I'm going to give your suggestions a lot of thought as soon as I get the last of the bugs out. I did try removal and re installation and it didn't help. I'm not sure that I did a good job of stripping out all of the old data though. I' m going to try again. Backuppc is a bit picky about sym-links. I think that this is at the route of most of my problems. Rsync needs to have a -D switch set before it will transmit them properly. Of course I didn't find this out until after I got in trouble.

I did try removal and re installation and it didn't help. I'm not sure that I did a good job of stripping out all of the old data though. I' m going to try again. I am just going to mention that I like 'dlocate' as a very much faster way to get 'dpkg -S' information. It is indexed. I haven't looked at KDE in particular but there are often icons under /usr/share such as under /usr/share/icons and I could envision symlinks too. You may need to track those down. You will usually find these types of things in the underlying something-base or something-icons or other dependent packages. It probably isn't the first package at the top of the tree. It is probably in one of the underlying packages down at the bottom. Figuring out what package is down at the bottom that you need can be tedious. And of course trying to purge it will want to unlayer everything else depending upon it. At times I have used dpkg with a --force-depends to remove and purge a package and then install it again immediately afterward. Rather than say much of this again here let me reference a previous posting where I described some techniques to use /var/backups to list what was installed and what is installed and to compare the two. http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/09/msg00437.html Hopefully it will be useful information. Backuppc is a bit picky about sym-links. I think that this is at the route of most of my problems. I do like BackupPC quite a bit though. Rsync needs to have a -D switch set before it will transmit them properly. Of course I didn't find this out until after I got in trouble. An rsync -D option? I am unfamiliar with it. Please say more. I will hopefully learn something. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Apt-get hangup
I just had to do a major restore on one of my systems and am having trouble with updates. Openoffice.org seems to be the biggest problem. There is a whole bunch of partially configured packages and I can't seem to do any of the aptitude, apt-get, dpkg-reconfigure or apt-cache functions. A example of the terminal output is pasted below.
