[04:33] <poningru> cjwatson: ^^^
[04:33] <poningru> need info for the herd 3 release notes
[05:34] <poningru> no one?
[09:09] <cjwatson> poningru: no; but you don't need to write anything about that, I'll fill it in provided you're doing it on the wiki
[09:10] <cjwatson> poningru: (hint: I'm on London time so don't expect answers at 3:30am)
[09:10] <poningru> ooh k copying to wiki now
[09:10] <poningru> ah sorry :)

[09:34] <tepsipakki> I have a number of packages complaining about "Depends: foo but it is not going to be installed" when trying to netboot Herd3
[09:35] <cjwatson> can you put a syslog somewhere?
[09:35] <tepsipakki> and all of those depend on X
[09:35] <tepsipakki> maybe
[09:35] <tepsipakki> does busybox have a "reverse-wget" or something?-)
[09:36] <cjwatson> nc
[09:36] <cjwatson> or you can anna-install openssh-client-udeb and use scp
[09:36] <tepsipakki> ah, of course
[09:37] <tepsipakki> cjwatson: btw, your comments before the cancelled TB meeting two weeks ago did the trick on Tuesday ;)
[09:38] <cjwatson> good to hear it
[09:38] <cjwatson> I was on a train on Tuesday evening
[09:39] <tepsipakki> yeah, so mdz dug the logs and found your comments
[09:40] <tepsipakki> ok I have the syslog now, but I'll read it myself to be sure it's not my fault
[09:41] <CIA-4> ubiquity: cjwatson * r1834 herd-3/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.3.17
[09:46] <CIA-4> ubiquity: cjwatson * r1831 ubiquity/debian/ (changelog rules): merge from herd-3 branch
[09:48] <CIA-4> ubiquity: cjwatson * r1832 ubiquity/ (configure configure.ac): bump to 1.3.18
[09:52] <tepsipakki> cjwatson: ok, I can't see any obvious error in it http://users.tkk.fi/~tjaalton/d-i/syslog
[09:53] <tepsipakki> I can try running apt-install and see where it fails
[09:54] <cjwatson> tepsipakki: looks like you're trying to install both Ubuntu and Kubuntu desktops? maybe they conflict just enough to break tasksel
[09:55] <tepsipakki> yes, been doing that for a while :)
[09:55] <cjwatson> actually it looks like you're trying to install a whole raft of stuff :)
[09:55] <tepsipakki> it's quite a lot yes
[09:56] <cjwatson> you'll have to simulate on a normal system and use apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true or something
[09:56] <cjwatson> which will produce a massive slew of output and be quite hard to read, but ...
[09:56] <tepsipakki> ok, I'll look into that
[10:28] <tepsipakki> found the error.. libgd2-{no,}xpm conflict
[10:33] <tepsipakki> pdl depends on libgd2-xpm, and -noxpm is already installed
[10:35] <tepsipakki> nope, can't be that
[10:42] <tepsipakki> argh, it was our own dear xv
[10:44] <tepsipakki> I wonder why x11-common conflicts with xv which isn't even distributable :)
[10:44] <tepsipakki> anyway, I just need to bump the version
[10:55] <cjwatson> because the older version of xv used obsolete paths which would break current x11-common
[10:56] <cjwatson> xorg (1:7.0.21) unstable; urgency=low
[10:56] <cjwatson>   [ Josh Triplett ] 
[10:56] <cjwatson>   * Add conflicts on the old non-free package xv, no longer in Debian,
[10:56] <cjwatson>     which broke upgrading on at least one system.
[10:56] <tepsipakki> oh, I see
[10:57] <cjwatson>   * Have x11-common conflict with packages installing binaries to
[10:57] <cjwatson>     /usr/X11R6/bin. We need to remove them in order to install a proper
[10:57] <cjwatson>     symlink at this location to /usr/bin. Packages will still be able to
[10:57] <cjwatson>     install to /usr/X11R6/bin, but they need to be removed from the system
[10:57] <cjwatson>     first so that we can set up the symlink and not drop them out of the path.
[10:57] <cjwatson>     Thanks Steve Langasek. (closes: #362524, #362200)
[10:57] <cjwatson> make your xv package install to /usr/bin when you bump the version to make sure there won't be a problem
[10:57] <tepsipakki> yes, it already does
[10:58] <tepsipakki> PREFIX=/usr
[10:58] <tepsipakki> not that we use upgrade, but still
[11:02] <tepsipakki> xli seems to be the only one we have installed on dapper that still installs in /usr/X11R6
[11:03] <tepsipakki> xli (1.17.0-22) unstable; urgency=low
[11:03] <tepsipakki>   * Install to /usr, instead of /usr/X11R6. (closes: #362311)
[11:03] <tepsipakki>  -- Graham Wilson <graham@debian.org>  Sat, 22 Apr 2006 05:14:56 +0000
[11:03] <tepsipakki> that didn't make it in dapper :)
[11:25] <mpt_> Wow, I remember xv
[11:26] <mpt_> Its error alerts had buttons like "Drat" and "Bother" instead of "OK"
[11:28] <tepsipakki> heh
[11:28] <tepsipakki> some people still want to use it
[01:05] <cjwatson> ok, port of gparted's visual partition widget to Python working
[01:06] <cjwatson> now to figure out how to unify its visual disk widget; at the moment it involves massive code duplication
[01:42] <saispo> hi
[01:43] <saispo> cjwatson: i use base-configapt-setup/security-updates boolean false in my preseed file but in the sources.list i have security update and i don't want :/
[01:43] <saispo> other things to do ?
[01:46] <cjwatson> where did you get that instruction?
[01:47] <cjwatson> the correct way to disable security updates is 'd-i apt-setup/security_host string', as documented in the installation guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/preseed-contents.html)
[02:01] <saispo> i get it on ubuntu-fr docs :/
[02:08] <saispo> it's possible to bypass the error in a preseed/late_command ?
[02:09] <saispo> or automaticaly answer Y ?
[02:13] <cjwatson> ubuntu-fr docs are wrong. see the guide
[02:13] <cjwatson> and let the ubuntu-fr people know that they need to update
[02:14] <saispo> ok
[02:17] <saispo> thks cjwatson, all work now, just find how bypass a readline question in my preseed_latecommand foir a metapackage i install...
[02:17] <saispo> an idea ?
