Potato is already completely useable and very good. I just updated my
one of my production servers. I have a minor problem, though:

1)

When I use a script at <URL:
http://www.dk.debian.org/distrib/packages/ > where I can look for what 
is inside of packages I find no file named db_stop. What's this?

2) rwhod, rwho and ruptime failed to configure. Unfortunately I forgot 
to write exact error messages down :( It was something like rwho
depends on rwhod which is not yet installed. I removed them, I'll try
to re-install them now, let's see what happens.
