As the OP, I don't recall seeing any previous suggestion of aptitude purge ~c. But, no matter, I'm quite happy using aptitude, I just don't know much about it. But then I feel somewhat ill-informed about any of the packaging commands, and tend to stick with synaptic, which is no good on a headless server. I guess there must be beginner-level documentation about for the packaging system, but I've not seen it. The plethora of commands doesn't help. So, I applied that incantation (after trying it with the -s option first :), and it went through its paces overnight. Unlikely to be coincidental, mysql server ceased to be responsive, but a service restart fixed that. So, Darac, Thank you again for your most insightful help; I'm not sure I would have got there without it. And I learned a tiny bit more about the packaging commands ;) Cheers! -- Tony van der Hoff | mailto:t...@vanderhoff.org Ariège, France | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
