+
+<h2><a name="s-whatisfaq"></a>1.1 What is this FAQ?</h2>
+
+<p>
+This document gives frequently asked questions (with their answers!) about the
+Debian distribution (Debian GNU/Linux and others) and about the Debian project.
+If applicable, pointers to other documentation will be given: we won't quote
+large parts of external documentation in this document. You'll find out that
+some answers assume some knowledge of Unix-like operating systems. We'll try
+to assume as little prior knowledge as possible: answers to general beginners
+questions will be kept simple.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you can't find what you're looking for in this FAQ, be sure to check out <a
+href="ch-support.en.html#s-debiandocs">What other documentation exists on and
+for a Debian system?, Section 12.1</a>. If even that doesn't help, refer to <a
+href="ch-faqinfo.en.html#s-feedback">Feedback, Section 16.2</a>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-whatisdebian"></a>1.2 What is Debian GNU/Linux?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian GNU/Linux is a particular <em>distribution</em> of the Linux operating
+system, and numerous packages that run on it.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian GNU/Linux is:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>full featured</strong>: Debian includes more than 18200 software
+packages at present. Users can select which packages to install; Debian
+provides a tool for this purpose. You can find a list and descriptions of the
+packages currently available in Debian at any of the Debian <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/distrib/ftplist">mirror sites</a></code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>free to use and redistribute</strong>: There is no consortium
+membership or payment required to participate in its distribution and
+development. All packages that are formally part of Debian GNU/Linux are free
+to redistribute, usually under terms specified by the GNU General Public
+License.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Debian FTP archives also carry approximately 560 software packages (in the
+<samp>non-free</samp> and <samp>contrib</samp> sections), which are
+distributable under specific terms included with each package.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>dynamic</strong>: With about 1060 volunteers constantly contributing
+new and improved code, Debian is evolving rapidly. The FTP archives are
+updated twice every day.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Most Linux users run a specific <em>distribution</em> of Linux, like Debian
+GNU/Linux. However, in principle, users could obtain the Linux kernel via the
+Internet or from elsewhere, and compile it themselves. They could then obtain
+source code for many applications in the same way, compile the programs, then
+install them into their systems. For complicated programs, this process can be
+not only time-consuming but error-prone. To avoid it, users often choose to
+obtain the operating system and the application packages from one of the Linux
+distributors. What distinguishes the various Linux distributors are the
+software, protocols, and practices they use for packaging, installing, and
+tracking applications packages on users' systems, combined with installation
+and maintenance tools, documentation, and other services.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian GNU/Linux is the result of a volunteer effort to create a free,
+high-quality Unix-compatible operating system, complete with a suite of
+applications. The idea of a free Unix-like system originates from the GNU
+project, and many of the applications that make Debian GNU/Linux so useful were
+developed by the GNU project.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For Debian, free has the GNUish meaning (see the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines">Debian Free Software
+Guidelines</a></code>). When we speak of free software, we are referring to
+freedom, not price. Free software means that you have the freedom to
+distribute copies of free software, that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Debian Project was created by Ian Murdock in 1993, initially under the
+sponsorship of the Free Software Foundation's GNU project. Today, Debian's
+developers think of it as a direct descendent of the GNU project.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Although Debian GNU/Linux itself is free software, it is a base upon which
+value-added Linux distributions can be built. By providing a reliable,
+full-featured base system, Debian provides Linux users with increased
+compatibility, and allows Linux distribution creators to eliminate duplication
+of effort and focus on the things that make their distribution special. See <a
+href="ch-redistrib.en.html#s-childistro">I am making a special Linux
+distribution for a &quot;vertical market&quot;. Can I use Debian GNU/Linux for
+the guts of a Linux system and add my own applications on top of it?, Section
+14.3</a> for more information.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-linux"></a>1.3 OK, now I know what Debian is... what is Linux?!</h2>
+
+<p>
+In short, Linux is the kernel of a Unix-like operating system. It was
+originally designed for 386 (and better) PCs; today Linux also runs on a dozen
+of other systems. Linux is written by Linus Torvalds and many computer
+scientists around the world.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Besides its kernel, a &quot;Linux&quot; system usually has:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+a file system that follows the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard <code><a
+href="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/">http://www.pathname.com/fhs/</a></code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+a wide range of Unix utilities, many of which have been developed by the GNU
+project and the Free Software Foundation.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+The combination of the Linux kernel, the file system, the GNU and FSF
+utilities, and the other utilities are designed to achieve compliance with the
+POSIX (IEEE 1003.1) standard; see <a href="ch-compat.en.html#s-otherunices">How
+source code compatible is Debian with other Unix systems?, Section 4.3</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For more information about Linux, see <code><a
+href="http://www.linux.org/info/">What is Linux</a></code> by <code><a
+href="http://www.linux.org/">Linux Online</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-non-linux"></a>1.4 Does Debian just do GNU/Linux?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Currently, Debian is only available for Linux, but with Debian GNU/Hurd and
+Debian on BSD kernels, we have started to offer non-Linux-based OSes as a
+development, server and desktop platform, too. However, these non-linux ports
+are not officially released yet.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The oldest porting effort is Debian GNU/Hurd.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Hurd is a set of servers running on top of the GNU Mach microkernel.
+Together they build the base for the GNU operating system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Please see <code><a
+href="http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/">http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/</a></code>
+for more information about the GNU/Hurd in general, and <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/">http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/</a></code>
+for more information about Debian GNU/Hurd.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A second effort is the port to a BSD kernel. People are working with both the
+NetBSD and the FreeBSD kernels.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+See <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/ports/#nonlinux">http://www.debian.org/ports/#nonlinux</a></code>
+for more information about these non-linux ports.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-difference"></a>1.5 What is the difference between Debian GNU/Linux and other Linux distributions? Why should I choose Debian over some other distribution?</h2>
+
+<p>
+These key features distinguish Debian from other Linux distributions:
+</p>
+<dl>
+<dt>Freedom:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+As stated in the <code><a href="http://www.debian.org/social_contract">Debian
+Social Contract</a></code>, Debian will remain 100% free. Debian is very
+strict about shipping truly free software. The guidelines used to determine if
+a work is &quot;free&quot; are provided in <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines">The Debian Free
+Software</a></code>.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>The Debian package maintenance system:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+The entire system, or any individual component of it, can be upgraded in place
+without reformatting, without losing custom configuration files, and (in most
+cases) without rebooting the system. Most Linux distributions available today
+have some kind of package maintenance system; the Debian package maintenance
+system is unique and particularly robust (see <a
+href="ch-pkg_basics.en.html">Basics of the Debian package management system,
+Chapter 7</a>).
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>Open development:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+Whereas other Linux distributions are developed by individuals, small, closed
+groups, or commercial vendors, Debian is the only major Linux distribution that
+is being developed cooperatively by many individuals through the Internet, in
+the same spirit as Linux and other free software.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+More than 1060 volunteer package maintainers are working on over 18200 packages
+and improving Debian GNU/Linux. The Debian developers contribute to the
+project not by writing new applications (in most cases), but by packaging
+existing software according to the standards of the project, by communicating
+bug reports to upstream developers, and by providing user support. See also
+additional information on how to become a contributor in <a
+href="ch-contributing.en.html#s-contrib">How can I become a Debian software
+developer?, Section 13.1</a>.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>The Universal Operating System:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+Debian comes with <code><a href="http://packages.debian.org/stable/">more than
+18200 packages</a></code> and runs on <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/ports/">11 architectures</a></code>. This is far
+more than is available for any other GNU/Linux distribution. See <a
+href="ch-software.en.html#s-apps">What types of applications and development
+software are available for Debian GNU/Linux?, Section 5.1</a> for an overview
+of the provided software and see <a href="ch-compat.en.html#s-arches">On what
+hardware architectures/systems does Debian GNU/Linux run?, Section 4.1</a> for
+a description of the supported hardware platforms.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>The Bug Tracking System:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+The geographical dispersion of the Debian developers required sophisticated
+tools and quick communication of bugs and bug-fixes to accelerate the
+development of the system. Users are encouraged to send bugs in a formal
+style, which are quickly accessible by WWW archives or via e-mail. See
+additional information in this FAQ on the management of the bug log in <a
+href="ch-support.en.html#s-buglogs">Are there logs of known bugs?, Section
+12.4</a>.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>The Debian Policy:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+Debian has an extensive specification of our standards of quality, the Debian
+Policy. This document defines the qualities and standards to which we hold
+Debian packages.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>
+For additional information about this, please see our web page about <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/intro/why_debian">reasons to choose
+Debian</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-gnu"></a>1.6 How does the Debian project fit in or compare with the Free Software Foundation's GNU project?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The Debian system builds on the ideals of free software first championed by the
+<code><a href="http://www.gnu.org/">Free Software Foundation</a></code> and in
+particular by <code><a href="http://www.stallman.org/">Richard
+Stallman</a></code>. FSF's powerful system development tools, utilities, and
+applications are also a key part of the Debian system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Debian Project is a separate entity from the FSF, however we communicate
+regularly and cooperate on various projects. The FSF explicitly requested that
+we call our system &quot;Debian GNU/Linux&quot;, and we are happy to comply
+with that request.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The FSF's long-standing objective is to develop a new operating system called
+GNU, based on <code><a
+href="http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/">Hurd</a></code>. Debian is working
+with FSF on this system, called <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/">Debian GNU/Hurd</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-pronunciation"></a>1.7 How does one pronounce Debian and what does this word mean?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The project name is pronounced Deb'-ee-en, with a short e in Deb, and emphasis
+on the first syllable. This word is a contraction of the names of Debra and
+Ian Murdock, who founded the project. (Dictionaries seem to offer some
+ambiguity in the pronunciation of Ian (!), but Ian prefers ee'-en.)

+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 3 - Choosing a Debian distribution
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<p>
+There are many different Debian distributions. Choosing the proper Debian
+distribution is an important decission. This section covers some information
+useful for users that want to make the choice best suited for their system and
+also answers possible questions that might be arising during the process. It
+does not deal with &quot;why you should choose Debian&quot; but rather
+&quot;which distribution of Debian&quot;.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For more information on the available distributions read <a

+Section 6.1</a>.

+<h2><a name="s3.1"></a>3.1 Which Debian distribution (stable/testing/unstable) is better for me?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The answer is a bit complicated. It really depends on what you intend to do.
+One solution would be to ask a friend who runs Debian. But that does not mean
+that you cannot make an independent decision. In fact, you should be able to
+decide once you complete reading this chapter.
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+If security or stability are at all important for you: install stable. period.
+This is the most preferred way.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+If you are a new user installing to a desktop machine, start with stable. Some
+of the software is quite old, but it's the least buggy environment to work in.
+You can easily switch to the more modern unstable once you are a little more
+confident.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+If you are a desktop user with some experience in Linux and does not mind
+facing the odd bug now and then, use unstable. It has all the latest and
+greatest software, and bugs are usually fixed swiftly.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+If you are running a server, especially one that has strong stability
+requirements or is exposed to the Internet, install stable. This is by far the
+strongest and safest choice.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+The following questions (hopefully) provide more detail on these choices.
+After reading this whole FAQ, if you still could not make a decision, stick
+with the stable distribution.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s3.1.1"></a>3.1.1 You asked me to install stable, but in stable so and so hardware is not detected/working. What should I do?</h3>
+
+<p>
+Try to search the web using a search engine and see if someone else is able to
+get it working in stable. Most of the hardware should work fine with stable.
+But if you have some state-of-the-art, cutting edge hardware, it might not work
+with stable. If this is the case, you might want to install/upgrade to
+unstable.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For laptops, <code><a
+href="http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/">http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/</a></code>
+is a very good website to see if someone else is able to get it to work under
+Linux. The website is not specific to Debian, but is nevertheless a tremendous
+resource. I am not aware of any such website for desktops.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Another option would be to ask in the debian-user mailing list by sending an
+email to debian-user@lists.debian.org . Messages can be posted to the list
+even without subscribing. The archives can be read through <code><a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/">http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/</a></code>
+Information regarding subscribing to the list can be found at the location of
+archives. You are strongly encourage to post your questions on the
+mailing-list than on <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/support">irc</a></code>. The mailing-list messages
+are archived, so solution to your problem can help others with the same issue.

+
+<h3><a name="s3.1.2"></a>3.1.2 Will there be different different versions of packages in different distributions?</h3>
+
+<p>
+Yes. Unstable has the most recent (latest) versions. But the packages in
+unstable are not well tested and might have bugs.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+On the other hand, stable contains old versions of packages. But this package
+is well tested and is less likely to have any bugs.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The packages in testing fall between these two extremes.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s3.1.3"></a>3.1.3 The stable distributions really contains outdated packages. Just look at Kde, Gnome, Xorg or even the kernel. They are very old. Why is it so?</h3>
+
+<p>
+Well, you might be correct. The age of the packages at stable depends on when
+the last release was made. Since there is typically over 1 year between
+releases you might find that stable contains old versions of packages.
+However, they have been tested in and out. One can confidently say that the
+packages do not have any known severe bugs, security holes etc., in them. The
+packages in stable integrate seamlessly with other stable packages. These
+characteristics are very important for production servers which have to work 24
+hours a day, 7 days a week.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+On the other hand, packages in testing or unstable can have hidden bugs,
+security holes etc., Moreover, some packages in testing and unstable might not
+be working as intended. Usually people working on a single desktop prefer
+having the latest and most modern set of packages. Unstable is the solution
+for this group of people.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+As you can see, stability and novelty are two opposing ends of the spectrum.
+If stability is required: install stable distribution. If you want to work
+with the latest packages, then install unstable.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s3.1.4"></a>3.1.4 If I were to decide to change to another distribution, Can I do that?</h3>
+
+<p>
+Yes, but it is a one way process. You can go from stable --&gt; testing --&gt;
+unstable. But the reverse direction is not &quot;possible&quot;. So better be
+sure if you are planning to install/upgrade to unstable.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Actually, if you are an expert and if you are willing to spend some time and if
+you are real careful and if you know what you are doing, then it might be
+possible to go from unstable to testing and then to stable. The installer
+scripts are not designed to do that. So in the process, your configuration
+files might be lost and....
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s3.1.5"></a>3.1.5 Could you tell me whether to install testing or unstable?</h3>
+
+<p>
+This is a rather subjective issue. There is no perfect answer but only a
+&quot;wise guess&quot; could be made while deciding between unstable and
+testing. My personal order of preference is Stable, Unstable and Testing. The
+issue is like this:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Stable is rock solid. It does not break.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Testing breaks less often than Unstable. But when it breaks, it takes a long
+time for things to get rectified. Sometimes this could be days and it could be
+months at times.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Unstable changes a lot, and it can break at any point. However, fixes get
+rectified in many occasions in a couple of days and it always has the latest
+releases of software packaged for Debian.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+But there are times when tracking testing would be beneficial as opposed to
+unstable. The author such situation due to the gcc transition from gcc3 to
+gcc4. He was trying to install the <code>labplot</code> package on a machine
+tracking unstable and it could not be installed in unstable as some of its
+dependencies have undergone gcc4 transition and some have not. But the package
+in testing was installable on a testing machine as the gcc4 transitioned
+packages had not &quot;trickled down&quot; to testing.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s3.1.6"></a>3.1.6 You are talking about testing being broken. What do you mean by that?</h3>
+
+<p>
+Sometimes, a package might not be installable through package management tools.
+Sometimes, a package might not be available at all, maybe it was (temporarily)
+removed due to bugs or unmet dependencies. Sometimes, a package installs but
+does not behave in the proper way.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+When these things happen, the distribution is said to be broken (at least for
+this package).
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s3.1.7"></a>3.1.7 Why is it that testing could be broken for months? Wont the fixes introduced in unstable flow directly down into testing?</h3>
+
+<p>
+The bug fixes and improvements introduced in the unstable distribution trickle
+down to testing after a certain number of days. Let's say this threshold is 10
+days. The packages in unstable go into testing only when there are no RC-bugs
+reported against them. If there is a RC-bug filed against a package in
+unstable, it will not go into testing after the 10 days.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The idea is that, if the package has any problems, it would be discovered by
+people using unstable and will be fixed before it enters testing. This keeps
+the testing in an usable state for most period of the time. Overall a
+brilliant concept, if you ask me. But things are alwasy not so simple.
+Consider the following situation:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Imagine you are interested in package XYZ.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Let's assume that on June 10, the version in testing is XYZ-3.6 and in unstable
+it is XYZ-3.7
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+After 10 days, XYZ-3.7 from unstable migrates into testing.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+So on June 20, both testing and unstable have XYZ-3.7 in their repositories.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Let's say, The user of testing distribution sees that a new XYZ package is
+available and updates his XYZ-3.6 to XYZ-3.7
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Now on June 25, someone using testing or unstable discovers an RC bug in
+XYZ-3.7 and files it in the BTS.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+The maintainer of XYZ fixes this bug and uploads it to unstable say on June 30.
+Here it is assumed that it takes 5 days for the maintainer to fix the bug and
+upload the new version. The number 5 should not be taken literally. It could
+be less or more, depending upon the severity of the RC-bug at hand.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+This new version in unstable, XYZ-3.8 is scheduled to enter testing on July
+10th.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+But on July 5th some other person, discovers another RC-bug in XYZ-3.8
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Let's say the maintainer of XYZ fixes this new RC-bug and uploads new version
+of XYZ after 5 days.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+So on July 10, testing has XYZ-3.7 while unstable has XYZ-3.9
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+This new version XYZ-3.9 is now rescheduled to enter testing on July 20th.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Now since you are running testing, and since XYZ-3.7 is buggy, you could
+probably use XYZ only after July 20th. That is you essentially ended up with a
+broken XYZ for about one month.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+The situation can get much more complicated, if say, XYZ depends on 4 other
+packages. This could in turn lead to unusable testing distribution for months.
+The above scenario which is artificially created by me, can occur in the real
+life. But such occurrences are rare.
+</p>

+
+<h3><a name="s3.1.8"></a>3.1.8 From an administrator's point of view, Which distribution requires more attention?</h3>
+
+<p>
+One of the main reasons many people chose Debian over other Linux distributions
+is that it requires very little administration. People want a system that just
+works. In general one can say that, stable requires very little maintenance
+while testing and unstable require constant maintenance from the administrator.
+If you are running stable, all you need to worry about is, keeping track of
+security updates. If you are running either testing or unstable it is a good
+idea to be aware of the new bugs discovered in the installed packages, new
+bugfixes/features introduced etc.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s3.1.9"></a>3.1.9 What happens when a new release is made?</h3>
+
+<p>
+This question will not help you in choosing a Debian distribution. But sooner
+or later you will face this question.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The stable distribution is currently etch; The next stable distribution will be
+called as lenny. Let's consider the particular case as to what happens when
+lenny is released as the new stable version.
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+oldstable = sarge; stable = etch; testing = lenny; unstable = sid
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Unstable is always referred to as sid irrespective of whether a release is made
+or not.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+packages constantly migrate from sid to testing (i.e. lenny). But packages in
+stable (i.e. etch) remain the same except for security updates.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+after sometime testing becomes frozen. But it will still be called testing.
+At this point no new packages from unstable can migrate to testing unless they
+include release-critical (RC) bug fixes.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+When testing is frozen, all the new bugfixes introduced, have to be manualy
+checked by the members of the release team. This is done to ensure that there
+wont be any unknown severe problems in the frozen testing.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+RC bugs in 'frozen testing' are reduced to zero.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+The 'frozen testing' with no rc-bugs will be released as the new stable
+version. In our example, this new stable release will be called as lenny.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+At this stage oldstable = etch, stable = lenny. The contents of stable and
+'frozen testing' are same at this point.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+A new testing is forked from the current stable.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Packages start coming down from sid to testing and the Debian community will be
+working towards making the next stable release.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s3.1.10"></a>3.1.10 I have a working Desktop/cluster with Debian installed. How do I know which distribution I am running?</h3>
+
+<p>
+In most situations it is very easy to figure this out. Take a look at the
+<code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> file. There will be an entry similar to
+this:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+The third field ('unstable' in the above example) indicates the Debian
+distribution the system is currently tracking.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You can also use <code>lsb_release</code> (available in the
+<code>lsb-release</code> package). If you run this program in an unstable
+system you will get:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ $ lsb_release -a
+ LSB Version: core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-noarch:core-3.1-noarch:core-2.0-ia32:core-3.0-ia32:core-3.1-ia32
+ Distributor ID: Debian
+ Description: Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid)
+ Release: unstable
+ Codename: sid
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+However, this is always not that easy. Some systems might have
+<code>sources.list</code> files with multiple entries corresponding to
+different distributions. This could happen if the administrator is tracking
+different packages from different Debian distributions. This is frequently
+referred to as apt-pinning. These systems might run a mixture of
+distributions.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s3.1.11"></a>3.1.11 I am currently tracking stable. Can I change to testing or unstable? If so, How?</h3>
+
+<p>
+If you are currently running stable, then in the
+<code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> file the third field will be either etch or
+stable. You need to change this to the distribution you want to run. If you
+want to run testing, then change the third field of
+<code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> to testing. If you want to run unstable,
+then change the third field to unstable.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Currently testing is called lenny. So, if you change the third field of
+<code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> to lenny, then also you will be running
+testing. But when lenny becomes stable, you will still be tracking lenny.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Unstable is always called Sid. So if you change the third field of
+<code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> to sid, then you will be tracking unstable.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Currently Debian offers security updates for testing but not for unstable, as
+fixes in unstable are directly made to the main archive. So if you are running
+unstable make sure that you remove the lines relating to security updates in
+<code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If there is a release notes document available for the distribution you are
+upgrading to (even though it has not yet been released) it would be wise to
+review it, as it might provide information on how you should upgrade to it.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Nevertheless, once you make the above changes, you can run <code>aptitude
+update</code> and then install the packages that you want. Notice that
+installing a package from a different distribution might automatically upgrade
+half of your system. If you install individual packages you will end up with a
+system running mixed distributions.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It might be best in some situations to just fully upgrade to the new
+distribution running <code>apt-get dist-upgrade</code>, <code>aptitude
+safe-upgrade</code> or <code>aptitude full-upgrade</code>. Read apt's and
+aptitude's manual pages for more information.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s3.1.12"></a>3.1.12 I am currently tracking testing (lenny). What will happen when a release is made? Will I still be tracking testing or will my machine be running the new stable distribution?</h3>
+
+<p>
+It depends on the entries in the <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> file. If
+you are currently tracking testing, these entries are similar to either:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+or
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+If the third field in <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> is 'testing' then you
+will be tracking testing even after a release is made. So after lenny is
+released, you will be running a new Debian distribution which will have a
+different codename. Changes might not be apparent at first but will be evident
+as soon as new packages from unstable go over to the testing distribution.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+But if the third field contains 'lenny' then you will be tracking stable (since
+lenny will then be the new stable distribution).
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s3.1.13"></a>3.1.13 I am still confused. What did you say I should install?</h3>
+
+<p>
+If unsure, the best bet would be stable distribution.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s3.2"></a>3.2 But what about Knoppix, Linex, Ubuntu, and others?</h2>
+
+<p>
+They are not Debian; they are <em>Debian based</em>. Though there are many
+similarities and commonalities between them, there are also crucial
+differences.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+All these distributions have their own merits and are suited to some specific
+set of users. For more information, read the information of <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/misc/children-distros">software distributions based
+on Debian</a></code> available at the Debian website.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s3.2.1"></a>3.2.1 I know that Knoppix/Linex/Ubuntu/... is Debian-based. So after installing it on the hard disk, can I use 'apt' package tools on it?</h3>
+
+<p>
+These distributions are Debian based. But they are not Debian. You will be
+still able to use apt package tools by pointing the
+<code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> file to these distributions' repositories.
+But then you are not running Debian, you are running a different distribution.
+They are not the same.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+In most situations if you stick with one distribution you should use that and
+not mix packages from other distributions. Many common breakages arise due to
+people running a distribution and trying to install Debian packages from other
+distributions. The fact that they use the same formatting and name (.deb) does
+not make them inmediately compatible.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, Knoppix is a Linux distribution designed to be booted as a live CD
+where as Debian is designed to be installed on hard-disk. Knoppix is great if
+you want to know whether a particular hardware works, or if you want to
+experience how a linux system 'feels' etc., Knoppix is good for demonstration
+purposes while Debian is designed to run 24/7. Moreover the number of packages
+available, the number of architectures supported by Debian are far more greater
+than that of Knoppix.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you want Debian, it is best to install Debian from the get-go. Although it
+is possible to install Debian through other distributions, such as Knoppix, the
+procedure calls for expertise. If you are reading this FAQ, I would assume
+that you are new to both Debian and Knoppix. In that case, save yourself a lot
+of trouble later and install Debian right at the beginning.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s3.2.2"></a>3.2.2 I installed Knoppix/Linex/Ubuntu/... on my hard disk. Now I have a problem. What should I do?</h3>
+
+<p>
+You are advised not to use the Debian forums (either mailing lists or IRC) for
+help as people might advise you thinking that you are running a Debian system
+and the &quot;fixes&quot; they provide might not be suited to what you are
+running. They might even worsen the problem you are facing.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Use the forums of the specific distribution you are using first. If you do not
+get help or the help you get does not fix your problem you might want to try
+asking in Debian forums, but keep the advise of the previous paragraph in mind.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s3.2.3"></a>3.2.3 I'm using Knoppix/Linex/Ubuntu/... and now I want to use Debian. How do I migrate?</h3>
+
+<p>
+Consider the change from a Debian-based distribution to Debian just like a
+change from one operating system to another one. You should make a backup of
+all your date and reinstall the operating system from scratch. You should not
+attempt to &quot;upgrade&quot; to Debian using the package management tools as
+you might end up with an unusable system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If all your user data (i.e. your <code>/home</code>) is under a separate
+partition migrating to Debian is actually quite simple, you just have to tell
+the installation system to mount (but not reformat) that partition when
+reinstalling. Making backups of your data, as well as your previous system's
+configuration (i.e. <code>/etc/</code> and, maybe, <code>/var/</code>) is
+still encouraged.

+

+
+<h2><a name="s-arches"></a>4.1 On what hardware architectures/systems does Debian GNU/Linux run?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian GNU/Linux includes complete source-code for all of the included
+programs, so it should work on all systems which are supported by the Linux
+kernel; see the <code><a
+href="http://en.tldp.org/FAQ/Linux-FAQ/intro.html#DOES-LINUX-RUN-ON-MY-COMPUTER">Linux
+FAQ</a></code> for details.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The current Debian GNU/Linux release, 4.0, contains a complete, binary
+distribution for the following architectures:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>i386</em>: this covers systems based on Intel and compatible processors,
+including Intel's 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II (both Klamath and
+Celeron), and Pentium III, and most compatible processors by AMD, Cyrix and
+others.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>amd64</em>: this covers systems based on AMD 64bit CPUs with AMD64
+extension and all Intel CPUs with EM64T extension, and a common 64bit
+userspace.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>alpha</em>: Compaq/Digital's Alpha systems.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>sparc</em>: this covers Sun's SPARC and most UltraSPARC systems.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>powerpc</em>: this covers some IBM/Motorola PowerPC machines, including
+CHRP, PowerMac and PReP machines.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>arm</em>: ARM and StrongARM machines.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>mips</em>: SGI's big-endian MIPS systems, Indy and Indigo2;
+<em>mipsel</em>: little-endian MIPS machines, Digital DECstations.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>hppa</em>: Hewlett-Packard's PA-RISC machines (712, C3000, L2000, A500).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>ia64</em>: Intel IA-64 (&quot;Itanium&quot;) computers.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>s390</em>: IBM S/390 mainframe systems.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The development of binary distributions of Debian for Sparc64 (UltraSPARC
+native) architectures is currently underway.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Support for the <em>m68k</em> architecture was dropped in this release, because
+it did not meet the criteria set by the Debian Release Managers. This
+architecture covers Amigas and ATARIs having a Motorola 680x0 processor for
+x&gt;=2; with MMU. However, the port is still active and available for
+installation even if not a part of this official stable release and might be
+reactivated for future releases.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For more information on the available ports see the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/ports/">ports pages at the website</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For further information on booting, partitioning your drive, enabling PCMCIA
+(PC Card) devices and similar issues please follow the instructions given in
+the Installation Manual, which is available from our WWW site at <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual">http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual</a></code>.

