I don't have anything in /var/cache/apt/archives. I have not idea what kde looks into. I use Konqueror but I don't have KDE installed (I use icewm). The only other choice which I can see is to run aptitude, select the installed-packages meta-line, and tell aptitude to reinstall everything. Since the system runs, it won't be down during the reinstall. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
