Note that I was running apt-get as root! I didn't persue this further before. But now after changing the permissions on the /etc/init.d/portmap file it worked and apt-get would remove it. I am still a little confused because I only changed the permissions from -rw-r--r-- to -rw-rw-rw- for it to work. I was running apt-get as root so I would have thought there shouldn't be a permission problem to remove the file. Anyway, thanks for the help. It worked and portmap is gone and the rest of my held back packages are now installed correctly. Cheers. Mark. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
