[snip] I have two VM-guests apt-get updated and upgraded today and did not encounter these problems. My package versions are: ii dpkg 1.9.17 ii g++ 2.95.4-6 ii g++-2.95 2.95.4-0.010827 ii gcc 2.95.4-6 ii gcc-2.95 2.95.4-0.010827 ii less 358-9 ii perl 5.6.1-5 ii perl-5.6 6.2 ii perl-base 5.6.1-5 ii perl-modules 5.6.1-5 ii telnet 0.17-15.0.1 The only difference I sees is in less (you: 358-8, me:358-9) but this shouldn't explain your problems. I just tried a apt-get remove g++ gcc telnet less apt-get install g++ gcc telnet less on one of the machines and nothing went wrong. Although it seems very unlikely but might it be a Hercules problem? Jochen
