I did read it. It seemed that the stable revdep-rebuild solution was to start editing system files. I didn't want to do that as I don't know what they do. (Please remember, I am a DUMMY. I am NOT a computer scientist, a sys admin or a programmer. I used to design chips and now play music and trade stocks and options. I don't use ~x86 except when I have a reason. I suspect I'll just go back to stable and join the hordes looking for a fix to the stable version of revdep-rebuild.) Anyway, thanks for the help. Cheers, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
