Probably me. In any event, I did find where in synaptic to enable the wheezy-backports, and an update then brought about 330 packages up newer versions. Unfortunately, one of them was tar, to version 1.27-1 and it no longer tolerates being called with the -cpsf option list, puking all over itself and refusing to complete last nights backup run by amanda. This gets tiresome as I don't recall ever updating tar, and having a working syntax when it was done. Suitable help please message posted to the tar-users list. Other than that, the system seems to be running smoother after that update blast than it has since the ssl/tls square dance started around 2 weeks ago. So I'll be pleased when I figure out how to fix tar so it works again. Thanks Richard. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
