Based on what I've done today, it would serve little purpose to paste the requested outputs here. Plus, I'm a little reluctant to post large(ish) text files to the list, as not everyone likes such things. I had done a little searching yesterday, but couldn't get any hits for the exact error I was getting, so dismissed the solutions offered. However, during more extended searching today, one suggestion kept cropping up; 'as root, run "update-apt-xapian-index"'. Although that was usually suggested in reference to the following problem; 'Xapian::DatabaseModifiedError Aborted (core dumped)' I decided to run the command anyway. I then upgraded synaptic to 0.83+nmu1, which now runs. >> xapian-tools (I don't routinely install suggests/recommends), no >> change. >I do not have xapian-tools installed. So that may not be the issue. That's was my point. Probably poorly expressed. Your help with this problem is greatly appreciated. I would not have solved this without your pushing me along. In the process, you've taught me some useful lessons to help trace problems. For that, I'm doubly grateful. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" An old custom to sell your daughter Hong Kong Garden - Siouxsie & The Banshees
