Bug#4475: Pine dies unexpectedly

Package: pine Version: 3.94-2 Pine, ever since I upgraded to this version, has crashed on me frequently. It seems to happen if I fail to hit a key for a while, as if it's some sort of timeout, but that's not the only time it does it. No coredump, and no message saying "Pine terminating" or anythi

Bug#4471: isp-ppp doesn't conflict with ppp

Package: isp-ppp Version: 2.2.0f-1 IMO this should have a `Conflicts: ppp' line in its control file so that ppp is removed by dpkg. As it is right now some files of ppp remain and a re-installation of ppp will overwrite some files of isp-ppp. And I take it ppp doesn't have a `Replaces: isp-ppp' li

Bug#4469: tcsh doesn't include /bin/tcsh

Package: tcsh Version: 6.06-3 tcsh should include a symlink of /bin/tcsh -> ../usr/bin/tcsh. I think the FSSTND specifies that all shells should have symlinks present in /bin. -- Shields, CrossLink.
