Hello,
because a stupid mistake, I have interrupted apt-get during early

Hi Eric,
I just started using approx. I'm really impressed. It's a great

Here's a question: Is it permissible/possible to have two (or more)

crw-rw 1 root root 254, 0 May 10 23:51 /dev/rtc0

Sorry for the noise...

I recently installed an AMD64 box from a sid_d-i businesscard CD in

It asked me some questions that I didn't remember seeing on my PowerPC

I understand normal sid churn, but usually a problem like this is
fixed in a couple of days. These packages have been broken for well
