Hi Marcus -- You asked: Thanks everybody I didn't have the crt*.o in my lib directory. It should be in the libc-dev*.deb right? No, it should be in /usr/i486-linuxaout/lib. You can see what directory a file will be installed into by looking at the Contents file associated with the distribution

Sendmail and Masquerading

Dear all, I have noticed a small oddity with my addressing in sendmail. All seemed to work really well with pop clients connecting to my Debian 1.1 box, but if I use elm or plain mail my From: line is not correct. I (think I) have set up sendmail to masquerade as avondel.xs4all.nl. My .mc file

Two Packages Missing

1996-09-02 Thread Hubert Palme
1. The package taper recommends ftape. No such package is available in debian. Is it needed? 2. A lot of packages (e.g. magicfilter) recommend pbmlus which isn't available as a debian package too. Doesn't it make sense to add those two packages to debian?

The current implementation of postgres95 for Debian requires libbsd.so.1.0.0, but the libc5 package includes only libbsd.a. (How) can I make libbsd.so.1.0.0 from the .a file? (Sorry to be asking what I imagine is such a naive question.) Thanks in advance, Susan Kleinmann
