| [00:11] <mathiaz> slangasek: so IIUC, if a new openssl package with tls extension enabled is uploaded, we can either hope that packages that depends on it won't break or rebuilt all the package that depends on libssl0.9.8 ? | |
| [00:13] <cjwatson> OpenSSL is a package very commonly used by third-party packages, and we can't make them rebuild | |
| [00:14] <mathiaz> cjwatson: ok. So what would be the options ? two source packages ? | |
| [00:15] <cjwatson> mathiaz: try not to break the ABI :-) | |
| [00:15] <cjwatson> very, very hard | |
| [00:15] <cjwatson> er, I mean "try very, very hard" | |
| [00:16] <slangasek> cjwatson: well, then the package would need to be renamed when enabling tls extensions | |
| [00:16] <slangasek> because it changes the size of several non-opaque structs | |
| [00:16] <slangasek> and if something links against openssl which is both a) third-party and b) dumb, this may result in segfaults | |
| [00:17] <cjwatson> fun | |
| [00:18] <cjwatson> could provide a separate binary package with the extension, perhaps? | |
| [00:18] <cjwatson> which definitely ought to involve coordination | |
| [00:19] * slangasek nods | |
| [00:20] <mathiaz> which parties would be involved in the coordination effort ? | |
| [00:20] <slangasek> Debian maintainer + you :) | |
| [01:15] <el_cubano> When I run 'apt-file update' on Dapper, I get "ERROR 501: Not Implemented." Is this a known problem? | |
| [01:20] <el_cubano> Also, does anyone know why packages.ubuntu.com is not responding? | |
| [01:27] <pochu> el_cubano: for the latter, http://blog.djpig.de/2008/02/01#packages-updates | |
| [01:29] <el_cubano> pochu: Perhaps that information should be posted somewhere prominent on the main page? | |
| [01:30] <pochu> Maybe | |
| [01:31] <el_cubano> Uggh...You have searched for the contents of lyx in dapper, architecture i386. | |
| [01:31] <el_cubano> Can't find that package, at least not in that distribution and on that architecture. | |
| [01:32] <el_cubano> Perhaps someone can answer my question. I am trying to figure out a package build failure on Dapper. Which package contains the /usr/bin/lyx binary? | |
| [01:32] <StevenK> lyx | |
| [01:32] <el_cubano> Not on Dapper it doesn't | |
| [01:35] <pochu> !info lyx dapper | |
| [01:35] <ubotu> lyx (source: lyx): High Level Word Processor. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.7-0ubuntu4 (dapper), package size 17 kB, installed size 48 kB | |
| [01:36] <pochu> So it exists. | |
| [01:36] <el_cubano> pochu: After 'aptitude install lyx' | |
| [01:36] <el_cubano> the command 'which /usr/bin/lyx' produces no output. | |
| [01:36] <el_cubano> The file is *not* present. | |
| [01:37] <pochu> el_cubano: what's the output of "dpkg -l lyx" ? | |
| [01:37] <el_cubano> ii lyx 1.3.7-0ubuntu4 High Level Word Processor | |
| [01:38] <el_cubano> dpkg -S /usr/bin/lyx | |
| [01:38] <el_cubano> dpkg: /usr/bin/lyx not found. | |
| [01:38] <pochu> No idea then, sorry. | |
| [01:38] <el_cubano> This is most puzzling. | |
| [01:39] <el_cubano> Of course, since apt-file is broken and the packages.ubuntu.com search (even on djpig's alternate host) is also broken, I have no way of finding out which package has that binary :-( | |
| [01:39] <StevenK> I think because lyx is an alternative? | |
| [01:39] <StevenK> Hrm | |
| [01:39] <el_cubano> In that case, though, shouldn't installing it setup the alternative? | |
| [01:41] <StevenK> On dapper, lyx-qt or lyx-xforms provides the lyx-{qt,xforms} binaries | |
| [01:41] <StevenK> And then lyx is an alternative that points to either one, I guess | |
| [01:41] <el_cubano> So, then there is no such thing as /usr/bin/lyx on Dapper? | |
| [01:42] <el_cubano> The dependency resolution for 'aptitude install lyx' pulled in lyx-qt. | |
| [01:43] <mjg59> Does lyx-qt contain an alternative for lyx? | |
| [01:44] <el_cubano> mjg59: Nope. | |

