Everything now works fine. The solution, suggested by Florian Kulzer, was to upgrade lsb* to version 3.2-22. For some strange reason, it was necessary that day to "aptitude update" several times to be offered version 3.2.22. A laptop updated the morning of Saturday, 21 March, got 3.2-22, and never had a problem. Two other machines updated _later_ that same afternoon were moved only from 3.2-20 to 3.2-21. After receiving Florian's suggestion, two or three repeats of "aptitude update" were needed in order to get the desired choice. Anyway, this puzzling fact aside, all is well at present. I've written it off to the joys of running side. -- JohnRChamplin@columbus.rr.com ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/99421A63 2005-01-05 EE51 79E9 F244 D734 A012 1CEC 7813 9FE9 9942 1A63 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 99421A63