+
+<h2><a name="s-otherdistribs"></a>4.2 How compatible is Debian with other distributions of Linux?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian developers communicate with other Linux distribution creators in an
+effort to maintain binary compatibility across Linux distributions. Most
+commercial Linux products run as well under Debian as they do on the system
+upon which they were built.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian GNU/Linux adheres to the <code><a
+href="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/">Linux Filesystem Hierarchy
+Standard</a></code>. However, there is room for interpretation in some of the
+rules within this standard, so there may be slight differences between a Debian
+system and other Linux systems.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian GNU/Linux supports software developed for the <code><a
+href="http://www.linuxbase.org/">Linux Standard Base</a></code>. The LSB is a
+specification for allowing the same binary package to be used on multiple
+distributions. The Debian Etch release is Certified for LSB Release 3.1, see
+the <code><a
+href="https://www.linux-foundation.org/lsb-cert/productdir.php">Linux
+Foundation Certification webpage</a></code>. Discussion and coordination of
+efforts towards ensuring Debian meets the requirements of the Linux Standard
+Base is taking place on the <code><a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-lsb/">debian-lsb mailing list</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-otherunices"></a>4.3 How source code compatible is Debian with other Unix systems?</h2>
+
+<p>
+For most applications Linux source code is compatible with other Unix systems.
+It supports almost everything that is available in System V Unix systems and
+the free and commercial BSD-derived systems. However in the Unix business such
+claim has nearly no value because there is no way to prove it. In the software
+development area complete compatibility is required instead of compatibility in
+&quot;about most&quot; cases. So years ago the need for standards arose, and
+nowadays POSIX.1 (IEEE Standard 1003.1-1990) is one of the major standards for
+source code compatibility in Unix-like operating systems.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Linux is intended to adhere to POSIX.1, but the POSIX standards cost real money
+and the POSIX.1 (and FIPS 151-2) certification is quite expensive; this made it
+more difficult for the Linux developers to work on complete POSIX conformance.
+The certification costs make it unlikely that Debian will get an official
+conformance certification even if it completely passed the validation suite.
+(The validation suite is now freely available, so it is expected that more
+people will work on POSIX.1 issues.)
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Unifix GmbH (Braunschweig, Germany) developed a Linux system that has been
+certified to conform to FIPS 151-2 (a superset of POSIX.1). This technology
+was available in Unifix' own distribution called Unifix Linux 2.0 and in
+Lasermoon's Linux-FT.

+<h2><a name="s-otherpackages"></a>4.4 Can I use Debian packages (&quot;.deb&quot; files) on my Red Hat/Slackware/... Linux system? Can I use Red Hat packages (&quot;.rpm&quot; files) on my Debian GNU/Linux system?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Different Linux distributions use different package formats and different
+package management programs.
+</p>
+<dl>
+<dt><strong>You probably can:</strong></dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+A program to unpack a Debian package onto a Linux host that is been built from
+a `foreign' distribution is available, and will generally work, in the sense
+that files will be unpacked. The converse is probably also true, that is, a
+program to unpack a Red Hat or Slackware package on a host that is based on
+Debian GNU/Linux will probably succeed in unpacking the package and placing
+most files in their intended directories. This is largely a consequence of the
+existence (and broad adherence to) the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.
+The <code><a href="http://packages.debian.org/alien">Alien</a></code> package
+is used to convert between different package formats.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><strong>You probably do not want to:</strong></dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+Most package managers write administrative files when they are used to unpack
+an archive. These administrative files are generally not standardized.
+Therefore, the effect of unpacking a Debian package on a `foreign' host will
+have unpredictable (certainly not useful) effects on the package manager on
+that system. Likewise, utilities from other distributions might succeed in
+unpacking their archives on Debian systems, but will probably cause the Debian
+package management system to fail when the time comes to upgrade or remove some
+packages, or even simply to report exactly what packages are present on a
+system.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><strong>A better way:</strong></dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+The Linux File System Standard (and therefore Debian GNU/Linux) requires that
+subdirectories under <samp>/usr/local/</samp> be entirely under the user's
+discretion. Therefore, users can unpack `foreign' packages into this
+directory, and then manage their configuration, upgrade and removal
+individually.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-non-debian-programs"></a>4.5 How should I install a non-Debian program?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Files under the directory <samp>/usr/local/</samp> are not under the control of
+the Debian package management system. Therefore, it is good practice to place
+the source code for your program in /usr/local/src/. For example, you might
+extract the files for a package named &quot;foo.tar&quot; into the directory
+<samp>/usr/local/src/foo</samp>. After you compile them, place the binaries in
+<samp>/usr/local/bin/</samp>, the libraries in <samp>/usr/local/lib/</samp>,
+and the configuration files in <samp>/usr/local/etc/</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If your programs and/or files really must be placed in some other directory,
+you could still store them in <samp>/usr/local/</samp>, and build the
+appropriate symbolic links from the required location to its location in
+<samp>/usr/local/</samp>, e.g., you could make the link
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ ln -s /usr/local/bin/foo /usr/bin/foo
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+In any case, if you obtain a package whose copyright allows redistribution, you
+should consider making a Debian package of it, and uploading it for the Debian
+system. Guidelines for becoming a package developer are included in the Debian
+Policy manual (see <a href="ch-support.en.html#s-debiandocs">What other
+documentation exists on and for a Debian system?, Section 12.1</a>).
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-termcap"></a>4.6 Why can't I compile programs that require libtermcap?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian uses the <samp>terminfo</samp> database and the <samp>ncurses</samp>
+library of terminal interface routes, rather than the <samp>termcap</samp>
+database and the <samp>termcap</samp> library. Users who are compiling
+programs that require some knowledge of the terminal interface should replace
+references to <samp>libtermcap</samp> with references to
+<samp>libncurses</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To support binaries that have already been linked with the <samp>termcap</samp>
+library, and for which you do not have the source, Debian provides a package
+called <code>termcap-compat</code>. This provides both
+<samp>libtermcap.so.2</samp> and <samp>/etc/termcap</samp>. Install this
+package if the program fails to run with the error message &quot;can't load
+library 'libtermcap.so.2'&quot;, or complains about a missing
+<samp>/etc/termcap</samp> file.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-accelx"></a>4.7 Why can't I install AccelX?</h2>
+
+<p>
+AccelX uses the <samp>termcap</samp> library for installation. See <a
+href="#s-termcap">Why can't I compile programs that require libtermcap?,
+Section 4.6</a> above.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-motifnls"></a>4.8 Why do my old XFree 2.1 Motif applications crash?</h2>
+
+<p>
+You need to install the <code>motifnls</code> package, which provides the
+XFree-2.1 configuration files needed to allow Motif applications compiled under
+XFree-2.1 to run under XFree-3.1.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Without these files, some Motif applications compiled on other machines (such
+as Netscape) may crash when attempting to copy or paste from or to a text
+field, and may also exhibit other problems.

+<br>Chapter 13 - Contributing to the Debian Project
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<p>
+<code><a href="http://www.debian.org/donations">Donations</a></code> of time
+(to develop new packages, maintain existing packages, or provide user support),
+resources (to mirror the FTP and WWW archives), and money (to pay for new
+testbeds as well as hardware for the archives) can help the project.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-contrib"></a>13.1 How can I become a Debian software developer?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The development of Debian is open to all, and new users with the right skills
+and/or the willingness to learn are needed to maintain existing packages which
+have been &quot;orphaned&quot; by their previous maintainers, to develop new
+packages, and to provide user support.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The description of becoming a Debian developer can be found at the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/devel/join/newmaint">New Maintainer's
+Corner</a></code> at the Debian web site.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-contribresources"></a>13.2 How can I contribute resources to the Debian project?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Since the project aims to make a substantial body of software rapidly and
+easily accessible throughout the globe, mirrors are urgently needed. It is
+desirable but not absolutely necessary to mirror all of the archive. Please
+visit the <code><a href="http://www.debian.org/mirror/size">Debian mirror
+size</a></code> page for information on the disk space requirements.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Most of the mirroring is accomplished entirely automatically by scripts,
+without any interaction. However, the occasional glitch or system change
+occurs which requires human intervention.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you have a high-speed connection to the Internet, the resources to mirror
+all or part of the distribution, and are willing to take the time (or find
+someone) who can provide regular maintenance of the system, then please contact
+<code><a
+href="mailto:debian-admin@lists.debian.org">debian-admin@lists.debian.org</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-supportingorganizations"></a>13.3 How can I contribute financially to the Debian project?</h2>
+
+<p>
+One can make individual donations to one of two organizations that are critical
+to the development of the Debian project.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-SPI"></a>13.3.1 Software in the Public Interest</h3>
+
+<p>
+Software in the Public Interest (SPI) is an IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit
+organization, formed when FSF withdrew their sponsorship of Debian. The
+purpose of the organization is to develop and distribute free software.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Our goals are very much like those of FSF, and we encourage programmers to use
+the GNU General Public License on their programs. However, we have a slightly
+different focus in that we are building and distributing a Linux system that
+diverges in many technical details from the GNU system as originally planned by
+FSF. We still communicate with FSF, and we cooperate in sending them changes
+to GNU software and in asking our users to donate to FSF and the GNU project.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+SPI can be reached at: <code><a
+href="http://www.spi-inc.org/">http://www.spi-inc.org/</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-FSF"></a>13.3.2 Free Software Foundation</h3>
+
+<p>
+At this time there is no formal connection between Debian and the Free Software
+Foundation. However, the Free Software Foundation is responsible for some of
+the most important software components in Debian, including the GNU C compiler,
+GNU Emacs, and much of the C run-time library that is used by all programs on
+the system. FSF pioneered much of what free software is today: they wrote the
+General Public License that is used on much of the Debian software, and they
+invented the &quot;GNU&quot; project to create an entirely free Unix system.
+Debian should be considered a descendent of the GNU system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+FSF can be reached at: <code><a
+href="http://www.fsf.org/">http://www.fsf.org/</a></code>.

+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-papersize"></a>11.1 How can I ensure that all programs use the same paper size?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Install the <code>libpaper1</code> package, and it will ask you for a
+system-wide default paper size. This setting will be kept in the file
+<samp>/etc/papersize</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Users can override the paper size setting using the <samp>PAPERSIZE</samp>
+environment variable. For details, see the manual page
+<code>papersize(5)</code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-hardwareaccess"></a>11.2 How can I provide access to hardware peripherals, without compromising security?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Many device files in the <samp>/dev</samp> directory belong to some predefined
+groups. For example, <samp>/dev/fd0</samp> belongs to the <samp>floppy</samp>
+group, and <samp>/dev/dsp</samp> belongs to the <samp>audio</samp> group.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you want a certain user to have access to one of these devices, just add the
+user to the group the device belongs to, i.e. do:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ adduser user group
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+This way you won't have to change the file permissions on the device.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you do this from within a user's shell or a GUI environment you have to
+logout and login again to become an effective member of that group. To check
+which groups you belong to run <samp>groups</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Notice that, since the introduction of <samp>udev</samp> if you change the
+permissions of a hardware peripheral they might be be adjusted for some devices
+when the system starts, if this happens to the hardware peripherals you are
+instered in you will have to adjust the rules at <samp>/etc/udev</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-consolefont"></a>11.3 How do I load a console font on startup the Debian way?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The <code>kbd</code> and <code>console-tools</code> packages support this, edit
+<samp>/etc/kbd/config</samp> or <samp>/etc/console-tools/config</samp> files.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-appdefaults"></a>11.4 How can I configure an X11 program's application defaults?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian's X programs will install their application resource data in the
+<samp>/etc/X11/app-defaults/</samp> directory. If you want to customize X
+applications globally, put your customizations in those files. They are marked
+as configuration files, so their contents will be preserved during upgrades.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-booting"></a>11.5 Every distribution seems to have a different boot-up method. Tell me about Debian's.</h2>
+
+<p>
+Like all Unices, Debian boots up by executing the program <samp>init</samp>.
+The configuration file for <samp>init</samp> (which is
+<samp>/etc/inittab</samp>) specifies that the first script to be executed
+should be <samp>/etc/init.d/rcS</samp>. This script runs all of the scripts in
+<samp>/etc/rcS.d/</samp> by sourcing or forking subprocess depending on their
+file extension to perform initialization such as to check and to mount file
+systems, to load modules, to start the network services, to set the clock, and
+to perform other initialization. Then, for compatibility, it runs the files
+(except those with a `.'in the filename) in <samp>/etc/rc.boot/</samp> too.
+Any scripts in the latter directory are usually reserved for system
+administrator use, and using them in packages is deprecated.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+After completing the boot process, <samp>init</samp> executes all start scripts
+in a directory specified by the default runlevel (this runlevel is given by the
+entry for <samp>id</samp> in <samp>/etc/inittab</samp>). Like most System V
+compatible Unices, Linux has 7 runlevels:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+0 (halt the system),
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+1 (single-user mode),
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+2 through 5 (various multi-user modes), and
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+6 (reboot the system).
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Debian systems come with id=2, which indicates that the default runlevel will
+be '2' when the multi-user state is entered, and the scripts in
+<samp>/etc/rc2.d/</samp> will be run.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+In fact, the scripts in any of the directories, <samp>/etc/rcN.d/</samp> are
+just symbolic links back to scripts in <samp>/etc/init.d/</samp>. However, the
+<em>names</em> of the files in each of the <samp>/etc/rcN.d/</samp> directories
+are selected to indicate the <em>way</em> the scripts in
+<samp>/etc/init.d/</samp> will be run. Specifically, before entering any
+runlevel, all the scripts beginning with 'K' are run; these scripts kill
+services. Then all the scripts beginning with 'S' are run; these scripts start
+services. The two-digit number following the 'K' or 'S' indicates the order in
+which the script is run. Lower numbered scripts are executed first.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This approach works because the scripts in <samp>/etc/init.d/</samp> all take
+an argument which can be either `start', `stop', `reload', `restart' or
+`force-reload' and will then do the task indicated by the argument. These
+scripts can be used even after a system has been booted, to control various
+processes.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, with the argument `reload' the command
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ /etc/init.d/sendmail reload
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+sends the sendmail daemon a signal to reread its configuration file. (BTW,
+Debian supplies <code>invoke-rc.d</code> as a wrapper for invoking the scripts
+in <samp>/etc/init.d/</samp>.)
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-custombootscripts"></a>11.6 It looks as if Debian does not use <samp>rc.local</samp> to customize the boot process; what facilities are provided?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Suppose a system needs to execute script <samp>foo</samp> on start-up, or on
+entry to a particular (System V) runlevel. Then the system administrator
+should:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Enter the script <samp>foo</samp> into the directory <samp>/etc/init.d/</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Run the Debian command <samp>update-rc.d</samp> with appropriate arguments, to
+specify which runlevels should start the service, and which runlevels should
+stop the service.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Consider rebooting the system to check that the service starts correctly
+(assuming that you've asked for it to be started in the default runlevel).
+Otherwise, manually start it by running `<samp>/etc/init.d/foo start</samp>'.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+One might, for example, cause the script <samp>foo</samp> to execute at
+boot-up, by putting it in <samp>/etc/init.d/</samp> and running
+<samp>update-rc.d foo defaults 19</samp>. The argument `<samp>defaults</samp>'
+refers to the default runlevels, which means (at least in absence of any LSB
+comment block to the contrary) to start the service in runlevels 2 through 5,
+and to stop the service in runlevels 0, 1 and 6. (Any LSB Default-Start and
+Default-Stop directives in <samp>foo</samp> take precedence when using the
+sysv-rc version of update-rc.d, but are ignored by the current (v0.8.10)
+file-rc version of update-rc.d.) The argument `<samp>19</samp>' ensures that
+<samp>foo</samp> is called after all scripts whose number is less than 19 have
+completed, and before all scripts whose number is 20 or greater.

+<h2><a name="s-interconffiles"></a>11.7 How does the package management system deal with packages that contain configuration files for other packages?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Some users wish to create, for example, a new server by installing a group of
+Debian packages and a locally generated package consisting of configuration
+files. This is not generally a good idea, because <code>dpkg</code> will not
+know about those configuration files if they are in a different package, and
+may write conflicting configurations when one of the initial &quot;group&quot;
+of packages is upgraded.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Instead, create a local package that modifies the configuration files of the
+&quot;group&quot; of Debian packages of interest. Then <code>dpkg</code> and
+the rest of the package management system will see that the files have been
+modified by the local &quot;sysadmin&quot; and will not try to overwrite them
+when those packages are upgraded.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-divert"></a>11.8 How do I override a file installed by a package, so that a different version can be used instead?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Suppose a sysadmin or local user wishes to use a program
+&quot;login-local&quot; rather than the program &quot;login&quot; provided by
+the Debian <code>login</code> package.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Do <strong>not</strong>:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Overwrite <samp>/bin/login</samp> with <samp>login-local</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+The package management system will not know about this change, and will simply
+overwrite your custom <samp>/bin/login</samp> whenever <samp>login</samp> (or
+any package that provides <samp>/bin/login</samp>) is installed or updated.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Rather, do
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Execute:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg-divert --divert /bin/login.debian /bin/login
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+in order to cause all future installations of the Debian <code>login</code>
+package to write the file <samp>/bin/login</samp> to
+<samp>/bin/login.debian</samp> instead.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Then execute:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ cp login-local /bin/login
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+to move your own locally-built program into place.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Run <samp>dpkg-divert --list</samp> to see which diversions are currently
+active on your system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Details are given in the manual page <code>dpkg-divert(8)</code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-localpackages"></a>11.9 How can I have my locally-built package included in the list of available packages that the package management system knows about?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Execute the command:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg-scanpackages BIN_DIR OVERRIDE_FILE [PATHPREFIX] &gt; my_Packages
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+where:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+BIN-DIR is a directory where Debian archive files (which usually have an
+extension of &quot;.deb&quot;) are stored.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+OVERRIDE_FILE is a file that is edited by the distribution maintainers and is
+usually stored on a Debian FTP archive at <samp>indices/override.main.gz</samp>
+for the Debian packages in the &quot;main&quot; distribution. You can ignore
+this for local packages.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+PATHPREFIX is an <em>optional</em> string that can be prepended to the
+<samp>my_Packages</samp> file being produced.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Once you have built the file <samp>my_Packages</samp>, tell the package
+management system about it by using the command:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --merge-avail my_Packages
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+If you are using APT, you can add the local repository to your
+<code>sources.list(5)</code> file, too.
+</p>
+

+
+<h2><a name="s-diverse"></a>11.10 Some users like mawk, others like gawk; some like vim, others like elvis; some like trn, others like tin; how does Debian support diversity?</h2>
+
+<p>
+There are several cases where two packages provide two different versions of a
+program, both of which provide the same core functionality. Users might prefer
+one over another out of habit, or because the user interface of one package is
+somehow more pleasing than the interface of another. Other users on the same
+system might make a different choice.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian uses a &quot;virtual&quot; package system to allow system administrators
+to choose (or let users choose) their favorite tools when there are two or more
+that provide the same basic functionality, yet satisfy package dependency
+requirements without specifying a particular package.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, there might exist two different versions of newsreaders on a
+system. The news server package might 'recommend' that there exist
+<em>some</em> news reader on the system, but the choice of <samp>tin</samp> or
+<samp>trn</samp> is left up to the individual user. This is satisfied by
+having both the <code>tin</code> and <code>trn</code> packages provide the
+virtual package <code>news-reader</code>. <em>Which</em> program is invoked is
+determined by a link pointing from a file with the virtual package name
+<samp>/etc/alternatives/news-reader</samp> to the selected file, e.g.,
+<samp>/usr/bin/trn</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A single link is insufficient to support full use of an alternate program;
+normally, manual pages, and possibly other supporting files must be selected as
+well. The Perl script <samp>update-alternatives</samp> provides a way of
+ensuring that all the files associated with a specified package are selected as
+a system default.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, to check what executables provide `x-window-manager', run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ update-alternatives --display x-window-manager
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+If you want to change it, run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+And follow the instructions on the screen (basically, press the number next to
+the entry you'd like better).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If a package doesn't register itself as a window manager for some reason (file
+a bug if it's in error), or if you use a window manager from /usr/local
+directory, the selections on screen won't contain your preferred entry. You
+can update the link through command line options, like this:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-window-manager \
+ x-window-manager /usr/local/bin/wmaker-cvs 50
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+The first argument to `--install' option is the symlink that points to
+/etc/alternatives/NAME, where NAME is the second argument. The third argument
+is the program to which /etc/alternatives/NAME should point to, and the fourth
+argument is the priority (larger value means the alternative will more probably
+get picked automatically).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To remove an alternative you added, simply run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ update-alternatives --remove x-window-manager /usr/local/bin/wmaker-cvs
+</pre>

+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 6 - The Debian FTP archives
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-dists"></a>6.1 How many Debian distributions are there?</h2>
+
+<p>
+There are three major distributions: the &quot;stable&quot; distribution, the
+&quot;testing&quot; distribution, and the &quot;unstable&quot; distribution.
+The &quot;testing&quot; distribution is sometimes `frozen' (see <a
+href="#s-frozen">What about &quot;testing&quot;? How is it `frozen'?, Section
+6.5.1</a>). Next to these, there is the &quot;oldstable&quot; distribution
+(that's just the one from before &quot;stable&quot;), and the
+&quot;experimental&quot; distribution.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Experimental is used for packages which are still being developed, and with a
+high risk of breaking your system. It's used by developers who'd like to study
+and test bleeding edge software. Users shouldn't be using packages from here,
+because they can be dangerous and harmful even for the most experienced people.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+See <a href="ch-choosing.en.html">Choosing a Debian distribution, Chapter 3</a>
+for help when choosing a Debian distribution.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-codenames"></a>6.2 What are all those names like etch, lenny, etc.?</h2>
+
+<p>
+They are just &quot;codenames&quot;. When a Debian distribution is in the
+development stage, it has no version number but a codename. The purpose of
+these codenames is to make easier the mirroring of the Debian distributions (if
+a real directory like <samp>unstable</samp> suddenly changed its name to
+<samp>stable</samp>, a lot of stuff would have to be needlessly downloaded
+again).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Currently, <samp>stable</samp> is a symbolic link to <samp>etch</samp> (i.e.
+Debian GNU/Linux 4.0) and <samp>testing</samp> is a symbolic link to
+<samp>lenny</samp>. This means that <samp>etch</samp> is the current stable
+distribution and <samp>lenny</samp> is the current testing distribution.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<samp>unstable</samp> is a permanent symbolic link to <samp>sid</samp>, as
+<samp>sid</samp> is always the unstable distribution (see <a href="#s-sid">What
+about &quot;sid&quot;?, Section 6.3</a>).
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-oldcodenames"></a>6.2.1 Which other codenames have been used in the past?</h3>
+
+<p>
+Other codenames that have been already used are: <samp>buzz</samp> for release
+1.1, <samp>rex</samp> for release 1.2, <samp>bo</samp> for releases 1.3.x,
+<samp>hamm</samp> for release 2.0, <samp>slink</samp> for release 2.1,
+<samp>potato</samp> for release 2.2, <samp>woody</samp> for release 3.0,
+<samp>sarge</samp> for release 3.1, and <samp>etch</samp> for release 4.0.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-sourceforcodenames"></a>6.2.2 Where do these codenames come from?</h3>
+
+<p>
+So far they have been characters taken from the movie &quot;Toy Story&quot; by
+Pixar.
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<em>buzz</em> (Buzz Lightyear) was the spaceman,

+<h2><a name="s-sid"></a>6.3 What about &quot;sid&quot;?</h2>
+
+<p>
+<em>sid</em> or <em>unstable</em> is the place where most of the packages are
+initially uploaded. It will never be released directly, because packages which
+are to be released will first have to be included in <em>testing</em>, in order
+to be released in <em>stable</em> later on. sid contains packages for both
+released and unreleased architectures.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The name &quot;sid&quot; also comes from the &quot;Toy Story&quot; animated
+motion picture: Sid was the boy next door who destroyed toys :-)

