Hello: After a dist-upgrade from Woody to Sid, I find subsequent
upgrades are leaving behind lots of packages, abot 350 in fact. Have I
done anything wrong or are so may packages being held back for everyone
these days. And if so, why?

It turns out there is a debian package called hpijs, so I installed that
along with foomatic-bin. But it still did not show up in the driver
list. What do I do now?

Thanks for your help. When I typed sawfish at the prompt, I got the borders
and decorations, and also an access error on the session. When I checked, I
saw identd was the owner of .sawfish/sessions, so I changed that. Works
now.

I just did a dist-upgrade from stable to unstable and all is well except my
windows have no borders, so I can't resize or move them at all. How can I do
turn on windows borders? Thanks,

How do you find which package might contain something you need? I need
glib-config-2.0 (so I can configure fribidi, which is needed to compile
abiword from source). I do not know what package to get. Thanks for
any suggestions. PCR

I installed dosemu on my potato box to try to help Cheryl, but it did not
give me any man or info pages. Who maintains dosemu, anyway?
