Or >perhaps install/use 'apt upgrade' and see if it can fix up things >(including yum) Humm, I seem to have apt-get, but not apt. Odd, but then everytime I let synaptic anywhere this system, it breaks things. I have these two archives: /usr/dlds/apt-0.5.5cnc5-fr0.rh73.2.i386.rpm /usr/dlds/apt-devel-0.5.5cnc5-fr0.rh73.2.i386.rpm are they recent enough? Prolly not, looks like rh7.3 stuff from here. I'll see if I can find a newer apt after some shuteye time. >If yum were to work - I would do 'yum list extras' to look for >packages that don't belong to any known repository - and perhaps > weed them out. > >Satish -- Cheers, Gene There are 4 boxes to be used in defense of liberty.
