Terminated a45:~# ...about 20 minutes before I killed the drivel bait from htop. ...also, I suspect a memory leak on either X.Org-7.1.0-10 or libc6, both was upgraded on my last aptitude session and htop shows X eating 606MB off 384MB and 242MB swap. ...if this _is_ a libc6 or some other non-dpkg bug, beware that a fix will still need to circumvent the dpkg --unpack gridlock, somehow, tar, cpio etc might work. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-486 Locale: LANG=nb_NO.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nb_NO.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii coreutils 5.97-5.2 The GNU core utilities ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ....and: ii xorg 7.1.0-10 X.Org X Window System dpkg recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
