I assumed you were using sid based on the subject of this thread. However, I refer you to /usr/share/doc/base-files/README: "You should consider the testing and unstable distributions as two sides of the same coin". Testing is sometimes broken too, and in fact the breakage can take *longer* to fix than in the case of sid. If you are unwilling or unable to test, you should avoid both. -- Liam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
