[solved] Special Characters in xterm and Chromium file URLs
I recently reinstalled Debian Wheezy (switched to full disk encryption) but I have a residual problem with special characters. These include both characters from non-Latin fonts - e.g., Ἑλληνικά, and any character formed using the Compose key, e.g., ê. These show up fine when typed in most applicati...

Re: What's the easiest way to install skype in debian lenny?
I'm running the statically linked version of the Skype binary on 64-bit with no problems, just extract it into /opt or something, edit the desktop file, and stick the desktop file in /usr/share/applications.

As was stated on the mailing list, please remove the broken 3rd party software you have installed. Nothing should conflict with anything in binutils.

Re: Developers: "qemu is very safe". But is it? Please help!
As far as I know there aren't any big unfixed security holes in qemu. These are a bit old but they can give you an idea of the kinds of problems its had in the past: http://www.debian.org/security/2007/dsa-1284 And Xen security holes which were themselves just holes in qemu: http://www.debian.org/se...

Re: Issue with compiling source to .deb
You need to remove this part from config.status in debian/rules " --build x86_64-linux-gnu" as it says in the error message. No guarantee if that would work, there may be other problems.

Re: Are bz2 files distro specific?
You can only build a debian package from a source package. You can convert a rpm to deb using "alien" but that's unreliable. For a backend see the 1-3rd paragraphs of the Computer Science Section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front-end_and_back-end You can try to use his guide but that mig...

Re: DPKG Installation
You put the update-rc.d manpage in place of the actual binary. If dpkg works then you should: "dpkg -i --force-bad-path sysv-rc*.deb"
Any reason you're trying to recover this system from such a terrible state?

Re: apt-get or aptitude? And why?
Well, to be fair: cupt has plenty of bugs in it, see e.g. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=539953 that I recently filed.
I like it because it has attempted to solve http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=246992.
