some NMU candidates

| These are simply packages in sarge with RC bugs in sarge, such that the RC
bugs are marked 'patch' and have been so for a while -- and furthermore
the fixes really are straightforward and clearly correct.
Some of these have *other* RC bugs as well, of course,....
ccache (#200185)
db3 (#223142)
db4.0 (#223140)
(Be very sure you get the upload right with the db packages, given the number
of things which depend on them.)
horde2 (#204138)
snort (#231580)
sysklogd (#223210)
util-linux (#231477) -- but other RC bugs may make this unfeasible
xemacs21-packages (#169861) -- but other RC bugs may make this unfeasible
There are probably lots of other good candidates, I just made this list fairly
conservatively.

sysklogd has also the second RC-bug that it doesn't work w/o
/usr/share/doc, but the maintainer considers this to be a feature.
Given that the last NMU was rolled back by the maintainer, and that
there is a special readme that NMUs are not allowed, I wish the NMUer
much fun with it.
Cheers,
Andi

I guess NMUing this package isn't enough. This is the testing status:
- 161 days old (needed 5 days)
- sysklogd (source, alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips,
mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc) is buggy! (1 > 0)
- Not considered
And this is the bug status:
- 73 outstanding
- 1 forwarded to upstream software authors
- 2 pending upload
- 1 resolved
I guess a caring hand is needed. 
The maintainer, Martin Schulze, is busy in other parts of Debian, and
I suspect the package would be better off with some co-maintainers.
Martin seem to look at sysklogd 1-2 times a year, so there are still
hope, but it seems to me that the package need more time spent on it.

What's the bug number for this issue? If it hasn't been filed as a bug,
where's the archived discussion that's taken place about it, or at least
the original problem report?
Cheers,
aj

Please get imwheel in that list. If any of you guys feel like NMUing for
me I'd be a happy girl, cause I'm overworked, and not taking proper
care of it.
Thanks!

Funny feature ;-) But maybe a prominent
if ! [ -d /usr/share/doc ]; then
echo "error: /usr/share/doc not present" 1>&2
exit 1
di
at the top of the maintainer scripts would be a cleaner way to
implement it? The way it is currently implemented seems a little bit
obscure.

> snort (#231580)
I'll probably upload a patched version and fix some other bugs along the
way, the current changelog entry for the NMU (patch sent today to
maintainer and co-maintainer) includes:
snort (2.1.0-4.1) unstable; urgency=high
* NMU
* Snort group is now created using --system in all packages
Closes: #231580
* Both the cron.daily script and the postinst scripts set a default
value for STATS_RCPT and STATS_TRESHOLD to avoid buggy behaviours
if the user does not setup a proper value when interfacing with
debconf. Still, these values should be checked in the config
scripts. (Closes: #173331)
* Snort-stat now exists if there are no results which will avoid
it from sending empty emails (Closes: #217913, #174508, #192401,
#172529)
* Improved the explanations in several templates (Closes: #217173)
* Updated Japanese translation (and fixed some po format errors,
hopefully without damaging the po file) (Closes: #226680)
* Included Catalan debconf translation (Closes: #236644)
* Updated pt-BR debconf translation (Closes: #228244)
* Re-Added (partial) spanish debconf translation (it seems that
the work I did back in december 2001 has not been moved to
po-debconf!)
I'll have to ask the po-maintainers to revise the po files though.
Regards
Javier
