dragonis there a command line way to find the version of package "whois" in karmic?00:31
dragonuh, I'm using jaunty to do this00:31
dragonso apt-cache policy wouldn't work as it is.00:32
dragonI think there's a bug in the program `whois`, but i need to confirm if it has been fixed before fling it00:32
dragonfiling00:32
BUGabundodragon: packages.ubuntu.com?00:32
dragonBUGabundo: i wanted to do it through command line, am sitting far from an X server00:33
dtchendragon: rmadison whois00:33
dtchenyou'll find it in the devscripts package00:33
dtchen(i.e., install devscripts, then use rmadison)00:33
dragondtchen: thanks00:34
dtchennp00:34
dragonok, so whois in jaunty is 4.7.30, and karmic has 4.7.34.00:34
dragonI don't have access to karmic yet. What's the easiest was to check if `whois -H example.biz` shows a "Catastrophic error" near the end of the output?00:36
dragonIf it hasn't been fixed, it deserves a bug report.00:36
* dtchen hugs ~/bin/00:38

kblinmorning05:38
kblinI've just opened a bug that looks very similar to an existing bug. However, mine just happened now, while the other was marked as "fix released" in august. can I reopen the one marked "fixed" when I mark my bug as a dup?05:40
Rocket2DMnkblin, if a bug is marked as fixed, you should open a new report06:19
Rocket2DMnfeel free to mention the old one though06:19
Rocket2DMnand now i'm off to bed, cheers :)06:19
kblinyeah, stack trace is different anyway06:26

xteejxdel_diablo, generally wifi will not work on the alternate installer21:57

shakaranHi, I trying to report a bug for wine package on Ubuntu, but I cant. If you go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine and you click on rigth side link "Report a bug" you get a info page but dont the report page for fill a bug.22:55
shakaranhow to report then?22:56
mrooneyshakaran: have you tried running "ubuntu-bug wine" from a command-line?22:56
mrooneythat is the preferred method I do believe22:56
shakaranyes, I get "The problem cannot be reported:This is not a genuine Ubuntu package"22:57
maxbshakaran: Whilst I despise that there's no way to opt out once you've read it, the info page _does_ tell you what to do22:57
shakaranI read the page...but I can't report. Listen to me, please22:59
shakaranI try to report on lauchpad this bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2028823:00
shakaranHe said that I need to go to report for my distro. But I can't for my distro Ubuntu23:00
ubot4bugs.winehq.org bug 20288 in -unknown "Parser error : PCDATA invalid Char value 17" [Normal,Closed: invalid]23:00
mrooneyshakaran: are you using wine from a PPA, perhaps?23:04
shakaranyes23:04
shakaran$ wine --version23:04
shakaranwine-1.1.2923:04
mrooneyah well the problem is that you aren't using the version Ubuntu ships so it isn't a problem in that package23:05
mrooneyand upstream thinks it isn't their fault23:05
mrooneyyou might see if you can reproduce it with the stock version in Ubuntu?23:05
shakaranumn, then I need downgrade for report?23:06
shakaranthe real problem is that this method reduce the options for report a bug. If you use a package from PPA, you cant report a bug. I have similar issues with firefox-daily ppa23:07
shakaranI suspect that many bugs was lost from ppa's23:08
mrooneyshakaran: well right, but the problem is, how do you know if the bug exists only in the PPA? If it does, it isn't an Ubuntu bug23:10
mrooneythe only way to know is to test the version in Ubuntu and at that point it should be filed against that23:10
mrooneythere has been some discussion on filing bugs against PPAs23:10
shakaranwell, maybe launchpad needs a option to check from ppa o a checkbox for mark a ppa23:11
shakaranUbuntu ship wine-1.0.1...the ppa has wine-1-1-31...these are 30 versions of updates. I have to downgrade there are many probabilities that this bug are different or dont exist.23:12
shakaranthe same with firefox, I test firefox-3.6 and firefox-3.7. Ubuntu ships firefox 3.5. The testing users needs some way for report bugs on ppas. Ubuntu gets better supports with the testing users from ppas.23:14
mrooneywell, the thing is you are testing upstream versions generally in PPAs, and the bugs generally therefore belong upstream23:15
mrooneyit is really a very complicated problem23:15
mrooneythere is no one right solution23:15
mrooneywhat we really need is a way to mark a package in a PPA as "official" in some way, so that we can say hey, we care about bugs in these versions, and let users report bugs there23:16
mrooneybut for most PPAs, bugs going to Ubuntu makes zero sense23:16
shakaranwel, then the ubuntu developers need to talks with wine developers for put a official ppa for this cases.23:17
shakaran(sorry for my english)23:17
mrooneyright but Launchpad doesn't have the concept of official PPAs23:18
mrooney(yet)23:18
shakaranI'd be really happy if we could move this matter quickly. It really is something that is needed.23:20
shakaranI install the official wine package for ubuntu, and I dont have this issue...but is a old version. I have many bugs with other apps23:22
mrooneyRight, the newer version is much better23:24
