I always do an "apt-get autoclean" after every upgrade to remove any old deb packages. The latest packages are still retained. Cheers, Brendan Simon.

user startx, hosed after kernel upgrade
hi, i'm running testing on a vaio z505r with X 4. this was all running fine. my problem started after doing a new kernel (2.4.17) to try to get a backpack cdrw working through the parallel port. installing the new kernel is ok but i have the following error when a user runs startx: Error loading keymap /var/tmp/server-0.xkm Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap root can startx just fine. i've hunted with google but can't seem to find a solution for this one. any suggestions where to look? thanks, p.s. i'm still working on getting the backpack cdrw working. -- Serge Rey http://typhoon.sdsu.edu/rey.html "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." -- Betrand Russell pgptAXCDVugi8.pgp Description: PGP signature
