lilo depending on logrotate is an absurdity is it not? > So if I try to remove mailx I can't boot linux anymore with lilo. well why are you removing mailx? alot of things use it to send mail (even though those things are arguably broken) > I guess filing a bugreport against logrotate and lilo ? > why does lilo depends on logrotate anyway ? very good question. all it uses it for (AFAIK) is to mv the /boot/boot.b to /boot/boot.b.preserved which previous lilos misteriously were able to do without logrotate for countless generatations. here is my suggestion, install grub, and apt-get --purge remove lilo to escape this madness. the grub packages won't ever touch any part of your active bootloader when upgraded too. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
