I believe the canonical source for the lesstif libraries is
ftp://ftp.hungry/pub/hungry/lesstif.
There's a debianized version of lesstif in Incoming/ on master. It's
based on the 0.50 release, though I doubt it'd be all that hard to
upgrade to the in-progress version.

I have been looking for the source to the lesstif libraries so I can use
them to build grok. So far all altavista searches have provided URLs that
don't respond. Does anyone have any idea where this library can be found?

Thanks,

You are right. Forgot to put the conffiles into the binary.
0.5.13-2 fixes this.

Dhcpd overwrites an existing /etc/dhcpd.conf file without warning.
I suppose I have no one else but myself to blame for this one, it burnt me
last upgrade as well, but I didn't report it as a bug. So it got me again
