Gentlemen, do $ find /usr/local -mtime -222 /usr/local/lib/libxbase-2.0.so.0 /usr/local/lib/libxbase.so /usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages /usr/local/lib/texmf/ls-R /usr/local/share/emacs/21.3 /usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/site-lisp /usr/local/share/octave/site-m... $ dlocate /usr/local Shows no culprits. Do other users spot activity in /usr/local/? I doubt it is something I compiled instead of apt-getting.
