstricted to certain Ip addresses with a simple configuration file.

The alternative to use iptables is much difficult because:

- iptables is much more advanced and complex
- using raw iptables is not common for average users
- there are several firewall products, whose configuration
  cannot be transferred to other hosts
  (copying relevant entry from /etc/hosts.{deny,allow} is easy

Overall the support for /etc/hosts.{deny,allow} would increase
security when anyone (not just iptables geek) could understand and
define how to restrict access.

No need, if the program is dead

Ok,

Would it be possible to make the error more specific to indicate where
the rule was read. Along with a tag [POSSIBLE USER CONFIG ERROR] or
something.

In either case, please document ARGS. In future tor(1) releases it can

The displayed:

Nov 10 10:34:08.189 [notice] Tor 0.1.0.15 opening log file.
Nov 10 10:34:08.190 [notice] Initialized libevent version 1.1a using method

ports.
Nov 10 10:34:08.193 [err] init_from_config(): Acting on config options left 
us in a broken state. Dying.

However it was not obvious what was wrong so I ran strace, which
showed:

  19377 bind(8, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(9050), 
sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.1.3")}, 16) = -1 EADDRNOTAVAIL (Cannot assign 
requested address)

I had put 

  SocksBindAddress 192.168.1.3

In there by mistake. The "HOST" is known by 192.168.1.2 and 127.0.0.1,
so this was the reason for EADDRNOTAVAIL.

SUGGESTION:

could the error bessage display the IP it tries to bind along with a
hint. Something like: "I can only bind local addresses, does this ip
belog to this host?"

Bug#346128: xprint: package should be able to removed without removing whole X

[Jari Aalto]

Package: xprint
Version: 1:0.1.0.alpha1-13
Severity: normal

In systems that do not use any printing capabilities, the xprint package 
is useless. In Debian it is started at almost every run level 

rc0.d/K20xprint
rc1.d/K20xprint
rc2.d/S20xprint
rc3.d/S20xprint
rc4.d/S20xprint
rc5.d/S20xprint
rc6.d/K20xprint

It also consumes unnecessary memory in low memory systems

Trying to remove the package causes a snowball effect which would
also remove essential X package:

Bug#346251: bzrtools: The package description string is too vague (add "meat")

[Jari Aalto]

Package: bzrtools
Version: 0.6.1-1
Severity: normal

The package reads:

Description: Collection of tools for bzr
 This package contains a collection of plugins for bzr - a distributed
 version control system. Some of these tools may work their way into
 bzr itself at some point, and some are just convenient addons useful
 for day to day operations.

This doesn't explain what the package offers and down't give rope to
the user to decide if it conttains utilities for him.

- "collection of plugins" ... which are?
- "Some of these tools may work" ... some don't?
- "convenient addons" ... exactly what they do or how they help?

This is all puzzling. Please add more in depth explanation to list
either a) new commands provided b) tasks provided or c) use cases
to demontrate the usability enhancements.

Please offer encryption of the configuration file, which is unlocked
at the initial start of centericq. Even using crypt(1) for encryption
is better than no security at all.

Bug#336105: shorewall: old DNAT rules are not removed after 'restart'

[Jari Aalto]

Package: shorewall
Version: 2.4.5-1
Severity: important

It appears that once a DNAT rule has been done, it persists even
accross 'restart' or 'force-reload'. This is a serious security hole,
because the old rules should not be there any more if chnages has been
done to the /etc/shorewall/rules file.

HOW TO REPRODUCE


Have A and B host in local network, access it from external host
C. The connection happens to A, which forwards port  to B's 22.

C =>  ( A  -> [2022:dnat:22] -> B )

a) initial settings in /etc/shorewall/rules

  ACCEPT net fw tcp 2022
  DNAT   net loc:192.168.1.2:22 tcp 

- Connect to A, which should forward to B. 
- Complete login to B with ssh.

b) change the above settings to following:

  ACCEPT net fw tcp 
  DNAT   net loc:192.168.1.2:22 tcp 

- Restart shorewall: /etc/init.d/shorewall restart
- Connect to A, but *using* previous forward, port 2022.

=>  You're forwarded to B. 

Confirm that the previous rule still exists:

  iptables -L | grep 2022

Hi,

Wishlist. Hm, I would consider this a bug for this reason alone:

1)  The display "g" should show all 
in clear text until the encryption is put into place.

Now it gives false impression of "security", when there is none.

Also, the chmod permission is not enough for passwords, which are
stored on disk. All the files go to the backup, so the design should
be changed ASAP.
 
Please raise the bug level.