+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-stable"></a>6.4 What does the stable directory contain?</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+stable/main/: This directory contains the packages which formally constitute
+the most recent release of the Debian GNU/Linux system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+These packages all comply with the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines">Debian Free Software
+Guidelines</a></code>, and are all freely usable and distributable.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+stable/non-free/: This directory contains packages distribution of which is
+restricted in a way that requires that distributors take careful account of the
+specified copyright requirements.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, some packages have licenses which prohibit commercial
+distribution. Others can be redistributed but are in fact shareware and not
+free software. The licenses of each of these packages must be studied, and
+possibly negotiated, before the packages are included in any redistribution
+(e.g., in a CD-ROM).
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+stable/contrib/: This directory contains packages which are DFSG-free and
+<em>freely distributable</em> themselves, but somehow depend on a package that
+is <em>not</em> freely distributable and thus available only in the non-free
+section.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-testing"></a>6.5 What does the testing distribution contain?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Packages are installed into the `testing' directory after they have undergone
+some degree of testing in <a href="#s-unstable">unstable</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+They must be in sync on all architectures where they have been built and
+mustn't have dependencies that make them uninstallable; they also have to have
+fewer release-critical bugs than the versions currently in testing. This way,
+we hope that `testing' is always close to being a release candidate.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+More information about the status of &quot;testing&quot; in general and the
+individual packages is available at <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/devel/testing">http://www.debian.org/devel/testing</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-frozen"></a>6.5.1 What about &quot;testing&quot;? How is it `frozen'?</h3>
+
+<p>
+When the &quot;testing&quot; distribution is mature enough, the release manager
+starts `freezing' it. The normal propagation delays are increased to ensure
+that as little as possible new bugs from &quot;unstable&quot; enter
+&quot;testing&quot;.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+After a while, the &quot;testing&quot; distribution becomes truly `frozen'.
+This means that all new packages that are to propagate to the
+&quot;testing&quot; are held back, unless they include release-critical bug
+fixes. The &quot;testing&quot; distribution can also remain in such a deep
+freeze during the so-called `test cycles', when the release is imminent.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+We keep a record of bugs in the &quot;testing&quot; distribution that can hold
+off a package from being released, or bugs that can hold back the whole
+release. For details, please see <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/">current testing release
+information</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Once that bug count lowers to maximum acceptable values, the frozen
+&quot;testing&quot; distribution is declared &quot;stable&quot; and released
+with a version number.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+With each new release, the previous &quot;stable&quot; distribution becomes
+obsolete and moves to the archive. For more information please see <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/distrib/archive">Debian archive</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-unstable"></a>6.6 What does the unstable distribution contain?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The `unstable' directory contains a snapshot of the current development system.
+Users are welcome to use and test these packages, but are warned about their
+state of readiness. The advantage of using the unstable distribution is that
+you are always up-to-date with the latest in GNU/Linux software industry, but
+if it breaks: you get to keep both parts :-)
+</p>
+
+<p>
+There are also main, contrib and non-free subdirectories in `unstable',
+separated on the same criteria as in `stable'.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-dirtree"></a>6.7 What are all those directories at the Debian FTP archives?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The software that has been packaged for Debian GNU/Linux is available in one of
+several directory trees on each Debian mirror site.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <samp>dists</samp> directory is short for &quot;distributions&quot;, and it
+is the canonical way to access the currently available Debian releases (and
+pre-releases).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <samp>pool</samp> directory contains the actual packages, see <a
+href="#s-pools">What's in the <samp>pool</samp> directory?, Section 6.10</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+There are the following supplementary directories:
+</p>
+<dl>
+<dt><em>/tools/</em>:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+DOS utilities for creating boot disks, partitioning your disk drive,
+compressing/decompressing files, and booting Linux.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><em>/doc/</em>:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+The basic Debian documentation, such as this FAQ, the bug reporting system
+instructions, etc.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><em>/indices/</em>:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+various indices of the site (the Maintainers file and the override files).
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><em>/project/</em>:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+mostly developer-only materials and some miscellaneous files.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-archsections"></a>6.8 What are all those directories inside <samp>dists/stable/main</samp>?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Within each of the major directory trees[<a href="footnotes.en.html#f3"
+name="fr3">3</a>], there are three sets of subdirectories containing index
+files.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+There's one set of <samp>binary-<var>something</var></samp> subdirectories
+which contain index files for binary packages of each available computer
+architecture, for example <samp>binary-i386</samp> for packages which execute
+on Intel x86 PC machines or <samp>binary-sparc</samp> for packages which
+execute on Sun SPARCStations.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The complete list of available architectures for each release is available at
+<code><a href="http://www.debian.org/releases/">the release's web
+page</a></code>. For the current release, please see <a
+href="ch-compat.en.html#s-arches">On what hardware architectures/systems does
+Debian GNU/Linux run?, Section 4.1</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The index files in binary-* are called Packages(.gz, .bz2) and they include a
+summary of each binary package that is included in that distribution. The
+actual binary packages reside in the top level <a
+href="#s-pools"><samp>pool</samp> directory</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Furthermore, there's a subdirectory called source/ which contains index files
+for source packages included in the distribution. The index file is called
+Sources(.gz, .bz2).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Last but not least, there's a set of subdirectories meant for the installation
+system index files, they are at
+<samp>debian-installer/binary-<var>architecture</var></samp>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-source"></a>6.9 Where is the source code?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Source code is included for everything in the Debian system. Moreover, the
+license terms of most programs in the system <em>require</em> that source code
+be distributed along with the programs, or that an offer to provide the source
+code accompany the programs.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The source code is distributed in the <samp>pool</samp> directory (see <a
+href="#s-pools">What's in the <samp>pool</samp> directory?, Section 6.10</a>)
+together with all the architecture-specific binary directories. To retrieve
+the source code without having to be familiar with the structure of the FTP
+archive, try a command like <samp>apt-get source mypackagename</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Some packages are only distributed as source code due to the restrictions in
+their licenses. Notably, one such package is <samp>pine</samp>, see <a
+href="ch-software.en.html#s-pine">Where is pine?, Section 5.10</a> for more
+information.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Source code may or may not be available for packages in the &quot;contrib&quot;
+and &quot;non-free&quot; directories, which are not formally part of the Debian
+system.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-pools"></a>6.10 What's in the <samp>pool</samp> directory?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Packages are kept in a large `pool', structured according to the name of the
+source package. To make this manageable, the pool is subdivided by section
+(`main', `contrib' and `non-free') and by the first letter of the source
+package name. These directories contain several files: the binary packages for
+each architecture, and the source packages from which the binary packages were
+generated.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You can find out where each package is placed by executing a command like
+<samp>apt-cache showsrc mypackagename</samp> and looking at the `Directory:'
+line. For example, the <samp>apache</samp> packages are stored in
+<samp>pool/main/a/apache/</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Additionally, since there are so many <samp>lib*</samp> packages, these are
+treated specially: for instance, libpaper packages are stored in
+<samp>pool/main/libp/libpaper/</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+[<a href="footnotes.en.html#f4" name="fr4">4</a>]
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-incoming"></a>6.11 What is &quot;incoming&quot;?</h2>
+
+<p>
+After a developer uploads a package, it stays for a short while in the
+&quot;incoming&quot; directory before it is checked that it's genuine and
+allowed into the archive.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Usually nobody should install things from this place. However, in some rare
+cases of emergency, the incoming directory is available at <code><a
+href="http://incoming.debian.org/">http://incoming.debian.org/</a></code>. You
+can manually fetch packages, check the GPG signature and MD5sums in the
+.changes and .dsc files, and then install them.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-ownrepository"></a>6.12 How do I set up my own apt-able repository?</h2>
+
+<p>
+If you have built some private Debian packages which you'd like to install
+using the standard Debian package management tools, you can set up your own
+apt-able package archive. This is also useful if you'd like to share your
+Debian packages while these are not distributed by the Debian project.
+Instructions on how to do this are given in the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/repository-howto/repository-howto">Debian
+Repository HOWTO</a></code>.

+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 2 - Getting and installing Debian GNU/Linux
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<p>
+The official document giving installation instructions is the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual">Debian GNU/Linux
+Installation Guide</a></code>. We'll give some additional notes about getting
+and installing Debian GNU/Linux here.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-version"></a>2.1 What is the latest version of Debian?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Currently there are three versions of Debian GNU/Linux:
+</p>
+<dl>
+<dt><em>release 4.0, a.k.a. the `stable' distribution or etch</em></dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+This is stable and well tested software, it changes if major security or
+usability fixes are incorporated.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><em>the `testing' distribution, currently called lenny</em></dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+This is where packages that will be released as the next `stable' are placed;
+they've had some testing in unstable but they may not be completely fit for
+release yet. This distribution is updated more often than `stable', but not
+more often than `unstable'.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><em>the `unstable' distribution</em></dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+This is the version currently under development; it is updated continuously.
+You can retrieve packages from the `unstable' archive on any Debian FTP site
+and use them to upgrade your system at any time, but you may not expect the
+system to be as usable or as stable as before - that's why it's called
+`<strong>unstable</strong>'!
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>
+Please see <a href="ch-ftparchives.en.html#s-dists">How many Debian
+distributions are there?, Section 6.1</a> for more information.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-updatestable"></a>2.2 Are there package upgrades in `stable'?</h2>
+
+<p>
+No new functionality is added to the stable release. Once a Debian version is
+released and tagged `stable' it will only get security updates. That is, only
+packages for which a security vulnerability has been found after the release
+will be upgraded. All the security updates are served through <code><a
+href="ftp://security.debian.org">security.debian.org</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Security updates serve one purpose: to supply a fix for a security
+vulnerability. They are not a method for sneaking additional changes into the
+stable release without going through normal point release procedure.
+Consequently, fixes for packages with security issues will not upgrade the
+software. The Debian Security Team will backport the necessary fixes to the
+version of the software distributed in `stable' instead.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For more information related to security support please read the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/security/faq">Security FAQ</a></code> or the
+<code><a href="http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/">Debian
+Security Manual</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-boot-floppies"></a>2.3 Where/how can I get the Debian installation disks?</h2>
+
+<p>
+You can get the installation disks by downloading the appropriate files from
+one of the <code><a href="http://www.debian.org/mirror/list">Debian
+mirrors</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Please refer to <code><a href="http://www.debian.org/CD">Debian GNU/Linux on
+CDs</a></code> for more information about CD (and DVD) images.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-cdrom"></a>2.4 How do I install the Debian from CD-ROMs?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Installing Debian from CD is straightforward: configure your system for booting
+off a CD, insert your CD, and reboot. Your system will now be running the
+Debian Installer. See the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual">Debian GNU/Linux
+Installation Guide</a></code> for more information.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-cdimage-symlinks"></a>2.5 Why does the official stable released CD-ROM contain symlinks for `frozen' and `unstable'? I thought this CD contains just `stable'!</h2>
+
+<p>
+Official Debian CD images indeed contain symlinks like:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ /dists/frozen -&gt; etch/
+ /dists/stable -&gt; etch/
+ /dists/testing -&gt; etch/
+ /dists/unstable -&gt; etch/
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+so that they work when your sources.list has an entry like
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ deb cdrom:[&lt;name as on cd label&gt;]/ unstable main [...]
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The fact these symlinks are present does <em>not</em> mean the image is
+`unstable' or `testing' or anything. Read the CD label in
+<code>/.disk/info</code> to find out which Debian version it contains. This
+information is also present in <code>/README.txt</code> on the CD.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Read <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/releases/">http://www.debian.org/releases/</a></code>
+to find out what the current `stable' and `testing' releases are.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-remoteinstall"></a>2.6 Can I get and install Debian directly from a remote Internet site?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Yes. You can boot the Debian installation system from a set of files you can
+download from our FTP site and its mirrors.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You can download a small CD image file, create a bootable CD from it, install
+the basic system from it and the rest over the network. For more information
+please see <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/">http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You can also download even smaller floppy disk image files, create bootable
+diskettes from them, start the installation procedure and get the rest of
+Debian over the network.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-alternativebootinstaller"></a>2.7 Are there any alternative strategies for booting the system installer?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Yes. Apart from CD or DVD, you can install Debian GNU/Linux by booting from
+floppy disks, USB memory stick, directly from hard disk, or using TFTP net
+booting. For installing on multiple computers it's possible to do fully
+automatic installations. NB: not all methods are supported by all computer
+architectures. Once the installer has booted, the rest of the system can be
+downloaded over the network, or installed from local media. See the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual">Debian GNU/Linux
+Installation Guide</a></code> for more information.

+<h2><a name="s-non-debian-kernel"></a>10.1 Can I install and compile a kernel without some Debian-specific tweaking?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Yes.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+There's only one common catch: the Debian C libraries are built with the most
+recent <em>stable</em> releases of the <strong>kernel</strong> headers. If you
+happen to need to compile a program with kernel headers newer than the ones
+from the stable branch, then you should either upgrade the package containing
+the headers (<code>libc6-dev</code>), or use the new headers from an unpacked
+tree of the newer kernel. That is, if the kernel sources are in
+<code>/usr/src/linux</code>, then you should add
+<samp>-I/usr/src/linux/include/</samp> to your command line when compiling.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-customkernel"></a>10.2 What tools does Debian provide to build custom kernels?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Users who wish to (or must) build a custom kernel are encouraged to download
+the package <code>kernel-package</code>. This package contains the script to
+build the kernel package, and provides the capability to create a Debian
+<code>linux-image-<var>version</var></code> package just by running the command
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+in the top-level kernel source directory. Help is available by executing the
+command
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ make-kpkg --help
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+and through the manual page <code>make-kpkg(1)</code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Users must separately download the source code for the most recent kernel (or
+the kernel of their choice) from their favorite Linux archive site, unless a
+<code>linux-source-<var>version</var></code> package is available (where
+<var>version</var> stands for the kernel version).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Detailed instructions for using the <code>kernel-package</code> package are
+given in the file <code>/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz</code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-custombootdisk"></a>10.3 How can I make a custom boot floppy?</h2>
+
+<p>
+This task is greatly aided by the Debian package <code>boot-floppies</code>,
+normally found in the <samp>admin</samp> section of the Debian FTP archive.
+Shell scripts in this package produce boot floppies in the
+<samp>SYSLINUX</samp> format. These are <samp>MS-DOS</samp> formatted floppies
+whose master boot records have been altered so that they boot Linux directly
+(or whatever other operating system has been defined in the
+<code>syslinux.cfg</code> file on the floppy). Other scripts in this package
+produce emergency root disks and can even reproduce the base disks.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You will find more information about this in the
+<code>/usr/share/doc/boot-floppies/README</code> file after installing the
+<code>boot-floppies</code> package.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-modules"></a>10.4 What special provisions does Debian provide to deal with modules?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian's <code>modconf</code> package provides a shell script
+(<code>/usr/sbin/modconf</code>) which can be used to customize the
+configuration of modules. This script presents a menu-based interface,
+prompting the user for particulars on the loadable device drivers in his
+system. The responses are used to customize the file
+<code>/etc/modules.conf</code> (which lists aliases, and other arguments that
+must be used in conjunction with various modules) through files in
+<code>/etc/modutils/</code>, and <code>/etc/modules</code> (which lists the
+modules that must be loaded at boot time).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Like the (new) <code>Configure.help</code> files that are now available to
+support the construction of custom kernels, the <code>modconf</code> package
+comes with a series of help files (in <code>/usr/lib/modules_help/</code>)
+which provide detailed information on appropriate arguments for each of the
+modules.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-removeoldkernel"></a>10.5 Can I safely de-install an old kernel package, and if so, how?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Yes. The <code>linux-image-<var>NNN</var>.prerm</code> script checks to see
+whether the kernel you are currently running is the same as the kernel you are
+trying to de-install. Therefore you can remove unwanted kernel image packages
+using this command:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --purge linux-image-<var>NNN</var>
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+(replace <var>NNN</var> with your kernel version and revision number, of
+course)
+</p>

+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 15 - Changes expected in the next major release of Debian
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-i18n"></a>15.1 Extended support for non-English users</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian already has very good support for non-English users, see <a
+href="ch-software.en.html#s-nonenglish">How does Debian support non-English
+languages?, Section 5.9</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+We hope to find people who will provide support for even more languages, and
+translate. Some programs already support internationalization, so we need
+message catalogs translators. Many programs still remain to be properly
+internationalized.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The GNU Translation Project <code><a
+href="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ABOUT-NLS">ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ABOUT-NLS</a></code>
+works on internationalizing the GNU programs.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Specifically for Debian lenny, we're working on things like the following:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+I18n support in all debconf-using packages: Packages using the Debian
+configuration management must allow for translation of all messages displayed
+to the user during package configuration.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+I18n support for package descriptions: Update package management frontends to
+use the translated descriptions of packages.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+UTF-8 debian/changelog and debian/control. This way, e.g. names of people
+from asian countries can get typeset the right way in changelogs.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-dependencybasedboot"></a>15.2 Faster booting: Dependency based boot sequence</h2>
+
+<p>
+Work is being done on <code><a
+href="http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot">converting the
+Debian boot sequence</a></code> to use dynamic and dependency based ordering
+instead of hardcoded sequence numbers. Once that's finished, Debian systems
+will boot much faster.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-di"></a>15.3 Improvements in the Debian Installer</h2>
+
+<p>
+Lots of work has been done on the Debian Installer, resulting in major
+improvements. We'll mention just two of them here.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Starting the installer from Microsoft Windows: It is now possible to start the
+installer directly from Microsoft Windows without the need to change BIOS
+settings. Upon insertion of a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM or USB stick, an autorun program
+will be started, offering a step-by-step process to start the Debian Installer.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The debian-installer now includes experimental support for installing Debian on
+systems with Serial ATA RAID.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-morearches"></a>15.4 More architectures</h2>
+
+<p>
+Complete Debian system on other architectures such as <code><a
+href="http://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort">ARM EABI</a></code> (referred to as
+&quot;armel&quot;) (next to the old &quot;arm&quot;) will likely get supported
+with lenny. Support for <code><a
+href="http://wiki.debian.org/SHPort">SuperH</a></code> is expected soon.
+Notice that even though some architectures are dropped for a given the release
+there still might be a way to install and upgrade using the latest
+<samp>sid</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-morekernels"></a>15.5 More kernels</h2>
+
+<p>
+In addition to Debian GNU/Hurd, Debian is being ported also to BSD kernels,
+namely to <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu/">FreeBSD</a></code>. This port
+runs on both AMD64 (&quot;kfreebsd-amd64&quot;) and traditional Intel
+(&quot;kfreebsd-i386&quot;).

+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 7 - Basics of the Debian package management system
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<p>
+This chapter touches on some lower level internals of Debian package
+management. If you're interested mainly in <em>usage</em> of the relevant
+tools, skip to chapters <a href="ch-pkgtools.en.html">The Debian package
+management tools, Chapter 8</a> and/or <a href="ch-uptodate.en.html">Keeping
+your Debian system up-to-date, Chapter 9</a>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-package"></a>7.1 What is a Debian package?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Packages generally contain all of the files necessary to implement a set of
+related commands or features. There are two types of Debian packages:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<em>Binary packages</em>, which contain executables, configuration files,
+man/info pages, copyright information, and other documentation. These packages
+are distributed in a Debian-specific archive format (see <a
+href="#s-deb-format">What is the format of a Debian binary package?, Section
+7.2</a>); they are usually distinguished by having a '.deb' file extension.
+Binary packages can be unpacked using the Debian utility <samp>dpkg</samp>
+(possibly via a frontend like <code>aptitude</code>); details are given in its
+manual page.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<em>Source packages</em>, which consist of a <samp>.dsc</samp> file describing
+the source package (including the names of the following files), a
+<samp>.orig.tar.gz</samp> file that contains the original unmodified source in
+gzip-compressed tar format and usually a <samp>.diff.gz</samp> file that
+contains the Debian-specific changes to the original source. The utility
+<samp>dpkg-source</samp> packs and unpacks Debian source archives; details are
+provided in its manual page. (The program <code>apt-get</code> can get used a
+frontend for <samp>dpkg-source</samp>.)
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Installation of software by the package system uses &quot;dependencies&quot;
+which are carefully designed by the package maintainers. These dependencies
+are documented in the <samp>control</samp> file associated with each package.
+For example, the package containing the GNU C compiler (<code>gcc</code>)
+&quot;depends&quot; on the package <code>binutils</code> which includes the
+linker and assembler. If a user attempts to install <code>gcc</code> without
+having first installed <code>binutils</code>, the package management system
+(dpkg) will send an error message that it also needs <code>binutils</code>, and
+stop installing <code>gcc</code>. (However, this facility can be overridden by
+the insistent user, see <code>dpkg(8)</code>.) See more in <a
+href="#s-depends">What is meant by saying that a package <em>Depends</em>,
+<em>Recommends</em>, <em>Suggests</em>, <em>Conflicts</em>, <em>Replaces</em>
+or <em>Provides</em> another package?, Section 7.9</a> below.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian's packaging tools can be used to:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+manipulate and manage packages or parts of packages,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+administer local overrides of files in a package,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+aid developers in the construction of package archives, and
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+aid users in the installation of packages which reside on a remote FTP site.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+

+
+<h2><a name="s-deb-format"></a>7.2 What is the format of a Debian binary package?</h2>
+
+<p>
+A Debian &quot;package&quot;, or a Debian archive file, contains the executable
+files, libraries, and documentation associated with a particular suite of
+program or set of related programs. Normally, a Debian archive file has a
+filename that ends in <samp>.deb</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The internals of this Debian binary packages format are described in the
+<code>deb(5)</code> manual page. This internal format is subject to change
+(between major releases of Debian GNU/Linux), therefore please always use
+<code>dpkg-deb(1)</code> if you need to do lowlevel manipulations on
+<samp>.deb</samp> files.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-pkgname"></a>7.3 Why are Debian package file names so long?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The Debian binary package file names conform to the following convention:
+&lt;foo&gt;_&lt;VersionNumber&gt;-&lt;DebianRevisionNumber&gt;_&lt;DebianArchitecture&gt;.deb
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Note that <samp>foo</samp> is supposed to be the package name. As a check, one
+can learn the package name associated with a particular Debian archive file
+(.deb file) in one of these ways:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+inspect the &quot;Packages&quot; file in the directory where it was stored at a
+Debian FTP archive site. This file contains a stanza describing each package;
+the first field in each stanza is the formal package name.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+use the command <samp>dpkg --info foo_VVV-RRR_AAA.deb</samp> (where VVV, RRR
+and AAA are the version, revision and architecture of the package in question,
+respectively). This displays, among other things, the package name
+corresponding to the archive file being unpacked.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+The <samp>VVV</samp> component is the version number specified by the upstream
+developer. There are no standards in place here, so the version number may
+have formats as different as &quot;19990513&quot; and &quot;1.3.8pre1&quot;.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <samp>RRR</samp> component is the Debian revision number, and is specified
+by the Debian developer (or an individual user if he chooses to build the
+package himself). This number corresponds to the revision level of the Debian
+package, thus, a new revision level usually signifies changes in the Debian
+Makefile (<samp>debian/rules</samp>), the Debian control file
+(<samp>debian/control</samp>), the installation or removal scripts
+(<samp>debian/p*</samp>), or in the configuration files used with the package.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <samp>AAA</samp> component identifies the processor for which the package
+was built. This is commonly <samp>i386</samp>, which refers to chips
+compatible to Intel's 386 or later versions. For other possibilities review
+Debian's FTP directory structure at <a
+href="ch-ftparchives.en.html#s-dirtree">What are all those directories at the
+Debian FTP archives?, Section 6.7</a>. For details, see the description of
+&quot;Debian architecture&quot; in the manual page
+<code>dpkg-architecture(1)</code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-controlfile"></a>7.4 What is a Debian control file?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Specifics regarding the contents of a Debian control file are provided in the
+Debian Policy Manual, section 5, see <a
+href="ch-support.en.html#s-debiandocs">What other documentation exists on and
+for a Debian system?, Section 12.1</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Briefly, a sample control file is shown below for the Debian package hello:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ Package: hello
+ Priority: optional
+ Section: devel
+ Installed-Size: 45
+ Maintainer: Adam Heath &lt;doogie@debian.org&gt;
+ Architecture: i386
+ Version: 1.3-16
+ Depends: libc6 (&gt;= 2.1)
+ Description: The classic greeting, and a good example
+ The GNU hello program produces a familiar, friendly greeting. It
+ allows nonprogrammers to use a classic computer science tool which
+ would otherwise be unavailable to them.
+ .
+ Seriously, though: this is an example of how to do a Debian package.
+ It is the Debian version of the GNU Project's `hello world' program
+ (which is itself an example for the GNU Project).
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+The Package field gives the package name. This is the name by which the
+package can be manipulated by the package tools, and usually similar to but not
+necessarily the same as the first component string in the Debian archive file
+name.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Version field gives both the upstream developer's version number and (in
+the last component) the revision level of the Debian package of this program as
+explained in <a href="#s-pkgname">Why are Debian package file names so long?,
+Section 7.3</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Architecture field specifies the chip for which this particular binary was
+compiled.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Depends field gives a list of packages that have to be installed in order
+to install this package successfully.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Installed-Size indicates how much disk space the installed package will
+consume. This is intended to be used by installation front-ends in order to
+show whether there is enough disk space available to install the program.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Section line gives the &quot;section&quot; where this Debian package is
+stored at the Debian FTP sites.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Priority indicates how important is this package for installation, so that
+semi-intelligent software like dselect or aptitude can sort the package into a
+category of e.g. packages optionally installed. See <a
+href="#s-priority">What is an <em>Essential</em>, <em>Required</em>,
+<em>Important</em>, <em>Standard</em>, <em>Optional</em>, or <em>Extra</em>
+package?, Section 7.7</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Maintainer field gives the e-mail address of the person who is currently
+responsible for maintaining this package.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Description field gives a brief summary of the package's features.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For more information about all possible fields a package can have, please see
+the Debian Policy Manual, section 5., &quot;Control files and their
+fields&quot;.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-conffile"></a>7.5 What is a Debian conffile?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Conffiles is a list of configuration files (usually placed in
+<samp>/etc</samp>) that the package management system will not overwrite when
+the package is upgraded. This ensures that local values for the contents of
+these files will be preserved, and is a critical feature enabling the in-place
+upgrade of packages on a running system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To determine exactly which files are preserved during an upgrade, run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --status package
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+And look under &quot;Conffiles:&quot;.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-maintscripts"></a>7.6 What is a Debian preinst, postinst, prerm, and postrm script?</h2>
+
+<p>
+These files are executable scripts which are automatically run before or after
+a package is installed. Along with a file named <samp>control</samp>, all of
+these files are part of the &quot;control&quot; section of a Debian archive
+file.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The individual files are:
+</p>
+<dl>
+<dt>preinst</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+This script executes before that package will be unpacked from its Debian
+archive (&quot;.deb&quot;) file. Many 'preinst' scripts stop services for
+packages which are being upgraded until their installation or upgrade is
+completed (following the successful execution of the 'postinst' script).
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>postinst</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+This script typically completes any required configuration of the package
+<samp>foo</samp> once <samp>foo</samp> has been unpacked from its Debian
+archive (&quot;.deb&quot;) file. Often, 'postinst' scripts ask the user for
+input, and/or warn the user that if he accepts default values, he should
+remember to go back and re-configure that package as the situation warrants.
+Many 'postinst' scripts then execute any commands necessary to start or restart
+a service once a new package has been installed or upgraded.

+Currently all of the control files can be found in directory

+of &quot;preinst&quot;, &quot;postinst&quot;, etc., as appropriate. The file
+<samp>foo.list</samp> in that directory lists all of the files that were
+installed with the package <samp>foo</samp>. (Note that the location of these
+files is a dpkg internal; you should not rely on it.)

