I didn't get a reply to my bug report. After this happend to me I have installed on this PC box Debian GNU/Linux Etch again. The sources.list was: -------------> # Security deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main # Debian stable deb http://ftp.debian.org lenny main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.debian.org lenny main contrib non-free -------------> The aptitude on Etch run perfectly on this PC box with Pentium II class processor: model name: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor, cpu MHz : 451.032, but like I say, on Lenny for some reason the aptitude don't works. I can on this PC box on Etch system to compile a kernel, I have verified the RAM with memtest86+ before I have installed on it the Debian Etch and find no errors. The Internet connection is through a cable modem and I must use cdc_ether module. I'm using this PC box for firewall/gateway. Any hints for a solution? Any advices will be appreciated! -- Regards, Paul Csanyi http://www.freewebs.com/csanyi-pal/index.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
