I'm having troubles with IPC (or IPX, I can't remember which one it was) too. It acts quite different from other machines (there are about 20 machines running in the same kind of setup). It dies quite often with apt-get saying dpkg has died for some reason. (and I am using slink) for example this is my current situation : # apt-get install at Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: at: Depends: mailx but it is not installed E: Sorry, broken packages # apt-get update and it has not come back for an hour after typing the last command.. ;( taco> This week i've taken it upon me, to re-install an old sparc IPC using taco> potato. taco> All went fine (took a couple of days, because I wasn't there when I had to taco> hit [ENTER] (or other config-stuff...), but that's all) taco> Anyway, today it was sendmail's turn, but help, it segfaults when running taco> /usr/share/sendmail/updatedb at the end of the config-part. taco> I 've tried it a couple of times, but it keeps segfaulting. taco> On i386 this doesn't happen (just tried...), so it has to do something taco> with the sparc-version. -- dancer, a.k.a.
