Bug#327784: libc6: ldconfig workaround

2005-10-18 Thread Aaron S. Hawley
As a workaround to this problem, I've found using an older working version of ldconfig with the newest libc6 debian packages will allow make apt to work. 1 ) First, backup the broken ldconfig and make a soft link to it (even though it doesn't deserve a backup). $ cd /sbin $ mv ldconfig ldconfig

Bug#334004: rcsdiff quirk with symbolic names and long options

2005-10-14 Thread Aaron S. Hawley
Package: rcs Version: 5.7-16 Severity: normal Providing the rcsdiff command with a revision number and a symbolic name for the same revision creates different error results depending on whether the option is a long option or is either of the short options "-DNAME" or "-Y". Here is a recreatio

Bug#327784: libc6: ldconfig exits with Illegal Instruction

2005-10-13 Thread Aaron S. Hawley
Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.5-6 Followup-For: Bug #327784 I was in the process of upgrading with aptitude and also ran into this bug with ldconfig. It's a real nuisance. I recall, ldconfig bug was failing for dpkg on the libuuid1 package, which consequently made me lose an upgrade to e2fsprogs,

Bug#305920: a2ps: pdiff: use of standard input "-" (patch)

2005-04-23 Thread Aaron S. Hawley

Bug#305898: wdiff: Reading from device file (like /dev/stdin) loses data

2005-04-22 Thread Aaron S. Hawley
Package: wdiff Version: 0.5-14 Severity: normal When giving a file device on the command-line for wdiff results in missing data in the output. This can be avoided by saving the file to a regular file and providing the file to wdiff rather than a device. Perhaps wdiff is reading the file twice?

Bug#305920: a2ps: pdiff: use of standard input "-" (patch)

2005-04-22 Thread Aaron S. Hawley
Package: a2ps Version: 1:4.13b-4.2 Severity: wishlist Pdiff doesn't accept data on standard input, only because the alternative of using device files causes wdiff to fail (see Bug#305898). A patch below provides support for this feature. *** pdiff.diff --- /usr/bin/pdiff 2004-12-05 13:12:1
