The latest ssh package (1.2.1pre24-1) appears to have an odd problem:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ssh athens.arena.com
You have no controlling tty. Cannot read passphrase.
This problem occurs both in X (under xterm and Eterm) and on console.
I recompiled openssh 1.2.1pre24 from the Debian sources and
I was attempting to install and later remove console-data on a powerpc
platform when I got the following:

you have the version of the disk drivers which are causing the
problem? (Color me stupid... how do you figure out what version of
the drivers are currently installed?)

of rebuilding the packages that want slang1 << 1.3.

Oh dear, I'm an idiot. I just realized that dselect was warning me
-not- to upgrade slang because of the dependency problem with
upgrading. Still, will I have to perpetually hold slang1 back?

This is an odd dependency problem I've been seeing lately from slang1:
lynx-ssl depends on slang1 (<< 1.3)
bb depends on slang1 (<< 1.3)
libggi-target-aa depends on slang1 (<< 1.3)
urlview depends on slang1 (<< 1.3)
gimp depends on slang1 (<< 1.3)
dselect reports this as a dependency conflict eve
I'm having some trouble not installing fingerd, rwhod and the rest of
the r* gang. Trouble is that netstd 3.07-10 depends on them and
netbase 3.16-2 in turn recommends netstd. dselect won't let me get
rid of netstd without dumping netbase, too (which, of course, I can't
do).
Is this a bug? A fe

I got the same problem when I compiled the kernel myself (gcc 2.95.1)
from the kernel-source-2.2.12 and kernel-patches-2.2.12. I have yet to try
compiling straight from the pure Linux source.

I compiled 2.2.11 myself, works pretty good but I'm using an Apple G3
Powerbook, which is a different SCSI controller than yours, probably.
I forget which compiler I used... probably egcs 1.1.2.

averages over 30. Lots of
update-menus and dpkg processes running.
Funny thing was, the CPU was 80% to 90% idle. I was using all 64 megs
of RAM and anywhere from 50 to 95 megs of swap. I have a feeling that
was the problem, I've noticed disk performance to be really bad.

Perhaps the question you should be asking yourself is not "how fast is
this computer" but "does it do what I want?" I've seen people buy
hideously overpowered machines and do nothing but write papers.
So, what do you want to do with it

ator helps somewhat.
I usually just kill netsccape at least once a week. Consider maybe iCad.

Trust me, it is. I would have -no- idea where to start writing
XF86Config from scratch. So how 'bout it? Add an X config program
plase?
