Excuse me? You're telling that a package version in Sarge will not be maintained any longer? Rob, Thomas is an upstream kmymoney2 developer. I forwarded the bug report upstream as it wasn't a specific Debian issue per se, but rather an upstream issue, Thomas, advised that upstream aren't maintaining 0.6.4 anymore. Is this a Debian policy? As far as Debian goes, the stable branch is only maintained for security updates, new versions of packages are not submitted. As this is not a security issue it won't be fixed for sarge. Short of using testing/unstable or going to 34rd parties, just how would one upgrade to 0.8.2 when it's not even available in Sarge? There are a couple of options available. You could always backport the package from sid to work in a sarge environment. http://www.backports.org maybe able to assist here. Or you could add a sid deb-src line to your apt/sources.list and then do something like: # apt-get build-dep kmymoney2 # apt-get -b source kmymoney2 Or alternatively you could wait until the next stable release of Debian which should contain the updated version of kmymoney2.

Simple way to downgrade libc6 (fix Konqueror, Mozilla and Galeon problems)
Given the current interest in downgrading libc6, to enable unstable Konqueror, Mozilla or Galeon to function correctly, I thought I would post the simplest method of downgrade. # apt-get install libc6=2.2.4-1 This of course assumes you have testing listed in your apt.sources: deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian testing main Please ensure you use your local mirror for testing... For full details please consult apt-get(8). For those who are interested in the problem with libc6, please look at: http://bugs.debian.org/libc6 Hope this is of some help...

I haven't been able to isolate the cause of the problems yet. is there a way to get either fdisk or lilo to fix this problem? by fix i mean correct so that i can still boot and access my files. The very first thing to do is to take a backup copy of your existing partion table as any changes to the partition table can be bad. See below... Once you have taken a backup copy you then need to edit your partition table to get it back into reasonable shape. This should not be undertaken by the faint of heart and ensure that all your data is backed up before you attempt this. I used gpart(8) to do the recovery and it seems to be working fine now. Mark To quote from the gpart(8) man page: PRECAUTIONS gpart may be of some help when the primary partition table was lost or destroyed but it can under no circumstances replace proper disk/partition table backups. To save the master boot record (MBR) including the primary partition table to a file type dd if=/dev/hda of=mbr bs=512 count=1 exchanging /dev/hda with the block device name of the disk in question. This should be done for all disks in the sys? tem. To restore the primary partition table without over? writing the MBR type dd if=mbr of=/dev/hda bs=1 count=64 skip=446 seek=446 Warning: make sure that all parameters are typed as shown and that the disk device is correct. Failing to do so may result in severe filesystem corruption. The saved file should be stored in a safe place like a floppy disk.

This was a 3 day thing for me when I first did it, and wow, gee, we have more than 3 days till monday! sarcasm inserted here I think if all the package maintainers would just go and recompile, we would not be arguing about this. And, it would take less than three days. No changes in source had to be made, just re-compiling.. thats it. But how would it be possible for every single package maintainer to recompile their particular package in the next three days?? What about the ones who are off on holidays, busy at work, etc. Add to that if they do compile they will need to upgrade the package to a higher version number and there may be a few little errors which creep in such as leaving out conf definitions and the like. There is no way that all packages in the debian distribution could be tested in the next three days. The reason why there is three months between releases is that the package sets come together and are known to work well. Recompiling everything three days before release is just asking for problems. But it doesn't pose a problem does it?? It just means that Debian 1.2 will be based on libc5.2 and all the packages in 1.2 have been tested over the last three months. libc5.4 (or greater) will still be available for those who dare in unstable and will be released in three months time when all these little niggly bugs are ironed out. A lot of people depend on stable, being just that. If Debian releases a buggy release it will reflect badly. We have a lot to loose and nothing to gain by including libc5.4 in 1.2.

Debian allowed me to select Tkined and it told me what else was needed and then downloaded the relvant components.

Re: XFree86 3.1.2F plans?
I had the same problem. My Mach64 chip is also new and wasn't recognized by the Debian Mach64 package. In my case the solution was simple, although it may not work in all cases. I installed the debian Mach64 Xserver (xserver-mach64.3.1.2-5.deb) and I then only downloaded the new 3.12G Xserver (XF86_Mach64) without any of the config files or supporting applications. I renamed the 3.12G server to XF86_Mach64.312G and placed it in the /usr/X11/bin/ directory with my other Xservers. When I edited the config file /etc/X11/Xserver to point to the new server everything worked like a charm. The beauty is that I haven't overwritten any of the debian controlled xserver files and have only added one additional file (/usr/X11/bin/XF86_Mach64.312G). Thus when the next debian release comes out I can upgrade without fear. Of course I am not totally sure of what mixing the binary with the debian config does, but it works and is giving me good results here. Mark David C.