| [12:08] <abarbaccia> hey all - im wondering how to appropriately file a bug in the ubuntu kernel - both gutsy and hardy have a problem finding all 4gb of ram on a desktop | |
| [12:09] <abarbaccia> HIMEM4G only lets you access 2GB of the ram but if you use the server kernel or roll your own using HIMEM64G then you get the full 4. It shouldn't be working like this... | |
| [12:09] <abarbaccia> So my better question is how do i label the bug so it gets identified correctly in launchpad | |
| [12:11] <persia> abarbaccia: I'd recommend reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies and asking this type of question in #ubuntu-bugs. | |
| [12:12] <sistpoty|work> abarbaccia: iirc himem4g will indeed limit userspace to 2g (memory split), that should be normal (but I may be wrong... haven't digged into this for quite some time) | |
| [12:12] <abarbaccia> sistpoty|work: yes, userspace and kernel space should each be 2GB - but when you cat /proc/meminfo you should see all 4gb | |

| [15:44] <dholbach> Chipzz: that'd be great | |
| [15:46] <davmor2> cjwatson: ah right okay np I'll just go for a standard install then and see if some of the gvfs/gio bugs have been worked out :) ta for the help | |
| [15:46] <Chipzz> dholbach: though, really, it's a one-line fix and the change is obviously correct; I don't see the point in making a debdiff ;) | |
| [15:47] <dholbach> Chipzz: it will speed up getting it included | |
| [15:54] <davmor2> cjwatson: just tried it to save reinstall and it worked just installing oem-config-gtk | |
| [15:58] <cjwatson> davmor2: mm, ubiquity does do more than that though | |
| [15:58] <cjwatson> I think it's great if it works, but it's not really a valid test :) | |
| [15:58] <cjwatson> ubiquity sets up autologin for the oem user for example | |

| [16:00] <davmor2> cjwatson: yes the autologgin worked. It was just the means to save the changes and setup the new user I was missing. | |

| [17:55] <cjwatson> it depends slightly on the country, as in some countries you're not allowed to relinquish your copyright | |

| [18:04] <warp10> slangasek: indeed. I always check deps when I request syncs, but I missed that sauerbrauten is in multiverse :( | |
| [18:06] <slangasek> warp10: well, it would be exceptional that a package in Debian contrib should be synced to universe instead of multiverse, without there being a categorization bug on one side or the other :) | |
| [18:08] <warp10> slangasek: I am currently looking at glam2, in contrib, that is licensed as public domain and doesn't either depends or build-depends on software in multiverse or restricted. Shouldn't it go on universe? | |

