There could be a way to refresh the status file. I am not familiar with one. You still might want to read dpkg man page, or google for it. For start, you might want to have a list of the offending lines. You can try grep, sed, or whatever textual tool you are familiar with. And you might divide and conquer: separate the grepping for Knoppix left overs, and those that are not. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
