> I don't. > No expert on NLS but I have it working so I'll try to help -----------------------<snip> Ok it took awhile for me to get and reply to this message because fetchmail went out on me. I think it is related to the nfs-server packages I installed, in particular 'bwnfsd'. First the command: $ fetchmail -v -v -L mytestlogfile produces nothing. No data what so ever to look at. So trying to remove fetchmail via 'apt-get remove' 'depkg --purge' and trying to reinstall produces errors that are reliant on bwnfsd. Then trying to remove and reinstall bwnfsd all produces the same error, which is: -------------- Starting BWNFS daemon: rpc: RPC: Timed out dpkg: error processing bwnfsd (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255 Errors were encountered while processing: bwnfsd E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) ---------------- why it wants to start the BWNFS daemon when I want to remove bwnfsd and remove fetchmail I've not a clue. Searching I was able to find an email with the same problem at: http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-0103/msg00039.html but cannot find a follow up to it. I'm now tying to get in the post-installation script and see if I can figure out error 255 and or logs but I am clumsy at this. Any help on how to diagnos this? Much thanks in advance.
