apt-get install nagios-common
the output is gone. all i can remember is that
after the packages were downloaded, maybe 30-40
programs were removed. i thought they had been
upgraded by "nagios-common."
(after going through "apt-get install nagios-com-
mon" again, i see that mplayer now works; but
other things are borked.)
