Interesting. On one of my woody boxes with X11: VT3 root-Deb-Woody:~# dpkg -S /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/app-defaults dpkg: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults not found. dpkg: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/app-defaults not found. and ls -l says they are both synlinks to /etc/X11/app-defaults 21 Oct 16 13:26 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults -> /etc/X11/app-defaults 21 Jan 18 21:20 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/app-defaults -> /etc/X11/app-defaults ls -l /etc/X11/app-defaults 2048 Feb 22 12:36 app-defaults so VT3 root-Deb-Woody:~# dpkg -S /etc/X11/app-defaults xbase-clients, xxgdb, gv, xvncviewer, xfig, ghostview, lesstif-bin, xcal, ddd, xterm, xkeycaps, xless, ssh-askpass: /etc/X11/app-defaults and all have different creation dates. Seems like an upgrade problem with X11 versions. Note: This is a Slink -> Potato -> Woody apt-get dist-upgrade box, which could account for this. -- Press any key to continue or any other key to quit... _______________________________________________________ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
