I never really looked in to it, but my i386 systerm running sid will often hang ssh sessions when I am doing dist-upgrade, usually either while unpacking or while configuring. It seems it never hangs while doing anything else. I can't think of any reason dpkg should make it hang, but it happens almost every time (it may in fact happen every time, I am not sure). On the other hand I don't think my mythtv box (also running i386 sid) has ever hung an ssh connection yet. I wonder what is different other than I am ssh'ing in from remote to the first system sometimes, while I always ssh from the first system to the mythtb system when doing updates. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
