** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: sysv-rc-conf
  
  1. I am using Ubuntu 8.10 x64.
  
  2. I am using sysv-rc-conf version 0.99-6.
  
  3. I expected the full names of GNU/Linux services to appear at a call
  to "sysv-rc-conf --list".
  
  4. What happens is that the service names that have more than 12
  characters, are truncated to 12 characters.
  
  
  Description:
  
  Current version of sysv-rc-conf has a limitation of 12 characters
  (defined as a constant in sysv-rc-conf), when invoked as "sysv-rc-conf
  --list".
  
  
  I have written a GUI front-end for sysv-rc-conf, named Glass:
  
- http://www.cpps-fotware.net, under the section "Software".
+ http://www.cpp-software.net, under the section "Software".
  
  and this bug, limits the number of services, Glass/sysv-rc-conf can
  modify.
  
  Fixing the bug, enhances the command line functionality of sysv-rc-conf
  (and thus the functionality of Glass), to be able to modify more
  services, than it is now possible.
  
  
  Thank you,
