I think Fabienne is right. Actually when I last tried aptitude under plane root I didn't notice I lost my internet connection (which I'm regaining until now), so I thought aptitude hanged again... I'll fork this message into separate ones then since I have 2 issues now, not exactly related to vim, :). aptitude+sudo as non root not working, and "su" not working at all... Thanks, -- Javier
