It worked OK with mc-common and mc but the gmc_4.5.42-4_i386.deb file will not install I get the following messages:
(Reading database ... 78011 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking gmc (from gmc_4.5.42-4_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing gmc_4.5.42-4_i386.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/convert-metadata.db.1.gz', which is also in package mc dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Any idea what to do now is greatly appreciated!! BTW; this recompile did fix the mouse problem as I used the debian source files from potato and recompiled them for slink. -- AdVance-Computing Systems We sell fine quality servers and workstations.
