please help on apt-move weirdness

apt-move 4.1.9

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:1 ~ $ sudo apt-move localupdate
/usr/bin/apt-move: line 122: syntax error near unexpected token ('
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:1 ~ $ 

the script contains some `(' and `)' where it should be `{' and `}' (??)
but if this is the case, then how came that `()' became `{}' ??

i encounter this problem after only visible faults as some severe
fsck trouble, but is it possible? otherwise, i cannot remember
any reason that could cause apt-move suddenly complains this. :(

M17 with session management?

[zw]

since mozilla is quite stable now, (i used it extensively now, indeed
it's my only browser using, and i can use all the habits when i'm using
IE with mozilla, like open 10 to 20 broswer windows for some lota javascript
popup sites, and big pics (don't get me wrong! ;)

so is it possible to enable session-management for mozilla compiled
for debian?

thank you,

modprobe ide-scsi and sg

/etc/modutils/devfsd ?

howto (apt-)get only ./debian dir of a package?

[zw]

there is
$ apt-get source pkg
but usually i just want to peek at the
./debian directory to learn from others doing,
or i want to try the official ./debian stuff on
a cvs version, ...

the question is can i?
(i know i can check on the packages.debian.org,
but can i get 'em without the need of a browser and
search and clicks, ...)

thanks,

e2fsprogs as an essential package

[zw]

hi,

with reiserfs etc. shall we downgrade debian package e2fsprogs'
essential state to at least to allow it to be removable? thanks!
(one thing to notice is maybe the generic fsck wrapper?)
