I'd suggest you backup /etc and $HOME and re-install, using woody/stable sources.list. Then if you find something that's not supporting your needs, install a backport of that. Sarge will be promoted to stable soon enough. > dpkg is indeed a wonderful thing, when it works. dpkg certainly is a wonderful thing, and a good carpenter doesn't blame his tools. > Thanks in advance for > any straightforward hints, tips, etc. > If it is a long, command-line driven, > config file edit- ridden process, well, > that's what I switched to Debian to get > away from, after all. Well, that was a mistake. That's not what debian bills itself as excelling at. If, instead, you were looking to get away from rpm-hell, conflicting or broken software and libraries, and configuration nightmares, then Debian is a good choice; the best choice, in fact. > Jerry "stuck in woody-land" Spicklemire You mean "stuck in user-error-limbo". I'm in woody-land, and it works great here. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