+<h2><a name="s-priority"></a>7.7 What is an <em>Essential</em>, <em>Required</em>, <em>Important</em>, <em>Standard</em>, <em>Optional</em>, or <em>Extra</em> package?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Each Debian package is assigned a <em>priority</em> by the distribution
+maintainers, as an aid to the package management system. The priorities are:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>Required</strong>: packages that are necessary for the proper
+functioning of the system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This includes all tools that are necessary to repair system defects. You must
+not remove these packages or your system may become totally broken and you may
+probably not even be able to use dpkg to put things back. Systems with only
+the Required packages are probably unusable, but they do have enough
+functionality to allow the sysadmin to boot and install more software.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>Important</strong> packages should be found on any Unix-like system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Other packages which the system will not run well or be usable without will be
+here. This does <em>NOT</em> include Emacs or X or TeX or any other large
+applications. These packages only constitute the bare infrastructure.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>Standard</strong> packages are standard on any Linux system, including
+a reasonably small but not too limited character-mode system. Tools are
+included to be able to browse the web (using w3m), send e-mail (with mutt) and
+download files from FTP servers.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This is what will install by default if users do not select anything else. It
+does not include many large applications, but it does include the Python
+interpreter and some server software like OpenSSH (for remote administration),
+Exim (for mail delivery, although it can be configured for local delivery
+only), an identd server (pidentd) and the RPC portmapper
+(<samp>portmap</samp>). It also includes some common generic documentation
+that most users will find helpful.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>Optional</strong> packages include all those that you might reasonably
+want to install if you did not know what it was, or do not have specialized
+requirements.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This includes X, a full TeX distribution, and lots of applications.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>Extra</strong>: packages that either conflict with others with higher
+priorities, are only likely to be useful if you already know what they are, or
+have specialized requirements that make them unsuitable for
+&quot;Optional&quot;.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+If you do a default Debian installation all the packages of priority
+<strong>Standard</strong> or higher will be installed in your system. If you
+select pre-defined tasks you will get lower priority packages too.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Additionally, some packages are marked as <strong>Essential</strong> since they
+are absolutely necessary for the proper functioning of the system. The package
+management tools will refuse to remove these.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-virtual"></a>7.8 What is a Virtual Package?</h2>
+
+<p>
+A virtual package is a generic name that applies to any one of a group of
+packages, all of which provide similar basic functionality. For example, both
+the <samp>tin</samp> and <samp>trn</samp> programs are news readers, and should
+therefore satisfy any dependency of a program that required a news reader on a
+system, in order to work or to be useful. They are therefore both said to
+provide the &quot;virtual package&quot; called <samp>news-reader</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Similarly, <samp>smail</samp> and <samp>sendmail</samp> both provide the
+functionality of a mail transport agent. They are therefore said to provide
+the virtual package, &quot;mail transport agent&quot;. If either one is
+installed, then any program depending on the installation of a
+<samp>mail-transport-agent</samp> will be satisfied by the existence of this
+virtual package.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian provides a mechanism so that, if more than one package which provide the
+same virtual package is installed on a system, then system administrators can
+set one as the preferred package. The relevant command is
+<samp>update-alternatives</samp>, and is described further in <a
+href="ch-customizing.en.html#s-diverse">Some users like mawk, others like gawk;
+some like vim, others like elvis; some like trn, others like tin; how does
+Debian support diversity?, Section 11.10</a>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-depends"></a>7.9 What is meant by saying that a package <em>Depends</em>, <em>Recommends</em>, <em>Suggests</em>, <em>Conflicts</em>, <em>Replaces</em> or <em>Provides</em> another package?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The Debian package system has a range of package &quot;dependencies&quot; which
+are designed to indicate (in a single flag) the level at which Program A can
+operate independently of the existence of Program B on a given system:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Package A <em>depends</em> on Package B if B absolutely must be installed in
+order to run A. In some cases, A depends not only on B, but on a version of B.
+In this case, the version dependency is usually a lower limit, in the sense
+that A depends on any version of B more recent than some specified version.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Package A <em>recommends</em> Package B, if the package maintainer judges that
+most users would not want A without also having the functionality provided by
+B.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Package A <em>suggests</em> Package B if B contains files that are related to
+(and usually enhance) the functionality of A.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Package A <em>conflicts</em> with Package B when A will not operate if B is
+installed on the system. Most often, conflicts are cases where A contains
+files which are an improvement over those in B. &quot;Conflicts&quot; are
+often combined with &quot;replaces&quot;.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Package A <em>replaces</em> Package B when files installed by B are removed and
+(in some cases) over-written by files in A.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Package A <em>provides</em> Package B when all of the files and functionality
+of B are incorporated into A. This mechanism provides a way for users with
+constrained disk space to get only that part of package A which they really
+need.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+More detailed information on the use of each these terms can be found in the
+Policy manual.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-pre-depends"></a>7.10 What is meant by Pre-Depends?</h2>
+
+<p>
+&quot;Pre-Depends&quot; is a special dependency. In the case of most packages,
+<samp>dpkg</samp> will unpack its archive file (i.e., its <samp>.deb</samp>
+file) independently of whether or not the files on which it depends exist on
+the system. Simplistically, unpacking means that <samp>dpkg</samp> will
+extract the files from the archive file that were meant to be installed on your
+file system, and put them in place. If those packages <em>depend</em> on the
+existence of some other packages on your system, <samp>dpkg</samp> will refuse
+to complete the installation (by executing its &quot;configure&quot; action)
+until the other packages are installed.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+However, for some packages, <samp>dpkg</samp> will refuse even to unpack them
+until certain dependencies are resolved. Such packages are said to
+&quot;Pre-depend&quot; on the presence of some other packages. The Debian
+project provided this mechanism to support the safe upgrading of systems from
+<samp>a.out</samp> format to <samp>ELF</samp> format, where the <em>order</em>
+in which packages were unpacked was critical. There are other large upgrade
+situations where this method is useful, e.g. the packages with the required
+priority and their LibC dependency.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+As before, more detailed information about this can be found in the Policy
+manual.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-pkgstatus"></a>7.11 What is meant by <em>unknown</em>, <em>install</em>, <em>remove</em>, <em>purge</em> and <em>hold</em> in the package status?</h2>
+
+<p>
+These &quot;want&quot; flags tell what the user wanted to do with a package (as
+indicated either by the user's actions in the &quot;Select&quot; section of
+<samp>dselect</samp>, or by the user's direct invocations of
+<samp>dpkg</samp>).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Their meanings are:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+unknown - the user has never indicated whether he wants the package
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+install - the user wants the package installed or upgraded
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+remove - the user wants the package removed, but does not want to remove any
+existing configuration files.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+purge - the user wants the package to be removed completely, including its
+configuration files.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+hold - the user wants this package not to be processed, i.e., he wants to keep
+the current version with the current status whatever that is.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-puttingonhold"></a>7.12 How do I put a package on hold?</h2>
+
+<p>
+There are three ways of holding back packages, with dpkg, aptitude or with
+dselect.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+With dpkg, you have to export the list of package selections, with:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --get-selections \* &gt; selections.txt
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Then edit the resulting file <code>selections.txt</code>, change the line
+containing the package you wish to hold, e.g. <code>libc6</code>, from this:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ libc6 install
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+to this:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ libc6 hold
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Save the file, and reload it into dpkg database with:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --set-selections &lt; selections.txt
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+With aptitude, you can hold a package using
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ aptitude hold package_name
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+and remove the hold with
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ aptitude unhold package_name
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+With dselect, you have to enter the [S]elect screen, find the package you wish
+to hold in its present state, and press the `=' key (or `H'). The changes will
+go live immediately after you exit the [S]elect screen.
+</p>

+
+<h2><a name="s-sourcepkgs"></a>7.13 How do I install a source package?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian source packages can't actually be &quot;installed&quot;, they are just
+unpacked in whatever directory you want to build the binary packages they
+produce.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Source packages are distributed on most of the same mirrors where you can
+obtain the binary packages. If you set up your APT's
+<code>sources.list(5)</code> to include the appropriate &quot;deb-src&quot;
+lines, you'll be able to easily download any source packages by running
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get source foo
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+To help you in actually building the source package, Debian source package
+provide the so-called build-dependencies mechanism. This means that the source
+package maintainer keeps a list of other packages that are required to build
+their package. To see how this is useful, run
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get build-dep foo
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+before building the source.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-sourcebuild"></a>7.14 How do I build binary packages from a source package?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The preferred way to do this is by using various wrapper tools. We'll show how
+it's done using the <samp>devscripts</samp> tools. Install this package if you
+haven't done so already.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Now, first get the source package:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get source foo
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+and change to the source tree:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ cd foo-*
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Then install needed build-dependencies (if any):
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ sudo apt-get build-dep foo
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Then create a dedicated version of your own build (so that you won't get
+confused later when Debian itself releases a new version)
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dch -l local 'Blah blah blah'
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+And finally build your package
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ debuild -us -uc
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+If everything worked out fine, you should now be able to install your package
+by running
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ sudo dpkg -i ../*.deb
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+If you prefer to do things manually, and don't want to use
+<samp>devscripts</samp>, follow this procedure:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You will need all of foo_*.dsc, foo_*.tar.gz and foo_*.diff.gz to compile the
+source (note: there is no .diff.gz for some packages that are native to
+Debian).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Once you have them (<a href="#s-sourcepkgs">How do I install a source package?,
+Section 7.13</a>), if you have the <code>dpkg-dev</code> package installed, the
+following command:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg-source -x foo_version-revision.dsc
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+will extract the package into a directory called <samp>foo-version</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you want just to compile the package, you may cd into
+<samp>foo-version</samp> directory and issue the command
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+to build the package (note that this also requires the <code>fakeroot</code>
+package), and then
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg -i ../foo_version-revision_arch.deb
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+to install the newly-built package(s).

+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 8 - The Debian package management tools
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-pkgprogs"></a>8.1 What programs does Debian provide for managing its packages?</h2>
+
+<p>
+There are multiple tools that are used to manage Debian packages, from graphic
+or text-based interfaces to the low level tools used to install packages. All
+the available tools rely on the lower level tools to properly work and are
+presented here in decreasing complexity level.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It is important to understand that the higher level package management tools
+such as <code>aptitude</code> or <code>dselect</code> rely on <code>apt</code>
+which, itself, relies on <code>dpkg</code> to manage the packages in the
+system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+See the <code><a href="http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/">APT
+HOWTO</a></code> for more information about the Debian package management
+utilities. This document is available in various languages and formats, see
+<code><a href="http://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#apt-howto">the APT HOWTO
+entry on the DDP Users' Manuals overview</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-dpkg"></a>8.1.1 dpkg</h3>
+
+<p>
+This is the main package management program. <code>dpkg</code> can be invoked
+with many options. Some common uses are:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Find out all the options: <samp>dpkg --help</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Print out the control file (and other information) for a specified package:
+<samp>dpkg --info foo_VVV-RRR.deb</samp>
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Install a package (including unpacking and configuring) onto the file system of
+the hard disk: <samp>dpkg --install foo_VVV-RRR.deb</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Unpack (but do not configure) a Debian archive into the file system of the hard
+disk: <samp>dpkg --unpack foo_VVV-RRR.deb</samp>. Note that this operation
+does <em>not</em> necessarily leave the package in a usable state; some files
+may need further customization to run properly. This command removes any
+already-installed version of the program and runs the preinst (see <a
+href="ch-pkg_basics.en.html#s-maintscripts">What is a Debian preinst, postinst,
+prerm, and postrm script?, Section 7.6</a>) script associated with the package.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Configure a package that already has been unpacked: <samp>dpkg --configure
+foo</samp>. Among other things, this action runs the postinst (see <a
+href="ch-pkg_basics.en.html#s-maintscripts">What is a Debian preinst, postinst,
+prerm, and postrm script?, Section 7.6</a>) script associated with the package.
+It also updates the files listed in the <samp>conffiles</samp> for this
+package. Notice that the 'configure' operation takes as its argument a package
+name (e.g., foo), <em>not</em> the name of a Debian archive file (e.g.,
+foo_VVV-RRR.deb).
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Extract a single file named &quot;blurf&quot; (or a group of files named
+&quot;blurf*&quot; from a Debian archive: <samp>dpkg --fsys-tarfile
+foo_VVV-RRR.deb | tar -xf - blurf*</samp>
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Remove a package (but not its configuration files): <samp>dpkg --remove
+foo</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Remove a package (including its configuration files): <samp>dpkg --purge
+foo</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+List the installation status of packages containing the string (or regular
+expression) &quot;foo*&quot;: <samp>dpkg --list 'foo*'</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-apt-get"></a>8.1.2 APT</h3>
+
+<p>
+APT is the <em>Advanced Package Tool</em> and provides the <code>apt-get</code>
+program. <code>apt-get</code> provides a simple way to retrieve and install
+packages from multiple sources using the command line. Unlike
+<code>dpkg</code>, <code>apt-get</code> does not understand .deb files, it
+works with the packages proper name and can only install .deb archives from a
+source specified in <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code>. <code>apt-get</code>
+will call <code>dpkg</code> directly after downloading the .deb archives[<a
+href="footnotes.en.html#f5" name="fr5">5</a>] from the configured sources.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Some common ways to use <code>apt-get</code> are:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To update the list of package known by your system, you can run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get update
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+(you should execute this regularly to update your package lists)
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To upgrade all the packages on your system (without installing extra packages
+or removing packages), run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get upgrade
+</pre>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To install the <var>foo</var> package and all its dependencies, run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get install foo
+</pre>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To remove the foo package from your system, run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get remove foo
+</pre>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To remove the foo package and its configuration files from your system, run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get --purge remove foo
+</pre>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To upgrade all the packages on your system, and, if needed for a package
+upgrade, installing extra packages or removing packages, run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get dist-upgrade
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+(The command <samp>upgrade</samp> keeps a package at its installed obsolete
+version if upgrading would need an extra package to be installed, for a new
+dependency to be satisfied. The <samp>dist-upgrade</samp> command is less
+conservative.)
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Note that you must be logged in as root to perform any commands that modify the
+system packages.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The apt tool suite also includes the <code>apt-cache</code> tool to query the
+package lists. You can use it to find packages providing specific
+functionality through simple text or regular expression queries and through
+queries of dependencies in the package management system. Some common ways to
+use <code>apt-cache</code> are:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To find packages whose description contain <var>word</var>:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-cache search <var>word</var>
+</pre>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To print the detailed information of a package:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-cache show <var>package</var>
+</pre>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To print the packages a given package depends on:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-cache depends <var>package</var>
+</pre>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To print detailed information of the versions available for a package and the
+packages that reverse-depends on it:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-cache showpkg <var>package</var>
+</pre>
+</li>

+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> is a package manager for Debian GNU/Linux systems that
+provides a frontend to the apt package management infrastructure.
+<code>aptitude</code> is a text-based interface using the curses library, it
+can be used to perform management tasks in a fast and easy way.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> provides the functionality of <code>dselect</code> and
+<code>apt-get</code>, as well as many additional features not found in either
+program:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> offers access to all versions of a package.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> logs all its actions in <code>/var/log/aptitude</code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> makes it easy to keep track of obsolete software by
+listing it under &quot;Obsolete and Locally Created Packages&quot;.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> includes a fairly powerful system for searching
+particular packages and limiting the package display. Users familiar with
+<code>mutt</code> will pick up quickly, as <code>mutt</code> was the
+inspiration for the expression syntax.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> tracks which packages have been installed due to
+dependencies and removes them automatically when the packages that needed them
+are removed from the system.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> can automatically install <em>Recommended:</em>
+packages[<a href="footnotes.en.html#f6" name="fr6">6</a>].
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>

+<code>aptitude</code> in full screen mode has <code>su</code> functionality
+embedded and can be run by a normal user. It will call <code>su</code> (and
+ask for the root password, if any) when you really need administrative
+privileges
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+You can use <code>aptitude</code> through a visual interface (simply run
+<samp>aptitude</samp>) or directly from the command line. The command line
+syntax used is very similar to the one used in <code>apt-get</code>. For
+example, to install the <var>foo</var> package, you can run <samp>aptitude
+install <var>foo</var></samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Note that <code>aptitude</code> is the preferred program for package management
+from console both for package installations and package or system upgrades.

+
+<p>
+When you want to perform a specific task it might be difficult to find the

+defined <samp>tasks</samp>, a task is a collection of several individual Debian
+packages all related to a specific activity. Tasks can be installed through
+the <code>tasksel</code> program or through <code>aptitude</code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Debian installer will typically install automaticaly the task associated
+with a standard system and a desktop environment. The specific desktop
+environment installed will depend on the CD/DVD media used, most commonly it
+will be the GNOME desktop (<samp>gnome-desktop</samp> task). Also, depending
+on your selections throughout the installation process, tasks might be
+automatically installed in your system. For example, if you selected a
+language, the task associated with it will be installed automatically too and
+if you are running in a laptop system the installer recognises the
+<samp>laptop</samp> task will be installed too.

+<h3><a name="s-dpkg-extra"></a>8.1.6 Other package management tools</h3>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h4><a name="s-dselect"></a>8.1.6.1 dselect</h4>
+
+<p>
+This program is a menu-driven interface to the Debian package management
+system. For woody and earlier releases, this was the main package management
+interface for for first-time installations, but currently users are encouraged
+to use <code>aptitude</code> instead. Some users might feel more comfortable
+using <code>aptitude</code> and it is also recommended over
+<code>dselect</code> for large-scale upgrades. For more information on
+<code>aptitude</code> please see <a href="#s-aptitude">aptitude, Section
+8.1.3</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<code>dselect</code> can:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+guide the user as he/she chooses among packages to install or remove, ensuring
+that no packages are installed that conflict with one another, and that all
+packages required to make each package work properly are installed;
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+warn the user about inconsistencies or incompatibilities in their selections;
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+determine the order in which the packages must be installed;
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+automatically perform the installation or removal; and
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+guide the user through whatever configuration process are required for each
+package.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+<code>dselect</code> begins by presenting the user with a menu of 7 items, each
+of which is a specific action. The user can select one of the actions by using
+the arrow keys to move the highlighter bar, then pressing the
+<em>&lt;enter&gt;</em> key to select the highlighted action.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+What the user sees next depends on the action he selected. If he selects any
+option but <samp>Access</samp> or <samp>Select</samp>, then
+<code>dselect</code> will simply proceed to execute the specified action: e.g.,
+if the user selected the action <samp>Remove</samp>, then dselect would proceed
+to remove all of the files selected for removal when the user last chose the
+<samp>Select</samp> action.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Both the <samp>Access</samp> menu item and the <samp>Select</samp> menu item
+lead to additional menus. In both cases, the menus are presented as split
+screens; the top screen gives a scrollable list of choices, while the bottom
+screen gives a brief explanation (&quot;info&quot;) for each choice.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Extensive on-line help is available, use the '?' key to get to a help screen
+at any time.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The order in which the actions are presented in the first <code>dselect</code>
+menu represents the order in which a user would normally choose
+<code>dselect</code> to install packages. However, a user can pick any of the
+main menu choices as often as needed (including not at all, depending on what
+one wants to do).
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Begin by choosing an <strong>Access Method</strong>. This is the method by
+which the user plans on accessing Debian packages; e.g., some users have Debian
+packages available on CD-ROM, while others plan to fetch them using anonymous
+FTP. The selected &quot;Access Method&quot; is stored after
+<code>dselect</code> exits, so if it does not change, then this option need not
+be invoked again.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Then <strong>Update</strong> the list of available packages. To do this,
+<code>dselect</code> reads the file &quot;Packages.gz&quot; which should be
+included in the top level of the directory where the Debian packages to be
+installed are stored. (But if it is not there, <code>dselect</code> will offer
+to make it for you.)
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>Select</strong> specific packages for installation on his system.
+After choosing this menu item, the user is first presented with a full screen
+of help (unless the `--expert' command line option was used). Once the user
+exits the Help screen, he sees the split-screen menu for choosing packages to
+install (or remove).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The top part of the screen is a relatively narrow window into the list of
+Debian's 18200 packages; the bottom part of the screen contains description of
+the package or group of packages which are highlighted above.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+One can specify which packages should be operated on by highlighting a package
+name or the label for a group of packages. After that, you can select
+packages:
+</p>
+<dl>
+<dt>to be installed:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+This is accomplished by pressing the `+' key.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>to be deleted:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+Packages can be deleted two ways:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+removed: this removes most of the files associated with the package, but
+preserves the files listed as configuration files (see <a
+href="ch-pkg_basics.en.html#s-conffile">What is a Debian conffile?, Section
+7.5</a>) and package configuration information. This is done by pressing the
+`-' key.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+purged: this removes <em>every</em> file that is part of the package. This is
+done by pressing the `_' key.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Note that it's not possible to remove &quot;All Packages&quot;. If you try
+that, your system will instead be reduced to the initial installed base
+packages.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>to be put &quot;on hold&quot;</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+This is done by pressing `=', and it effectively tells <code>dselect</code> not
+to upgrade a package even if the version currently installed on your system is
+not as recent as the version that is available in the Debian repository you are
+using (this was specified when you set the <strong>Access Method</strong>, and
+acquired when you used <strong>Update</strong>).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Just like you can put a package on hold, you can reverse such setting by
+pressing `:'. That tells <code>dselect</code> that the package(s) may be
+upgraded if a newer version is available. This is the default setting.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>
+You can select a different order in which the packages are presented, by using
+the `o' key to cycle between various options for sorting the packages. The
+default order is to present packages by Priority; within each priority,
+packages are presented in order of the directory (a.k.a. section) of the
+archive in which they are stored. Given this sort order, some packages in
+section A (say) may be presented first, followed by some packages in section B,
+followed by more packages (of lower priority) in section A.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You can also expand meanings of the labels at the top of the screen, by using
+the `v' (verbose) key. This action pushes much of the text that formerly fit
+onto the display off to the right. To see it, press the right arrow; to scroll
+back to the left, press the left arrow.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you select a package for installation or removal, e.g.,
+<code>foo.deb</code>, and that package depends on (or recommends) another
+package, e.g., <code>blurf.deb</code>, then <code>dselect</code> will place the
+you in a sub-screen of the main selection screen. There you can choose among
+the related packages, accepting the suggested actions (to install or not), or
+rejecting them. To do the latter, press Shift-D; to return to the former,
+press Shift-U. In any case, you can save your selections and return to the
+main selection screen by pressing Shift-Q.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Users returning to the main menu can then select the &quot;Install&quot; menu
+item to unpack and configure the selected packages. Alternatively, users
+wishing to remove files can choose the &quot;Remove&quot; menu item. At any
+point, users can choose &quot;Quit&quot; to exit dselect; users' selections are
+preserved by <code>dselect</code>.
+</p>

+<h4><a name="s-dpkg-deb"></a>8.1.6.2 dpkg-deb</h4>
+
+<p>
+This program manipulates Debian archive(<samp>.deb</samp>) files. Some common
+uses are:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Find out all the options: <samp>dpkg-deb --help</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Determine what files are contained in a Debian archive file: <samp>dpkg-deb
+--contents foo_VVV-RRR.deb</samp>)
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Extract the files contained in a named Debian archive into a user specified
+directory: <samp>dpkg-deb --extract foo_VVV-RRR.deb tmp</samp> extracts each of
+the files in <samp>foo_VVV-RRR.deb</samp> into the directory <samp>tmp/</samp>.
+This is convenient for examining the contents of a package in a localized
+directory, without installing the package into the root file system.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Extract the control information files from a package: <samp>dpkg-deb --control
+foo_VVV-RRR.deb tmp</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Note that any packages that were merely unpacked using <samp>dpkg-deb
+--extract</samp> will be incorrectly installed, you should use <samp>dpkg
+--install</samp> instead.

+
+<p>
+More information is given in the manual page <code>dpkg-deb(1)</code>.

+
+<hr>
+
+<h4><a name="s-dpkg-split"></a>8.1.6.3 dpkg-split</h4>
+
+<p>
+This program splits large package into smaller files (e.g., for writing onto a
+set of floppy disks), and can also be used to merge a set of split files back
+into a single file. It can only be used on a Debian system (i.e. a system
+containing the <code>dpkg</code> package), since it calls the program
+<samp>dpkg-deb</samp> to parse the debian package file into its component
+records.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, to split a big .deb file into N parts,
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Execute the command <samp>dpkg-split --split foo.deb</samp>. This will produce
+N files each of approximately 460 KBytes long in the current directory.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Copy those N files to floppy disks.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Copy the contents of the floppy disks onto the hard disk of your choice on the
+other machine.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>

+<h2><a name="s-updaterunning"></a>8.2 Debian claims to be able to update a running program; how is this accomplished?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The kernel (file system) in Debian GNU/Linux systems supports replacing files
+even while they're being used.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+We also provide a program called <code>start-stop-daemon</code> which is used
+to start daemons at boot time or to stop daemons when the runlevel is changed
+(e.g., from multi-user to single-user or to halt). The same program is used by
+installation scripts when a new package containing a daemon is installed, to
+stop running daemons, and restart them as necessary.

+
+<h2><a name="s-whatpackages"></a>8.3 How can I tell what packages are already installed on a Debian system?</h2>
+
+<p>
+To learn the status of all the packages installed on a Debian system, execute
+the command
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --list
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+This prints out a one-line summary for each package, giving a 2-letter status
+symbol (explained in the header), the package name, the version which is
+<em>installed</em>, and a brief description.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To learn the status of packages whose names match the string any pattern
+beginning with &quot;foo&quot; by executing the command:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --list 'foo*'
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+To get a more verbose report for a particular package, execute the command:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --status packagename
+</pre>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-listfiles"></a>8.4 How to display the files of a package installed?</h2>
+
+<p>
+To list all the files provided by the installed package <samp>foo</samp>
+execute the command
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --listfiles foo
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Note that the files created by the installation scripts aren't displayed.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-filesearch"></a>8.5 How can I find out what package produced a particular file?</h2>
+
+<p>
+To identify the package that produced the file named <samp>foo</samp> execute
+either:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<samp>dpkg --search filename</samp>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This searches for <samp>filename</samp> in installed packages. (This is
+(currently) equivalent to searching all of the files having the file extension
+of <samp>.list</samp> in the directory <samp>/var/lib/dpkg/info/</samp>, and
+adjusting the output to print the names of all the packages containing it, and
+diversions.)
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A faster alternative to this is the <code>dlocate</code> tool.
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dlocate -S filename
+</pre>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<samp>zgrep foo Contents-ARCH.gz</samp>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This searches for files which contain the substring <samp>foo</samp> in their
+full path names. The files <samp>Contents-ARCH.gz</samp> (where ARCH
+represents the wanted architecture) reside in the major package directories
+(main, non-free, contrib) at a Debian FTP site (i.e. under
+<samp>/debian/dists/etch</samp>). A <samp>Contents</samp> file refers only to
+the packages in the subdirectory tree where it resides. Therefore, a user
+might have to search more than one <samp>Contents</samp> files to find the
+package containing the file <samp>foo</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This method has the advantage over <samp>dpkg --search</samp> in that it will
+find files in packages that are not currently installed on your system.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<samp>apt-file search <var>foo</var></samp>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you install the <code>apt-file</code>, similar to the above, it searches
+files which contain the substring or regular expression <samp>foo</samp> in
+their full path names. The advantage over the sample above is that there is no
+need to retrieve the <samp>Contents-ARCH.gz</samp> files as it will do this
+automatically for all the sources defined in <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code>
+when you run (as root) <samp>apt-file update</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>

+
+<h2><a name="s-datapackages"></a>8.6 Why doesn't get `foo-data' removed when I uninstall `foo'? How do I make sure old unused library-packages get purged?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Some packages are split in program (`foo') and data (`foo-data') (or in `foo'
+and `foo-doc'). This is true for many games, multimedia applications and
+dictionaries in Debian and has been introduced since some users might want to
+access the raw data without installing the program or because the program can
+be run without the data itself, making it optional.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Similar situations occur when dealing with libraries: generally these get
+installed since packages containing applications depend on them. When the
+application-package is purged, the library-package might stay on the system.
+Or: when the application-package no longer depends upon e.g. libdb4.2, but
+upon libdb4.3, the libdb4.2 package might stay when the application-package is
+upgraded.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+In these cases, `foo-data' doesn't depend on `foo', so when you remove the
+`foo' package it will not get automatically removed by most package management
+tools. The same holds true for the library packages. This is necessary to
+avoid circular dependencies. If you use <code>aptitude</code> (see <a
+href="#s-aptitude">aptitude, Section 8.1.3</a>) as your package management tool
+it will, however, track automatically installed packages and remove them when
+no packages remain that need them in your system.

