Installing libdl1 (ldso)
Hi, I wrote recently about problems with running dselect, namely that the installation step fails with: dpkg: cannot see how to satisfy pre-dependency: perl pre-depends on libdl1 dpkg: cannot satisfy pre-dependencies for perl (wanted due to perl) I had a look and found that the new version of ldso provides libdl1 (whereas the old version of ldso doesn't). So I don't know why dselect doesn't work this out itself, but anyway, in the meantime, I guess the solution would be to run: dpkg --install rex/binary-i386/base/ldso_1.8.5-1.deb dpkg --configure ldso But because I am not familiar with using dpkg, and because I think ldso is probably a package I cannot afford to make a mistake with, I am hesitant to go ahead. Is this the right thing to do? Do I need to do a dpkg --purge to remove the earlier version of ldso first? Thanks for your help, Mark Phillips.

This is likely what caused the problem. On my machine, 'clock -w' completely scrambles the time on my CMOS clock.

/etc/password locked.
Hi, When I try to use vipw to change the /etc/passwd file, I receive a message that this file is locked. I thing this happened due to a crash when I was editing it with vipw. I would be grateful if someone could give me some advice of how to unlock the passwd file. Thanks! Ramos. -- J.

Bad packages in stable !?!?
Hello, What's going on with "buzz" ? Packages modules-2.0.0-15 and ppp-2.2.0f-18 have Pre-Depends: libc5 (>= 5.4.7-7) in Debian-1.1.16 but that version of libc is not released with buzz... Will this be fixed ? /Per-Eric -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
