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.

dpkg-ftp vs. pre-depends (was Re: Composite list of reported problems with 1.2)

These three may be the result of something I've finally
confirmed---when upgrading via dpkg-ftp, pre-depends lines are not
correctly operated upon, meaning that perl (which start-stop-daemon
depends on, which #11 uses) can be left non-functional (as in #2),
etc.

I haven't had time to dig into dpkg-ftp to see what's going on, as I
only just identified the problem for certain yesterday.

Mike.
