Bug#376204: file command mis-identifies MS Publisher file as MS Word doc

Package: file
Version: 4.17-2
Severity: minor

It is as the subject says. Not a surprising mistake; according to
filext.com, Publisher files begin with hex "D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00", while Word files begin
with "D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1".

I should mention that I can't guarantee that what I have is actually a
publisher file. There appears to be no linux program capable of reading
Publisher files, and I don't have a binary/hex viewer to check the magic
myself. But OpenOffice will not open it, so I have no reason to believe
otherwise. If you want further info, or a copy of the .pub file, I'll be
happy to help.

Hi there,

Just to remind the world that Eclipse 3.2 is out with the full Callisto release ! This is a huge improvement
comparing to the 3.1 platform, 
especially the fact that Callisto synchronized the release of 10 Eclipse related projects, so the
install/upgrade are going to be finally painless ! 

No hassle Michael, you are doing a fantastic job and thanks to you we have a working 3.1 Eclipse in Debian. I am

Bug#376222: dovecot-common: dovecot dies immediately

Package: dovecot-common
Version: 1.0.rc1-1
Severity: grave
File: /usr/sbin/dovecot

I upgraded from 1.0beta9-1 to 1.0rc1-1, and was immediately unable to contact
the IMAP server.  I tried starting it by hand, both by executing
"/etc/init.d/dovecot start" as well as by running start-stop-daemon by hand,
with no luck. I checked if /usr/sbin/dovecot was running, and it was not.  I
synced up my dovecot.conf with the one from the package as much as possible
without changing what I needed, and that didn't help (it took a while, too,
since that file appears to have undergone a gratuitous reshuffling of the
contents).  I also attempted to change the config file to turn on various bits
of logging, but that did not help, it did not get that far.  I found that no
matter what, /usr/sbin/dovecot just does not run at all.  Downgrading back to
1.0beta9-1 resolved the problem.

Let me know if there is anything else you'd like me to try.

Thanks.

But when you upgrade locales and locales-all, locale-gen will be
run twice; this is precisely what I wanted to avoid, locales should
be generated by a single package.