+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 14 - Redistributing Debian GNU/Linux in a commercial product
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-sellcds"></a>14.1 Can I make and sell Debian CDs?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Go ahead. You do not need permission to distribute anything we have
+<em>released</em>, so that you can master your CD as soon as the beta-test
+ends. You do not have to pay us anything. Of course, all CD manufacturers
+must honor the licenses of the programs in Debian. For example, many of the
+programs are licensed under the GPL, which requires you to distribute their
+source code.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Also, we will publish a list of CD manufacturers who donate money, software,
+and time to the Debian project, and we will encourage users to buy from
+manufacturers who donate, so it is good advertising to make donations.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-packagednonfree"></a>14.2 Can Debian be packaged with non-free software?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Yes. While all the main components of Debian are free software, we provide a
+non-free directory for programs that are not freely redistributable.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+CD manufacturers <em>may</em> be able to distribute the programs we have placed
+in that directory, depending on the license terms or their private arrangements
+with the authors of those software packages. CD manufacturers can also
+distribute the non-free software they get from other sources on the same CD.
+This is nothing new: free and commercial software are distributed on the same
+CD by many manufacturers now. Of course we still encourage software authors to
+release the programs they write as free software.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-childistro"></a>14.3 I am making a special Linux distribution for a &quot;vertical market&quot;. Can I use Debian GNU/Linux for the guts of a Linux system and add my own applications on top of it?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Yes. Debian-derived distributions are being created both in close cooperation
+with the Debian project itself and by external parties. One can use the
+<code><a href="http://cdd.alioth.debian.org/">Custom Debian
+Distributions</a></code> framework to work together with Debian; <code><a
+href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux</a></code> is one such project.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+There are several other Debian-derived distributions already on the market,
+such as Progeny Debian, Linspire, Knoppix and Ubuntu, that are targeted at a
+different kind of audience than the original Debian GNU/Linux is, but use most
+of our components in their product.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian also provides a mechanism to allow developers and system administrators
+to install local versions of selected files in such a way that they will not be
+overwritten when other packages are upgraded. This is discussed further in the
+question on <a href="ch-customizing.en.html#s-divert">How do I override a file
+installed by a package, so that a different version can be used instead?,
+Section 11.8</a>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-commercialdebs"></a>14.4 Can I put my commercial program in a Debian &quot;package&quot; so that it installs effortlessly on any Debian system?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Go right ahead. The package tool is free software; the packages may or may not
+be free software, it can install them all.
+</p>

+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 5 - Software available in the Debian system
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-apps"></a>5.1 What types of applications and development software are available for Debian GNU/Linux?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Like most Linux distributions, Debian GNU/Linux provides:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+the major GNU applications for software development, file manipulation, and
+text processing, including gcc, g++, make, texinfo, Emacs, the Bash shell and
+numerous upgraded Unix utilities,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk and various related programs, modules and libraries for
+each of them,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+TeX (LaTeX) and Lyx, dvips, Ghostscript,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+the Xorg windowing system, which provides a networked graphical user interface
+for Linux, and countless X applications including the GNOME, KDE and Xfce
+desktop environments.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+a full suite of networking applications, including servers for Internet
+protocols such as HTTP (WWW), FTP, NNTP (news), SMTP and POP (mail) and DNS
+(name servers); relational databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL; also provided are
+web browsers including the various Mozilla products [<a
+href="footnotes.en.html#f1" name="fr1">1</a>],
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+a complete set of office applications, including the OpenOffice.org
+productivity suite, Gnumeric and other spreadsheets, WYSIWYG editors,
+calendars.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+More than 18040 packages, ranging from news servers and readers to sound
+support, FAX programs, database and spreadsheet programs, image processing
+programs, communications, net, and mail utilities, Web servers, and even
+ham-radio programs are included in the distribution. Another 560 software
+suites are available as Debian packages, but are not formally part of Debian
+due to license restrictions.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-softwareauthors"></a>5.2 Who wrote all that software?</h2>
+
+<p>
+For each package the <em>authors</em> of the program(s) are credited in the
+file <samp>/usr/share/doc/PACKAGE/copyright</samp>, where PACKAGE is to be
+substituted with the package's name.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>Maintainers</em> who package this software for the Debian GNU/Linux system
+are listed in the Debian control file (see <a
+href="ch-pkg_basics.en.html#s-controlfile">What is a Debian control file?,
+Section 7.4</a>) that comes with each package. The Debian changelog, in
+<samp>/usr/share/doc/PACKAGE/changelog.Debian.gz</samp>, mentions the people
+who've worked on the Debian packaging too.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-pkglist"></a>5.3 How can I get a current list of programs that have been packaged for Debian?</h2>
+
+<p>
+A complete list is available from any of the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/distrib/ftplist">Debian mirrors</a></code>, in the
+file <samp>indices/Maintainers</samp>. That file includes the package names
+and the names and e-mails of their respective maintainers.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <code><a href="http://packages.debian.org/">WWW interface to the Debian
+packages</a></code> conveniently summarizes the packages in each of about
+thirty &quot;sections&quot; of the Debian archive.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-buildenv"></a>5.4 How can I install a developer's environment to build packages?</h2>
+
+<p>
+If you want to build packages in your Debian system you will need to have a
+basic development environment, including a C/C++ compiler and some other
+essential packages. In order to install this environment you just need to
+install the <code>build-essential</code>. This package is a meta-package or
+place-holder package which depends on the standard development tools one needs
+to build a Debian package.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Some software can, however, need additional software to be rebuilt, including
+library headers or additional tools such as <code>autoconf</code> or
+<code>gettext</code>. Debian provides many of the tools needed to build other
+software as Debian packages.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Finding which software is precisely required can be tricky, however, unless you
+are planning on rebuilding Debian packages. This last task is rather easy to
+do, as official packages have to include a list of the additional software
+(besides the packages in <code>build-essential</code>) needed to build the
+pacakge, this is known as <samp>Build-Dependencies</samp>. To install all the
+packages needed to build a given source package and then build said source
+package you can just run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ # apt-get build-dep <var>foo</var>
+ # apt-get source --build <var>foo</var>
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Notice that if you want to build the Linux kernels distributed by Debian you
+will want to install also the <code>kernel-package</code> package. For more
+information see <a href="ch-kernel.en.html#s-customkernel">What tools does
+Debian provide to build custom kernels?, Section 10.2</a>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-missing"></a>5.5 What is missing from Debian GNU/Linux?</h2>
+
+<p>
+A list of packages which are still needed to be packaged for Debian exists, the
+<code><a href="http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/">Work-Needing and Prospective
+Packages list</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For more details about adding the missing things, see <a
+href="ch-contributing.en.html#s-contrib">How can I become a Debian software
+developer?, Section 13.1</a>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-no-devs"></a>5.6 Why do I get &quot;ld: cannot find -lfoo&quot; messages when compiling programs? Why aren't there any libfoo.so files in Debian library packages?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian Policy requires that such symbolic links (to libfoo.so.x.y.z or similar)
+are placed in separate, development packages. Those packages are usually named
+libfoo-dev or libfooX-dev (presuming the library package is named libfooX, and
+X is a whole number).
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-java"></a>5.7 (How) Does Debian support Java?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Several <em>free</em> implementations of Java technology are available as
+Debian packages, providing both Java Development Kits as well as Runtime
+Environments. You can write, debug and run Java programs using Debian.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Running a Java applet requires a web browser with the capability to recognize
+and execute them. Several web browsers available in Debian, such as Mozilla or
+Konqueror, support Java plug-ins that enable running Java applets within them.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Please refer to the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-java-faq/">Debian Java
+FAQ</a></code> for more information.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-isitdebian"></a>5.8 How can I check that I am using a Debian system, and what version is it?</h2>
+
+<p>
+In order to make sure that your system has been installed from the real Debian
+base disks check for the existence of <samp>/etc/debian_version</samp> file,
+which contains a single one-line entry giving the version number of the
+release, as defined by the package <samp>base-files</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The existence of the program <samp>dpkg</samp> shows that you should be able to
+install Debian packages on your system, but as the program has been ported to
+many other operating systems and architectures, this is no longer a reliable
+method of determining is a system Debian GNU/Linux.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Users should be aware, however, that the Debian system consists of many parts,
+each of which can be updated (almost) independently. Each Debian
+&quot;release&quot; contains well defined and unchanging contents. Updates are
+separately available. For a one-line description of the installation status of
+package <samp>foo</samp>, use the command <samp>dpkg --list foo</samp>. To
+view versions of all installed packages, run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg -l
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+For a more verbose description, use:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --status foo
+</pre>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-nonenglish"></a>5.9 How does Debian support non-English languages?</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Debian GNU/Linux is distributed with keymaps for nearly two dozen keyboards,
+and with utilities (in the <samp>kbd</samp> package) to install, view, and
+modify the tables.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The installation prompts the user to specify the keyboard he will use.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Vast majority of the software we packaged supports entering non-US-ASCII
+characters used in other Latin languages (e.g. ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-2), and
+a number of programs support multi-byte languages such as Japanese or Chinese.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Currently, support for German-, Spanish-, Finnish-, French-, Hungarian-,
+Italian-, Japanese-, Korean-, Dutch-, Polish-, Portuguese-, Russian-, Turkish-,
+and Chinese-language manual pages is provided through the
+<samp>manpages-LANG</samp> packages (where LANG is the two-letter ISO country
+code). To access an NLS manual page, the user must set the shell LC_MESSAGES
+variable to the appropriate string.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, in the case of the Italian-language manual pages, LC_MESSAGES
+needs to be set to 'italian'. The <code>man</code> program will then search
+for Italian manual pages under <samp>/usr/share/man/it/</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-pine"></a>5.10 Where is pine?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Due to its restrictive license, it's in the non-free area. Moreover, since
+license does not even allow modified binaries to be distributed, you have to
+compile it yourself from the source and the Debian patches.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The source package name is <code>pine</code>. You can use the
+<code>pine-tracker</code> package to be notified about when you need to
+upgrade.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Note that there are many replacements for both pine and pico, such as
+<code>mutt</code> and <code>nano</code>, that are located in the main section.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-qmail"></a>5.11 Where is qmail/ezmlm/djbdns?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Dan J. Bernstein used to distribute <code><a
+href="http://cr.yp.to/software.html">all software he has written</a></code>
+with a restrictive license which does not allow modified binaries to be
+distributed. In november 2007 however, Bernstein said &quot;[...] i have
+decided to put all of my future and [...] past software into the public
+domain&quot;. See <code><a href="http://cr.yp.to/distributors.html">FAQ from
+distributors</a></code> for his distribution terms.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+As of 2008-04, <code>daemontools</code>, <code>djbdns</code> and
+<code>ucspi-tcp</code> are shipped with Debian lenny (in main). As of this
+writing (2008-04), <code>qmail</code> is not yet packaged for Debian main; see
+<code><a href="http://bugs.debian.org/457318">Bug #457318 (ITP
+qmail)</a></code> for the current status.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+As of 2008-04, <samp>publicfile</samp> and <samp>ezmlm</samp> were still not
+free software. For <samp>ezmlm</samp>, there's the <code>ezmlm-src</code>
+package in the non-free area.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-flash"></a>5.12 Where is a player for Flash (SWF)?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian ships both <code>gnash</code> and <code>swfdec</code>: two free SWF
+movie players.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-googleearth"></a>5.13 Where is Google Earth?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Google Earth is available for GNU/Linux from Google's web site, but is not only
+not Free Software, but is completely undistributable by a third party.
+However, <code>googleearth-package</code> (in the contrib-section) might be
+helpful in using this software.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-voip"></a>5.14 Where is VoIP software?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Two main open protocols are used for Voice Over IP: SIP and H.323. Both are
+implemented by a wide variety of software in Debian main. <code>ekiga</code>
+is one of the popular clients.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-nonfreewireless"></a>5.15 I have a wireless network card which doesn't work with Linux. What should I do?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Buy one which does :)
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Alternatively, use <code>ndiswrapper</code> to use a driver for Windows (if you
+have one) on your Linux system. See the <code><a
+href="http://wiki.debian.org/NdisWrapper">Debian Wiki ndiswapper
+page</a></code> for more information.

+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Documentation on the Linux project: The Debian package <code>doc-linux</code>
+installs all of the most recent versions of the HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs from the
+<code><a href="http://www.tldp.org/">Linux Documentation Project</a></code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Unix-style `man' pages: Most commands have manual pages written in the style of
+the original Unix 'man' files. For instance, to see the manual page for the
+command `ls', execute <samp>man ls</samp>. Execute <samp>man man</samp> for
+more information on finding and viewing manual pages.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+New Debian users should note that the 'man' pages of many general system
+commands are not available until they install these packages:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<samp>man-db</samp>, which contains the <samp>man</samp> program itself, and
+other programs for manipulating the manual pages.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<samp>manpages</samp>, which contains the system manual pages. (see <a
+href="ch-software.en.html#s-nonenglish">How does Debian support non-English
+languages?, Section 5.9</a>).
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+GNU-style `info' pages: User documentation for many commands, particularly GNU
+tools, is available not in `man' pages, but in `info' files which can be read
+by the GNU tool <samp>info</samp>, by running <samp>M-x info</samp> within GNU
+Emacs, or with some other Info page viewer.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Its main advantage over the original `man' pages are that it is a hypertext
+system. It does <em>not</em> require the WWW, however; <samp>info</samp> can
+be run from a plain text console. It was designed by Richard Stallman and
+preceded the WWW.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Note that you may access a lot of documentation on your system by using a WWW
+browser, through `dwww', `dhelp' or `doccentral' commands, found in respective
+packages, or by using `yelp'.

+<h2><a name="s-onlineresources"></a>12.2 Are there any on-line resources for discussing Debian?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Yes. In fact, the main method of support Debian provides to our users is by
+the way of e-mail. We'll give some details on that, and mention some other
+useful resources. Even more resources are listed at the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/support">Debian Support webpage</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s12.2.1"></a>12.2.1 Mailing lists</h3>
+
+<p>
+There are a lot of <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/">Debian-related mailing
+lists</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+On a system with the <code>doc-debian</code> package installed there is a
+complete list of mailing lists in
+<code>/usr/share/doc/debian/mailing-lists.txt</code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian mailing lists are named following the pattern
+debian-<var>list-subject</var>. Examples are debian-announce, debian-user,
+debian-news. To subscribe to any list debian-<var>list-subject</var>, send
+mail to debian-<var>list-subject</var>-request@lists.debian.org with the word
+&quot;subscribe&quot; in the Subject: header. Be sure to remember to add
+<em>-request</em> to the e-mail address when using this method to subscribe or
+unsubscribe. Otherwise your e-mail will go to the list itself, which could be
+embarrassing or annoying, depending on your point of view.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You can subscribe to mailing lists using the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/subscribe">WWW form</a></code>. You
+can also un-subscribe using a <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/unsubscribe">WWW form</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The list manager's e-mail address is <code><a
+href="mailto:listmaster@lists.debian.org">listmaster@lists.debian.org</a></code>,
+in case you have any trouble.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The mailing lists are public forums. All e-mails sent to the lists are also
+copied to the public archive, for anybody (even non-subscribers) to browse or
+search. Please make sure you never send any confidential or unlicensed
+material to the lists. This includes things like e-mail addresses. Of
+particular note is the fact that spammers have been known to abuse e-mail
+addresses posted to our mailing lists. See the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/index.en.html#disclaimer">Mailing
+Lists Privacy policy</a></code> for more information.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Archives of the Debian mailing lists are available via WWW at <code><a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/">http://lists.debian.org/</a></code>.

+
+<h4><a name="s-mailinglistconduct"></a>12.2.1.1 What is the code of conduct for the mailing lists?</h4>
+
+<p>
+When using the Debian mailing lists, please follow these rules:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Do not send spam. See the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#ads">Debian mailing list advertising
+policy</a></code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Do not flame; it is not polite. The people developing Debian are all
+volunteers, donating their time, energy and money in an attempt to bring the
+Debian project together.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Do not use foul language; besides, some people receive the lists via packet
+radio, where swearing is illegal.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Make sure that you are using the proper list. <em>Never</em> post your
+(un)subscription requests to the mailing list itself[<a
+href="footnotes.en.html#f7" name="fr7">7</a>]
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+See section <a href="#s-bugreport">How do I report a bug in Debian?, Section
+12.5</a> for notes on reporting bugs.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s12.2.2"></a>12.2.2 Web forums</h3>
+
+<p>
+<code><a href="http://debianhelp.org/">debianHELP</a></code> and <code><a
+href="http://forums.debian.net/">Debian User Forums</a></code> are web forums
+on which you can submit questions about Debian and have them answered by other
+users. (These are not officially part of the Debian project.)
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s12.2.3"></a>12.2.3 Wiki</h3>
+
+<p>
+Solutions to common problems, howto's, guides, tips and other documentation can
+be found at the constantly changing <code><a
+href="http://wiki.debian.org/">Debian Wiki</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s12.2.4"></a>12.2.4 Maintainers</h3>
+
+<p>
+Users can address questions to individual package maintainers using e-mail. To
+reach a maintainer of a package called xyz, send e-mail to
+<em>xyz@packages.debian.org</em>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s12.2.5"></a>12.2.5 Usenet newsgroups</h3>
+
+<p>
+Users should post non-Debian-specific questions to one of the Linux USENET
+groups, which are named comp.os.linux.* or linux.*. There are several lists of
+Linux Usenet newsgroups and other related resources on the WWW, e.g. on the
+<code><a href="http://www.linux.org/docs/usenet.html">Linux Online</a></code>
+and <code><a
+href="http://www.linuxjournal.com/helpdesk.php">LinuxJournal</a></code> sites.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-searchtools"></a>12.3 Is there a quick way to search for information on Debian GNU/Linux?</h2>
+
+<p>
+There is a variety of search engines that serve documentation related to
+Debian:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code><a href="http://search.debian.org/">Debian WWW search site</a></code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code><a href="http://groups.google.com/">Google Groups</a></code>: a search
+engine for newsgroups.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, to find out what experiences people have had with finding drivers
+for Promise controllers under Debian, try searching on the phrase <samp>Promise
+Linux driver</samp>. This will show you all the postings that contain these
+strings, i.e. those where people discussed these topics. If you add
+<samp>Debian</samp> to those search strings, you'll also get the postings
+specifically related to Debian.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Any of the common web spidering engines, such as <code><a
+href="http://www.altavista.com/">AltaVista</a></code> or <code><a
+href="http://www.google.com/">Google</a></code>, as long as you use the right
+search terms.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, searching on the string &quot;cgi-perl&quot; gives a more detailed
+explanation of this package than the brief description field in its control
+file.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-buglogs"></a>12.4 Are there logs of known bugs?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Reports on unsolved (and closed) issues are publicly available: Debian
+promissed to do so by stating &quot;We will not hide problems&quot; in the
+<code><a href="http://www.debian.org/social_contract">Debian Social
+Contract</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Debian GNU/Linux distribution has a bug tracking system (BTS) which files
+details of bugs reported by users and developers. Each bug is given a number,
+and is kept on file. Once it has been dealt with, it is marked as such.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Copies of this information are available at <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/Bugs/">http://www.debian.org/Bugs/</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A mail server provides access to the bug tracking system database via e-mail.
+In order to get the instructions, send an e-mail to request@bugs.debian.org
+with &quot;help&quot; in the body.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-bugreport"></a>12.5 How do I report a bug in Debian?</h2>
+
+<p>
+If you have found a bug in Debian, please read the instructions for reporting a
+bug in Debian. These instructions can be obtained in one of several ways:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+From the WWW. A copy of the instructions is shown at <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting">http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting</a></code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+On any Debian system with the <code>doc-debian</code> package installed. The
+instructions are in the file
+<code>/usr/share/doc/debian/bug-reporting.txt</code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+By anonymous FTP. Debian mirror sites contain the instructions in the file
+<samp>doc/bug-reporting.txt</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+You can use the package <code>reportbug</code> that will guide you through the
+reporting process and mail the message to the proper address, with some extra
+details about your system added automatically. It will also show you a list of
+bugs already reported to the package you are reporting against in case your bug
+has been reported previously, so that you can add additional information to the
+existing bug report.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Expect to get an automatic acknowledgement of your bug report. It will also be
+automatically given a bug tracking number, entered into the bug log and
+forwarded to the debian-bugs-dist mailing list.

+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 9 - Keeping your Debian system up-to-date
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<p>
+A Debian goal is to provide a consistent upgrade path and a secure upgrade
+process. We always do our best to make upgrading to new releases a smooth
+procedure. In case there's some important note to add to the upgrade process,
+the packages will alert the user, and often provide a solution to a possible
+problem.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You should also read the Release Notes document that describes the details of
+specific upgrades. It is shipped on all Debian CDs and available on the WWW at
+<code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/releasenotes">http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/releasenotes</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-howtocurrent"></a>9.1 How can I keep my Debian system current?</h2>
+
+<p>
+One could simply execute an anonymous ftp call to a Debian archive, then peruse
+the directories until one finds the desired file, and then fetch it, and
+finally install it using <samp>dpkg</samp>. Note that <samp>dpkg</samp> will
+install upgrade files in place, even on a running system. Sometimes, a revised
+package will require the installation of a newly revised version of another
+package, in which case the installation will fail until/unless the other
+package is installed.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Many people find this approach much too time-consuming, since Debian evolves so
+quickly -- typically, a dozen or more new packages are uploaded every week.
+This number is larger just before a new major release. To deal with this
+avalanche, many people prefer to use a more automated method. Several
+different packages are available for this purpose:
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-aptitude-upgrade"></a>9.1.1 aptitude</h3>
+
+<p>
+APT is an advanced interface to the Debian packaging system. It features
+complete installation ordering, multiple source capability and several other
+unique features, see the User's Guide in
+<samp>/usr/share/doc/apt-doc/guide.html/index.html</samp> (you will have to
+install the <samp>apt-doc</samp> package).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> is the recommended package manager for Debian GNU/Linux
+systems. It is a text-based interface to APT using the curses library, and can
+be used to perform management tasks in a fast and easy way.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Before you can use <code>aptitude</code>, you'll have to edit the
+<samp>/etc/apt/sources.list</samp> file to set it up. If you wish to upgrade
+to the latest stable version of Debian, you'll probably want to use a source
+like this one:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+You can replace ftp.us.debian.org with the name of a faster Debian mirror near
+you. See the mirror list at <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/mirror/list">http://www.debian.org/mirror/list</a></code>
+for more information.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+More details on this can be found in the <code>sources.list(8)</code> manual
+page.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To update your system, run
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ aptitude update
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+followed by
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ aptitude dist-upgrade
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Answer any questions that might come up, and your system will be upgraded. See
+also <a href="ch-pkgtools.en.html#s-aptitude">aptitude, Section 8.1.3</a>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-apt"></a>9.1.2 apt-get, dselect and apt-cdrom</h3>
+
+<p>
+<code>apt-get</code> is an APT-based command-line tool for handling packages,
+and the APT dselect method is an interface to APT through <code>dselect</code>.
+Both of these provide a simple, safe way to install and upgrade packages.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To use <code>apt-get</code>, install the <code>apt</code> package, and edit the
+<samp>/etc/apt/sources.list</samp> file to set it up, just as for <a
+href="#s-aptitude-upgrade">aptitude, Section 9.1.1</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Then run
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get update
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+followed by
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get dist-upgrade
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Answer any questions that might come up, and your system will be upgraded. See
+also the <code>apt-get(8)</code> manual page, as well as <a
+href="ch-pkgtools.en.html#s-apt-get">APT, Section 8.1.2</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To use APT with <code>dselect</code>, choose the APT access method in dselect's
+method selection screen (option 0) and then specify the sources that should be
+used. The configuration file is <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code>. See also
+<a href="ch-pkgtools.en.html#s-dselect">dselect, Section 8.1.6.1</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you want to use CDs to install packages, you can use <code>apt-cdrom</code>.
+For details, please see the Release Notes, section &quot;Setting up for an
+upgrade from a local mirror&quot;.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Please note that when you get and install the packages, you'll still have them
+kept in your /var directory hierarchy. To keep your partition from
+overflowing, remember to delete extra files using <samp>apt-get clean</samp>
+and <samp>apt-get autoclean</samp>, or to move them someplace else (hint: use
+<code>apt-move</code>).
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-update_aptitude"></a>9.1.3 aptitude</h3>
+
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> is a text-based interface to the Debian package system.
+It allows the user to view the list of packages and to perform package
+management tasks such as installing, upgrading, and removing packages (see <a
+href="ch-pkgtools.en.html#s-aptitude">aptitude, Section 8.1.3</a>). Actions
+may be performed from a visual interface or from the command-line.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+In command line, the actions are similar to that of APT, so to upgrade your
+system run
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ aptitude update
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+followed by
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ aptitude dist-upgrade
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+To upgrade from a preview release, <code>aptitude</code> is the tool
+recommended. Read the Release Notes at <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/releasenotes">http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/releasenotes</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For details, see the manual page <code>aptitude(8)</code>, and the file
+<code>/usr/share/aptitude/README</code>
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-mirror"></a>9.1.4 mirror</h3>
+
+<p>
+This Perl script, and its (optional) manager program called
+<code>mirror-master</code>, can be used to fetch user-specified parts of a
+directory tree from a specified host <em>via</em> anonymous FTP.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<code>mirror</code> is particularly useful for downloading large volumes of
+software. After the first time files have been downloaded from a site, a file
+called <samp>.mirrorinfo</samp> is stored on the local host. Changes to the
+remote file system are tracked automatically by <code>mirror</code>, which
+compares this file to a similar file on the remote system and downloads only
+changed files.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <code>mirror</code> program is generally useful for updating local copies
+of remote directory trees. The files fetched need not be Debian files. (Since
+<code>mirror</code> is a Perl script, it can also run on non-Unix systems.)
+Though the <code>mirror</code> program provides mechanisms for excluding files
+names of which match user-specified strings, this program is most useful when
+the objective is to download whole directory trees, rather than selected
+packages.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-dpkg-mountable"></a>9.1.5 dpkg-mountable</h3>
+
+<p>
+dpkg-mountable adds an access method called `mountable' to dselect's list,
+which allows you to install from any file system specified in /etc/fstab. For
+example, the archive could be a normal hard disk partition or an NFS server,
+which it will automatically mount and umount for you if necessary.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It also has some extra features not found in the standard dselect methods, such
+as provision for a local file tree (either parallel to the main distribution or
+totally separate), and only getting packages which are required, rather than
+the time-consuming recursive directory scan, as well as logging of all dpkg
+actions in the install method.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-upgradesingle"></a>9.2 Must I go into single user mode in order to upgrade a package?</h2>
+
+<p>
+No. Packages can be upgraded in place, even in running systems. Debian has a
+<samp>start-stop-daemon</samp> program that is invoked to stop, then restart
+running process if necessary during a package upgrade.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-savedebs"></a>9.3 Do I have to keep all those .deb archive files on my disk?</h2>
+
+<p>
+No. If you have downloaded the files to your disk then after you have
+installed the packages, you can remove them from your system, e.g. by running
+<samp>aptitude clean</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-keepingalog"></a>9.4 How can I keep a log of the packages I added to the system? I'd like to know when which package upgrades and removals have occured!</h2>
+
+<p>
+Passing the <samp>--log</samp>-option to <code>dpkg</code> makes
+<code>dpkg</code> log status change updates and actions. It logs both the
+<code>dpkg</code>-invokation (e.g.
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ 2005-12-30 18:10:33 install hello 1.3.18 2.1.1-4
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+) and the results (e.g.
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ 2005-12-30 18:10:35 status installed hello 2.1.1-4
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+) If you'd like to log all your <code>dpkg</code> invokations (even those done
+using frontends like <code>aptitude</code>), you could add
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ log /var/log/dpkg.log
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+to your <code>/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg</code>. Be sure the created logfile gets
+rotated periodically. If you're using <code>logrotate</code>, this can be
+achieved by creating a file <code>/etc/logrotate.d/dpkg</code> with contents
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ /var/log/dpkg {
+ missingok
+ notifempty
+ }
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+More details on <code>dpkg</code> logging can be found in the
+<code>dpkg(1)</code> manual page.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> logs the package installations, removals, and upgrades
+that it intends to perform to <code>/var/log/aptitude</code>. Note that the
+<em>results</em> of those actions are not recorded in this file!
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Another way to record your actions is to run your package management session
+within the <code>script(1)</code> program.
+</p>

+
+<h2><a name="s-autoupdate"></a>9.5 Can I automatically update the system?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Yes. You can use <code>cron-apt</code>, this tool updates the system at
+regular interval by using a cron job. By default it just updates the package
+list and download new packages without installing.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Note: Automatic upgrade of packages is <strong>NOT</strong> recommended in
+<em>testing</em> or <em>unstable</em> systems as this might bring unexpected
+behaviour and remove packages without notice.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-aptproxy"></a>9.6 I have several machines how can I download the updates only one time?</h2>
+
+<p>
+If you have more than one Debian machine on your network, it is useful to use
+<code>apt-proxy</code> to keep all of your Debian systems up-to-date.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<code>apt-proxy</code> reduces the bandwidth requirements of Debian mirrors by
+restricting the frequency of Packages, Releases and Sources file updates from
+the back end and only doing a single fetch for any file, independently of the
+actual request it from the proxy. <code>apt-proxy</code> automatically builds
+a Debian HTTP mirror based on requests which pass through the proxy.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For more details, see the apt-proxy homepage at <code><a
+href="http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net/">http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net/</a></code>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Of course, you can get the same benefit if you are already using a standard
+caching proxy and all your systems are configured to use it.

