I've completely lost track of what you're doing at this point. I'll submit this, though: I moved /usr/share/doc out of the way and did the move-doc-to-share/doc-and-symlink-usr/doc thing. I installed some packages and removed some packages. Everything seems to be fine. What _is_ the failure case here? Mike Stone
