// i just tried to install "nagios-common" and it removed a lot of my good programs--gimp, xine, mplayer.... that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. (i'm still trying to access the totality of what it removed.) from what's left, i may have to rebuild the box. (mplayer won't even install now.) why would a "network monitoring tool" need to decimate a system? it jacked me up! i was running sid. kthxbye. b. // -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
