Yeah, and I don't think the Torr scale goes that far in the - direction. Next topic, trying to make amanda work, cannot using the wheezy packages, and I have now been 4 or 5 days trying to beat the wheezy debs into submission. But it will work fine if I install the debs from the zmanda site. Whats the usual fix, but now apt-get purge cannot find the installed packages even though I am looking at them in /var/cache/apt/archives. gene@shop:/var/cache/apt/archives$ ls|grep amanda amanda-client_1%3a3.3.1-4_i386.deb amanda-common_1%3a3.3.1-4_i386.deb But: sudo apt-get purge amanda-common_* amanda-client_* Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package amanda-common_1%3a3.3.1-4_i386.deb E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'amanda-common_1%3a3.3.1-4_i386.deb' E: Unable to locate package amanda-client_1%3a3.3.1-4_i386.deb E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'amanda-client_1%3a3.3.1-4_i386.deb' And I've fooled around and cannot get synaptic to run on either of those machines when run from an ssh -Y login. gene@shop:/var/cache/apt/archives$ sudo synaptic X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. (synaptic:14317): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:11.0 In /etc/ssh/sshd_conf (all machines) ForwardX11 = yes In the env output, both machnes show DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 or DISPLAY=localhost:11.0 Any clues on this? I haven't a clue where that setting with localhost is coming from. Is that the problem? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
