/PLAYING/ with aptitude? It's not exactly a toy, but my preferred package manager. What the heck is ... <googling for mondo>... Ah. I have recent backups of /home and /etc, but somehow they're not very useful in this case. I now have installed a brand new sarge... most stuff is working again, but it will take me weeks to fix all the odds and ends I'm currently not even aware of. But, hmmmm. What use is aptitude (or any package manager) if you have to make a backup everytime? No, wrong approach. It's not as if aptitude would leave a trail of destruction each time it's called, and I don't know if it's even the frontend to blame or rather some (un-)set dependencies that didn't work out. Any clue how I get aptitude to report its actions to some logfile? This would have made my recovery attempts a lot easier. cu, Schnobs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
