to round-up the issue, this was due to a bug in amprolla3, now fixed https://git.devuan.org/devuan-infrastructure/amprolla3/commit/22ec2a3634b8eee640a335e8d9f28754509e7024 thanks everyone for spotting it and to parazyd for recognising it and fixing it immediately! I was also confused by the nature of this glitch. ciao _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
