Good to hear. > It would be a great service if anyone encountering problems write to > this list and let us know about it. Forewarned is forearmed. I won't stop anyone from reporting here; that is fine with me. But also use the system: report bugs with the reportbug package. And install the apt-listbugs package to warn you. # apt-cache show apt-listbugs (...) apt-listbugs is a tool which retrieves bug reports from the Debian Bug Tracking System and lists them. Especially, it is intended to be invoked before each upgrade/installation by apt in order to check whether the upgrade/installation is safe. . Many developers and users prefer the unstable version of Debian for its new features and packages. apt, the usual upgrade tool, can break your system by installing a buggy package. . apt-listbugs lists critical bug reports from the Debian Bug Tracking System. Run it before apt to see if an upgrade or installation is known to be unsafe. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [Dutch/Nederlands] Public GnuPG key: keyserver.net ID 0x1735C5C2 "Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning." - Winston Churchill