"minor" or "normal" bug due to (1). The UI isn't consistent with

Hi,

I can't seem to reproduce it either. But when I reported the bug
I tried it over an over and couldn't figure out why it kept remembering
the connection.

This may have to do with reboot; or solar flares to that matter.

Consider this bug closed

Bug#340748: shorewall: [v3] ERROR: Only one firewall zone may be defined

[Jari Aalto]

Package: shorewall
Version: 3.0.1-1
Severity: important

After upgrade to v4 shorewall I changed the zone file to (ipsecfile is
empty):

ZONEShort name of the zone (5 Characters or less in
length). The names "all" and "none" are
reserved and may not be used as zone names.

TYPEipv4 -  This is the standard Shorewall zone type and is
the default if the column is left empty or if
it is entered as "-".  Communication with some
zone hosts may be encrypted. Encrypted hosts
are designated using the 'ipsec' option in

ipsec - Communication with all zone hosts is encrypted

exactly one 'firewall' zone. No options are

You're correct. Running "editor" gives plain "joe". The editor should
be handled specially from the other alternatives links, so that script
could resolve the first link and call exec. Like this:

$ cd /etc/alternatives
$ mv /etc/editor editor.link
$ cat editor

#!/bin/sh

# Read the binary pointed by link
for item in $(ls -l /etc/alternatives/editor.link)
do 
path=$item
done

exec  $path "$@"

# End of file

Would you redirect this bug to right address (dpkg?)

I'm not sure if you understood. I did not suggest adding new

| I don't want that.  (1) I don't like debconf questions for package

| inetd, better use tcpsvd from ipsvd, if not standalone; (3) it's trivial

I would consider using debconf as a service to the end users that
install Debian packages. Dropbear does support inetd, so it should be
irrelevant for the maintainer how the end user selects to install it.
The comments could always be recorded to README.Debian if needed.

Debian offers good tools to manage inet.conf, so it would enhance the
dropbear package if it made use of them. Manual install is alwys more
tedious than a good packaging in the long run. Not to mentioo package
removals (how can one remember all manual tweakings?)

Severity: normal

Manual page reads:

 -u This option enables the transformation of Uniform Resource
Locators of the form /~user/ into the the directory
~user/public_html (but see the -p option below).

Please add this note to the text:

Note, that -u conflicts with option -t, because _all_ the
directories must be relative to it, including home
directories.

The code uses call to getpwnam() which fails for all users, if bozohttpd
is started with option -t, as it is now in the default configuration.

  Remove an entry from /etc/inetd.conf . You  can  use  a  regular

The "use regular expression" is misleading, because it will not remove
entry matching RE. The ENTRY is matched agains the service name, not
the full line. Please clarify it to read something like:

   --remove ENTRY
  Remove an entry from /etc/inetd.conf . You  can  use  a  regular
  expression to remove the entry. The regular expression
  must match at the beginning of line. Note, that
  mere '--remove bozohttpd' will not remove the inetd

Bug#311297: RFP: fldiff -- Lightweight graphical program to show differences between files/directories

[Jari Aalto]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: fldiff
  Version : 1.0
  Upstream Author : Michael Sweet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://www.easysw.com/~mike/fldiff/
* License : GPL v2
  Description : Lightweight graphical program to show differences between 
files/directories

(Include the long description here.)

fldiff is a graphical diff program that shows the differences between
two files/directories, or a file/directory and a CVS or Subversion
repository. It is inspired by xdiff (Motif-based) and xxdiff
(Qt-based), whose choice of GUI toolkit has hampered their portability
to many of the systems.

fldiff uses the Fast Light Toolkit (FLTK) and has been tested on AIX,
IRIX, Linux, MacOS X, and Solaris, and should also run on Windows.

NOTE;

Michael is the primary developer behind the defacto standard printing
system for UNIX/Linux/OSX (CUPS).

Bug#311322: RFP: xps -- Show processes as a colored graphical tree.

[Jari Aalto]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: xps
  Version : 4.2
  Upstream Author : Rocky Bernstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/motif-pstree
* License : GPL
  Description : Show processes as a colored graphical tree. 

(Include the long description here.)

Like console based pstree(1), but this utility is for window
system. The status is indicated by color.  Pictures available at the
sourceforge URL.

The xps program displays and continuously updates in an X Window the
Unix processes as a tree or forest. The roots of the tree are on the
left-hand side and the leaf processes (with no children) are on the
right-hand side. The status of each process (running, sleeping,
stopped, etc.) can be indicated by a color. Different users can appear
as different colors too.

