I upgraded several potato packages today and when apt-get was trying to install xcontrib it gave an out of memory error. The load was quite high, sometimes over 2.0 and most of my 64 MB of RAM and all my 130 MB of swap was in use. Needless to say, the system was extremely sluggish and several attempts to do anything resulted in segfaults.
I was able to kill the processes with ctrl-c (it appears to have been in the post-removal script for the previous version at this point). apt-get clean doesn't report any problems and dpkg still reports the previous version is installed. Is there anything I should do at this point? Bob -- Bob Nielsen Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ AMPRnet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DM42nh http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen
