Hi's Sorry for this post again. Am hoping that someone might be able to answer that Q from yesterday about removing packages. Reason is that I have downloaded the latest src for libdbd-mysql-perl and I wont to remove the apt-get one. I am going to compile from source and see if that seg fault that I get on PPC platform is solved by a lter version that what is available via debs.
