Re: Network problem
I was staring at the same problem this morning trying to recall exactly
which packages I'd installed in the last couple of days. I figured it would
be easy to back out if I could ask dpkg to give me the date the packages had
been installed on. I read through the man page but was unable to find any
such option. Is this possible with dkpg? In not, is there another program
which could give me this information? Granted this time around its an easy
enough fix to just replace the file, but I'm still curious.
