Hello. I would like know how I can print quota information into the motd
for every user. Since we are talking about appending to motd, how can
fortune be appended as well? They should both work along the same lines,
just quota system would be harder, i think.
thanks.

Using either apt-get source -b foo or dpkg-buildpackage after the
fact, I have a number of debian source packages fail on me. In most
cases the most conspicuous symptom is the following stderr line:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldb
What package am I missing? OR is it a ./configure problem?

Hi,
has woody shrinked in the last two weeks? When I search for example
for the task-kde-packages they aren't availible any more (two weeks
ago they were still there).
Or is there something wrong with my apt-get?
MfG, Florian.
What do I need to do to remove a package that was broken during the
installation process ? Below, please find the trials I already run
N-times.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers,
Lukas