+
+<h2><a href="ch-software.en.html#fr1" name="f1">1</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+These have been, however, rebranded and are provided with different names due
+to trademark issues
+</p>
+
+<h2><a href="ch-ftparchives.en.html#fr2" name="f2">2</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+When the present-day sid did not exist, the FTP site organization had one major
+flaw: there was an assumption that when an architecture is created in the
+current unstable, it will be released when that distribution becomes the new
+stable. For many architectures that isn't the case, with the result that those
+directories had to be moved at release time. This was impractical because the
+move would chew up lots of bandwidth.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The archive administrators worked around this problem for several years by
+placing binaries for unreleased architectures in a special directory called
+&quot;sid&quot;. For those architectures not yet released, the first time they
+were released there was a link from the current stable to sid, and from then on
+they were created inside the unstable tree as normal. This layout was somewhat
+confusing to users.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+With the advent of package pools (see <a href="#s-pools">What's in the
+<samp>pool</samp> directory?, Section 6.10</a>), binary packages began to be
+stored in a canonical location in the pool, regardless of the distribution, so
+releasing a distribution no longer causes large bandwidth consumption on the
+mirrors (there is, however, a lot of gradual bandwidth consumption throughout
+the development process).
+</p>
+
+<h2><a href="ch-ftparchives.en.html#fr3" name="f3">3</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+<samp>dists/stable/main</samp>, <samp>dists/stable/contrib</samp>,
+<samp>dists/stable/non-free</samp>, and <samp>dists/unstable/main/</samp>, etc.
+</p>
+
+<h2><a href="ch-ftparchives.en.html#fr4" name="f4">4</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+Historically, packages were kept in the subdirectory of <samp>dists</samp>
+corresponding to which distribution contained them. This turned out to cause
+various problems, such as large bandwidth consumption on mirrors when major
+changes were made. This was fixed with the introduction of the package pool.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <samp>dists</samp> directories are still used for the index files used by
+programs like <samp>apt</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<h2><a href="ch-pkgtools.en.html#fr5" name="f5">5</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+Notice that there are ports that make this tool available with other package
+management systems, like Red Hat package manager, also known as
+<code>rpm</code>
+</p>
+
+<h2><a href="ch-pkgtools.en.html#fr6" name="f6">6</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+Although this can also lead to systems with more packages installed than they
+actually need to work.
+</p>
+
+<h2><a href="ch-support.en.html#fr7" name="f7">7</a></h2>

+Methods of accessing the bug tracking system logs
+
+Accessing active bug reports
+
+ Each message received at or sent by the bug processing system is
+ logged and made available in a number of ways.
+
+ The primary access method is to use the web pages. See the forms on
+ the main BTS page at http://bugs.debian.org/
+
+ There is a mailserver which can send bug reports as plain text on
+ request. To use it send the word help as the sole contents of an email
+ to request@bugs.debian.org (the Subject of the message is ignored), or
+ read the instructions on the World Wide Web or in the file
+ bug-log-mailserver.txt.
+
+Accessing archived bug reports
+
+ Each closed bug report is archived 28 days after the last message
+ relating to it is received and filed. This means that it is no longer
+ possible to access it or change anything about it using the control
+ and service bots. However, the reports are still accessible for
+ viewing.
+
+ You can search the bug report archive using the WWW forms at
+ http://bugs.debian.org/, simply select the "archived bugs" option.
+
+ Note that it doesn't contain the oldest closed bug reports, only those
+ after #40000, approximately.
+
+Accessing the raw bug data
+
+ If you need to get hold of the raw data used by the bug tracking
+ system, you can mirror it using rsync from bugs-mirror.debian.org. The
+ relevant modules are bts-spool-db (for the active bug spool),
+ bts-spool-archive (for bugs that have been closed for a while and thus
+ archived), and bts-spool-index (for the bug index files).
+
+ At the time of writing, the active spool is about 2.5GB and the
+ archived spool is about 10GB. If you only need a sample for testing
+ purposes, please consider downloading only part of the active spool
+ rather than the whole thing.
+
+ Please do not rely on *.status files in the bug spools, as they are
+ obsolete, for compatibility purposes only, and will be removed at some
+ point in the future. Use the *.summary files instead.

+Introduction to the bug system request server
+
+ There is a mailserver which can send the bug reports and indices as
+ plain text on request.
+
+ To use it you send a mail message to request@bugs.debian.org. The
+ Subject of the message is ignored, except for generating the Subject
+ of the reply.
+
+ The body you send should be a series of commands, one per line. You'll
+ receive a reply which looks like a transcript of your message being
+ interpreted, with a response to each command. No notifications are
+ sent to anyone for the commands listed here and the mail isn't logged
+ anywhere publicly available.
+
+ Any text on a line starting with a hash sign # is ignored; the server
+ will stop processing when it finds a line with a control terminator (
+ quit, thank you, or two hyphens are common examples). It will also
+ stop if it encounters too many unrecognised or badly-formatted
+ commands. If no commands are successfully handled it will send the
+ help text for the server.
+
+Commands available
+
+ send bugnumber
+ send-detail bugnumber
+ Requests the transcript for the bug report in question.
+ send-detail sends all of the "boring" messages in the
+ transcript as well, such as the various auto-acks.
+
+ index [full]
+ index-summary by-package
+ index-summary by-number
+ Request the full index (with full details, and including done
+ and forwarded reports), or the summary sorted by package or by
+ number, respectively.
+
+ index-maint
+ Requests the index page giving the list of maintainers with
+ bugs (open and recently-closed) in the tracking system.
+
+ index maint maintainer
+ Requests the index pages of bugs in the system for the
+ maintainer maintainer. The search term is an exact match. The
+ bug index will be sent in a separate message.
+
+ index-packages
+ Requests the index page giving the list of packages with bugs
+ (open and recently-closed) in the tracking system.
+
+ index packages package
+ Requests the index pages of bugs in the system for the package
+ package. The search term is an exact match. The bug index will
+ be sent in a separate message.
+
+ send-unmatched [this|0]
+ send-unmatched last|-1
+ send-unmatched old|-2
+ Requests logs of messages not matched to a particular bug
+ report, for this week, last week and the week before. (Each
+ week ends on a Wednesday.)
+
+ getinfo filename
+ Request a file containing information about package(s) and or
+ maintainer(s) - the files available are:
+
+ maintainers
+ The unified list of packages' maintainers, as used by the
+ tracking system. This is derived from information in the
+ Packages files, override files and pseudo-packages files.
+
+ override.distribution
+ override.distribution.non-free
+ override.distribution.contrib
+ override.experimental
+ Information about the priorities and sections of packages
+ and overriding values for the maintainers. This
+ information is used by the process which generates the
+ Packages files in the FTP archive. Information is
+ available for each of the main distribution trees
+ available, by their codewords.
+
+ pseudo-packages.description
+ pseudo-packages.maintainers
+ List of descriptions and maintainers respectively for
+ pseudo-packages.
+
+ refcard
+ Requests that the mailservers' reference card be sent in plain
+ ASCII.
+
+ help
+ Requests that this help document be sent by email in plain
+ ASCII.
+
+ quit
+ stop
+ thank
+ thanks
+ thankyou
+ thank you
+ --
+ Stops processing at this point of the message. After this you
+ may include any text you like, and it will be ignored. You can
+ use this to include longer comments than are suitable for #,
+ for example for the benefit of human readers of your message
+ (reading it via the tracking system logs or due to a CC or
+ BCC).
+
+ #...
+ One-line comment. The # must be at the start of the line.
+
+ debug level
+ Sets the debugging level to level, which should be a
+ nonnegative integer. 0 is no debugging; 1 is usually
+ sufficient. The debugging output appears in the transcript. It
+ is not likely to be useful to general users of the bug system.
+
+ There is a reference card for the mailservers, available via the WWW,
+ in bug-mailserver-refcard.txt or by email using the refcard command
+ (see above).
+
+ If you wish to manipulate bug reports you should use the
+ control@bugs.debian.org address, which understands a superset of the
+ commands listed above. This is described in another document,
+ available on the WWW, in the file bug-maint-mailcontrol.txt, or by
+ sending help to control@bugs.
+
+ In case you are reading this as a plain text file or via email: an
+ HTML version is available via the bug system main contents page
+ http://www.debian.org/Bugs/.

+Developers' information regarding the bug processing system
+
+ Initially, a bug report is submitted by a user as an ordinary mail
+ message to submit@bugs.debian.org. This will then be given a number,
+ acknowledged to the user, and forwarded to debian-bugs-dist. If the
+ submitter included a Package line listing a package with a known
+ maintainer the maintainer will get a copy too.
+
+ The Subject line will have Bug#nnn: added, and the Reply-To will be
+ set to include both the submitter of the report and

+
+Closing bug reports
+
+ Debian bug reports should be closed when the problem is fixed.
+ Problems in packages can only be considered fixed once a package that
+ includes the bug fix enters the Debian archive.
+
+ Normally, the only people that should close a bug report are the
+ submitter of the bug and the maintainer(s) of the package against
+ which the bug is filed. There are exceptions to this rule, for
+ example, the bugs filed against unknown packages or certain generic
+ pseudo-packages. When in doubt, don't close bugs, first ask for advice
+ on the debian-devel mailing list.
+
+ Bug reports should be closed by sending email to
+ nnn-done@bugs.debian.org. The message body needs to contain an
+ explanation of how the bug was fixed.
+
+ With the emails received from the bug tracking system, all you need to
+ do to close the bug is to make a Reply in your mail reader program and
+ edit the To field to say nnn-done@bugs.debian.org instead of
+ nnn@bugs.debian.org (nnn-close is provided as an alias for nnn-done).
+
+ Where applicable, please supply a Version line in the pseudo-header of
+ your message when closing a bug, so that the bug tracking system knows
+ which releases of the package contain the fix.
+
+ The person closing the bug, the person who submitted it and the
+ debian-bugs-closed mailing list will each get a notification about the
+ change in status of the report. The submitter and the mailing list
+ will also receive the contents of the message sent to nnn-done.
+
+Followup messages
+
+ The bug tracking system will include the submitter's address and the
+ bug address (nnn@bugs.debian.org) in the Reply-To header after
+ forwarding the bug report. Please note that these are two distinct
+ addresses.
+
+ If a developer wishes to reply to a bug report they should simply
+ reply to the message, respecting the Reply-To header. This will not
+ close the bug.
+
+ The bug tracking system will receive the message at
+ nnn@bugs.debian.org, pass it on to the package maintainer, file the
+ reply with the rest of the logs for that bug report and forward it to
+ debian-bugs-dist.
+
+ Sending a message to nnn-submitter@bugs.debian.org will explicitly
+ email the submitter of the bug and place a copy in the Bug tracking
+ system. The message will not be sent to package maintainer.
+
+ If you wish to send a followup message which is not appropriate for
+ debian-bugs-dist you can do so by sending it to
+ nnn-quiet@bugs.debian.org or nnn-maintonly@bugs.debian.org. Mail to
+ nnn-quiet@bugs.debian.org is filed in the Bug Tracking System but is
+ not delivered to any individuals or mailing lists. Mail to
+ nnn-maintonly@bugs.debian.org is filed in the Bug Tracking System and
+ is delivered only to the maintainer of the package in question.
+
+ Do not use the "reply to all recipients" or "followup" feature of your
+ mailer unless you intend to edit down the recipients substantially. In
+ particular, see that you don't send followup messages to
+ submit@bugs.debian.org.
+
+ For more information about headers to suppress ACK messages and how to
+ send carbon copies using the Bug Tracking System, see the instructions
+ for reporting bugs.
+
+Severity levels
+
+ The bug system records a severity level with each bug report. This is
+ set to normal by default, but can be overridden either by supplying a
+ Severity line in the pseudo-header when the bug is submitted (see the
+ instructions for reporting bugs), or by using the severity command
+ with the control request server.
+
+ The severity levels are:
+
+ critical
+ makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system)
+ break, or causes serious data loss, or introduces a security
+ hole on systems where you install the package.
+
+ grave
+ makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, or causes
+ data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the
+ accounts of users who use the package.
+
+ serious
+ is a severe violation of Debian policy (roughly, it violates a
+ "must" or "required" directive), or, in the package
+ maintainer's or release manager's opinion, makes the package
+ unsuitable for release.
+
+ important
+ a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package,
+ without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.

+ the default value, applicable to most bugs.
+

+ for any feature request, and also for any bugs that are very
+ difficult to fix due to major design considerations.
+
+ Certain severities are considered release-critical, meaning the bug
+ will have an impact on releasing the package with the stable release
+ of Debian. Currently, these are critical, grave and serious. For
+ complete and canonical rules on what issues merit these severities,
+ see the list of Release-Critical Issues for Lenny.
+
+Tags for bug reports
+
+ Each bug can have zero or more of a set of given tags. These tags are
+ displayed in the list of bugs when you look at a package's page, and
+ when you look at the full bug log.
+
+ Tags can be set by supplying a Tags line in the pseudo-header when the
+ bug is submitted (see the instructions for reporting bugs), or by
+ using the tags command with the control request server. Separate
+ multiple tags with commas, spaces, or both.
+
+ The current bug tags are:
+
+ patch
+ A patch or some other easy procedure for fixing the bug is
+ included in the bug logs. If there's a patch, but it doesn't
+ resolve the bug adequately or causes some other problems, this
+ tag should not be used.
+
+ wontfix
+ This bug won't be fixed. Possibly because this is a choice
+ between two arbitrary ways of doing things and the maintainer
+ and submitter prefer different ways of doing things, possibly
+ because changing the behaviour will cause other, worse,
+ problems for others, or possibly for other reasons.
+
+ moreinfo
+ This bug can't be addressed until more information is provided
+ by the submitter. The bug will be closed if the submitter
+ doesn't provide more information in a reasonable (few months)
+ timeframe. This is for bugs like "It doesn't work". What
+ doesn't work?
+
+ unreproducible
+ This bug can't be reproduced on the maintainer's system.
+ Assistance from third parties is needed in diagnosing the cause
+ of the problem.
+
+ help
+ The maintainer is requesting help with dealing with this bug.
+
+ pending
+ A solution to this bug has been found and an upload will be
+ made soon.
+
+ fixed
+ This bug is fixed or worked around (by a non-maintainer upload,
+ for example), but there's still an issue that needs to be
+ resolved. This tag replaces the old "fixed" severity.
+
+ security
+ This bug describes a security problem in a package (e.g., bad
+ permissions allowing access to data that shouldn't be
+ accessible; buffer overruns allowing people to control a system
+ in ways they shouldn't be able to; denial of service attacks
+ that should be fixed, etc). Most security bugs should also be
+ set at critical or grave severity.
+
+ upstream
+ This bug applies to the upstream part of the package.
+
+ confirmed
+ The maintainer has looked at, understands, and basically agrees
+ with the bug, but has yet to fix it. (Use of this tag is
+ optional; it is intended mostly for maintainers who need to
+ manage large numbers of open bugs.)
+
+ fixed-upstream
+ The bug has been fixed by the upstream maintainer, but not yet
+ in the package (for whatever reason: perhaps it is too
+ complicated to backport the change or too minor to be worth
+ bothering).
+
+ fixed-in-experimental
+ The bug has been fixed in the package of the experimental
+ distribution, but not yet in the unstable distribution.
+
+ d-i
+ This bug is relevant to the development of debian-installer. It
+ is expected that this will be used when the bug affects
+ installer development but is not filed against a package that
+ forms a direct part of the installer itself.
+
+ ipv6
+ This bug affects support for Internet Protocol version 6.
+
+ lfs
+ This bug affects support for large files (over 2 gigabytes).
+
+ l10n
+ This bug is relevant to the localisation of the package.
+
+ potato
+ This bug particularly applies to the potato release of Debian.
+
+ woody
+ This bug particularly applies to the woody distribution.
+
+ sarge
+ This bug should not be archived until it is fixed in sarge.
+
+ sarge-ignore
+ This release-critical bug is to be ignored for the purposes of
+ releasing sarge. This tag should only be used by the release
+ manager; do not set it yourself without explicit authorization
+ from them.
+
+ etch
+ This bug should not be archived until it is fixed in etch.
+
+ etch-ignore
+ This release-critical bug is to be ignored for the purposes of
+ releasing etch. This tag should only be used by the release
+ manager; do not set it yourself without explicit authorization
+ from them.
+
+ lenny
+ This bug should not be archived until it is fixed in lenny.
+
+ lenny-ignore
+ This release-critical bug is to be ignored for the purposes of
+ releasing lenny. This tag should only be used by the release
+ manager(s); do not set it yourself without explicit
+ authorization from them.
+
+ sid
+ This bug should not be archived until it is fixed in sid.
+
+ experimental
+ This bug should not be archived until it is fixed in
+ experimental.
+
+ The meanings of the latter 8 tags have changed recently; the ignore
+ tags ignore the bug for the purpose of a testing propagation. The
+ release tags, which used to only indicate which bugs affected a
+ specific release, now indicate when a bug can be archived, and are
+ otherwise ignored by the BTS. However, they may be utilized by other
+ tools like the testing propagation scripts.
+
+Recording that you have passed on a bug report
+
+ When a developer forwards a bug report to the developer of the
+ upstream source package from which the Debian package is derived, they
+ should note this in the bug tracking system as follows:
+
+ Make sure that the To field of your message to the author has only the
+ author(s) address(es) in it; put the person who reported the bug,
+ nnn-forwarded@bugs.debian.org and nnn@bugs.debian.org in the CC field.
+
+ Ask the author to preserve the CC to nnn-forwarded@bugs.debian.org
+ when they reply, so that the bug tracking system will file their reply
+ with the original report. These messages are only filed and are not
+ sent on; to send a message as normal, send them to nnn@bugs.debian.org
+ as well.
+
+ When the bug tracking system gets a message at nnn-forwarded it will
+ mark the relevant bug as having been forwarded to the address(es) in
+ the To field of the message it gets, if the bug is not already marked
+ as forwarded.
+
+ You can also manipulate the "forwarded to" information by sending
+ messages to control@bugs.debian.org.
+
+Changing bug ownership
+
+ In cases where the person responsible for fixing a bug is not the
+ assigned maintainer for the associated package (for example, when the
+ package is maintained by a team), it may be useful to record this fact
+ in the bug tracking system. To help with this, each bug may optionally
+ have an owner.
+
+ The owner can be set by supplying an Owner line in the pseudo-header
+ when the bug is submitted (see the instructions for reporting bugs),
+ or by using the owner and noowner commands with the control request
+ server.
+
+Incorrectly listed package maintainers
+
+ If the maintainer of a package is listed incorrectly, this is usually
+ because the maintainer has changed recently, and the new maintainer
+ hasn't yet uploaded a new version of the package with a changed
+ Maintainer control file field. This will be fixed when the package is
+ uploaded; alternatively, the archive maintainers can override the
+ maintainer record of a package manually, for example if a rebuild and
+ reupload of the package is not expected to be needed soon. Contact
+ override-change@debian.org for changes to the override file.
+
+Reopening, reassigning and manipulating bugs
+
+ It is possible to reassign bug reports to other packages, to reopen
+ erroneously-closed ones, to modify the information saying to where, if
+ anywhere, a bug report has been forwarded, to change the severities
+ and titles of reports, to set the ownership of bugs, to merge and
+ unmerge bug reports, and to record the versions of packages in which
+ bugs were found and in which they were fixed. This is done by sending
+ mail to control@bugs.debian.org.
+
+ The format of these messages is described in another document
+ available on the World Wide Web or in the file
+ bug-maint-mailcontrol.txt. A plain text version can also be obtained
+ by mailing the word help to the server at the address above.
+
+Subscribing to bugs
+
+ The bug tracking system also allows bug submitters, developers and
+ other interested third parties to subscribe to individual bugs. This
+ feature can be used by those wishing to keep an eye on a bug, without
+ having to subscribe to a package through the PTS. All messages that
+ are received at nnn@bugs.debian.org, are sent to subscribers.
+
+ Subscribing to a bug can be done by sending an email to
+ nnn-subscribe@bugs.debian.org. The subject and body of the email are
+ ignored by the BTS. Once this message is processed, users are sent a
+ confirmation message that they will need to reply to before they are
+ sent the messages relating to that bug.
+
+ It is also possible to unsubscribe from a bug. Unsubscribing can be
+ done by sending an email to nnn-unsubscribe@bugs.debian.org. The
+ subject and body of the email are again ignored by the BTS. Users will
+ be sent a confirmation message which they must reply to if they wish
+ to be unsubscribed from the bug.
+
+ By default, the address subscribed is the one found in the From
+ header. If you wish to subscribe another address to a bug, you will
+ need to encode the address to be subscribed into the subscription
+ message. This takes the form of:
+ nnn-subscribe-localpart=example.com@bugs.debian.org. That example
+ would send localpart@example.com a subscription message for bug nnn.
+ The @ sign must be encoded by changing it to an = sign. Similarly, an
+ unsubscription takes the form
+ nnn-unsubscribe-localpart=example.com@bugs.debian.org. In both cases,
+ the subject and body of the email will be forwarded to the email
+ address within the request for confirmation.
+
+More-or-less obsolete subject-scanning feature
+
+ Messages that arrive at submit or bugs whose Subject starts Bug#nnn
+ will be treated as having been sent to nnn@bugs.debian.org. This is
+ both for backwards compatibility with mail forwarded from the old
+ addresses, and to catch followup mail sent to submit by mistake (for
+ example, by using reply to all recipients).
+
+ A similar scheme operates for maintonly, done, quiet and forwarded,
+ which treat mail arriving with a Subject tag as having been sent to
+ the corresponding nnn-whatever@bugs.debian.org address.
+
+ Messages arriving at plain forwarded and done -- ie, with no bug
+ report number in the address -- and without a bug number in the
+ Subject will be filed under "junk" and kept for a few weeks, but
+ otherwise ignored.
+
+Obsolete X-Debian-PR: quiet feature
+
+ It used to be possible to prevent the bug tracking system from
+ forwarding anywhere messages it received at debian-bugs, by putting an
+ X-Debian-PR: quiet line in the actual mail header.
+
+ This header line is now ignored. Instead, send your message to quiet
+ or nnn-quiet (or maintonly or nnn-maintonly).

+Introduction to the bug control and manipulation mailserver
+
+ Just as request@bugs.debian.org allows the retrieval of bug data and
+ documentation by email, control@bugs.debian.org allows bug reports to
+ be manipulated in various ways.
+
+ The control server works just like the request server, except that it
+ has some additional commands; in fact, it's the same program. The two
+ addresses are only separated to avoid users making mistakes and
+ causing problems while merely trying to request information.
+
+ Since the commands specific to the control server actually change the
+ status of a bug, a notification about processing the commands is sent
+ to the maintainer of the package(s) the changed bugs are assigned to.
+ Additionally the mail to the server and the resulting changes are
+ logged in the bug report and thereby available in the WWW pages.
+
+ Please see the introduction to the request server available on the
+ World Wide Web, in the file bug-log-mailserver.txt, or by sending help
+ to either mailserver, for details of the basics of operating the
+ mailservers and the common commands available when mailing either
+ address.
+
+ The reference card for the mailservers is available via the WWW, in
+ bug-mailserver-refcard.txt or by email using the refcard command.

+
+ reassign bugnumber package [ version ]
+ Records that bug #bugnumber is a bug in package. This can be
+ used to set the package if the user forgot the pseudo-header,
+ or to change an earlier assignment. No notifications are sent
+ to anyone (other than the usual information in the processing
+ transcript).
+
+ If you supply a version, the bug tracking system will note that
+ the bug affects that version of the newly-assigned package.
+
+ You can assign a bug to two packages at once by separating the
+ package names with a comma. However, you should only do this if
+ the bug can be fixed by a change to either package. If this is
+ not the case, you should clone the bug and reassign the clone
+ to the other package.
+
+ reopen bugnumber [ originator-address | = | ! ]
+ Reopens #bugnumber if it is closed.
+
+ By default, or if you specify =, the original submitter is
+ still as the originator of the report, so that they will get
+ the ack when it is closed again.
+
+ If you supply an originator-address the originator will be set
+ to the address you supply. If you wish to become the new
+ originator of the reopened report you can use the ! shorthand
+ or specify your own email address.
+
+ It is usually a good idea to tell the person who is about to be
+ recorded as the originator that you're reopening the report, so
+ that they will know to expect the ack which they'll get when it
+ is closed again.
+
+ If the bug is not closed then reopen won't do anything, not
+ even change the originator. To change the originator of an open
+ bug report, use the submitter command; note that this will
+ inform the original submitter of the change.
+
+ If the bug was recorded as being closed in a particular version
+ of a package but recurred in a later version, it is better to
+ use the found command instead.
+
+ found bugnumber [ version ]
+ Record that #bugnumber has been encountered in the given
+ version of the package to which it is assigned.
+
+ The bug tracking system uses this information, in conjunction
+ with fixed versions recorded when closing bugs, to display
+ lists of bugs open in various versions of each package. It
+ considers a bug to be open when it has no fixed version, or
+ when it has been found more recently than it has been fixed.
+
+ If no version is given, then the list of fixed versions for the
+ bug is cleared. This is identical to the behaviour of reopen.
+
+ This command will only cause a bug to be marked as not done if
+ no version is specified, or if the version being marked found
+ is equal to the version which was last marked fixed. (If you
+ are certain that you want the bug marked as not done, use
+ reopen in conjunction with found.)
+
+ This command was introduced in preference to reopen because it
+ was difficult to add a version to that command's syntax without
+ suffering ambiguity.
+
+ notfound bugnumber version
+ Remove the record that #bugnumber was encountered in the given
+ version of the package to which it is assigned.
+
+ This differs from closing the bug at that version in that the
+ bug is not listed as fixed in that version either; no
+ information about that version will be known. It is intended
+ for fixing mistakes in the record of when a bug was found.
+
+ fixed bugnumber version
+ Indicate that bug #bugnumber was fixed in the given version of
+ the package to which it is assigned.
+
+ This does not cause the bug to be marked as closed, it merely
+ adds another version in which the bug was fixed. Use the
+ bugnumber-done address to close a bug and mark it fixed in a
+ particular version.
+
+ notfixed bugnumber version
+ Remove the record that bug #bugnumber has been fixed in the
+ given version.
+
+ This command is equivalent to found followed by notfound (the
+ found removes the fixed at a particular version, and notfound
+ removes the found.)
+
+ submitter bugnumber originator-address | !
+ Changes the originator of #bugnumber to originator-address.
+
+ If you wish to become the new originator of the report you can
+ use the ! shorthand or specify your own email address.
+
+ While the reopen command changes the originator of other bugs
+ merged with the one being reopened, submitter does not affect
+ merged bugs.
+
+ forwarded bugnumber address
+ Notes that bugnumber has been forwarded to the upstream
+ maintainer at address. This does not actually forward the
+ report. This can be used to change an existing incorrect
+ forwarded-to address, or to record a new one for a bug that
+ wasn't previously noted as having been forwarded.
+
+ notforwarded bugnumber
+ Forgets any idea that bugnumber has been forwarded to any
+ upstream maintainer. If the bug was not recorded as having been
+ forwarded then this will do nothing.
+
+ retitle bugnumber new-title
+ Changes the title of a bug report to that specified (the
+ default is the Subject mail header from the original report).
+
+ Unlike most of the other bug-manipulation commands when used on
+ one of a set of merged reports this will change the title of
+ only the individual bug requested, and not all those with which
+ it is merged.
+
+ severity bugnumber severity
+ Set the severity level for bug report #bugnumber to severity.
+ No notification is sent to the user who reported the bug.
+
+ Severities are critical, grave, serious, important, normal,
+ minor, and wishlist.
+
+ For their meanings please consult the general developers'
+ documentation for the bug system.
+
+ clone bugnumber NewID [ new IDs ... ]
+ The clone control command allows you to duplicate a bug report.
+ It is useful in the case where a single report actually
+ indicates that multiple distinct bugs have occurred. "New IDs"
+ are negative numbers, separated by spaces, which may be used in
+ subsequent control commands to refer to the newly duplicated
+ bugs. A new report is generated for each new ID.
+
+ Example usage:
+
+ clone 12345 -1 -2
+ reassign -1 foo
+ retitle -1 foo: foo sucks
+ reassign -2 bar
+ retitle -2 bar: bar sucks when used with foo
+ severity -2 wishlist
+ clone 123456 -3
+ reassign -3 foo
+ retitle -3 foo: foo sucks
+ merge -1 -3
+
+ merge bugnumber bugnumber ...
+ Merges two or more bug reports. When reports are merged
+ opening, closing, marking or unmarking as forwarded and
+ reassigning any of the bugs to a new package will have an
+ identical effect on all of the merged reports.
+
+ Before bugs can be merged they must be in exactly the same
+ state: either all open or all closed, with the same
+ forwarded-to upstream author address or all not marked as
+ forwarded, all assigned to the same package or package(s) (an
+ exact string comparison is done on the package to which the bug
+ is assigned), and all of the same severity. If they don't start
+ out in the same state you should use reassign, reopen and so
+ forth to make sure that they are before using merge. Titles are
+ not required to match, and will not be affected by the merge.
+ Tags are not required to match, either, they will be joined.
+
+ If any of the bugs listed in a merge command is already merged
+ with another bug then all the reports merged with any of the
+ ones listed will all be merged together. Merger is like
+ equality: it is reflexive, transitive and symmetric.
+
+ Merging reports causes a note to appear on each report's logs;
+ on the WWW pages this is includes links to the other bugs.
+
+ Merged reports are all expired simultaneously, and only when
+ all of the reports each separately meet the criteria for
+ expiry.
+
+ forcemerge bugnumber bugnumber ...
+ Forcibly merges two or more bug reports. The first bug listed
+ is the master bug, and its settings (the settings which must be
+ equal in a normal merge) are assigned to the bugs listed next.
+ To avoid typos erroneously merging bugs, bugs must be in the
+ same package. See the text above for a description of what
+ merging means.
+
+ Note that this makes it possible to close bugs by merging; you
+ are responsible for notifying submitters with an appropriate
+ close message if you do this.
+
+ unmerge bugnumber
+ Disconnects a bug report from any other reports with which it
+ may have been merged. If the report listed is merged with
+ several others then they are all left merged with each other;
+ only their associations with the bug explicitly named are
+ removed.
+
+ If many bug reports are merged and you wish to split them into
+ two separate groups of merged reports you must unmerge each
+ report in one of the new groups separately and then merge them
+ into the required new group.
+
+ You can only unmerge one report with each unmerge command; if
+ you want to disconnect more than one bug simply include several
+ unmerge commands in your message.
+
+ tags bugnumber [ + | - | = ] tag [ tag ... ]
+ Sets tags for the bug report #bugnumber. No notification is
+ sent to the user who reported the bug. Setting the action to +
+ means to add each given tag, - means to remove each given tag,
+ and = means to ignore the current tags and set them afresh to
+ the list provided. The default action is adding.
+
+ Example usage:
+
+ # same as 'tags 123456 + patch'
+ tags 123456 patch
+
+ # same as 'tags 123456 + help security'
+ tags 123456 help security
+
+ # add 'fixed' and 'pending' tags
+ tags 123456 + fixed pending
+
+ # remove 'unreproducible' tag
+ tags 123456 - unreproducible
+
+ # set tags to exactly 'moreinfo' and 'unreproducible'
+ tags 123456 = moreinfo unreproducible
+
+ Available tags currently include patch, wontfix, moreinfo,
+ unreproducible, help, pending, fixed, fixed-in-experimental,
+ fixed-upstream, security, upstream, confirmed, d-i, ipv6, lfs,
+ l10n, potato, woody, sarge, sarge-ignore, etch, etch-ignore,
+ sid, and experimental.
+
+ For their meanings please consult the general developers'
+ documentation for the bug system.
+
+ block bugnumber by bug ...
+ Note that the fix for the first bug is blocked by the other
+ listed bugs.
+
+ unblock bugnumber by bug ...
+ Note that the fix for the first bug is no longer blocked by the
+ other listed bugs.
+
+ close bugnumber [ fixed-version ] (deprecated)
+ Close bug report #bugnumber.
+
+ A notification is sent to the user who reported the bug, but
+ (in contrast to mailing bugnumber-done@bugs.debian.org) the
+ text of the mail which caused the bug to be closed is not
+ included in that notification. The maintainer who closes a
+ report needs to ensure, probably by sending a separate message,
+ that the user who reported the bug knows why it is being
+ closed. The use of this command is therefore deprecated. See
+ the developer's information about how to close a bug properly.
+
+ If you supply a fixed-version, the bug tracking system will
+ note that the bug was fixed in that version of the package.
+
+ package [ packagename ... ]
+ Limits the following commands so that they will only apply to
+ bugs filed against the listed packages. You can list one or
+ more packages. If you don't list any packages, the following
+ commands will apply to all bugs. You're encouraged to use this
+ as a safety feature in case you accidentally use the wrong bug
+ numbers.
+
+ Example usage:
+
+ package foo
+ reassign 123456 bar 1.0-1
+
+ package bar
+ retitle 123456 bar: bar sucks
+ severity 123456 normal
+
+ package
+ severity 234567 wishlist
+
+ owner bugnumber address | !
+ Sets address to be the "owner" of #bugnumber. The owner of a
+ bug claims responsibility for fixing it. This is useful to
+ share out work in cases where a package has a team of
+ maintainers.
+
+ If you wish to become the owner of the bug yourself, you can
+ use the ! shorthand or specify your own email address.
+
+ noowner bugnumber
+ Forgets any idea that the bug has an owner other than the usual
+ maintainer. If the bug had no owner recorded then this will do
+ nothing.
+
+ archive bugnumber
+ Archives a bug that had been archived at some point in the past
+ but is currently not archived if the bug fulfills the
+ requirements for archival, ignoring time.
+
+ unarchive bugnumber
+ Unarchives a bug that was previously archived. Unarchival
+ should generally be coupled with reopen and found/fixed as
+ appropriate. Bugs that have been unarchived can be archived
+ using archive assuming the non-time based archival requirements
+ are met.
+
+ #...
+ One-line comment. The # must be at the start of the line. The
+ text of comments will be included in the acknowledgement sent
+ to the sender and to affected maintainers, so you can use this
+ to document the reasons for your commands.
+
+ quit
+ stop
+ thank
+ thanks
+ thankyou
+ thank you
+ --
+ On a line by itself, in any case, possibly followed by
+ whitespace, tells the control server to stop processing the
+ message; the remainder of the message can include explanations,
+ signatures or anything else, none of it will be detected by the
+ control server.

