The above command should only be run by a package's postrm script, not by an administrator for a package which is currently installed on the system. That's why update-rc.d doesn't do anything if links arelady exist and you don't tell it 'force': it respects any changes the administrator may have made manually when being run in a package's postinst script. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes." -- E.W.
