Has something happened to your /etc/group file?

Oops... apparently that is a FAQ. Sorry;
I just couldn't find it in the Packages lists (neither can dselect).

I tried to install the G77 compiler, and got the latest stuff from
testing. It required a newer version of libc6 (2.2.4-5), which got
installed first. Then all subsequent packages failed. I cannot open a
shell anymore:
/bin/sh: relocation error: /bin/sh: undefined symbol: history_max_entries

Consider this scenario:
Program P1V1 depends on P2V1; both are installed and work fine. Now you
install P3V2: it depends on a newer version of P2: P2V2; this gets
automatically replaced. But P2V2 no longer works with P1V1. What is
supposed to happen in this case?
I think this is what happenend

For some reason neither the Delete key nor the Backspace key work in my
terminal windows (xterm, Konsole). I have to use ^H on the command
line. The keys work however as expected in editors like vim, pine (in
these very terminal windows), as well as in nedit. There is nothing about
the keys in m

Can anybody tell me exactly when and how a particular desktop (Gnome or
KDE) is started on a Debian system? After a `startx` all kinds of scripts
and programs get run using all kind of config files and I loose track
where Gnome comes in.
The situation is, that now both KDE and Gnome start. To my

Right: support for math is poor in DocBook: if you need to write many
formulae, use LaTeX. In that case, consider LyX for an easy GU

I installed Progeny, which features XF86v4 . It didn't install gpm, so I
did that; I used the same gpm.conf that I had, which works fine now:
type=ps2
device=/dev/psaux
repeat_type=ms3
However, in X the mouse runs berserk.
Progeny's XF86Config-4 has:

I installed Progeny, and got rid of that obnoxious gdm. However, when as
a mortal I do "startx" I am told that the user is not allowed to run the
X server. Says who? /usr/bin/X11/X is world-executable. Where is this
configured?

Nedit is my favourite GUI editor. I installed the nedit 1:5.1.1-5 package
(from "testing"). When I run it, it appears with all menu text characters
displayed as small dashed squares, so it is unusable. I tried removing my
.nedit file, and adding an "nedit*font -..." line to my .Xresources: but

I found out that the Debian uucp package I have still uses a.out format:
$ file /usr/sbin/uucico
/usr/sbin/uucico: setuid setgid Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (QMAGIC),
stripped
$ ldd /usr/sbin/uucico
libc.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.6pl27) => /lib/libc.so.4
As far as I know, I'm up-to date wit
I noticed that my uucico etc. from the uucp package (1.06.1-2) is still a.out
and using libc.so.4 . I seem to be up-to date. Is this normal? Is an ELF
pre-compiled package coming, since the latest version of ld will not support
a.out any more?
