Hi folks,
What happens if a package maintainer ignores upstream's
version number (either on purpose, or by accident, e.g.
a typo)? Is this allowed?

Hi folks,
I've got a problem with marking broken packages as fixed.
If there is (lets say) a grave functionality bug for package
"M" in unstable or testing, then a bugfix in experimental
doesn't help me. (I made very bad experiences with experimental,
e.g. broken version numbers, currupted apt sy

Maybe this has been suggested before, but...
Probably more C++ abi changes will follow. To support a
smooth migration I would like to suggest to create empty
packages describing the C++ abis.

A lot of packages need at least the /usr/sbin/sendmail program, to be

I think it is pretty ugly that the installation from scratch of Sid

Recently I was reported [1] by Marco d'Itri that FVWM from stable

Hello.
I wanted to install g++ 3.2 (instead of 3.1 that is buggy) on our server
running woody with several packages from unstable.
I noticed that g++ 3.2 depends on recent libc6. Is it safe to install libc6
from unstable now? Are libdb problems resolved?
May you should consider VMware's current beta of 3.1?
Good luck

Hi folks,
What is the recommended way to install Gnome or KDE? The task-XXX
packages are gone for some time now, without appropriate replacement,
as it seems.

Hi folks,
To reduce network load and speed up upgrades I have installed a
caching proxy on one of my machines (using Apache). But it
doesn't work very well. Packages are downloaded from http.us.debian.org,
even if they should have been taken from the cache due to an
upgrade of another machine
