The same sort of error messages came to me (when I made 2.1.132)
when my system lacked a _package_ (program) that was needed to

Allright, so what about the following? Do programs sometimes
need to be unregistered as well? Is the following a security
problem on my system?
/etc/cron.daily/suidmanager:
suidregister: /var/list/.bin/multigram registered but not installed
suidregister: /usr/lib/emacs/19.34/i386-debian-linux/mo
When I try to remove an old kernel-image, the following error
occurs.
Can't return outside a subroutine at
/var/lib/dpkg/info/kernel-image-2.2.9.postrm line 111

deleting other important directories!)
then
mkdir /home/yourusername/.netscape/

Do any of you see any potential problem with putting the
'nosuid' option for the '/' directory in /etc/fstab? I'm trying
to follow a Linux security How-To, but am less encouraged to

Seriously, Mike, bleeding edge hardware and software will be either
more expensive or more difficult to install. I choose the slightly more
difficult route to getting work done, because high market profile tools
(like Bill's favorites) are too expensive and lacking in security for
corporations
