I mean that trying to execute lsusb by typing its name produces the bash error message saying that it can't be found. SO clearing the hash table won't have any effect. > Have you tried > hash -r > or haven't you? It is not clear from what you wrote. Yes I did, but same result. But I've found that dpkg (which I've only just found out about) says that the package isn't installed, which would explain a lot. So I've just tried using apt-get again. It came up with what look like the same set of messages, and this time lsusb works. Don't understand what went wrong the first time, but now it's sorted. Thanks for the help. Best regards, Peter
