Thanks for your suggestion. Here's what I found: 1. The contents of my nmblookup is:
rship of the /var/lib/mysql directory:\n\n /var/lib/mysql: drwxr-xr-x mysql mysql Type: note Owners: mysql-server-5.1/nis_warning Name: mysq 2. I tried running the 2 commands you suggest, and get the following error with both: update-alternatives: error: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/nmblookup corrupt: invalid status If you have any more suggestions, I will be happy to try them, however, I may be out of town for several days due to a family issue.
