This is wierd: In aptitude I looked up the package 'dhcp-client', and it's current state is 'c' for the package was removed, but its configuration files are still present. This is true because the command 'locate' shows the existance of /sbin/dhclient (meaning it was there at some point in time), and the configuration file /etc/dhclient.conf is still there, but the command 'ls' shows the executable '/sbin/dhclient' not being there. So it was probably removed when I installed dhcpcd. Now I'm installing the package 'dhcp-client' in aptitude and it's reinstalling libc6-dev, taking 2 1/2 hours because of my slow modem. > > if nothing else, maybe its debug message will be a little bit more helpful > than dhcpcd. > > pete > _______________________________________________ > vox-tech mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech > _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
