Many people keep blog of their experiences to share with others. I have benefited greatly from those blogs and love to read them. However I was thinking of something slightly different for this. For example let me pick a section of active Sid time from my Sid system log. 2013-10-15 Nasty bug. If using straight /dev/mdX then the system is unbootable. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=726237 2013-10-22 opening a new bash shell now complains: bash: data/zeitgeist-daemon.bash_completion: No such file or directory bash: data/zeitgeist-daemon.bash_completion: No such file or directory http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=727089 zeitgeist-core is a dependency of rhythmbox-plugins 2013-11-06 30.0.1599.101-2 chromium: Running without the SUID sandbox! http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=728823 workaround: ln -s chromium-sandbox /usr/lib/chromium/chrome-sandbox 2013-11-08 Fixed in 30.0.1599.101-3. 2013-11-24 Is this the end of xpdf? The following packages will be REMOVED: xpdf The following packages will be upgraded: fontconfig-config libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev 3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. I held all four packages so as to prevent apt breakage. 2013-11-28 dovecot upgrade requires manual attention to adjust the SSL certificate locations and to merge in new config file. 2013-12-07 dist-upgrade wants to remove libreoffice This is due to libharfbuzz0b replacing libharfbuzz0a. 2013-12-08 Okay the next day with the next package upload. 2013-12-23 dist-upgrade normally, all appeared good, upgrade openssl 1.0.1e-4 1.0.1e-5 except sshd fails to run with: OpenSSL version mismatch. Built against 1000105f, you have 10001060 This is a deja-bug. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=732940 pulled openssl back to version 1.0.1e-4, didn't fix things tried to pull libcrypto but failed due to dependency hell See that a new openssh 1:6.4p1-2 was uploaded to fix this problem. Waited it out until the new openssh was available for download. Installed it. All seemed to have been fixed. But it was several hours of inop sshd until the new package was uploaded. 2013-12-29 Rebooting required purging hal. [158492.039848] udevd[12606]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event' 'socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event': No such file or directory http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=726374#10 This is due to deprecated syntax used by hal in the /lib/udev/rules.d/90-hal.rules file. The "+=" syntax is deprecated. Solution: Remove hal. The Debian hal maintainer reports that it is now deprecated. Nothing should depend upon hal anymore. If installing a new Jessie system hal would not be installed anymore. 2013-12-29 Sometime in the previous apache upgrades. [proxy_html:notice] [pid 2496] AH01425: I18n support in mod_proxy_html requires mod_xml2enc. Without it, non-ASCII characters in proxied pages are likely to display incorrectly. Solution: a2enmod xml2enc http://apache.webthing.com/svn/apache/filters/proxy_html/mod_proxy_html.c *** NOTICE TO PACKAGERS This module now relies on mod_xml2enc for i18n support. You should make mod_xml2enc a dependency in your packages. And the log goes on. That was during an active time in the development of Debian Sid Unstable. At the present time Sid has been frozen for the last six months or so in preparation for release of Jessie 8. It is scheduled to thaw on April 25th. Bob
