Today i needed to send a message to another user on my debian box.
I thought i'd just do what used to be the usual thing on a unix box:
i compose-mail in emacs (control-x m), and drafted the text, and put
in the other user's name in the To: line.
I then hit control-c control-c to mail it, but was
This has happened a couple of times or so in the past week:
On booting up, I get to the prompt to unlock my /home partition.
The first attempt fails, not because I mistyped the passphrase,

One of these files might have logged a relevant message just before the

/var/log/debug*

"python-tornado breaks : python-zmq (< 17) but 16.0.2-2+b1 is to be
