Even if you're only using 'etch', try an 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. Did you notice if you had a long list of 'packages held back' ?
One reason for DCOP failing is permissions on the /tmp directory - just check that it is 'drwxrwxrwt'. Incorrect permissions will cause many necessary bits to fail. --To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