Within each level, processes are grouped so that those with the same
parent process id are grouped together. Within this, processes are
arranged by userid with lower number uid's appearing towards the
top. In general, the order of children is the order in which they were
spawned, with the older processes appearing towards towards the top.

In contrast to pstree and many tree-widget based programs, the overall
tree display uses diagonal lines; some effort is made to effectively
use the full 2-dimensional area of the screen by balancing levels and
centering the children of a node between their parent. A goal of the
program is to visually give a picture of what's going on. So when
possible processes are kept close to their parents so one needn't
scroll around too much and so that there isn't a lot of redrawing as
processes are created or destroyed.

One can click on a process to get more information (via ps) about that
process, send a signal to the process, or set its priority, assuming
you have the permission to do so. Since programs of this ilk can
consume a bit of CPU on their own, some effort has been made to turn
off the update process when the program is iconified or or not
visible.

Bug#311472: RFP: oleo -- Light-weight GTK and curses based spreadsheet

[Jari Aalto]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: oleo
  Version : 1.99.16
  Upstream Author : 
* URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/oleo/oleo.html
* License : GPL
  Description : Light-weight GTK and curses based spreadsheet

(Include the long description here.)

See picture: http://www.gnu.org/software/oleo/oleo1.png

Oleo has for a long time been GNU's spreadsheet. Now there's not only
Oleo but also Gnumeric, the GNOME spreadsheet. Gnumeric is a full
featured spreadsheet, aiming to compete with commercial applications,
and well integrated with GNOME. Oleo is a light-weight spreadsheet
that'll work in almost any environment.

Oleo features a curses based interface (character mode), but also a
LessTif (Motif) based graphical user interface. A screenshot of the
Motif GUI is here (11K png file).

The current snapshots implements the following 2.0 features : 

- Motif/LessTif interface, based on the XbaeMatrix widget 
- Access to the statistics functions of the GSL (GNU Scientific Library). 

- Support for opening multiple spreadsheets, each in a Motif window,
  at the same time.

- device independent graphics through GNU plotutils, replacing the
  older gnuplot interface

- more portable build through autoconf and automake 
- internationalised (i18n) 
- updated documentation 
- ANSI C code (removed K&R stuff) 
- filter mode (read file from stdin, save to stdout) 
- better SYLK support 
- improved printing (PostScript and PCL) 
- database access (MySQL and DBF files) 
- SciPlot graphics (Motif/LessTif only) 
- cleaned up internals 
- runs in character mode as well as in a GUI 
- interface to CUPS to browse available printers

Bug#311478: oleo: Update package Description text to tell that this is not GUI version

[Jari Aalto]

Package: oleo
Version: 1.99.16-7
Severity: normal

As mentioned in the 

  http://www.gnu.org/software/oleo/oleo.html

Oleo required Xbae Lesstif toolkit to be graphical:

  http://www.lesstif.org/Xbae.html

.. as seen in picture

  http://www.gnu.org/software/oleo/oleo1.png

It would be best if oleo were compiled with that toolkit. In the mean
time the package description string should say that the binary
is not compiled with the GUI and is thus text based. Although it
opens under X in separate window, the controls are keyboard based,
and not used mouse based and in proper Xbae GUI version.

Bug#311512: debhelper: [dh_make] Does not understand symlinked source directories

[Jari Aalto]

Package: debhelper
Version: 4.2.36
Severity: normal

Example:

  $ tar zxvf IRcatLite-r2308.tar.gz
  ...
  RcatLite/sample/gtkrc
  IRcatLite/config.h
  ...
  $  ln -s IRcatLite IRcatLite-2308
  $ cd IRcatLite-2308
  $ dh_make ...

  The directory name must be - for dh_make to work!
  I cannot understand the directory name or you have an invalid directory name!

  Your current directory is /usr/src/net/IRcatLite, perhaps you could
  try going to directory where the sources are?

It would be good if dh_make did not try to resolve the symlinked
directory, but use the one that user is currently in.

Bug#311545: dpkg: [update-alternatives] Please use stderr when there is nothing to configure

[Jari Aalto]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.27
Severity: normal

If update-alternatives is called from script, the script cannot
know if the program asked fromt he use a question or not. Like 
in this situation:

# update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

There is only 1 program which provides x-www-browser
(/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox). Nothing to configure.

The status code is 0. However if that message were sent to
stderr, then this situation could be noticed:

 update-alternatives --config x-www-browser 2> notes.log

  if [ -s notes.log ]; then
 # ... something that prevented configuration, act upon it.
  fi   

Right now when the message is printed th stdout, it is mixed with
the regular messages (the menu message to select item).

Please change to use stderr for informational messages like these.
