I now notice that apt-get is stuck at 99.2% CPU usage when its stuck. There are no pending packages to be configured. Aptget -f install hit the "Correcting dependencies" message ..and got stuck.

When I run apt-get update, it connects with each server, then tells me that it's reading the Package Lists and Building the Dependency Tree. You might try apt-get -f update. Also, if any packages are giving you problems, you can type dpkg --configure --pending. That will configure anything that's not already configure. If it encounters errors, it'll diplay them and suggest what packages may fix them. Try this and see what happens. If you're still having problems, then I suggest you post to the list. There are people there who are a million times more knowledgeable than I am. hth -- __ _ Mark Wagnon Debian GNU/ -o) / / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chula Vista, CA /\\/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] _\_v____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ http://www.debian.org
