Thanks for reporting this.
Should packages ever replace files in other packages? This would make
uninstalling the later package more complicated, although I could
imagine a design where preinst renamed foo to foo.old, and postrm
renamed it back.
This would require that the dependencies introduced an ordering to

I've narrowed the search as far as I am able. The rest is up to youall.
It seems that leaving my '500's power ON during Linux boot triggers
the bug. When I boot Linux with the '500 powered OFF, however, then
power it on after the login prompt appears, I can print.

Thanks for the hint. Setting LESS to "-c" makes less work the way I wanted
within MH.

I'm not sure if that's the right solution either. I t

A work-around would be to construct a shell program that evaluated to
"less -c" and pass the name of that program in MANOPT. An alias won't
always be expanded where you want it to be - it depends on how
the program executes a command line - it has the option to not use the
shell to do that at all.

Did something else change? You had better results before.

Hi again...
It seems that the buster login for mirrors on ftp.debian.org has been moved
to the root directory ( / ) of debian.org. Now to get to the Debian
distribution we have to go into "/debian.org/ftp/debian". Could someone
try to correct the buster login before the mirrors delete everything
