The latter might have been the case although I had a clean fs on reboot as far as I know/have seen? I also had some other old trouble back today, so it might have been an unclean fs restored to some previous state... Let's keep it on that. > In any case, I can't see any bug in any of the involving packages. OK, I accept your verdict, thank you for the efforts, my excuses for the false report. I hope then this will at the least serve as a lead to other users getting this error (since SSE is not the problem here, but that is what many searches refer to). Best regards, Tjeerd
