Greetings Fellow Debian Enthusiasts, I had a number of questions I have pondered all week, and thought perhaps someone might know the answer. Any help is most apprieciated.
#1 After upgrading my slink box to potato a week or 2 ago, I started getting the following error every time I install a new package using apt-get. It occurs during the unpacking/ configuration stage, and does not seem to hurt anything, but if it can be fixed easily, I would sure like to. The error is Cannot find termcap: Can't find a valid termcap file at /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/Term/ReadLine.pm line 305 I believe I read somewhere that termcap is not usually used anymore in favor of ncurses instead? Could this be related somehow? #2 I saw several messages refer to newer source/etc for Pine, I am running 3.96 but if 4.xx is floating around out there somewhere, could someone point me in the right direction to find it? Sounds like it adds some interesting new features, etc. #3 Not really a question, more of an observation. I watched the thread on procps and bsdutils, regarding the cross inclusion of /bin/kill, and I noticed that in the latest version of one of them, kill was removed and replaced with skill. This is find and good, because I can now use the built in kill command in bash for various things, but I did have to fix the poff script for ppp, because it broke when /bin/kill because /bin/skill. Just in case anyone else had the same problem and did not know how to fix it. #4 One last question, for anyone that uses Tin/Rtin. I have no problems reading newsgroups, etc, and never had problems posting to the newsgroups on other machines where I did not set it up. However, on my own box, I can't seem to get it to post. It's set to use it's own internal inews, and I set all the options I thought were needed (email address, etc), but when I go to post I get the following message: Invalid Sender: root (root@) I created several user accounts, and got the same result from them. I checked all the normal places in /etc, /etc/tin, etc but everything looks right. The docs for Tin don't go into much depth with inews, and the inews man page is really designed for running inews externally, which I really didn't plan on doing, since I am just accessing a remote NNTP server, just for my own reading. In any case, if anyone can help with any of these, it would be great, and thanks in advance! Todd
