Maybe apt-listbugs isn't showing any output because exim4-daemon-light is only half configured. There have already been a few posts about exim4-daemon-light not installing properly. Do you know how to see if there are any open bugs against a package? Usually, there is a fix in the bug report. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=476987 mmm, since I'm not at a lenny machine at the moment, I hesitate to steer you crook, but I would check if it is ok to install exim4-base from sid (check dependencies to see if it will pull in half of sid, for example) Although there is a mention of lsb-base being the culprit, there is also a mention of exim4-base -- so check the bugs against them and hopefully the fix will become more clear. Let us know how it goes. I see you still have 29 packages not upgraded. Pick one of those, and try an apt-get install on it, and you should see apt-listbugs in action. -- Chris. ====== "One, with God, is always a majority, but many a martyr has been burned at the stake while the votes were being counted." -- Thomas B.
