as i said i had the same problems with slink. as i replied privately to roddie, this time problem i had in slink coincided with the breaking of my linker. i really don't know WHAT caused it, but every time i used apt to try to upgrade to potato it broke my linker and my time was messed up. in the end i gave up and installed a potato base, and both broke again in the same exact manner when i upgraded my linker with apt. i concluded that if i start with potato and don't upgrade anything having to do with ldso or the linker in any way, it stops that problem. still i can't figure out what a linker would have to do with time! perhaps its something in libc6 that was clashing with the potato packages. no dependency problems were reported and everything went smoothly but it broke on me over and over.... in the end i gave up on slink. potato is working great for me, even with libc6.1. in fact it seems more stable than my slink was. maybe i'm just lucky? or maybe there was a faulty .deb package at the time i was using apt to try to upgrade? its an interesting dilemma for sure...and stranger still, the breaking of my slink system seemed to be caused by apt.. if i didnt use apt to install anything, it was fine. <shrug> anyone else with an odd time problem, or who has experienced it, please give input. thanks!
