Trying to make lftp work, I'd downloaded the version in hamm. This called for a new lic5 which caused the removal on damn near everything. Included in that was the locales package. I've restored almost everything, with the exception of the locales package which depends on libc5 being removed. I've tried to dpkg --force it down and a variety of other things, but nothing seems to work and every time I use perl (which is often) it shows irritating messages about the 'missing' locales package. Can anyone recommend how to proceed?
BTW, if your lftp package is balky, edit the /etc/lftp.config file setting #set sync-mode off set ftp:passive-mode on and resist like the plague any impulse to mess with libc* -- ----------------------------------------- Ralph Winslow [EMAIL PROTECTED] The IQ of the group is that of the member whose IQ is lowest divided by the number of members. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
