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.

the problem is in sysvinit 2.70 - it has support for the new glibc wtmp
format, which is what is causing the corruption.

downgrade to sysvinit 2.69 from rex (and remember to mark it Hold if you
use dselect) and reboot. Note, that's the original rex...not rex-fixed
or rex-updates.

we really need a new sysvinit ASAP, or withdraw the 2.70 package!!!
