This example is "dpkg-reconfigure am-utils": >(1) from a console: >[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# dpkg-reconfigure am-utils >dpkg-reconfigure: cannot connect to X server # no dialog, nothing done >(2) from gui terminal: >[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# dpkg-reconfigure am-utils # normal configuration dialog >Stopping automounter: amd . done. >Starting automounter: amd. >/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.4: undefined >symbol: _ZN18QMetaObjectCleanUpD1Ev Now I see two possible problems: 1) the libkdecore.so.4 file, which I still suspect, so I really would encourage you to try the things I suggested earlier which you thought had no bearing on your problem. 2) Apparently you have your system set up to ask you questions about setup during installation from an X interface rather than a text interface; I'd HIGHLY recommend you change that to just using plain old Dialog. Highly. I would try going into an xterm within X, and as your normal user who's logged into X, running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure debconf" and selecting "Dialog". (This assumes you've configured your user to have sufficient sudo capabilities; if not, you'll have to figure out some other way to give root access to your X session, such as xhost <shudder>.) But the more serious problem, from what I can see, is the libkdecore file. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
