Hello, I have noticed that, on 2008-01-05, the Linux version of Second Life stopped working on my Debian lenny x86 machine.
This was a few minutes after I did aptitude upgrade, so I suspect it might be some due to the installation of a new version of some package. Let's do grep "status installed" /var/log/dpkg.log: 2008-01-05 16:08:58 status installed libc6 2.7-5 2008-01-05 16:08:59 status installed libdb4.3 4.3.29-11 2008-01-05 16:09:00 status installed
