Hey gang, Still puzzling over how this happened. During the upgrade I got a message about an install script not being able to make a sym-link in /usr/X11R6/bin because the directory was "full" and needed to be "emptied". So I moved it to /root/backup/usr_X11R6/bin where a copy still resides. before the final attempt at the upgrade I noticed a bunch of files in /usr/X11R6/bin that weren't there before. Not sure where they came from, I hadn't copied all those files in there and I certainly hadn't done a sym-link.

Anyway, if it wasn't me and was the scripts this is a very bad thing and needs to be fixed so I figured I would post it. PS Anyone know a convenient way to restore /usr/bin on an AMD64? Is there a way to "refresh" an install? Thanks. hgh. -- Henry Hollenberg hgh@rcwm.com
Did a bunch of dpkg repair by hand and copied over some /usr/bin files from another partition and apt finally took off. Still have lingering errors from postgresql and X is broken: andy:/etc/init.d# ./postgresql-7.4 restart Restarting PostgreSQL 7.4 database server: main* Error: You must run this program as the cluster owner (postgres) failed! Which seems to be hanging up the last few packages clearing out of apt-get upgrade...... hgh. -- Henry Hollenberg hgh@rcwm.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
