  Bug#458163: fvwm: MinOverlapPlacement improperly places windows when Xinerama enabled         


Author: Max Kirillov
Date: Dec 28, 2007 23:40

Package: fvwm
Version: 1:2.5.23-2
Severity: normal

When I sequentially open xterm windows, they are placed
on a current screen
like this:
+---+
|1.2|
|3.4|
|5.6|
|...|
+---+
dots here are empty spaces not sufficient to place the window.

After all space is used, the next window is placed exactly
over the first one in the top-left corner.

I could even see a clear violation - resise the window #4 so
that there is a space sufficient for a whole window in the
center. Then the new window will be placed over window #4
instead of the center.

Package: compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
Version: 0.6.0-3
Severity: important

Some plugins are missing (e.g. group)
This is similar to bug#456380
Again autoconf is hiding the issue.

  Bug#458158: quilt: extra noise when cross-directory symlinks aren't supported         


Author: Russ Allbery
Date: Dec 28, 2007 21:30

Package: quilt
Version: 0.46-4
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Even when the problematic quilt pop -R option is avoided, quilt generates
noise when cross-directory hardlinks aren't supported. This problem isn't
present upstream in the C version of backup_files, but its behavior wasn't
entirely copied in the shell replacement.

This patch discards error output from ln when falling back to cp. Since
the fallback to cp is there, any error that would affect both will be
also displayed by cp, so this patch shouldn't discard meaningful errors.

  Bug#431229: #431229: quilt doesn't work in AFS (no cross-directory hardlinks)         


Author: Russ Allbery
Date: Dec 28, 2007 21:20

Package: quilt
Version: 0.46-4
Tags: patch
Followup-For: Bug #431229

Here is a patch to support file systems that don't allow cross-directory
hardlinks by avoiding cp -rl. There is, unfortunately, a performance
cost for all users due to an extra copy, but only on pop -a -R or during
a pop where several patches affected the same file. (Basically, whenever
the full patch verification is triggered.)

Trying cp -rl first and then falling back on cp -r unfortunately doesn't
work well for supporting AFS. First, the failing cp -rl will still create
the directory structure, so one has to use cp -rT (and assume GNU
coreutils) to then get the right copy. And even if that works, the
failing cp -rl will be very slow in AFS since it tries to hardlink every
file and then triggers AFS's backoff on operations that create tons of
errors in the same directory.

  Bug#458157: bzr: acute accent marks in man page         


Author: Russ Allbery
Date: Dec 28, 2007 21:00

Package: bzr
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: minor

The man page generated by the generate_docs.py tool tries to escape
apostrophes with \. This doesn't work correctly with a current groff.
\' is converted to an acute accent mark rather than an apostrophe.

With groff, what you want is \(aq. Unfortunately, that's groff-specific
and won't work with, for example, Solaris man.

Pod::Man adds:

.ie \n(.g .ds Aq \(aq
.el .ds Aq '

to the preamble of the man page and then uses \*(Aq as the escape for
apostrophes in the man page.

  Bug#458156: libdbus-1-3: Option `--close-stderr' is unknown until dbus 1.1.0         


Author: Brian Sammon
Date: Dec 28, 2007 21:00

Package: libdbus-1-3
Version: 1.1.1-3
Severity: normal

When I upgrade libdbus-1-3 from the etch version to the lenny version, I
start getting the following message when I start bluetooth-applet from the
command-line:
libnotify-Message: Unable to get session bus: dbus-launch failed to
autolaunch D-Bus session: Option `--close-stderr' is unknown.
I'm not clear on how much of a problem this is for the effective operation
of bluetooth-applet, or whether it affects other programs.

It occurs when I have the following set of programs installed:
ii bluez-gnome 0.6-1 Bluetooth utilities for GNOME
ii dbus 1.0.2-1 simple interprocess messaging system
ii libdbus-1-3 1.1.1-3 simple interprocess messaging system
but not when I have the following:
ii bluez-gnome 0.6-1 Bluetooth utilities for GNOME
ii dbus 1.0.2-1 simple interprocess messaging system
ii libdbus-1-3 1.0.2-1 simple interprocess messaging system

  Bug#444950: Desktop icon still missing in GNOME menu         


Author: EspeonEefi
Date: Dec 28, 2007 20:40

Package: gnucash
Version: 2.2.2-1
Followup-For: Bug #444950

The desktop icon is still missing in the GNOME menu, even in 2.2.2-1.
Looking in /usr/share/applications/gnucash.desktop shows that the Icon
entry still has just gnucash-icon instead of gnucash-icon-16x16. Perhaps
the build scripts are using a .desktop file generated from the main
GnuCash sources instead of using the one in debian/ ?

  Bug#458155: Description field uses `wrong' bullet style         


Author: Trent W. Buck
Date: Dec 28, 2007 20:40

Package: nulog
Version: 2.0~rc1-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

In aptitude, the description field is not rendered correctly, because
`o' is used as a bullet symbol. Aptitude seems to expect only `*'
bullets. Suggest changing all bullet points to asterisks.

Description: Graphical firewall log analysis interface
NuLog is a web interface to netfilter logs, when stored in a database using ulog.

The features currently include: o Index page with a summary of firewall activity:
* Packet dropped per host
* Packets dropped per UDP port
* Packets dropped per TCP port
* Packets dropped per user (NuFW only)
o Fully browsable tables o Search engine o Graphing capabilities (display clickable array,
histogram or pie) o SOAP request system for integration with other systems o IPv6 support. o
Customizable pages (index page, etc) o AJAX features. o Special pages for user, ip and ports. o
CSV export.
