There are a couple ways to see what files are contained in what packages. Unfortunately, I only know one, but it works for me :) Point your favorite browser to here: http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages scroll down to the "Search the Contents of the Latest Release" search engine and enter the offending file name into the box and hit Search. For libtermcap.so.2, I got: lib/libtermcap.so.2 oldlibs/termcap-compat lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8 oldlibs/termcap-compat Check if you have the termcap-compat package installed. hth -- ( __ _ Mark Wagnon ) Debian GNU/ -o) / / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chula Vista, CA ( /\\/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) www.debian.org _\_v____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
