For users with a You better be real sure about that because sysctl.conf has been a conffile for a very long time (years, but not sure how many).
$ dpkg -l procps | grep procps ii procps 3.2.5-1 /proc file system utilities $ grep /etc/sysctl.conf /var/lib/dpkg/info/procps.conffiles /etc/sysctl.conf Your situation would not be the only situation where overwriting procps would cause bad things to happen. In addition the conffile is there, so if dpkg has decided to ignore conffile settings then that would cause an even larger nightmare. I've heard nothing else yet and this version of procps was uploaded in January. Just in case it was a powerpc-specific build problem, I also checked one of Debian's powerpc hosts and the conffile is identical to my alpha and i386 ones (bruckner, unstable chroot if other developers were wondering). In short, I'm not that convinced this is a bug. - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ MIEE Debian developer csmall at : enc.com.au ieee.org debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
