00:16.11evangineer\o/ - apt-listbugs works properly when reportbug is installed.
00:17.23rhoweTime to use your newly-installed reportbug, I guess :)
00:17.47rhoweAlthough reportbug is in the 'Suggests:'
00:18.03rhoweIf you'd used dselect, you'd have been suggested to install it ;)
00:18.21evangineerbah, deselect
00:18.33rhowedselect is actually really good
00:18.42rhoweI don't get what's so nasty about it
00:19.26evangineerwhat are your thoughts about aptitude, I might give that a try.
00:19.53rhoweNever tried it to be honest
00:20.03rhoweWell, I think I ran it once and the interface freaked me out
00:20.15rhoweNever really took the time to try it properly
00:21.48mozrat3-1nn guys
00:21.52rhowe'might mozrat3-1
00:22.50evangineerhmm, nasty bug in the unstable oo.o package.  I'll give that a miss for now.
00:23.26rhowenasty bug in the libc package too :)
00:24.36evangineerbug in oo.o is unconfirmed though
00:26.31evangineerah well, it's too late to be doing this stuff.  I'll apt-get update in the morning and see what the score is then.
00:27.38rhoweI found apt-listchanges to work rather sporadically
00:27.43rhoweMany times it doesn't bother listing anything
00:27.48rhoweOr it only lists for one package
00:27.58rhoweNever looked into why, though
00:29.23evangineerinteresting, apt-listchanges is written in python.  I might have a go at hacking it at some point.
00:29.45rhowelistbugs is in ruby IIRC
00:30.57evangineeryes, it is

02:55.25evangineerArch Linux has been a distro that I've occassionally been curious about, because it seems like slackware with bsd-style ports. there's a comparison of arch and slackware here http://osnews.com/story.php?news_id=8761
