aptitude remove fam worked, and I still have some libfam files around: # locate libfam /usr/lib/libfam.a /usr/lib/libfam.la /usr/lib/libfam.so /usr/lib/libfam.so.0 /usr/lib/libfam.so.0.0.0 so we shall see if I needed it, or miss it. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459
