I'd be rather concerned about that last one. Are you sure you haven't got disk corruption or memory problems? An I/O error points to the former. Can you 'less /var/lib/dpkg/status' and scroll down to the end without errors? I'm fishing here, but you might want to try to strace something that's giving this bus error and see where it's breaking. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
