Bug#311597: Busy at work packaging anyterm
Phil, I am busy working on packaging anyterm. I was wondering if you could look at the desicussion we had on #debian-devel tonight. Essentially, we need to figure out a better way to make the login process happen. Also, why does anygetty need to write to utmp instead of letting login do that? Please let me know what you think, as I would really like to get this packaged up and in the official archive. -Roberto -- Roberto C.

Bug#368515: Removal of libgtk1.2 python bindings (meta-bug)

This is quite reasonable. > The icepref and iceme packages are long obsolete and dead upstream. They are also orphaned. I expressed and intent to adopt a while back to replace them with icewmcp (which I was intending to package), since I was going to use them in a deployment at my church. However, I ended up not using IceWM. If no one steps forward to take care of this (package icewmcp is a replacement for icepref and iceme), I can probably do it in the next couple of months. -Roberto -- Roberto C.

Did it actually remove anything? The maintainer probably listed var/www in the dirs for the package, which means, that on install, if the directory is missing for some odd reason, it will be created. On removal or purge (or both, I forget), it will try and remove the directory. However, if there is anything in the directory, it will not be removed. That is warning you are seeing. Please verify that it *actually* removed stuff from /var/www, which I suspect it did not. If it did not, please close the bug report. If it did, then good catch. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.

It should not have removed the /var/www symlink and recreated the directory empty. This is in fact a serious bug. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
