I was installing a few packages from the archive that I hadn't gotten around to doing (like the new hurd*.deb, etc.) when I came across the libnfslock deb file.� Unfortunately, this is not a hurd package (or if it is, it's really, really bad), because when dpkg -i finished with it, everything locked up complaining that the linker could not resolve some symbols in nfslock.so So, I tried rebooting, which now hangs as serverboot tries to fire off the exec server.� It just hangs indefinitely. So, I used my handly Linux rescue disk, mounted the hurd drive and removed nfslock.so and it's links, then rebooted and it still hangs on the exec server. So I attempted to copy all of the "good" files form the hurd package to my hurd machine (over the old library files, etc.) And it still stop in the exec server.... Any idea what else I can try?� Or should I just wipe the partition and reinstall... Luckily I managed to upload vim-5.3b series before this happened. This is supposed to provide X support, but I find it doesn't really because it tries to link to the athena widgets, which we don't have yet! :) Help! -Brent
