I thought I had this fixed, but will trying to upgrade to slinks procps I got the error that dpkg could not overwrite /usr/doc/procps.... So I started mc and went to /usr/doc/procps and damn it's a deleted file - no length nothing. So I tried to delete and got the message operation not permitted and yes I am root. Can anyone help me on this!!! Roddie Rod 'Man is the greatest cancer ever to be seen' -Entombed 'Contempt'
