Thanks to you both for the helpful suggestions (yes my password file
is still there and not - as far as I can tell - fuqued, and yes,
Slackware had altered the directory permissions on /etc and /var).
However:

In my /lib directory I have:

libBrokenLocale.so.1 -> libBrokenLocale-2.0.6

2776 libBrokenLocale-2.0.6.so

I have tried re-installing libdb2.3.16.deb and doing ldconfig, without
result, and am unsure how to repair the above error - presumably a
linking error. I also  ried renaming the above files and then
re-installing libdb2, but dpkg then complains that it cannot find
libBrokenLocale, which the fuquer apparently needs.

Any suggestions? Many thanks IA.
