Bug#377966: apple2: Incorrect title in debconf template

[Thomas Huriaux]

Package: apple2
Severity: minor

Hi,

The short description of a note template should be considered as a
title. I would therefore rephrase
"If you want sound the xapple2 binaries must run suid root."
with
"Suid root needed to have sound"


However, this template looks more like a debconf abuse. Pausing the
installation process to warn about a functionnality that is not the core
of the package is pointless.
This information probably belongs to the README.Debian file.

Cheers,

Bug#403386: cipe-common: debconf abuse

[Thomas Huriaux]

Package: cipe-common
Version: 1.5.4free-11
Severity: normal
User: debian-i18n@lists.debian.org
Usertags: useless-debconf-notes

Hi,

While installing your package, the installation stops with a (critical)
debconf note saying:

  If you are upgrading from an old (<= 1.3.0) version of CIPE...

You should use
  dpkg --compare-versions
to avoid displaying this note if the user is not upgrading from one of
these problematic versions.

Moreover, as far as I can see, there has never been a 1.3 version in
Debian (or this was previous to woody). This note can therefore simply
be removed.

Cheers,