+How to report a bug in Debian using reportbug
+
+ We strongly recommend that you report bugs in Debian using the
+ reportbug program. To install and start it, simply run:
+
+ aptitude install reportbug; reportbug
+
+ It will guide you through the bug reporting process step by step.
+
+ If you have questions that the interactive prompts of reportbug do not
+ resolve, you can refer to the rest of the documentation below or ask
+ the Debian user mailing list.
+
+How to report a bug in Debian using email (and advanced usage of reportbug)
+
+Important things to note before sending your bug report
+
+What package does your bug report belong to?
+
+ You need to know what package your bug report should be filed against.
+ See this example for information on how to find this information. (You
+ will use this information to see if your bug report has been filed
+ already.)
+
+ If you are unable to determine which package your bug report should be
+ filed against, please send e-mail to the Debian user mailing list
+ asking for advice.
+
+ If your problem doesn't relate just to one package but some general
+ Debian service, there are several pseudo-packages or even mailing
+ lists that you can use to relay your message to us instead.
+
+Has your bug report been filed already?
+
+ You should check to see if your bug report has already been filed
+ before submitting it. You can see which bugs have been filed in a
+ specific package using the package option of the bug search form. If
+ there is an existing bug report #<number>, you should submit your
+ comments by sending e-mail to <number>@bugs.debian.org instead of
+ reporting a new bug.
+
+Send multiple reports for multiple bugs
+
+ Please don't report multiple unrelated bugs -- especially ones in
+ different packages -- in a single bug report.
+
+Don't file bugs upstream
+
+ If you file a bug in Debian, don't send a copy to the upstream
+ software maintainers yourself, as it is possible that the bug exists
+ only in Debian. If necessary, the maintainer of the package will
+ forward the bug upstream.
+
+Sending the bug report via e-mail
+
+ You can report bugs in Debian by sending an e-mail to
+ submit@bugs.debian.org with a special format described below.
+ reportbug (see above) will properly format the e-mails for you; please
+ use it!
+
+Headers
+
+ Like any e-mail you should include a clear, descriptive Subject line
+ in your main mail header. The subject you give will be used as the
+ initial bug title in the tracking system, so please try to make it
+ informative!
+
+ If you'd like to send a copy of your bug report to additional
+ recipients (such as mailing lists), you shouldn't use the usual e-mail
+ headers, but a different method, described below.
+
+Pseudo-headers
+
+ The first part of the bug report are the pseudo-headers which contain
+ information about what package and version your bug report applies to.
+ The first line of the message body has to include a pseudo-header. It
+ should say:
+Package: <packagename>
+
+ Replace <packagename> with the name of the package which has the bug.
+
+ The second line of the message should say:
+Version: <packageversion>
+
+ Replace <packageversion> with the version of the package. Please don't
+ include any text here other than the version itself, as the bug
+ tracking system relies on this field to work out which releases are
+ affected by the bug.
+
+ You need to supply a correct Package line in the pseudo-header in
+ order for the bug tracking system to deliver the message to the
+ package's maintainer. See this example for information on how to find
+ this information.
+
+ For other valid pseudo-headers, see Additional pseudo-headers
+
+The body of the report
+
+ Please include in your report:
+ * The exact and complete text of any error messages printed or
+ logged. This is very important!
+ * Exactly what you typed or did to demonstrate the problem.
+ * A description of the incorrect behavior: exactly what behavior you
+ were expecting, and what you observed. A transcript of an example
+ session is a good way of showing this.
+ * A suggested fix, or even a patch, if you have one.
+ * Details of the configuration of the program with the problem.
+ Include the complete text of its configuration files.
+ * The versions of any packages on which the buggy package depends.
+ * What kernel version you're using (type uname -a), your shared C
+ library (type ls -l /lib/libc.so.6 or dpkg -s libc6 | grep
+ ^Version), and any other details about your Debian system, if it
+ seems appropriate. For example, if you had a problem with a Perl
+ script, you would want to provide the version of the `perl' binary
+ (type perl -v or dpkg -s perl | grep ^Version:).
+ * Appropriate details of the hardware in your system. If you're
+ reporting a problem with a device driver please list all the
+ hardware in your system, as problems are often caused by IRQ and
+ I/O address conflicts.
+ * If you have reportbug installed the output of reportbug -q
+ --template -T none -s none -S normal -b --list-cc none -q
+ <package> will also be useful, as it contains the output of
+ maintainer specific scripts and version information.
+
+ Include any detail that seems relevant -- you are in very little
+ danger of making your report too long by including too much
+ information. If they are small, please include in your report any
+ files you were using to reproduce the problem. (If they are large,
+ consider making them available on a publicly available website if
+ possible.)
+
+ For more advice on how to help the developers solve your problem,
+ please read How to Report Bugs Effectively.
+
+An Example Bug Report
+
+ A bug report with header and pseudo-header looks something like this:
+ To: submit@bugs.debian.org
+ From: diligent@testing.linux.org
+ Subject: Hello says `goodbye'
+
+ Package: hello
+ Version: 1.3-16
+
+ When I invoke `hello' without arguments from an ordinary shell
+ prompt it prints `goodbye', rather than the expected `hello, world'.
+ Here is a transcript:
+
+ $ hello
+ goodbye
+ $ /usr/bin/hello
+ goodbye
+ $
+
+ I suggest that the output string, in hello.c, be corrected.
+
+ I am using Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, kernel 2.2.17-pre-patch-13
+ and libc6 2.1.3-10.
+
+Sending copies of bug reports to other addresses
+
+ Sometimes it is necessary to send a copy of a bug report to somewhere
+ else besides debian-bugs-dist and the package maintainer, which is
+ where they are normally sent.
+
+ You could do this by CC'ing your bug report to the other address(es),
+ but then the other copies would not have the bug report number put in
+ the Reply-To field and the Subject line. When the recipients reply
+ they will probably preserve the submit@bugs.debian.org entry in the
+ header and have their message filed as a new bug report. This leads to
+ many duplicated reports.
+
+ The right way to do this is to use the X-Debbugs-CC header. Add a line
+ like this to your message's mail header:
+ X-Debbugs-CC: other-list@cosmic.edu
+
+ This will cause the bug tracking system to send a copy of your report
+ to the address(es) in the X-Debbugs-CC line as well as to
+ debian-bugs-dist.
+
+ Avoid sending such copies to the addresses of other bug reports, as
+ they will be caught by the checks that prevent mail loops. There is
+ relatively little point in using X-Debbugs-CC for this anyway, as the
+ bug number added by that mechanism will just be replaced by a new one;
+ use an ordinary CC header instead.
+
+ This feature can often be combined usefully with mailing quiet -- see
+ below.
+
+Additional Pseudoheaders
+
+Severity levels
+
+ If a report is of a particularly serious bug, or is merely a feature
+ request, you can set the severity level of the bug as you report it.
+ This is not required however, and the package maintainer will assign
+ an appropriate severity level to your report even if you do not (or
+ pick the wrong severity).
+
+ To assign a severity level, put a line like this one in the
+ pseudo-header:
+Severity: <severity>
+
+ Replace <severity> with one of the available severity levels, as
+ described in the advanced documentation.
+
+Assigning tags
+
+ You can set tags on a bug as you are reporting it. For example, if you
+ are including a patch with your bug report, you may wish to set the
+ patch tag. This is not required, however, and the developers will set
+ tags on your report as and when it is appropriate.
+
+ To set tags, put a line like this one in the pseudo-header:
+Tags: <tags>
+
+ Replace <tags> with one or more of the available tags, as described in
+ the advanced documentation. Separate multiple tags with commas,
+ spaces, or both.
+User: <username>
+Usertags: <usertags>
+
+ Replace <usertags> with one or more usertags. Separate multiple tags
+ with commas, spaces, or both. If you specify a <username>, that user's
+ tags will be set. Otherwise, the e-mail address of the sender will be
+ used as the username.
+Forwarded: foo@example.com
+
+ will mark the newly submitted bug as forwarded to foo@example.com. See
+ Recording that you have passed on a bug report in the developers'
+ documentation for details.
+Owner: foo@example.com
+
+ will indicate that foo@example.com is now responsible for fixing this
+ bug. See Changing bug ownership in the developers' documentation for
+ details.
+Source: foopackage
+
+ the equivalent of Package: for bugs present in the source package of
+ foopackage; for most bugs in most packages you don't want to use this
+ option.
+
+ Finally, if your MUA doesn't allow you to edit the headers, you can
+ set the various X-Debbugs- headers in the pseudo-headers.
+
+Additional information
+
+Different submission addresses (minor or mass bug reports)
+
+ If a bug report is minor, for example, a documentation typo or a
+ trivial build problem, please adjust the severity appropriately and
+ send it to maintonly@bugs.debian.org instead of
+ submit@bugs.debian.org. maintonly will forward the report to the
+ package maintainer only, it won't forward it to the BTS mailing lists.
+
+ If you're submitting many reports at once, you should definitely use
+ maintonly@bugs.debian.org so that you don't cause too much redundant
+ traffic on the BTS mailing lists. Before submitting many similar bugs
+ you may also want to post a summary on debian-bugs-dist.
+
+ If wish to report a bug to the bug tracking system that's already been
+ sent to the maintainer, you can use quiet@bugs.debian.org. Bugs sent
+ to quiet@bugs.debian.org will not be forwarded anywhere, only filed.
+
+ When you use different submission addresses, the bug tracking system
+ will set the Reply-To of any forwarded message so that the replies
+ will by default be processed in the same way as the original report.
+ That means that, for example, replies to maintonly will go to
+ nnn-maintonly@bugs.debian.org instead of nnn@bugs.debian.org, unless
+ of course one overrides this manually.
+
+Acknowledgements
+
+ Normally, the bug tracking system will return an acknowledgement to
+ you by e-mail when you report a new bug or submit additional
+ information to an existing bug. If you want to suppress this
+ acknowledgement, include an X-Debbugs-No-Ack header in your e-mail
+ (the contents of this header do not matter; however, it must be in the
+ mail header and not in the pseudo-header with the Package field). If
+ you report a new bug with this header, you will need to check the web
+ interface yourself to find the bug number.
+
+ Note that this header will not suppress acknowledgements from the
+ control@bugs.debian.org mailserver, since those acknowledgements may
+ contain error messages which should be read and acted upon.
+
+Bug reports against unknown packages
+
+ If the bug tracking system doesn't know who the maintainer of the
+ relevant package is it will forward the report to debian-bugs-dist
+ even if maintonly was used.
+
+ When sending to maintonly@bugs.debian.org or
+ nnn-maintonly@bugs.debian.org you should make sure that the bug report
+ is assigned to the right package, by putting a correct Package at the
+ top of an original submission of a report, or by using the
+ control@bugs.debian.org service to (re)assign the report
+ appropriately.
+
+Using dpkg to find the package and version for the report
+
+ When using reportbug to report a bug in a command, say grep, the
+ following will automatically select the right package and let you
+ write the report right away: reportbug --file $(which grep)
+
+ You can also find out which package installed it by using dpkg
+ --search. You can find out which version of a package you have
+ installed by using dpkg --list or dpkg --status.
+
+ For example:
+$ which apt-get
+/usr/bin/apt-get
+$ type apt-get
+apt-get is /usr/bin/apt-get
+$ dpkg --search /usr/bin/apt-get
+apt: /usr/bin/apt-get
+$ dpkg --list apt
+Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
+| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
+|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

+Description: Advanced front-end for dpkg
+ This is Debian's next generation front-end for the dpkg package manager.
+ It provides the apt-get utility and APT dselect method that provides a
+ simpler, safer way to install and upgrade packages.
+ .
+ APT features complete installation ordering, multiple source capability
+ and several other unique features, see the Users Guide in
+ /usr/doc/apt/guide.text.gz
+
+Other useful commands and packages
+
+ The querybts tool, available from the same package as reportbug,
+ provides a convenient text-based interface to the bug tracking system.
+
+ Emacs users can also use the debian-bug command provided by the
+ debian-el package. When called with M-x debian-bug, it will ask for
+ all necessary information in a similar way to reportbug.

