Steps to reproduce:

• On boot.

Description:

Rename "chroot-nspawn" keyword to "chroot+unshare" one
because"chroot+unshare" subsystem (chroot and unshare command)
is more precise than "chroot-nspawn" (systemd-nspawn
compatibility script) subsystem.

The files with "chroot-nspawn" keyword are:

* /etc/init.d/bootmisc (as SYSTEMD-NSPAWN)

Steps to reproduce:

Add "devfs" and any "logger" init script to default runlevel

Description:

Some init scrips are forced to load in certain runlevels by default (eg. boot) when 
OpenRC is upgraded. It isn't good for virtualization environments like chroot that
doesn't require it to work.

Those scripts are:
* /etc/init.d/dmesg
* /etc/init.d/hwclock
* /etc/init.d/keymaps
* /etc/init.d/killprocs
* /etc/init.d/local
* /etc/init.d/loopback
* /etc/init.d/modules
* /etc/init.d/mount-ro
* /etc/init.d/swap
* /etc/init.d/sysctl

Note: "/etc/init.d/dmesg" should be loaded in "boot" runlevel instead of "sysinit" one at the first installation time.

Note: "/etc/init.d/local" should be loaded in "sysinit" runlevel instead of "default" and "nonetwork" one at the first installation time.

Steps to reproduce:

Description:

Some init scrips are forced to load in certain runlevels by default (eg. boot) when 
OpenRC is upgraded. Also some of them are autoloaded by other init scripts.
It isn't good for virtualization environments like chroot that doesn't require it to
work.

* /etc/runlevels/boot/fsck (autoloaded from "root" init script)

Steps to reproduce:

Re-install and/or upgrade the OpenRC package

Description:

Use procps-ng's "sysctl" by default instead of inetutils's "hostname" for
hostname support.

Since [inetutils] is an extra dependency for openrc, it
contains insecure commands like: ftp/rcp/rlogin/rsh/talk/telnet
For security reasons, procps-ng should be the tool to handle hostname
configuration through hostname init script because is a base package.

And I propose to change “Linux system” to “GNU/Linux system”.

pam_unix2 was removed from Debian Jessie because it’s buggy and unmaintained [0]

It’s included inside pam package and should be removed since it doesn’t comes from official source. Also the original upstream FTP directory (ftp://ftp.suse.com/people/kukuk/pam/pam_unix2) has disappeared.

community/purple-facebook 0.9.3-1
    Facebook protocol plugin for libpurple

It is up to maintainers to decide of course. IMHO I would remove this one as it uses proprietary network Facebook, exclusively, and even mentioning the word in the package.

See:
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html

A free system distribution must not steer users towards obtaining any nonfree information for practical use, or encourage them to do so.

Please remove as plugin is only useful with Skype hosted by a single company on a single server as far as I can tell (unlike pidgin-sipe).

Description:
Quoted from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-acme/+bug/1777205 Bug #1777205 reported by Brad Warren on 2018-06-16

[Impact]

Without this fix, on June 19, the library will start to fail when using Let’s Encrypt’s new ACMEv2 endpoint. We should avoid breaking this for users.

[Test Case]

On June 19, try to use Let’s Encrypt’s new ACMEv2 endpoint; it will error out, as described in https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/acmev2-order-ready-status/62866

[Regression Potential]

If the endpoint changes again, this will need another update, but the only potential regression I see is server-side, which needs patches on our end to adjust (like in this case).

[Original Bug Description]

I am the upstream maintainer of python-acme. This bug only affects python-acme in Ubuntu 18.04.

Starting on June 19th, this library will start failing when used with Let’s Encrypt’s new ACMEv2 endpoint. This is because the library does not recognize the changes described in https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/acmev2-order-ready-status/62866 and will error out when it sees them.

To fix this, python-acme either needs to be upgraded to 0.25.1 (which came out two days ago) or the one line patch that originally landed upstream at https://github.com/certbot/certbot/commit/5940ee92ab5c9a9f05f7067974f6e15c9fa3205a applied. I think the latter is the safer option.

Please let me know what I can do to help get this resolved.

Additional info:
Solution is to upgrade the following packages

* certbot 0.23.0-1.hyperbola1.backports1
* python-acme 0.23.0-1.backports1

and any other that depends on certbot=0.23.0 and/or python-acme=0.23.0 (like the certbot plugins)

The other option is to patch certbot, as described in the launchpad’s issue

Steps to reproduce:

1) Install certbot
2) try anything related to the certificates (certonly, renew)
3) You may get an error like this:

Obtaining a new certificate

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Description:
pip allows the user to search and install packages from the PyPi repository, which contains proprietary software.

Additional info:
* example of proprietary package in PyPi repository: https://pypi.org/project/snaplogic * Trisquel’s solution was to remove python-pip: https://trisquel.info/en/issues/3741

Steps to reproduce:
$ sudo pacman -S python-pip
$ pip search snaplogic # prints information about proprietary package
$ pip install snaplogic # installs proprietary package

When running QtEmu for the first time and running the new machine wizard, the software lists non-free operating systems and refers to GNU/Linux as Linux.

It would be nice to list LibertyBSD in the list of distros in this software in addition to GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd (which are listed in aqemu).
