I don't know whether this is related, but lately I've been getting file-system errors (which forced me to do fsck) after updates with apt-get update Sometime the console was put in root prompt# with fsck instruction, and other time it just locked the machine. (I updated our GNU/Hurd machine remotely over ssh. It is annoying to go to the machine room and do fsck.) Has anybody experienced a similar case? -- budi -- http://budi.insan.co.id
