CPAN installations are not something that package managers can work with. This problem is a factor on any Unix.

I'm not saying it's vital, I'm saying that the fact it's missing is a sign of a messed up installation.

The apt version actually created a slimserver user account with /usr/share/slimserver as its home directory. It may feel free to create anything there, but please not in roots home!
It shouldn't be doing anything in /root, unless you're running as root and it's reading an environment variable.
> I would start over At which point? With which version? I've uninstall and manually removed all traces I could find about a dozen times now, and tried three Debian packages (6.5.0, 6.5.1 and 7.0a1) as well as three tarballs (nightly from today, nightly 6.5.x, normal 6.5.0). Or do you want me to reinstall the whole box?
Not having a Debian/PPC box myself, I can't authoritatively say that the packages you're using aren't broken at the time you download them; what I can say is that they're clearly broken at the time that you're using them. If you're doing something (such as removing mDNSResponder because you don't need it), I'd recommend not doing it; download and install works for most people, so the key is to find what is different about your situation. Are you logged in as root and using sudo -u slimserver slimserver.pl? That would leave environment variables pointing to places that the effective user can't write. -- "I spent all me tin with the ladies drinking gin, So across the Western ocean I must wander" -- traditional _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
