I have just performed an 'apt-get install bitchx' on a debian x86 Etch
system, but there seems to be a problem with with the package configuration.
The install finishes with a warning:

Does anyone know the secret to getting Etch to power down the system
after a halt. I have tried 'apt-get install apmd', but it doesn't
seem to have helped.
I know the hardware can do it, because it worked with the very old
version of Ubuntu I tried before Debian (5.04).
The machine is a Dell Prec

The 'display manager' is responsible for giving 'users' access
to 'displays' - although in this context you could probably
