Here is a simple shell script I run after each apt or dselect run that may be helpful. It basically keeps a text file of what package's are currently installed (dpkg -L), which I find faster to grep through when I'm looking for something anyway (than using dpkg -S). The next time the script is run, it uses diff to find the differences between the current and last runs, and appends it to a 'history' file. So for each date/time apt is run, you can see what packages were added, removed or upgraded (along with their versions/descriptions). #!/bin/sh # Script that writes current list of packages installed # from /var/lib/dpkg/available to pkgs_woody.current. # Keeps a history of changes between package versions # in woody_history.txt. LISTDIR=/home/ljh/debian cd $LISTDIR if [ -f 'woody_history.txt.gz' ]; then gunzip woody_history.txt.gz fi if [ -f 'pkgs_woody.current' ]; then mv pkgs_woody.current pkgs_woody.last COLUMNS=120 dpkg -l | grep "^i" | cut -b 5- > pkgs_woody.current diff -C 0 pkgs_woody.last pkgs_woody.current >> woody_history.txt fi gzip woody_history.txt rm -f pkgs_woody.last # EOF -- Larry Holish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Here is the relevant part of my .muttrc. It will show To: instead of
From: in this mailbox only, which I call outbox instead of sent.
set record=+outbox # default location to save outgoing mail
folder-hook =outbox 'set index_format="%4C %Z %{%m/%d} %-20.20t (%4c) %s"'

Re: Easy creation of input forms & reports for PostgreSql?

Recently, I setup a very simple PostgreSQL database for my music
collection. I didn't find any tools to do this on the web, but it was
easy enough to put something together. I've included the SQL I used to
setup my music db below, which might give you some ideas and/or a
headstart.
I also wrote a quick/dirty python script (based on an example in Ben
Gertzfield's python-cddb Debian package) that will read a music CD,
query the FreeDB website for data, prompt the user for extra info, and
drop it all into my PostgreSQL database. I'm willing to make the script
available if you're interested.

I still suspect this is a problem with your script. In my experience the 500 error is always from invalid HTTP headers. A common problem I have seen is that only one set of headers can be returned for a response, and after the headers have been ended with a blank line, you can't write more. One other troubleshooter I use in python cgi is the function cgi.test(). This prints headers, and displays environment and form variables from your script. The people over at comp.lang.python may be able to help you out more. HTH, Larry -- Larry Holish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
