I'm sorry, I should have made sure that the file exists. I do have sid installed but now that I checked, the file isn't there, even though the gnome-screensaver package is installed. I believe apt-file has a cache and I guess it doesn't get updated every time the system's packages get updated. My bad. (Actually, does it every get updated if one doesn't set up a cron job or do it manually?) > -- > Mit freundlichen Grüßen > > Felix Koop > > > > Am Samstag, den 25.02.2012, 16:07 -0600 schrieb Selim T.
