The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

This is more like what I was expecting!

That would be my guess.

I believe that this was reported as an upgrade problem with dselect not
recognizing that ld.so provides libdl1.

Yep, that's the one.

Good! I'll remove this one from the list.

I'm not sure. There was only one report on this, and it seemed clear the
user thought it was libc5. Claimed that installing it by hand fixed
things.

Good! One more off the list.

That was my conclusion as well, but I wasn't sure that base-files actually
replaced all the base package files.

This is also an upgrade issue. Yes, it works but you have to
--force-depends to install it because of the dependecy...if you don't want
perl-suid installed.
