I don't know about this particular issue, but I found famd to be a constant source of problems. Gamin is better, but not perfect. I actually don't have either one installed - not very many things actually depend on them. I do have libfam installed - lots of things depend on that or libgamin, but even libfam and libgamin don't depend on their daemons (they merely suggest them). Unless you really need fam, you should look into removing it. aptitude remove fam worked, and I still have some libfam files around: # locate libfam /usr/lib/libfam.a /usr/lib/libfam.la /usr/lib/libfam.so /usr/lib/libfam.so.0 /usr/lib/libfam.so.0.0.0 so we shall see if I needed it, or miss it. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459
