I use the zope package 2.1.6-5.2. In the ZopeBook it says, that the
Zope Tutorial should be available via the Product add list. There is
an add button in the list of products, but there is no list. And I
didn't find the tutorial elsewhere so far...
Any clues on this one?
Thanks a lot!

D Ghost here,
I've searched and looked for documentation on what sunrpc is and what
starts/stops it in debian. I have checked inetd.conf and it is not started
in there. I want to not run this deamon. How do I "turn it off" ?

I did a "dpkg --search imake" on my system, and it reports that it is part of
the "xlib6-dev" package:
(cc37450-a)hnine:/home/hnine[508]$ dpkg --search /usr/X11R6/bin/imake
xlib6-dev: /usr/X11R6/bin/imake
(cc37450-a)hnine:/home/hnine[509]$
Cheers.
