I edited /var/lib/dpkg/info/netbase.postinst and on line 104 changed it to: # update_hosts_file Mainly to forget about it. I already had everything I needed for IPv6 in it.

So, that was a quick elimination of the problem... not a fix but a workaround. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] REMEMBER ED CURRY! http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry If you behave there will be cake for the miscreants we call your droogs.