| [20:17] <zul> soren: ergh | |
| [20:17] <soren> zul: Which version of mysql-doc-5.0 is installed right now? | |
| [20:18] <zul> 5.0-0ubuntu1 | |
| [20:19] <soren> If a package has "Replaces: mysql-doc-5.0 (<< 5.0.56-0ubuntu1)", how does it make sense that it says "trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/mysql_config.1.gz', which is also in package mysql-doc-5.0", when trying to install it and mysql-doc-5.0 is at 5.0-0ubuntu1? | |
| [20:20] <soren> Shouldn't the "Replaces:" tell dpkg that it's fine for the package to overwrite it? | |
| [20:21] <mathiaz> Hum.. I've also updated the package version mysql-doc | |
| [20:21] <mathiaz> It was mysql-doc-5.0-0ubuntu1 - now mysql-5.0-5.0.56-0ubuntu1 | |
| [20:22] <soren> Er.. | |
| [20:22] <soren> How much of that is package name, and how much is version? | |
| [20:22] <Mithrandir> Riddell: done | |
| [20:22] <soren> slangasek: You're clever... Can you provide enlightenment here? | |
| [20:23] <mathiaz> soren: old version: 5.0-0ubuntu1 - new version: 5.0.56-0ubuntu1 | |
| [20:23] <mathiaz> soren: see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-doc-5.0/ | |
| [20:23] <soren> mathiaz: Ok. | |
| [20:23] <soren> mathiaz: I fail to see the point. | |
| [20:24] <luisbg> http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/hprajani/phun/disk.jpg | |
| [20:24] <mathiaz> soren: I don't have any point. It was just another comment regarding things that have changed. | |
| [20:24] <soren> mathiaz: Oh, ok. | |
| [20:25] <zul> ill try the replace+conflict we were discussing earlier | |
| [20:26] <slangasek> soren: the Replaces should indeed tell that it's ok to overwrite it; from what's said above, I don't see why this should fail | |
| [20:27] <mathiaz> Is there a way to tell which iso has been used to install a machine once the machine has rebooted ? | |
| [20:27] <soren> slangasek: Thanks so much. I thought I was going nuts. :) | |
| [20:27] <soren> mathiaz: Yes. | |
| [20:27] <soren> mathiaz: /var/log/installer/syslog | |
| [20:27] <soren> mathiaz: Or something to that effect. | |
| [20:28] <mathiaz> soren: ok. Thanks | |
| [20:28] <soren> zul: Could you please "dpkg -I mysql-server-5.0-blahblah.deb" and triplecheck that the Replaces field is set properly? | |
| [20:29] <zul> soren: Replaces: mysql-doc-5.0 (<< 5.0.56-0ubuntu1), | |
| [20:30] <soren> slangasek: We had a discussion earlier today about the necessity of adding the corresponding Conflicts: field (when a file moves from one package to another).. I couldn't come up with a good explanation as to why it's added, but looking through the archive, it's *very* common. | |
| [20:32] <slangasek> soren: there are two possible explanations for this. a) widespread misunderstanding of the meaning of the fields, b) if you have a package that Replaces: another but does not Conflicts:, and you install the replacing package and then remove it, the replaced package will still be 'installed' but will have some of its files magically missing | |
| [20:32] <soren> slangasek: Ah, yes, of course! | |
| [20:32] <soren> slangasek: Excellent point. | |
| [20:34] <slangasek> soren: I don't think the latter is likely to be the real explanation for why it's done, though, except perhaps by way of cargo-cult copying, because very few of the people I've discussed this with had recognized this possibility :) | |
| [20:35] <slangasek> (and even once recognizing it, many maintainers seem indifferent to it) | |
| [20:35] <soren> slangasek: Heh :) | |
| [20:53] <smagoun> seb128: Hi, totem-gstreamer doesn't function without libtotem-plparser10. You closed bug 188133 on the issue saying it's already been reported. I couldn't find another bug on the issue though. When do you expect to push a fix to Hardy? | |

