I got this. 1.3-9 (in potato) works fine. Any reason for -9 not to be in
slink?

If I'm not mistaken these and 29479 and 30336 are the same bug. Could s/o
please merge them?

This morning, I uploaded a mozilla (latest tarball) compiled with the
fixed libc6 and libstdc++2.9. It no longer dumps core immediately after
startup, and should be somewhat usable again (it's still alpha code of
course). It is marked Maintainer: Debian QA group

from this bug's page I gather this is fixed... but I can't get to
ftp.de.debian.org right now:
ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL: ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/
The following FTP error was encountered:
Can't set guest privileges.

I'm fighting this one... in my own pacakge (wdm). There's something fishy
about start-stop-daemon <-> [wx]dm; it's used like this:
start-stop-daemon --signal 0 --pidfile /var/run/xdm.pid
^^^^^^^
Branden, please note the documented
flag is --pidfile not --pid
but it doesn't always work as intended. In fact, most of the time it
doesn't work as intended. Any suggestions as how to detect if [wx]dm is
already running? I'm currently looking at something like "ps axh | grep
xdm", but I don't like it.

PS: Did we set a date for the BSD? (Ironic, isn't it?)
