Thanks for the info.

It's netbase 4.05. Interesting, when I run "dpkg -I netbase" I get
"dpkg-deb: failed to read archive `netbase_4.05': No such file or
directory". This is immediately after successfully doing an "apt-get
--reinstall install netbase".

Also, when I try to run "apt-get install netkit-ping", I get "Sorry,
netkit-ping is already the newest version".

Aughgh! The Woodysphere! Aughgh!