| [21:01] <seb128> smagoun: I'll have a look to it but it's low issue on my list since other things depends on the lib anyway in the standard installation | |
| [21:02] <seb128> slangasek: is there any hurry? I'll forward it upstream soon and it'll likley be fixed with next tarball, but feel free to do an upload if you want to get it fixed now | |
| [21:03] <slangasek> seb128: no particular hurry, it's just that seahorse is the last package in main depending on libldap2 and I'd feel really good about demoting or nuking that package after all these years :-) | |
| [21:05] <seb128> slangasek: well, it didn't fail to build so it should make no difference there | |
| [21:05] <seb128> no? | |
| [21:05] <slangasek> seb128: sorry, what do you mean? seahorse hasn't been rebuilt at all against libldap-2.4-2 yet, because doing so without this source fix would cause a misbuild on amd64 | |
| [21:05] <smagoun> seb128: Thanks for the info. I'm working on Ubuntu Mobile (which doesn't have the same set of packages as desktop), so I'd like to get a fix for Hardy. I can push a patch to LP, does that work for you? | |
| [21:06] <seb128> slangasek: ah ok, reading the bug I though it had but the result was buggy | |
| [21:06] <slangasek> nah, I reported it based on the detected misbuild on ia64/debian | |
| [21:07] <seb128> smagoun: I'll likely look at it soon, I think the bug comes from debian but you are welcome to fix the issue | |
| [21:21] <Biff> hi, dont know if this is the correct place to ask, but i have been quite annoyed at the command-not-found handler thingy which is implemented in python and is very slow (200-1000ms) to find a package, so i reimplemented it in c, and it is quite fast, is this interesting to get into ubuntu instead of the python version? | |
| [21:26] <Biff> it uses the same databases and stuff as the old one, its just the bash hook that is in c | |
| [21:27] <_MMA_> Biff: I would actually email the -devel and or the -devel-discuss mailing lists. | |
| [21:27] <_MMA_> https://lists.ubuntu.com | |
| [21:27] <Biff> and or? :-) | |
| [21:29] <_MMA_> Your question looks appropriate for both. -devel-discuss will go throught faster as its unmoderated. | |
| [21:29] <seb128> grrr at the linux network stack | |
| [21:30] <seb128> slangasek: I've opened the seahorse bug on bugzilla now | |
| [21:30] <Biff> ok, thanks | |
| [21:31] <TheMuso> Good morning. | |
| [21:34] <Biff> evening here | |
| [21:35] <seb128> who was speaking about the totem depends issue? | |
| [21:36] <Chipzz> slangasek: with my complete lack of official understanding of that rule, my guess would be the conflicts in most cases is a *versioned* conflict to force the upgrade to a version of the package that doesn't have the conflicting file anymore | |
| [21:36] <seb128> Chipzz: you want to use Breaks in such cases | |
| [21:36] <seb128> didn't read the question though | |
| [21:37] <Chipzz> seb128: 21:30 < soren> slangasek: We had a discussion earlier today about the necessity of adding the corresponding Conflicts: field (when a file moves from one package to another).. I couldn't come up with a good explanation as to why it's added, but looking through the archive, it's *very* common. | |
| [21:37] <seb128> Chipzz: or are you speaking about same contents in different binaries? in which case you want to use replaces | |
| [21:37] <seb128> ah | |
| [21:37] <Chipzz> seb128: conflict/replaces pair is common | |
| [21:38] <seb128> yeah, it's controversial whether it's right or not | |
| [21:38] <Chipzz> and the question was about what purpose the conflicts part served | |
| [21:38] <seb128> it allow to downgrade without issue | |
| [21:38] <seb128> which is not really a supported case so is not required | |
| [21:38] <_MMA_> seb128: I think it was smagoun re: Totem issue. | |
| [21:39] <Chipzz> seb128: but nice to have since you can downgrade manually I guess | |
| [21:40] <ScottK2> Chipzz: I think the key issue is if you want to force the old package uninstalled or not. For the common case of renamed binary package you do. | |
| [21:40] <seb128> Chipzz: not really nice to have, it makes upgrades harder to calculate | |
| [21:40] <seb128> ScottK2: in such cases you sue conflicts,replaces,provides which is correctly supported | |
| [21:40] <Chipzz> seb128: so what would you do while testing a package you're changing? force stuff with dpkg --force-... ? | |
| [21:40] <smagoun> seb128: totem depends was me | |
| [21:41] <seb128> smagoun: ok, I've figured the issue, will upload tomorrow | |
| [21:41] <seb128> Chipzz: what do you mean? replaces is enough to install the new version | |
| [21:42] <smagoun> seb128: thanks, I appreciate it. was it just a missing libtotem-plparser10 dependency in the control file? (I tested such a patch locally and it worked for me) | |
| [21:42] <slangasek> Chipzz: yes, they are generally versioned conflicts; but in that case, the question is why use replaces at all instead of just the conflicts :) | |
| [21:42] <Chipzz> seb128: say you, as a package maintainer, are testing a new version of a package in which a file has migrated from one package to another; you can upgrade to test it, but if you want to subsequently downgrade to test a new version, what do you do? | |
| [21:43] <seb128> I do apt-get install --reinstall binary=version where version is the version I want to reinstall | |
| [21:43] <seb128> the issue is rather if you try to reinstall the package which has been replaced | |
| [21:45] <seb128> another issue is that when you downgrade the package you install the files which were replaced will not be copied there again, so you need to reinstall the other package too | |
| [21:45] <seb128> technically the conflicts are not required but they avoid those corner cases | |
| [21:46] <seb128> smagoun: no, that's a dh_shlibdeps call in the rules which is lacking | |
| [21:53] <seb128_> re | |
| [21:53] <seb128_> smagoun: no, that's a dh_shlibdeps call in the rules which is lacking | |
| [21:53] <seb128_> not sure if you received it before the disconnect | |
