Release critical bugs take #2.



Hi again, 

I am back working ;) Not much time left today, but even a small step is a
step.

> Package: libcdparanoia0-dev (main).
> Maintainer: Dale E. Martin <dmartin@debian.org>
>   42281 libcdparanoia0-dev: file conflict
[EASY] Adding two lines to debian/control.

> Package: libg++272-dev (main).
> Maintainer: joost witteveen <joostje@debian.org>
>   42443 libg++272-dev conflicts with libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1-dev
[HELP] What can we do to allow two lib*++ packages to be installed?
>   42444 libg++272-dev conflicts with gcc
[HELP] I have no idea if genclass is needed in gcc, when it was added to 
that package, etc. pp. 

> Package: libgnomeui32 (main).
> Maintainer: Steve Haslam <araqnid@debian.org>
>   42340 libgnomeui depends on a specific gdk-imlib1 version
[EASY] Find out when gdk_imlib_get_cache_info was introduced and add that 
gdk-imlib version to the depends line. Anyway, shouldn't the shlibs file of
gdk-imlib take care of this?

> Package: libjpeg62-dev (main).
> Maintainer: Mark Mickan <mmickan@debian.org>
>   41795 libjpeg62: Wrong JPEG library version: library is 62, caller expects
>   61
> 
> Package: libpam-doc (main).
> Maintainer: Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
>   41608 libpam-doc: The postscripts files do not contain any text
[TODO] Will take a look tomorrow.

> Package: libpam-modules (main).
> Maintainer: Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
>   38631 pam-apps: login doesn't handle expired passwords
[BUG] I reproduced this bug. My ssh uses PAM though - this way the problem 
appears with ssh also. 

> Package: libpanel-applet0 (main).
> Maintainer: Steve Haslam <araqnid@debian.org>
>   39626 libpanel-applet0: patch to correct segfaults in gnomeicu and others...
[BUG] It seems like the orbit-generated stub does not handle null pointers
properly. Perhaps try recompiling with a new orbit?

> Package: libreadlineg2 (main).
> Maintainer: Guy Maor <maor@debian.org>
>   36016 libreadlineg2 should use Pre-Dependencies on shared libraries
> [STRATEGY] Change Depends to Pre-Depends in libreadlineg2 and libreadline2;
> recompile for stable, too
> 
> Package: libstdc++2.10-dev (main).
> Maintainer: Debian GCC maintainers <gcc@packages.debian.org>
>   42622 libstdc++2.10-dev: stl_alloc.h: malloc_alloc out of memory handling
>   abort()s instead of using exceptions
[HARD] Seems to be a nice problem with the way g++ handles exceptions.
Hopefully upstream finds a solution. I would suggest pre-allocating a few
pages to have some memory handy for handling exceptions...
IMHO this shouldn't be release critical.

> Package: libterm-readline-gnu-perl (main).
> Maintainer: Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>
>   41868 Gnu.so is broke; no shared library dependencies
[PATCH] A patch is included in the BTS.

> Package: lilypond (main).
> Maintainer: Anthony Fok <foka@debian.org>
>   41343 lilypond: Remove recommendation for python-misc (>= 1.5.1)
[STRATEGY] Maintainer upload expected on August 24.

> Package: linbot (main).
> Maintainer: Jean Pierre LeJacq <jplejacq@quoininc.com>
>   41345 linbot: Remove versioned dependencies on python-net and python-misc
[EASY] Just a little change to the control file.

> Package: linuxlogo (main).
> Maintainer: Steve Kostecke <steve@debian.org>
>   42471 pdmenu won't start
[EASY] The menu entry must be changed to have the command in a single line.

> Package: locales (main).
> Maintainer: Joel Klecker <debian-glibc@lists.debian.org>
>   41144 incomplete or broken locale defns cause general chaos
>   42456 locales: Messages with German Umlaute disappear in Gnome and GTK
[HARD] Not really sure whose fault this is. Might be libgnome, libgtk or
locales...

> Package: login (main).
> Maintainer: Guy Maor <maor@debian.org>
>   38729 login: /etc/limits is world-readable
> [HELP] Determine is program or manpage right
Where is the problem? Why shouldn't the users know about the limits imposed on
them?
>   40398 login: Client host/address not logged when users telnet in.
[BUG] I can reproduce this. Seems to be a small problem in the source.

That's it for now.
