Re: no way to remove something if the control file is damaged

[...] odd, no way to remove something if the control file is damaged. Perhaps try wget .../sysadmin-guide_0.7-2_all.deb and variations of dpkg -i sysadmin-guide_0.7-2_all.deb which other readers of this list might mention... I managed to work this one out, not sure exactly but

ISO problems (rsync is silently exiting)

mailman wierdness

hi, running mailman here, have had it going for a few months now without any problems. But today I added about 15 new lists and suddenly when I goto the listinfo page it says there are no publicly advertised lists here. Which means that users can't find the lists to subscribe/unsubscribe etc.

apache, ssl, slink, potato and apt

Hi, I'm trying to do something here which is probably a bit wacko. I'm running slink and have not upgraded to potato due to a lack of hdd space, but need php3.0.15 and that version is not available for slink. In an act of senseless desperation I went ahead and changed my sources.list to use

SSLwrapper software

Hi, I'm still using slink, just curious if anyone has begun work packaging some sslwrapper software (sslwrap, stunnel). I'd like to have pop-3s from an apt-getted .deb as opposed to doing the whole search and destroy thing. Hopefully this is already in potato? -- Mark

mailman craziness

Hi, I think I've somehow managed to break mailman. Today I went to bulk add some users to one of my mailing lists, clicked the submit button on the admin webpage and ... nothing was changed. So I did some other testing, trying to remove others that were subscribed, changing the footer and so

X and terminals and that galderned backspace key

Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I am lazy. :) In X, backspace doesn't work properly in terms. it gives a strange code value similar to ^]]GF or something. ^H works as a backspace. But since I use windows some of the time (please don't waste your time flaming me for that) I'm used to the backspace

Perplexing mailman situation
