No warning about a conflict? And what is kmobilephone for a package? Is it from a different distribution? I need to that, because I expect that one of the mentioned packages conflicts with smstools. > After installation, there is no /etc/init.d/smstools, and no /var/spool/sms. Just to being complete: Is the init script first missing after the installation or was it already missing after removing of the other packages? Anyway this is a interesting issue. Both missing files are part of the package itself and I think it should never happen that a package is in installed state, but its files are missing. Could be a dpkg bug. But before making the horses shy: What does dpkg -l smstools say? Best Regards, Patrick
