Bug#567746: dh_xulrunner missed dependency in xiphos

reassign 567746 xulrunner-dev 1.9.1.6-1
retitle 567746 "dh_xulrunner missed dependency in xiphos"
thanks

 <at> David Thompson I believe it's a bug in dh_xulrunner cause it was
suppose to generate dependencies. aptitude did everything right.

Here we go. dh_xulrunner did not detect xulrunner dependency in xiphos
as you can see from all the current xiphos build-logs / binaries in
testing/unstable.

Rebuilding locally also shows that xulrunner dependency is not added
to the substitute vars.

I couldn't quite understand how dh_xulrunner works, but I can
successfully grep xiphos binary for all the terms dh_xulrunner is
looking for. So I'm puzzled as to why it didn't add the dependency.

Is something wrong with the way i use dh_xulrunner? Or did I hit a
corner-case of dh_xulrunner?

Shall I make another upload of xiphos and explicitly add
"xulrunner-1.9.1" to depends? (I thought we were suppose to avoid that
with dh_xulrunner)

With best regards,

Dmitrijs Ledkovs.

Bug#562031: unbound: Add support resolvconf for

I don't think this proposal is a good idea at all. First, unbound
may not be running on 127.0.0.1/::1, and second, what you propose is
a trivial change that the admin can make in /etc/network/interfaces.
I don't think the package should do that, since it's
a policy decision.

I suggest instead to add a note to the README that unbound can be
top-inserted as a resolver by adding

  iface lo inet loopback
    …
    dns-nameservers ::1

to the lo stanza in /etc/network/interfaces and bringing down/up lo.
Alternatively, after adding it, you can

  echo nameserver ::1 > /etc/resolvconf/run/interface/lo.inet
  resolvconf -u

to avoid having to bring the iface down.

Bug#567618: Unable to boot after upgrade.

I was also unable to boot and used a similar method to Geoff to fix the
problem, i.e. upon booting I received

GRUB loading.
Welcome to GRUB!

error: the symbol 'grub_env_find' not found.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>

however then was able to fix the problem by chrooting into my system
from a live cd and then apt-get remove ing the grub-pc package, then
installing it again, rather than using the squeeze package.

Bug#567890: fluxbox: Setting keymap in startup script does not work

Package: fluxbox
Version: 1.1.1-6
Severity: normal

I have the line 'xmodmap /home/michael/.xmodmaprc' in the appropriate part of 
my ~/.fluxbox/startup but when I start fluxbox, my keymap is not altered as per
 that file.

When I run 'xmodmap /home/michael/.xmodmaprc' after fluxbox has already started
 up, my keymap changes appropriately.

This behaviour has only started recently, either with a fluxbox update or a 
xorg update.

Bug#372207: Agree that the FHS violation is serious

I also keep a read-only root (including /etc) partition, to minimize the 
chances of accidental file corruption.  I also want to use LVM snapshots 
for my backups, to ensure that they are internally consistent.  Both of 
these seem like reasonable and sensible things.

However, in order to create the snapshots I'm going to use in my 
backup,  I need to re-mount my root partition as writable.  It doesn't 
seem reasonable to me that I need to write to my root partition merely 
to back it up.

I'm not an expert on LVM, but shouldn't tools like pvscan, vgscan, 
vgdisplay, lvscan, lvdisplay, etc. be enough to regain access to your 
/var directory if it is lost?  The metadata is also stored directly in 
the disk structures, is it not?   It will probably be slow, but if I'm 
recovering from a disaster, I don't mind waiting for a while.

Bug#567892: randomsound: should be able to specify command line (parameters to pass) to arecord

Package: randomsound
Version: 0.2-5
Severity: normal

The hardcoded options that randomsound passes to arecord are a complete failure on my server (default
sound device doesn't support recording in mono).  It should be possible to pass the complete command line
to exec arecord with to randomsound.

What about adding a -r or -R param that specifies the complete command line to exec to get random data?

eg:
randomsound -r 'arecord -c 2 -f S16_LE -r 48000 -t raw -D hw:2'