+ Historical version of the Constitution for the Debian Project (v1.2)
+
+ Version 1.2 ratified on October 29th, 2003. Supersedes Version 1.1
+ ratified on June 21st, 2003, which itself supersedes Version 1.0
+ ratified on December 2nd, 1998. Superseded by version 1.3, ratified on
+ September 24th, 2006. That was superceded by the current version, 1.4
+ ratified on October 7th, 2007.
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made
+ common cause to create a free operating system.
+
+ This document describes the organisational structure for formal
+ decision-making in the Project. It does not describe the goals of the
+ Project or how it achieves them, or contain any policies except those
+ directly related to the decision-making process.
+
+2. Decision-making bodies and individuals
+
+ Each decision in the Project is made by one or more of the following:
+ 1. The Developers, by way of General Resolution or an election;
+ 2. The Project Leader;
+ 3. The Technical Committee and/or its Chairman;
+ 4. The individual Developer working on a particular task;
+ 5. Delegates appointed by the Project Leader for specific tasks;
+ 6. The Project Secretary.
+
+ Most of the remainder of this document will outline the powers of these
+ bodies, their composition and appointment, and the procedure for their
+ decision-making. The powers of a person or body may be subject to
+ review and/or limitation by others; in this case the reviewing body or
+ person's entry will state this. In the list above, a person or body is
+ usually listed before any people or bodies whose decisions they can
+ overrule or who they (help) appoint - but not everyone listed earlier
+ can overrule everyone listed later.
+
+ 2.1. General rules
+
+ 1. Nothing in this constitution imposes an obligation on anyone to do
+ work for the Project. A person who does not want to do a task which
+ has been delegated or assigned to them does not need to do it.
+ However, they must not actively work against these rules and
+ decisions properly made under them.
+ 2. A person may hold several posts, except that the Project Leader,
+ Project Secretary and the Chairman of the Technical Committee must
+ be distinct, and that the Leader cannot appoint themselves as their
+ own Delegate.
+ 3. A person may leave the Project or resign from a particular post
+ they hold, at any time, by stating so publicly.
+
+3. Individual Developers
+
+ 3.1. Powers
+
+ An individual Developer may
+ 1. make any technical or nontechnical decision with regard to their
+ own work;
+ 2. propose or sponsor draft General Resolutions;
+ 3. propose themselves as a Project Leader candidate in elections;
+ 4. vote on General Resolutions and in Leadership elections.
+
+ 3.2. Composition and appointment
+
+ 1. Developers are volunteers who agree to further the aims of the
+ Project insofar as they participate in it, and who maintain
+ package(s) for the Project or do other work which the Project
+ Leader's Delegate(s) consider worthwhile.
+ 2. The Project Leader's Delegate(s) may choose not to admit new
+ Developers, or expel existing Developers. If the Developers feel
+ that the Delegates are abusing their authority they can of course
+ override the decision by way of General Resolution - see §4.1(3),
+ §4.2.
+
+ 3.3. Procedure
+
+ Developers may make these decisions as they see fit.
+
+4. The Developers by way of General Resolution or election
+
+ 4.1. Powers
+
+ Together, the Developers may:
+ 1. Appoint or recall the Project Leader.
+ 2. Amend this constitution, provided they agree with a 3:1 majority.
+ 3. Override any decision by the Project Leader or a Delegate.
+ 4. Override any decision by the Technical Committee, provided they
+ agree with a 2:1 majority.
+ 5. Issue, supersede and withdraw nontechnical policy documents and
+ statements.
+ These include documents describing the goals of the project, its
+ relationship with other free software entities, and nontechnical
+ policies such as the free software licence terms that Debian
+ software must meet.
+ They may also include position statements about issues of the day.
+ 1. A Foundation Document is a document or statement regarded as
+ critical to the Project's mission and purposes.
+ 2. The Foundation Documents are the works entitled "Debian Social
+ Contract" and "Debian Free Software Guidelines".
+ 3. A Foundation Document requires a 3:1 majority for its
+ supersession. New Foundation Documents are issued and existing
+ ones withdrawn by amending the list of Foundation Documents in
+ this constitution.
+ 6. Together with the Project Leader and SPI, make decisions about
+ property held in trust for purposes related to Debian. (See §9.1.)
+
+ 4.2. Procedure
+
+ 1. The Developers follow the Standard Resolution Procedure, below. A
+ resolution or amendment is introduced if proposed by any Developer
+ and sponsored by at least K other Developers, or if proposed by the
+ Project Leader or the Technical Committee.
+ 2. Delaying a decision by the Project Leader or their Delegate:
+ 1. If the Project Leader or their Delegate, or the Technical
+ Committee, has made a decision, then Developers can override
+ them by passing a resolution to do so; see §4.1(3).
+ 2. If such a resolution is sponsored by at least 2K Developers,
+ or if it is proposed by the Technical Committee, the
+ resolution puts the decision immediately on hold (provided
+ that resolution itself says so).
+ 3. If the original decision was to change a discussion period or
+ a voting period, or the resolution is to override the
+ Technical Committee, then only K Developers need to sponsor
+ the resolution to be able to put the decision immediately on
+ hold.
+ 4. If the decision is put on hold, an immediate vote is held to
+ determine whether the decision will stand until the full vote
+ on the decision is made or whether the implementation of the
+ original decision will be delayed until then. There is no
+ quorum for this immediate procedural vote.
+ 5. If the Project Leader (or the Delegate) withdraws the original
+ decision, the vote becomes moot, and is no longer conducted.
+ 3. Votes are taken by the Project Secretary. Votes, tallies, and
+ results are not revealed during the voting period; after the vote
+ the Project Secretary lists all the votes cast. The voting period
+ is 2 weeks, but may be varied by up to 1 week by the Project
+ Leader.
+ 4. The minimum discussion period is 2 weeks, but may be varied by up
+ to 1 week by the Project Leader. The Project Leader has a casting
+ vote. There is a quorum of 3Q.
+ 5. Proposals, sponsors, amendments, calls for votes and other formal
+ actions are made by announcement on a publicly-readable electronic
+ mailing list designated by the Project Leader's Delegate(s); any
+ Developer may post there.
+ 6. Votes are cast by email in a manner suitable to the Secretary. The
+ Secretary determines for each poll whether voters can change their
+ votes.
+ 7. Q is half of the square root of the number of current Developers. K
+ is Q or 5, whichever is the smaller. Q and K need not be integers
+ and are not rounded.
+
+5. Project Leader
+
+ 5.1. Powers
+
+ The Project Leader may:
+ 1. Appoint Delegates or delegate decisions to the Technical Committee.
+ The Leader may define an area of ongoing responsibility or a
+ specific decision and hand it over to another Developer or to the
+ Technical Committee.
+ Once a particular decision has been delegated and made the Project
+ Leader may not withdraw that delegation; however, they may withdraw
+ an ongoing delegation of particular area of responsibility.
+ 2. Lend authority to other Developers.
+ The Project Leader may make statements of support for points of
+ view or for other members of the project, when asked or otherwise;
+ these statements have force if and only if the Leader would be
+ empowered to make the decision in question.
+ 3. Make any decision which requires urgent action.
+ This does not apply to decisions which have only become gradually
+ urgent through lack of relevant action, unless there is a fixed
+ deadline.
+ 4. Make any decision for whom noone else has responsibility.
+ 5. Propose draft General Resolutions and amendments.
+ 6. Together with the Technical Committee, appoint new members to the
+ Committee. (See §6.2.)
+ 7. Use a casting vote when Developers vote.
+ The Project Leader also has a normal vote in such ballots.
+ 8. Vary the discussion period for Developers' votes (as above).
+ 9. Lead discussions amongst Developers.
+ The Project Leader should attempt to participate in discussions
+ amongst the Developers in a helpful way which seeks to bring the
+ discussion to bear on the key issues at hand. The Project Leader
+ should not use the Leadership position to promote their own
+ personal views.
+ 10. Together with SPI, make decisions affecting property held in trust
+ for purposes related to Debian. (See §9.1.)
+
+ 5.2. Appointment
+
+ 1. The Project Leader is elected by the Developers.
+ 2. The election begins nine weeks before the leadership post becomes
+ vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately.
+ 3. For the following three weeks any Developer may nominate themselves
+ as a candidate Project Leader.
+ 4. For three weeks after that no more candidates may be nominated;
+ candidates should use this time for campaigning (to make their
+ identities and positions known). If there are no candidates at the
+ end of the nomination period then the nomination period is extended
+ for three further weeks, repeatedly if necessary.
+ 5. The next three weeks are the polling period during which Developers
+ may cast their votes. Votes in leadership elections are kept
+ secret, even after the election is finished.
+ 6. The options on the ballot will be those candidates who have
+ nominated themselves and have not yet withdrawn, plus None Of The
+ Above. If None Of The Above wins the election then the election
+ procedure is repeated, many times if necessary.
+ 7. The decision will be made using the method specified in section
+ §A.6 of the Standard Resolution Procedure. The quorum is the same
+ as for a General Resolution (§4.2) and the default option is "None
+ Of The Above".
+ 8. The Project Leader serves for one year from their election.
+
+ 5.3. Procedure
+
+ The Project Leader should attempt to make decisions which are
+ consistent with the consensus of the opinions of the Developers.
+
+ Where practical the Project Leader should informally solicit the views
+ of the Developers.
+
+ The Project Leader should avoid overemphasizing their own point of view
+ when making decisions in their capacity as Leader.
+
+6. Technical committee
+
+ 6.1. Powers
+
+ The Technical Committee may:
+ 1. Decide on any matter of technical policy.
+ This includes the contents of the technical policy manuals,
+ developers' reference materials, example packages and the behaviour
+ of non-experimental package building tools. (In each case the usual
+ maintainer of the relevant software or documentation makes
+ decisions initially, however; see 6.3(5).)
+ 2. Decide any technical matter where Developers' jurisdictions
+ overlap.
+ In cases where Developers need to implement compatible technical
+ policies or stances (for example, if they disagree about the
+ priorities of conflicting packages, or about ownership of a command
+ name, or about which package is responsible for a bug that both
+ maintainers agree is a bug, or about who should be the maintainer
+ for a package) the technical committee may decide the matter.
+ 3. Make a decision when asked to do so.
+ Any person or body may delegate a decision of their own to the
+ Technical Committee, or seek advice from it.
+ 4. Overrule a Developer (requires a 3:1 majority).
+ The Technical Committee may ask a Developer to take a particular
+ technical course of action even if the Developer does not wish to;
+ this requires a 3:1 majority. For example, the Committee may
+ determine that a complaint made by the submitter of a bug is
+ justified and that the submitter's proposed solution should be
+ implemented.
+ 5. Offer advice.
+ The Technical Committee may make formal announcements about its
+ views on any matter. Individual members may of course make informal
+ statements about their views and about the likely views of the
+ committee.
+ 6. Together with the Project Leader, appoint new members to itself or
+ remove existing members. (See §6.2.)
+ 7. Appoint the Chairman of the Technical Committee.
+ The Chairman is elected by the Committee from its members. All
+ members of the committee are automatically nominated; the committee
+ votes starting one week before the post will become vacant (or
+ immediately, if it is already too late). The members may vote by
+ public acclamation for any fellow committee member, including
+ themselves; there is no default option. The vote finishes when all
+ the members have voted, or when the voting period has ended. The
+ result is determined using the method specified in section A.6 of
+ the Standard Resolution Procedure.
+ 8. The Chairman can stand in for the Leader, together with the
+ Secretary
+ As detailed in §7.1(2), the Chairman of the Technical Committee and
+ the Project Secretary may together stand in for the Leader if there
+ is no Leader.
+
+ 6.2. Composition
+
+ 1. The Technical Committee consists of up to 8 Developers, and should
+ usually have at least 4 members.
+ 2. When there are fewer than 8 members the Technical Committee may
+ recommend new member(s) to the Project Leader, who may choose
+ (individually) to appoint them or not.
+ 3. When there are 5 members or fewer the Technical Committee may
+ appoint new member(s) until the number of members reaches 6.
+ 4. When there have been 5 members or fewer for at least one week the
+ Project Leader may appoint new member(s) until the number of
+ members reaches 6, at intervals of at least one week per
+ appointment.
+ 5. If the Technical Committee and the Project Leader agree they may
+ remove or replace an existing member of the Technical Committee.
+
+ 6.3. Procedure
+
+ 1. The Technical Committee uses the Standard Resolution Procedure.
+ A draft resolution or amendment may be proposed by any member of
+ the Technical Committee. There is no minimum discussion period; the
+ voting period lasts for up to one week, or until the outcome is no
+ longer in doubt. Members may change their votes. There is a quorum
+ of two.
+ 2. Details regarding voting
+ The Chairman has a casting vote. When the Technical Committee votes
+ whether to override a Developer who also happens to be a member of
+ the Committee, that member may not vote (unless they are the
+ Chairman, in which case they may use only their casting vote).
+ 3. Public discussion and decision-making.
+ Discussion, draft resolutions and amendments, and votes by members
+ of the committee, are made public on the Technical Committee public
+ discussion list. There is no separate secretary for the Committee.
+ 4. Confidentiality of appointments.
+ The Technical Committee may hold confidential discussions via
+ private email or a private mailing list or other means to discuss
+ appointments to the Committee. However, votes on appointments must
+ be public.
+ 5. No detailed design work.
+ The Technical Committee does not engage in design of new proposals
+ and policies. Such design work should be carried out by individuals
+ privately or together and discussed in ordinary technical policy
+ and design forums.
+ The Technical Committee restricts itself to choosing from or
+ adopting compromises between solutions and decisions which have
+ been proposed and reasonably thoroughly discussed elsewhere.
+ Individual members of the technical committee may of course
+ participate on their own behalf in any aspect of design and policy
+ work.
+ 6. Technical Committee makes decisions only as last resort.
+ The Technical Committee does not make a technical decision until
+ efforts to resolve it via consensus have been tried and failed,
+ unless it has been asked to make a decision by the person or body
+ who would normally be responsible for it.
+
+7. The Project Secretary
+
+ 7.1. Powers
+
+ The Secretary:
+ 1. Takes votes amongst the Developers, and determines the number and
+ identity of Developers, whenever this is required by the
+ constitution.
+ 2. Can stand in for the Leader, together with the Chairman of the
+ Technical Committee.
+ If there is no Project Leader then the Chairman of the Technical
+ Committee and the Project Secretary may by joint agreement make
+ decisions if they consider it imperative to do so.
+ 3. Adjudicates any disputes about interpretation of the constitution.
+ 4. May delegate part or all of their authority to someone else, or
+ withdraw such a delegation at any time.
+
+ 7.2. Appointment
+
+ The Project Secretary is appointed by the Project Leader and the
+ current Project Secretary.
+
+ If the Project Leader and the current Project Secretary cannot agree on
+ a new appointment they must ask the board of SPI (see §9.1.) to appoint
+ a Secretary.
+
+ If there is no Project Secretary or the current Secretary is
+ unavailable and has not delegated authority for a decision then the
+ decision may be made or delegated by the Chairman of the Technical
+ Committee, as Acting Secretary.
+
+ The Project Secretary's term of office is 1 year, at which point they
+ or another Secretary must be (re)appointed.
+
+ 7.3. Procedure
+
+ The Project Secretary should make decisions which are fair and
+ reasonable, and preferably consistent with the consensus of the
+ Developers.
+
+ When acting together to stand in for an absent Project Leader the
+ Chairman of the Technical Committee and the Project Secretary should
+ make decisions only when absolutely necessary and only when consistent
+ with the consensus of the Developers.
+
+8. The Project Leader's Delegates
+
+ 8.1. Powers
+
+ The Project Leader's Delegates:
+ 1. have powers delegated to them by the Project Leader;
+ 2. may make certain decisions which the Leader may not make directly,
+ including approving or expelling Developers or designating people
+ as Developers who do not maintain packages. This is to avoid
+ concentration of power, particularly over membership as a
+ Developer, in the hands of the Project Leader.
+
+ 8.2. Appointment
+
+ The Delegates are appointed by the Project Leader and may be replaced
+ by the Leader at the Leader's discretion. The Project Leader may not
+ make the position as a Delegate conditional on particular decisions by
+ the Delegate, nor may they override a decision made by a Delegate once
+ made.
+
+ 8.3. Procedure
+
+ Delegates may make decisions as they see fit, but should attempt to
+ implement good technical decisions and/or follow consensus opinion.
+
+9. Software in the Public Interest
+
+ SPI and Debian are separate organisations who share some goals. Debian
+ is grateful for the legal support framework offered by SPI. Debian's
+ Developers are currently members of SPI by virtue of their status as
+ Developers.
+
+ 9.1. Authority
+
+ 1. SPI has no authority regarding Debian's technical or nontechnical
+ decisions, except that no decision by Debian with respect to any
+ property held by SPI shall require SPI to act outside its legal
+ authority, and that Debian's constitution may occasionally use SPI
+ as a decision body of last resort.
+ 2. Debian claims no authority over SPI other than that over the use of
+ certain of SPI's property, as described below, though Debian
+ Developers may be granted authority within SPI by SPI's rules.
+ 3. Debian Developers are not agents or employees of SPI, or of each
+ other or of persons in authority in the Debian Project. A person
+ acting as a Developer does so as an individual, on their own
+ behalf.
+
+ 9.2. Management of property for purposes related to Debian
+
+ Since Debian has no authority to hold money or property, any donations
+ for the Debian Project must be made to SPI, which manages such affairs.
+
+ SPI have made the following undertakings:
+ 1. SPI will hold money, trademarks and other tangible and intangible
+ property and manage other affairs for purposes related to Debian.
+ 2. Such property will be accounted for separately and held in trust
+ for those purposes, decided on by Debian and SPI according to this
+ section.
+ 3. SPI will not dispose of or use property held in trust for Debian
+ without approval from Debian, which may be granted by the Project
+ Leader or by General Resolution of the Developers.
+ 4. SPI will consider using or disposing of property held in trust for
+ Debian when asked to do so by the Project Leader.
+ 5. SPI will use or dispose of property held in trust for Debian when
+ asked to do so by a General Resolution of the Developers, provided
+ that this is compatible with SPI's legal authority.
+ 6. SPI will notify the Developers by electronic mail to a Debian
+ Project mailing list when it uses or disposes of property held in
+ trust for Debian.
+
+A. Standard Resolution Procedure
+
+ These rules apply to communal decision-making by committees and
+ plebiscites, where stated above.
+
+ A.1. Proposal
+
+ The formal procedure begins when a draft resolution is proposed and
+ sponsored, as required.
+
+ A.1. Discussion and Amendment
+
+ 1. Following the proposal, the resolution may be discussed. Amendments
+ may be made formal by being proposed and sponsored according to the
+ requirements for a new resolution, or directly by the proposer of
+ the original resolution.
+ 2. A formal amendment may be accepted by the resolution's proposer, in
+ which case the formal resolution draft is immediately changed to
+ match.
+ 3. If a formal amendment is not accepted, or one of the sponsors of
+ the resolution does not agree with the acceptance by the proposer
+ of a formal amendment, the amendment remains as an amendment and
+ will be voted on.
+ 4. If an amendment accepted by the original proposer is not to the
+ liking of others, they may propose another amendment to reverse the
+ earlier change (again, they must meet the requirements for proposer
+ and sponsor(s).)
+ 5. The proposer of a resolution may suggest changes to the wordings of
+ amendments; these take effect if the proposer of the amendment
+ agrees and none of the sponsors object. In this case the changed
+ amendments will be voted on instead of the originals.
+ 6. The proposer of a resolution may make changes to correct minor
+ errors (for example, typographical errors or inconsistencies) or
+ changes which do not alter the meaning, providing noone objects
+ within 24 hours. In this case the minimum discussion period is not
+ restarted.
+
+ A.2. Calling for a vote
+
+ 1. The proposer or a sponsor of a motion or an amendment may call for
+ a vote, providing that the minimum discussion period (if any) has
+ elapsed.
+ 2. The proposer or any sponsor of a resolution may call for a vote on
+ that resolution and all related amendments.
+ 3. The person who calls for a vote states what they believe the
+ wordings of the resolution and any relevant amendments are, and
+ consequently what form the ballot should take. However, the final
+ decision on the form of ballot(s) is the Secretary's - see 7.1(1),
+ 7.1(3) and A.3(4).
+ 4. The minimum discussion period is counted from the time the last
+ formal amendment was accepted, or since the whole resolution was
+ proposed if no amendments have been proposed and accepted.
+
+ A.3. Voting procedure
+
+ 1. Each resolution and its related amendments is voted on in a single
+ ballot that includes an option for the original resolution, each
+ amendment, and the default option (where applicable).
+ 2. The default option must not have any supermajority requirements.
+ Options which do not have an explicit supermajority requirement
+ have a 1:1 majority requirement.
+ 3. The votes are counted according to the rules in A.6. The default
+ option is "Further Discussion", unless specified otherwise.
+ 4. In cases of doubt the Project Secretary shall decide on matters of
+ procedure.
+
+ A.4. Withdrawing resolutions or unaccepted amendments
+
+ The proposer of a resolution or unaccepted amendment may withdraw it.
+ In this case new proposers may come forward keep it alive, in which
+ case the first person to do so becomes the new proposer and any others
+ become sponsors if they aren't sponsors already.
+
+ A sponsor of a resolution or amendment (unless it has been accepted)
+ may withdraw.
+
+ If the withdrawal of the proposer and/or sponsors means that a
+ resolution has no proposer or not enough sponsors it will not be voted
+ on unless this is rectified before the resolution expires.
+
+ A.5. Expiry
+
+ If a proposed resolution has not been discussed, amended, voted on or
+ otherwise dealt with for 4 weeks the secretary may issue a statement
+ that the issue is being withdrawn. If none of the sponsors of any of
+ the proposals object within a week, the issue is withdrawn.
+
+ The secretary may also include suggestions on how to proceed, if
+ appropriate.
+
+ A.6. Vote Counting
+
+ 1. Each voter's ballot ranks the options being voted on. Not all
+ options need be ranked. Ranked options are considered preferred to
+ all unranked options. Voters may rank options equally. Unranked
+ options are considered to be ranked equally with one another.
+ Details of how ballots may be filled out will be included in the
+ Call For Votes.
+ 2. If the ballot has a quorum requirement R any options other than the
+ default option which do not receive at least R votes ranking that
+ option above the default option are dropped from consideration.
+ 3. Any (non-default) option which does not defeat the default option
+ by its required majority ratio is dropped from consideration.
+ 1. Given two options A and B, V(A,B) is the number of voters who
+ prefer option A over option B.
+ 2. An option A defeats the default option D by a majority ratio
+ N, if V(A,D) is strictly greater than N * V(D,A).
+ 3. If a supermajority of S:1 is required for A, its majority
+ ratio is S; otherwise, its majority ratio is 1.
+ 4. From the list of undropped options, we generate a list of pairwise
+ defeats.
+ 1. An option A defeats an option B, if V(A,B) is strictly greater
+ than V(B,A).
+ 5. From the list of [undropped] pairwise defeats, we generate a set of
+ transitive defeats.
+ 1. An option A transitively defeats an option C if A defeats C or
+ if there is some other option B where A defeats B AND B
+ transitively defeats C.
+ 6. We construct the Schwartz set from the set of transitive defeats.
+ 1. An option A is in the Schwartz set if for all options B,
+ either A transitively defeats B, or B does not transitively
+ defeat A.
+ 7. If there are defeats between options in the Schwartz set, we drop
+ the weakest such defeats from the list of pairwise defeats, and
+ return to step 5.
+ 1. A defeat (A,X) is weaker than a defeat (B,Y) if V(A,X) is less
+ than V(B,Y). Also, (A,X) is weaker than (B,Y) if V(A,X) is
+ equal to V(B,Y) and V(X,A) is greater than V(Y,B).
+ 2. A weakest defeat is a defeat that has no other defeat weaker
+ than it. There may be more than one such defeat.
+ 8. If there are no defeats within the Schwartz set, then the winner is
+ chosen from the options in the Schwartz set. If there is only one
+ such option, it is the winner. If there are multiple options, the
+ elector with the casting vote chooses which of those options wins.
+
+ Note: Options which the voters rank above the default option are
+ options they find acceptable. Options ranked below the default options
+ are options they find unacceptable.
+
+ When the Standard Resolution Procedure is to be used, the text which
+ refers to it must specify what is sufficient to have a draft resolution
+ proposed and/or sponsored, what the minimum discussion period is, and
+ what the voting period is. It must also specify any supermajority
+ and/or the quorum (and default option) to be used.
+
+B. Use of language and typography
+
+ The present indicative ("is", for example) means that the statement is
+ a rule in this constitution. "ay" or "can" indicates that the person or
+ body has discretion. "Should" means that it would be considered a good
+ thing if the sentence were obeyed, but it is not binding. Text marked
+ as a citation, such as this, is rationale and does not form part of the
+ constitution. It may be used only to aid interpretation in cases of
+ doubt.

+The Debian Manifesto
+********************
+
+
+ The Debian Linux Manifesto
+
+ Written by Ian A. Murdock
+ Revised 01/06/94
+
+
+What is Debian Linux?
+=====================
+
+Debian Linux is a brand-new kind of Linux distribution. Rather than
+being developed by one isolated individual or group, as other
+distributions of Linux have been developed in the past, Debian is being
+developed openly in the spirit of Linux and GNU. The primary purpose
+of the Debian project is to finally create a distribution that lives up
+to the Linux name. Debian is being carefully and conscientiously put
+together and will be maintained and supported with similar care.
+
+It is also an attempt to create a non-commercial distribution that will
+be able to effectively compete in the commercial market. It will
+eventually be distributed by The Free Software Foundation on CD-ROM,
+and The Debian Linux Association will offer the distribution on floppy
+disk and tape along with printed manuals, technical support and other
+end-user essentials. All of the above will be available at little more
+than cost, and the excess will be put toward further development of
+free software for all users. Such distribution is essential to the
+success of the Linux operating system in the commercial market, and it
+must be done by organizations in a position to successfully advance and
+advocate free software without the pressure of profits or returns.
+
+
+Why is Debian being constructed?
+================================
+
+Distributions are essential to the future of Linux. Essentially, they
+eliminate the need for the user to locate, download, compile, install
+and integrate a fairly large number of essential tools to assemble a
+working Linux system. Instead, the burden of system construction is
+placed on the distribution creator, whose work can be shared with
+thousands of other users. Almost all users of Linux will get their
+first taste of it through a distribution, and most users will continue
+to use a distribution for the sake of convenience even after they are
+familiar with the operating system. Thus, distributions play a very
+important role indeed.
+
+Despite their obvious importance, distributions have attracted little
+attention from developers. There is a simple reason for this: they are
+neither easy nor glamorous to construct and require a great deal of
+ongoing effort from the creator to keep the distribution bug-free and
+up-to-date. It is one thing to put together a system from scratch; it
+is quite another to ensure that the system is easy for others to
+install, is installable and usable under a wide variety of hardware
+configurations, contains software that others will find useful, and is
+updated when the components themselves are improved.
+
+Many distributions have started out as fairly good systems, but as time
+passes attention to maintaining the distribution becomes a secondary
+concern. A case-in-point is the Softlanding Linux System (better known
+as SLS). It is quite possibly the most bug-ridden and badly maintained
+Linux distribution available; unfortunately, it is also quite possibly
+the most popular. It is, without question, the distribution that
+attracts the most attention from the many commercial "distributors" of
+Linux that have surfaced to capitalize on the growing popularity of the
+operating system.
+
+This is a bad combination indeed, as most people who obtain Linux from
+these "distributors" receive a bug-ridden and badly maintained Linux
+distribution. As if this wasn't bad enough, these "distributors" have
+a disturbing tendency to misleadingly advertise non-functional or
+extremely unstable "features" of their product. Combine this with the
+fact that the buyers will, of course, expect the product to live up to
+its advertisement and the fact that many may believe it to be a
+commercial operating system (there is also a tendency not to mention
+that Linux is free nor that it is distributed under the GNU General
+Public License). To top it all off, these "distributors" are actually
+making enough money from their effort to justify buying larger
+advertisements in more magazines; it is the classic example of
+unacceptable behavior being rewarded by those who simply do not know
+any better. Clearly something needs to be done to remedy the
+situation.
+
+
+How will Debian attempt to put an end to these problems?
+========================================================
+
+The Debian design process is open to ensure that the system is of the
+highest quality and that it reflects the needs of the user community.
+By involving others with a wide range of abilities and backgrounds,
+Debian is able to be developed in a modular fashion. Its components
+are of high quality because those with expertise in a certain area are
+given the opportunity to construct or maintain the individual
+components of Debian involving that area. Involving others also
+ensures that valuable suggestions for improvement can be incorporated
+into the distribution during its development; thus, a distribution is
+created based on the needs and wants of the users rather than the needs
+and wants of the constructor. It is very difficult for one individual
+or small group to anticipate these needs and wants in advance without
+direct input from others.
+
+Debian Linux will also be distributed on physical media by the Free
+Software Foundation and the Debian Linux Association. This provides
+Debian to users without access to the Internet or FTP and additionally
+makes products and services such as printed manuals and technical
+support available to all users of the system. In this way, Debian may
+be used by many more individuals and organizations than is otherwise
+possible, the focus will be on providing a first-class product and not
+on profits or returns, and the margin from the products and services
+provided may be used to improve the software itself for all users
+whether they paid to obtain it or not.
+
+The Free Software Foundation plays an extremely important role in the
+future of Debian. By the simple fact that they will be distributing
+it, a message is sent to the world that Linux is not a commercial
+product and that it never should be, but that this does not mean that
+Linux will never be able to compete commercially. For those of you who
+disagree, I challenge you to rationalize the success of GNU Emacs and
+GCC, which are not commercial software but which have had quite an
+impact on the commercial market regardless of that fact.
+
+The time has come to concentrate on the future of Linux rather than on
+the destructive goal of enriching oneself at the expense of the entire
+Linux community and its future. The development and distribution of
+Debian may not be the answer to the problems that I have outlined in
+the Manifesto, but I hope that it will at least attract enough
+attention to these problems to allow them to be solved.

+ Introduction to the Debian mailing lists
+ ========================================
+
+ Debian GNU/Linux is developed through distributed development all
+ around the world. Therefore, email is the preferred way to discuss
+ various items. Much of the conversation between Debian developers
+ and users is managed through several mailing lists.
+
+ There are many world-open mailing lists, meaning anyone can read
+ everything that is posted, and participate in the discussions. Everyone is
+ encouraged to help development of Debian and to spread the word of free
+ software. There are also a few lists which are only open to official Debian
+ developers; please don't interpret this as closed development, it sometimes
+ doesn't make much sense discussing internal topics with non-developers.
+
+ All original Debian mailing lists run on a special server, using an
+ automatic mail processing software called SmartList. This server is called
+ lists.debian.org. All submission, subscription and unsubscription messages
+ have to be sent to a particular address at this host.
+
+ The language used on all lists is English, unless stated otherwise.
+ There are some user lists for other languages available.
+
+Subscription / Unsubscription
+-----------------------------
+
+ Anyone is able to subscribe/unsubscribe on their own to any mailing list,
+ presuming the subscription policy for a particular list is `open'.
+
+ The requests for subscription or unsubscription can be sent to a special
+ control address, which is slightly different from the list address.
+ Subscription or unsubscription messages should NOT be sent to the address
+ of the mailing list itself.
+
+ To subscribe or unsubscribe from a mailing list, please send mail to
+
+ <listname>-REQUEST@lists.debian.org
+
+ with the word `subscribe' or `unsubscribe' as subject.
+
+ Please remember the -REQUEST part of the address.
+
+ As part of the subscription process, the list software will send you an
+ email to which you must reply in order to finish subscribing. This is a
+ security measure to keep people from subscribing others to the lists without
+ their permission.
+
+ If you need to contact a human listmaster, direct your mail to
+ listmaster@lists.debian.org . To find out who is responsible for the
+ lists, take a look at http://www.debian.org/intro/organization
+
+User lists
+
+ There are several user based mailing lists where developers and
+ users can get in contact to discuss and solve problems.

+Debian mailing list advertising policy
+--------------------------------------
+
+ This policy is intended to fight mailing-list "spamming".
+
+ The Debian mailing lists accept commercial advertising for payment. The fee
+ for advertisments is a donation of USD 1000 or more to "Software in the
+ Public Interest" (SPI). One donation per advertisement, please. If you
+ prefer to pay in arrears, simply post your advertisement to the list, and
+ the list operator will bill you USD 1999. The list operator will donate
+ this amount, minus the expense of collecting it, to SPI. Please note that
+ the lists are distributed automatically -- messages are generally not read
+ or checked in any way before they are distributed.
+
+ The act of posting an advertisement indicates your willingness to
+ * accept responsibility for the fee,
+ * indemnify the list operator against any legal claims from you or
+ others in connection with your advertisement, and
+ * pay any legal and business expenses incurred in collecting late payment.
+ Our liability to you is limited to a good-faith effort to deliver your
+ message.
+
+ Reduced rates and/or waiver of fee are available for Debian-related
+ advertisements. You must consult the list operator in advance of posting for
+ any reduction or fee waiver.

+ Version 1.0 ratified on July 5, 1997. Superseded by Version 1.1,
+ ratified on April 26, 2004.
+
+ Debian, the producers of the Debian GNU/Linux system, have created the
+ Debian Social Contract. The Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG) part
+ of the contract, initially designed as a set of commitments that we
+ agree to abide by, has been adopted by the free software community as
+ the basis of the Open Source Definition.
+ __________________________________________________________________
+
+"Social Contract" with the Free Software Community
+
+ 1. Debian Will Remain 100% Free Software
+ We promise to keep the Debian GNU/Linux Distribution entirely free
+ software. As there are many definitions of free software, we
+ include the guidelines we use to determine if software is "free"
+ below. We will support our users who develop and run non-free
+ software on Debian, but we will never make the system depend on an
+ item of non-free software.
+ 2. We Will Give Back to the Free Software Community
+ When we write new components of the Debian system, we will license
+ them as free software. We will make the best system we can, so that
+ free software will be widely distributed and used. We will feed
+ back bug-fixes, improvements, user requests, etc. to the "upstream"
+ authors of software included in our system.
+ 3. We Won't Hide Problems
+ We will keep our entire bug-report database open for public view at
+ all times. Reports that users file on-line will immediately become
+ visible to others.
+ 4. Our Priorities are Our Users and Free Software
+ We will be guided by the needs of our users and the free-software
+ community. We will place their interests first in our priorities.
+ We will support the needs of our users for operation in many
+ different kinds of computing environment. We won't object to
+ commercial software that is intended to run on Debian systems, and
+ we'll allow others to create value-added distributions containing
+ both Debian and commercial software, without any fee from us. To
+ support these goals, we will provide an integrated system of
+ high-quality, 100% free software, with no legal restrictions that
+ would prevent these kinds of use.
+ 5. Programs That Don't Meet Our Free-Software Standards
+ We acknowledge that some of our users require the use of programs
+ that don't conform to the Debian Free Software Guidelines. We have
+ created "contrib" and "non-free" areas in our FTP archive for this
+ software. The software in these directories is not part of the
+ Debian system, although it has been configured for use with Debian.
+ We encourage CD manufacturers to read the licenses of software
+ packages in these directories and determine if they can distribute
+ that software on their CDs. Thus, although non-free software isn't
+ a part of Debian, we support its use, and we provide infrastructure
+ (such as our bug-tracking system and mailing lists) for non-free
+ software packages.
+ __________________________________________________________________
+
+The Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG)
+
+ 1. Free Redistribution
+ The license of a Debian component may not restrict any party from
+ selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate
+ software distribution containing programs from several different
+ sources. The license may not require a royalty or other fee for
+ such sale.
+ 2. Source Code
+ The program must include source code, and must allow distribution
+ in source code as well as compiled form.
+ 3. Derived Works
+ The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must
+ allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of
+ the original software.
+ 4. Integrity of The Author's Source Code
+ The license may restrict source-code from being distributed in
+ modified form _only_ if the license allows the distribution of
+ "patch files" with the source code for the purpose of modifying the
+ program at build time. The license must explicitly permit
+ distribution of software built from modified source code. The
+ license may require derived works to carry a different name or
+ version number from the original software. (This is a compromise.
+ The Debian group encourages all authors not to restrict any files,
+ source or binary, from being modified.)
+ 5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups
+ The license must not discriminate against any person or group of
+ persons.
+ 6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor
+ The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program
+ in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict
+ the program from being used in a business, or from being used for
+ genetic research.
+ 7. Distribution of License
+ The rights attached to the program must apply to all to whom the
+ program is redistributed without the need for execution of an
+ additional license by those parties.
+ 8. License Must Not Be Specific to Debian
+ The rights attached to the program must not depend on the program's
+ being part of a Debian system. If the program is extracted from
+ Debian and used or distributed without Debian but otherwise within
+ the terms of the program's license, all parties to whom the program
+ is redistributed should have the same rights as those that are
+ granted in conjunction with the Debian system.
+ 9. License Must Not Contaminate Other Software
+ The license must not place restrictions on other software that is
+ distributed along with the licensed software. For example, the
+ license must not insist that all other programs distributed on the
+ same medium must be free software.
+ 10. Example Licenses
+ The "GPL", "BSD", and "Artistic" licenses are examples of licenses
+ that we consider "free".
+

+ HOW TO UNPACK A DEBIAN SOURCE PACKAGE
+
+There are two kinds of Debian source packages: old ones and new ones.
+
+A. Old ones look like this:
+ hello-1.3-4.tar.gz
+ hello-1.3-4.diff.gz
+ You unpack them by untarring the .tar.gz. There is NO need to apply
+ the diff.
+
+B. New ones look like this:
+ hello_1.3-11.dsc
+ hello_1.3-11.diff.gz
+ hello_1.3-11.orig.tar.gz - note the `.orig' part
+ Here you MUST use dpkg-source or apply the diff manually - see below.
+
+ If you have `dpkg-source' you should put the files in the same
+ directory and type `dpkg-source -x <whatever>.dsc'.
+
+ If you do not you can extract the Debian source as follows:
+ 1. untar P_V.orig.tar.gz.
+ 2. rename the resulting P-V.orig directory to P-V. If some other
+ directory results, rename *it* to P-V.
+ 3. mkdir P-V/debian.
+ 4. apply the diff with patch -p0.
+ 5. do `chmod +x P-V/debian/rules'
+ (where P is the package name and V the version.)
+
+C. There are some packages where the Debian source is the upstream
+ source. In this case there will be no .diff.gz and you can just use
+ the .tar.gz. If a .dsc is provided you can use `dpkg-source -x'.
