I am also having the same trouble. I didn't see a reply to Andrew's question, so I wanted to add that I am also interested in solving this one. I never encountered this problem when I was using other (lesser) distributions. Please help if you know the answer. There are some tools like gnome-apt that I would like to use without having to end my x-session and start a new one as root. -- ------------------------------------ Ben Messinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux user. ------------------------------------
