After an unsuccessful dselect session I had a nearly full disk and wanted to get rid of the files I'd d/led, so I deleted /var/cache/apt. Hey, I didn't know. So now whenever I try to dselect it fails because it can't find some files that are supposed to be in that dir. Anybody know how I can recreate the required files? -- ----------------------------------- Jim Bowering <iamb@otvcablelan.net> -----------------------------------
