so iif I name it 'local0' and 'lenny1' comes out, it won't be installed
because the version number is smaller.

of course, I usually use named like 'fantomas0' etc. I'm searching for
suffix that will cause reinstall when new version appears in debian
repository, so I need to know what versions use debian developers use for
any updates...

I wonder why APT reinstalls the same version of package, it apparently
compares more than just version...

installing linux image doesn't call lilo

Any experience with this problem? rename logs and use graceful restart. You must keep old logs for some time because apache children that did not restart may write to old one.

olvwm misses windows key 'til restart
Hello, I have PC104 keyboard with windows keys, configured to behave as meta keys. Since upgrade to lenny, olvwm doesn't understand the windows key properly - I can't switch viewports using windows- or windows-F*. When olvwm receives focus (which usually means meta key is not needed to switch), pressing windows key causes olvwm not to switch, apparently olvwm notices some keyswitch is used, but doesn't recognize it. When I "restart olvwm" from olvwm's menu, windows key works as expected. Windows key works properly when using kdm or xdm, but I'd like to avoid using *dm. Any idea what could be the problem?

So it depends on what anyone means by "domain does not resolve". If it has MX, I don't take it as "does not resolve" from the SMTP point of view. and I think that the error message meant just that, not that "it does not resolve to an A record" I guess that the original problem was by (temporary) error with resolving - act.gov.au. has one NS servers, one MX pointing at mail.act.gov.au., which has another NS servers. The resolution errors may apear ocasionally appear if some of delegation/authoritative NS records do not match, not talking about mistake in DNS configuration. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.

If a domain doesn't resolve, it's not available for e-mailing, thus it should not be used in mail addresses (you can't mail there, you can't bounce there...). Rejecting mail from non-existing domains has been good and very often used anti-spam practive for YEARS, why do you oppose now? However, the error was just temporary, so if destination mail server will found the MX/A, it may accept the mail in the future (until the mail expires).

I've been playing with gtk-theme-switch, and I found out that configuring smaller font size did "fix" the behaviour. However I'm surprised that the real font size in pixels is not the number I set in the gtk-theme-switch (and in .gtkrc) but something different.

I've had correct DisplaySize in xorg.conf for some time, but this problem has not appeared before.

GTK fonts too big
Hello, afer upgrading to lenny I have noticed that fonts in GTK applications are too big. It seems that GTK does count font size from DPI resolution (hbigger DPI, higher font). Is there any way to force GTK to ignore DPI for displaying fonts? I did NOT ask for better display to have bigger fonts, but to have them smaller (my eyes are good yet). I would like to keep correct DPI for other applications. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.

I'm afraid there's no simple answer. If you added/removed a group, you should better do that using addgroup/delgroup (adduser pkg) or groupadd/groupdel (passwd pkg).
