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.

New updated "1.2 installation problems" list.

I have added the "Password: prompt" bug to the list of problems, and added
what I think are the proper interumn fixes for most of the list.
Pleas check the list over, and let me know if it is clean enough to
publish on debian-user...Bruce?
I would hope that publishing the list on debian-user will reduce the
repetition on these problems.
Thanks for all the feedback.

More than one report:

1. Already reported as a bug:  Can't find xlib6 so file.  
	Add /usr/X11R6/lib to ld.so.conf and run ldconfig.

2. Dselect fails to satisfy pre-depends for perl (libdl1)  
	Installing ldso by hand solves the problem.

3. Bug#5659: dpkg-gencontrol fails in chown new files listfile.
	Possible patch.

4. New sendmail fails to use old .cf file  
	One report indicates re-installation fixes the problem.

5. Cron dies. (actually never starts)
	Run "update-rc.d cron defaults"

6. After booting the first promt is for Password: rather than Login:
	Edit the line in /etc/inittab for tty1 to look like the tty2 line.
	Then kill -HUP 1 and the problem will go away.

7. Gcc depends on cpp, but cpp conflicts with gcc.
	Retag gcc and re-run deselect.

8. Modconf messes up screen display on some lines.
	Possible dialog problem?

9. /bin/perl disapears and reappears during installation.
	Replace link by hand: ln -s /usr/bin/perl /bin/perl

10. Bug#5479 dpkg fails to preserve set id bits when copying files.
	No fix reported (possible patch)

Single reports:

11. gpm preinstall can't remove old gpm
	Remove by hand using dpkg --purge.

12. xbase can't remove xdm and xfs
	Remove by hand using dpkg --purge.

13. libg++ and libg++-dev conflict. 
	Re-running the installation fixes it.

14. dependent packages bomb because libc5 is not installed first
	Upgrade base first.

15. no /dev/sr0 from MAKEDEV
	New version fixes this.

16. Gimp fails because there is no .gimprc file
	Create an empty .gimprc

17. Base-files should Provide: base
    Was: Smartlist and possibly other programs as well, depend on base.
	Fixed in the next version.

18. Adduser depends on perl-suid, not in base.
	Install by hand using --force-depends

19. Mc fails to declare it's dependence on libgpm.
	Should declare dpendence on libgpm.
	Install the gpm package.

Later,

Dwarf
