(i'm making a list of things to try or check, including this one -- thanks, qian!) -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.0; Linux server 2.2.17 #1 Sun Jun 25 09:24:41 EST 2000 i586 unknown DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #16 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Why are *.rpm (RED HAT PACKAGES) considered spawn of Satan? Because the Debian package system is a lot more sophisticated than the one Red Hat uses; lots more inter-dependency information is built in to a *.deb package. If you bypass that with an *.rpm file, you're taking chances with your system. Try to "apt-get install <debian-only>" packages if possible. (Also check out the "alien" package if you must.)
