Maybe you just need to remove the symlinks. I notice that my /usr/X11R6/lib/i486-linuxaout directory is empty (hamm). chuckle Can't do that Bill, they've got to point to somewhere! Strange how my tunnel vision works -- there are symlinks there, where are the libraries? There must be

When it rains, it pours! :-) Does anyone know what package contains the various libraries found in /usr/X11R6/lib/i486-linuxaout? I'm missing these files for some reason and many packages want them! Right now, all I have are some bad symlinks in that subdir. A grep of /var/lib/dpkg/info

I finally got my Linux box back up after motherboard problems and so the first thing I wanted to do was to update my old copy of hamm. However, when I ran dselect to grab updates I find that the package lists from ftp.debian.org are mangled or bad and only list a few packages in them (for

Does anyone know what happened to the nifty little clock program that used to be in /sbin/clock? I used that to set my CMOS clock time from the OS' time but since I updated to hamm I can't seem to find it. A grep of Contents-i386 doesn't seem to show it either. Anyone know its status? Thanks
