Exactly, so console-data does not make much sense (it's there because it's platform-independent). BTW, there is a loadkeys-like utility somewhere, but that's not packaged. > Another problem concerns netbase. It depends on a lot of packages > that doesn't appear to be available. Those packages are ipfwadm, > ipchains, ipforward, net-tools, etc... The whole firewalling stuff is not supported by the current hurd. These dependencies will actually vanish in the future, they are just there to smoothen upgrades. Are you missing specific things from netbase? If not, just leave it uninstalled. The general problem is that some Priority fields are not overly correct for hurd-i386. That together with dselect's zeal to have all required/important/standard packages installed creates most of these glitches. For the moment, one workaround is to use another package selector. I like aptitude - the current debian source should compile cleanly, and there's an inofficial binary deb at <URL:http://pluto.tuwien.ac.at/~robbe/debian/hurd/aptitude_0.0.7.4-1.deb> -- Robbe
