And send me a copy of /root/dedebug.log so we can figure out how this happened. Most likely you had the same user under a different number and it is an update artifact, which isn't likely to be fixed this time, but we need to know for sure. making a fixed Update is a task similar to making the whole distro. NO one seems to work well with update programs to move from one distro to the next, which is why I keep a separate /home directory and just don't format it during a new install. Civileme Civileme
