Your computer is complaining that one of the keys (the X) is invalid. This is not sysctl's doing! It will try to set whatever you give it, so its not an API thing, something is "driving" sysctl incorrectly. In other words some script somewhere on your system is trying to set a deprecated key, using sysctl. That script is the problem, not sysctl. Otherwise "cat" has the same problem :) [1367355.534803] process `cat' is using deprecated sysctl (syscall) net.ipv6.neigh.default.retrans_time; Use net.ipv6.neigh.default.retrans_time_ms instead. you get that by doing # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/neigh/default/retrans_time You need to grep wider, or try to work out when it happens. In any case its not a bug in procps. - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 http://www.enc.com.au/ csmall at : enc.com.au http://www.debian.org/ Debian GNU/Linux, software should be Free -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
