Well, judging from the exit status, you'd think it were successful. But actually, it did nothing. Apparently, because stat says there are two links... After removing the other link to this file, PPMd runs. Why does it test for st_nlink == 1? It appears to do so in ENV_FILE_FINDER::isFileValid. And even if there is a good reason for that test, the exit code should surely not be 0 and an error message should be produced. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (100, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages ppmd depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-13 GCC support library ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ppmd recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
