This may sound silly, but in fact, glibc does not support shadow groups[1]
(I'm not sure if we ever had this support), yet the shadow programs attempt
to use it. For example we convert the group file to shadow, even though glibc
does not contain the calls to get this info. If you look at the shadow

Strange, I've never had a hard time with a dist-upgrade when I am remote. Of
course, it's best to open a new telnet window once the upgrade is complete, and
to not do a final reboot until you are on site, since if it doesn't boot, you
are stuck. But that behavior of losing connection is generally

I just looked at NcFTP 3.0Beta20 and it appears to have changed its license to
free (no license file) and the libncftp requirement of non-use by other

Thanks

looks nice, thanks for doing this; one immediate question:
nsgmls is not (any longer?) in potato. Should it be?
Thanks.
This is the wrong place to send this, but I could find no better place on the
Debian contact page.
When I was updating my package list (apt-get update), I got an error on the

Every Unix lets you DIY, of course. The problem is the *'/(&%

I presume this is a boot-floppies issue, and will indeed be rectified
nearer release time -- for the time being, it would seem prudent not
to sacrifice any compatibility f
