A bit of progress last night - I managed to compile apt-get with debugging symbols after finding http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=306937. A big thank you to Andreas Henriksson for posting the patch on the day that I needed it (was that a coincidence ?).

This is as far as I have got for this evening. Gordon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
