For security reasons, it is frequently recommended that daemons

I have been having continuing difficulties making debconf display
a note for dict-web1913. With DEBCONF=developer in my environment,
when I install the package, debconf returns:
debconf (developer): frontend started
debconf (developer): frontend running, package name is dict-web1913
dict-web1913 is an empty package to assist the transition to
dict-gcide. dictd will silently fail on startup if not all of the
dictionaries listed in /etc/dictd.conf are not present. The default
conffile includes an `include' line that makes it unnecessary for the
user to update it when a di

Should changelog.Debian.gz apply to the source package and all
binary packages created from the source, or should there be a separate
changelog.Debian.gz for each binary package?
I have used one changelog for the dictd source package, covering

For the 1386 architecture, sid has gcc 2:2.95.4-17 and gcc-3.0

I have built a sid chroot by installing debootstrap and
build-essential. The procps package is installed, but the proc
directory in the chroot is empty. This makes it difficult to install

Can anyone advise how I can make proc file system work in the
chroot?

You must specify the gcc option `-D_REENTRANT' when building a library
(either static or shared) to make the library compatible with
LinuxThreads.
Is this obsolete? I can't find `-D_REENTRANT' in the gcc
documentation.
