John --
I just got a similar problem description from a friend who runs Debian. From
his message, his problems seemed to be associated with an upgrade he did
that might have changed some shared libraries. That got me wondering about
your case -- did installing either the new kernel or the radio package mess
with the libraries at all? Do the apps that no longer work share calls to
some library not used by the ones that still work (you can check this with
"ldd appname" ... assuming, of course, that ldd itself still works)?
As to the smtp and http problems ... are the apps (sendmail and httpd)
running or not ("ps aux | grep send" and "ps aux | grep http")? If not, what
happens when you try to start them (as root) from the command line?
sendmail -bd -q15
for httpd, you'll need to see how it is invoked from some rc script -- the
needed command line switches vary by distribution.
If yes, do the logs show any reports that might help explain the failures?
And with respect to find and locate, what does "fail" mean? Does nothing
happen? Do you get a message like "bash: /usr/bin/find: No such file or
directory"? Does the app itself give you some error message? Does it run but
give you a bad result? Or something I'm not thinking of?
