Hi All,
Posted originally to debian-user and it was suggested I post here in

Have just set up Linda or I thought I had.
When I run 'linda package.deb' I get errors as follows:
debian:/home/david/Desktop/Downloads# linda checkinstall_1.6.1-1_i386.deb
Linda: Running as root, dropping to nobody.
Traceback (most recent call last):

What is the problem here?
