The problem turned out, rather unexpectedly, to be that xscreensaver recommends the virtual package "perl". Since both perl-5.004 and perl-5.005 conflict with "perl" (providing "perl5" instead), dselect silently selected them for removal... which chained down to everything which had a direct or in

I'd guess that you're machine isn't able to do a reverse name lookup on the box you're coming from. Assuming this is the case, two options come to mind: 1) Add an entry in /etc/hosts for the client machine. This is only practical if it has a static IP address. 2) Modify /etc/hosts.deny, and cha
