fsck. I cannot really do that as I´m running a (very) weird mix of 
 slink (kernel 2.0.38), potato, testing and unstable and fought for
 /ages/ to get it running. And then there was this space-problem which 
 led to cleaning up /var/cache/apt/archive ...

Seems like time to re-format and -partition the disk and restore
 from backup.
Holy Shit, and my plan for today was playing with Debian on my new ;-)
 Sun SS1...

cheers,
