Are you _sure_ installing the libdb2 package ___that W/testing currently points to___ will solve this problem? I think this problem has existed for several weeks, and no package that could fix it would be in W/t yet. (It would still be in unstable, if even there as of now.) See, for instance, the replies to: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2001/debian-devel-200108/msg01318.html > (A quick search on packages.debian.org shows that) I did not get that result. My search for libdb.so.3 yielded: ****************************** Debian package contents search results FILE PACKAGE lib/libdb.so.3 base/libc6 usr/lib/debug/libdb.so.3 devel/libc6-dbg ****************************** So, shouldn't it be libc6 is the package, not libdb2? Thanks for your effort. I'm in the process of learning about packages now. Would you please provide me some clarification on these two points? Your input on this mattter is greatly appreciated! :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!
