Bug#268158: "syntactically-correct"?

2004-08-26 Thread Paul Hampson
If you mean syntactically correct as in changing: http_proxy=http://DOMAN\user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/ into http_proxy=http://DOMAN/user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/ then wget tries to connect to DOMAIN:80 as a http proxy, with the expected failure that brings. It's definately being eaten by the shell.

Bug#240669: Source of this problem

Bug#271102: Aha! I understand the problem now.

2004-09-16 Thread Paul Hampson
Now that I've found ViewSVN for debian-installer, I've managed to work out exactly where it's dying. In base-installer's postinst, the following stanza is create_devices(). The mdadm support was added in revision 16940 on June 18th, so I expect this in itself was not the problem, by mdadm was. Min
