OK I tried that ... still stuck... here's what I got : It fetched fileutils 4.1-2.diff.gz, .dsc and .orig.tar.gz .. so far so good. Next line after the downloads and starts compiling I get this, and I can't figure how to get out of this (this install is turning into a nightmare !): so here's my new error: file=./'echo cs | sed 's,.*/,,''.gmo && rm -f $file && PATH=../src:$PATH \ no -o $file cs.po /bin/sh: no: command not found now .. what is no ? where (package) do I find it ? I've looked as far as I can look, without results. Before you asked, I've installed libc6-dev, dpkg-dev, debhelper, gcc, all from stable. I'm stuck with a system that just won't work, any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks Jeff
