I have uninstalled and reinstalled and have identified this potential bug is also in asterisk 1.6.2.0~dfsg~rc1-1 .<br>However I am having many other separate problems which I am diligently but ploddingly resolving.<br>This stops me from testing asterisk quick enough to my satisfaction, to get this potential bug processed.<br>
My concern with my patch is, should I specify just one module; dahdi
or dahdi-linux ? although specifying both does install asterisk with
dahdi ok. but no sign in the dependancies shown below, of dahdi-linux.
It depends on what you actually want.<br>
My next job is to strip out all the 96 sample configurations somehow, to
make asterisk 1.6 useable for a newbie with starter books such as my
book," Asterisk,the future of telephony." or the book to be published in
January 2010 "Practical Asterisk 1.4 and 1.6: From Beginner to Expert"
to allow me to operate asterisk further, and to test for the
effectiveness of my patch.<br>
