Someone asked about an entry which appears in his logs, informing him that
emacs and movemail are not registered.
I found the fix to this problem, and I don't know how I missed it before.
Just remove the lines pertaining to movemail and emacs from your /etc/suid.conf

okay that makes sense then. i suggest that if you like that version of

Has anyone else noticed that wine depends on libgl1, but that package is
no longer available? What happened here? Is libgl1 no longer needed for
some reason? Does anyone still have this package because it's not on the
debian site anywhere.
I was trying to get some x10 and some samba stuff working and I did a
force install. Now I get errors when I run dselect. I can't install
things since it can't find the packages for these things that I forced.
Oh, I suppose it is worth noting that I did a force-depends to see how
