cody-somervillesistpoty, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/269459/00:09
sistpoty*downloading source*00:10
cody-somervillesistpoty, the patch I applied is http://www.mail-archive.com/lftp-devel%40uniyar.ac.ru/msg01706.html00:12
sistpotycody-somerville: interesting... I've fiddled a little bit to find out what went wrong, here's the resulting (non-cleaned) patch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/269465/00:27
sistpotycody-somerville: the guilty part seems to be nesting [] in other []00:27
sistpotycody-somerville: I must admit that I'm not 100% sure what the nested brackets do, or if these are allowed in the first place00:28
cody-somervilleinteresting00:28
sistpotycody-somerville: the rest of the changes can be ignored (it just made vim happy to not have a ' in the strings)00:29
sistpoty(and of course the spelling errors must be ignored *g*)(00:29
cody-somervillethe nested brackets just show up in the help output00:30
cody-somervilleso changing them to parenthesis should be safe00:30
cody-somervillethanks! :)00:30
sistpotyyou're welcome ;)00:30
cody-somervilleso would I want to run autoreconf at build time or use that to generate the patch? The former, right?00:31
sistpotycody-somerville: personally, I prefer to run autotools at build time00:33
sistpotycody-somerville: iirc there are arguments against doing it, but the only valid one I've heard is that many people claimed a ftbfs to be a fault of changed autotools (due to maintainers not knowing what went wrong)00:34
sistpoty(and hence blaiming autotools for it)00:34
RainCTkirkland: Hey. Seems like if you create a user, run screen and later delete the user, an entry for it in /var/run/screen remains. If you then try to install or update byobu it will fail on postinst because it creates a .reload-required file for the user but can't do the chown.00:50
RainCTkirkland: (also, why does it warn about the update on install?)00:50
sistpotyRainCT: sounds like "delete user but not all files the user owns" problem? I assume slangasek has a stance on this one ;)00:54
slangasekwell, admins should be allowed to do that if they wish00:55
RainCTYeah, I don't want to delete it's files, only the user :)00:55
RainCT*its00:56
sistpotyRainCT: oh, so it's not the problem that a postint deletes a user... sorry for getting that wrong00:58
sistpotyerm, postrm00:58
RainCTsistpoty: no, it's the postinst doing this http://paste.ubuntu.com/269478/ where the user has been deleted (so chown $u fails)01:01
sistpotyRainCT: ah, but that doesn't stem form postrm deleting a user01:03
sistpotyRainCT: imo that's a mere bug of assuming that a user exists01:04
RainCTsistpoty: yeah, I've never mentioned postrm deleting any user01:04
sistpoty(just because there's a directory called like the username)01:04
sistpotyRainCT: sorry, I didn't read good enough ;)01:04

diwicSo I saw that fluidsynth-dssi FTBFS, and the fix was simple; to depend on liblash-dev instead of ladcca-dev09:07
diwicThat was probably my fault from the beginning, since when I updated fluidsynth to 1.0.9 I changed it to depend on liblash instead of ladcca09:09
diwicBut I fail to see why fluidsynth-dssi should need liblash.la at all09:10

tilgoviNewbie packaging question: if a `make install` creates directories that do not match the preferred layout of ubuntu packages (of this type), should I modify the Makefile or is there a file in the ./debian directory that can remap these locations?10:15
